Other 2022 iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[soulsteelgray]

So, I had one courier assigned to deliver my phone using the same-day delivery from the Apple Store. One driver was assigned, and she seemed to be on the way, then mysteriously vanished and I no longer had an assigned courier.

Another person was assigned and he came through! I was not able to tip him in the Apple Store app and explained that to him but he had the Cash App and I tipped him generously that way.

Then, immediately after I had this brand new iPhone in hand, my preorder scheduled to arrive September 27-30 moved to Preparing for Shipment and I could no longer cancel the order.

My husband says he’ll take my September 27-30 phone, even though he didn’t want the Max. I told him I had 14 days to return it if he changes his mind!

So, journey over for this year. See y’all again in a couple of years and best of luck to everyone! It’s been fun.

Sure can! 1TB is not enough for me.

300gb in messages! Oh my word lol

I love haptics in general, but I HATE key card haptic. I'm weird.

Dumb guy question... What is key card haptic?
Is that leveraging your iPhone as a key (be it for car, home, etc.)? Regardless, I'd like to hear more about why? #curious

 

[darinzook]

Agree. Has been one of my fav aspects fo the update. Greatly prefer tapping glass with some haptics then without.

This is an iOS 16 feature. No idea why it took this long to add it. I turned it on with my iPhone 13 Pro on Monday right after installing. Works great. Nice to have that tactile like response!

This is getting crazy. This dude left my subdivision and went to Walgreens drop box and stuck there for last 30 minutes.

Thank you @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 for the shout out earlier. You were so kind to mention me. Let’s hope things calm a bit.

Im what 30-40 pages behind and photography is a thing for me so that thread has my attention.. sorry! But I’m happy for those who have their phones, hope the rest get them soon!!

Thank you for being here. Thank you for helping everyone out. I appreciate you posting here in regular basis. Yes, sorry there are so many pages. But that’s one of the greatest thing about this thread and I’m beyond proud of it. That’s why I didn’t get off from this thread because I didn’t want to get behind. Many times I was gone for an hour and there was 10 pages to cover 😭😭. Playing catch up 😂.

Please take good care of my/our new photography thread. I have put in a lot of deep thoughts and sweat into it. Once again, congratulations and go beyond with the iPhone!!

I can see the UPS truck two blocks away…

 

[ssledoux]

Mine has arrived!!

 

[Oridus]

Hey gals/guys… remember that time earlier this week when we were waiting for phones to ship… and then that time passed really quick and now a lot of us are typing in the same thread on our new phones? Yeahhhh me too. Good times.

I havent got a black iphone prolly since iphone X, finally back to black again....dont like the graphite.

 

[tmaxxtigger]

No phone today, doubt they will deliver tomorrow so Monday at the earliest. What this message means is they sent it to the wrong place, entirely. Should have been to Texas, not Massachusetts. Oh well.

Folks! Let’s all gather up and pay our respect and honorary tribute to the beautiful iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max in Sierra Blue! This was an iconic color. You will be missed! 🫡.

Thank you iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max Sierra Blue. ​

I love my sierra blue 13 Pro. Only had it 2 months but it’s still so fresh and a thing of beauty.

After showing the UPS truck right next to my house for 15 minutes (it wasn't there), it's now at least a mile away again, and not moving. I think that Follow My Delivery is experiencing a few... issues... today.

I hope he comes soon or I'm going to have to walk the dog as soon as he delivers and I'd really like to do setup first. (Although the dog would probably prefer a walk. But he doesn't have opposable thumbs so the phone is not his thing.)

UPS tracking works perfectly well for 99% of customers. I have a feeling we represent the 1% that want to know exact, real-time location of our UPS drivers at every, given, second. FFS, we've been tracking flights, all over the globe, for several days now. It's amazing. Love the participants on this über niche thread. SO GOOD! 🤪

I do wish Apple would make a true black phone. Like a matte black phone. That would be super cool. A glossy piano black would be cool too.

 

[Apleeseed84]

This should be on by default. It’s sad, so many people won’t be able to discover it. Unless they are being told about it.

just like the back tap on iPhones that acts as a hidden home button and the ability to use GarageBand to create your own text and ring tones!!

I agree. Also battery percentage is off by default too. Not sure why Apple is doing this. So many people will not know this feature exist 😞

Same. Instantly enabled on my 13 Pro on Monday as well. 😉

 

[Falk25]

YEEEEES!!! I love this! What a day indeed! Happy for you!
Now hopefully you can relax and enjoy your new device. I forget if you already said: what config did you get?

iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB Space Black. After the stress of not knowing if it would be delivered and just getting off from work, I may chill tonight and get down to transferring my data from my current iPhone 12 Pro Max to my new beauty tomorrow. 😌📱

And battery percentage was the second thing I enabled on Monday's update. 😜

I feel the percentage icon does not fit the rest of the status bar aesthetic… so that plus the fact my battery lasts me all day and I don’t miss monitoring it keeps me having that feature turned off.

 

[sawah]

In Love with this color.

 

[ShadowGuardian87]

Not falling for this today, LOL. Congratulations to both of you!!! It's a magical day!

LOL Congrats to you as well

Ups driver probably hate the traffic in Northern Virginia

 

[MacCurry]

Still waiting for UPS. Normally they get here by 3PM, but not today of course. Still says out for delivery by 7PM and has been out for delivery since 9:24AM.

 

[iphonesloth]

Thinking I’m probably the last delivery of the day 😅
