I knew things were going too well. We just picked up hubbyās phone that I ordered this morning. I hit the cancel on the original order on our way to the store and it told me it couldnāt confirm. Found out it was in the process of switching to preparing to ship at that moment so couldnāt cancel and will now have to go through the whole return process after it arrives. 
. Had he known it was getting ready to ship, he wouldāve just waited for it but the delivery date was 9/28-10/3 and no one had mentioned that group getting moved up. Oh well, just an extra hassle. At least we both now have the new phones.

I thought Iād turn it off, but right now, I enjoy it!
So far, the dynamic island happens less often than I was expecting too. I wonder how much itāll get used for me.
Same as mine but that guy hasn't moved for last 15 minutes.
My phone came today after a long week of worrying because I put my address in wrong! I'm so excited to unbox and try it after work today š
I have had every gold iPhone available until I went with Purple this year. I donāt have it yet but its going to be different going from always gold to a dark phone. Hope I love it!
If they have what you want in stock. Iām in LA. Too many people.
Patience required for this phone restoration process. 4 hours down -- still 1.5 GB left to restore from iCloud. I am so tempted to pull the plug and get back to trying to fix my Watch mess. Patience . . . Should just wait overnight, probably, and see if net congestion is a factor for iCloud. This is the first time I've had any problems with a new phone start-up. Perhaps have just been lucky and it's now my turn!
Looks like nothing new on the UPS claim end. So jealous of yāall!
For me it was just last week. I frequently get stuff after 9. My delivery window for this iPhone is 5:30-8:30pm so i'm hoping it shows up before midnightš and no, I'm not in a beautiful rural area. In fact, I'm within spitting distance of Tim Cook's house. Well, not in his neighborhood, but you know what I mean...
I miss the days when UPS delivered iPhones at 10AM.
Just got my phone. i wish Apple was more clear on requirements and whats needed when transferring devices. i had sold my old phone 2 days ago fyi. i backed it up and thought i was prepared for an easy process.
At the apple store today i attempted a restore of my icloud to the new phone. First roadblock was that it required 2 factor authentication to set up the phone. I didn't have my old phone, and don't have a computer or device that could authenticate. The option was a text and that was it. No one at apple could help, and they suggested I call Apple tech support. They let me use a phone and I called them. This was a joke. The gal on the phone didn't truly understand the issue, and kept suggesting I just pop my old sim into the new phone. I kindly suggested back to her that wasn't an option on the 14 and had to inform her no physical sim tray existed.
I left Apple a bit flustered, and headed to Verizon. This is where I hit another roadblock. They were happy to help transfer my SIM to an eSIM in store but had to verify my account by texting me. I explained I didn't have a phone to do this and they wouldn't allow me to put my physical sim into a device there to get the text for security reasons. They did suggest to send the verification text to someone else on my plan, and this worked and they were able to successfully transfer to eSIM. From there it was fairly normal and my phone continued the transfer.
I am not sure if I was in an extreme minority of customers that don't have the old device to get through these 2FA things, but glad it worked in the end. I just think Apple, and carriers should be more direct with customers upgrading to any phone from a physical to eSIM to make it easier.

Yāall I jumped in my car and tracked the driver down. He started driving in a different direction. He laughed at me, but gave me my packages! š
Yes, same here. Have everything setup without issue including transferring to watch. Have tried on all my cases and love them. Have reduced my case inventory from 12 to 4, at least for now.
Right? OMG! I dont recall it taking so long last year!
Same boat. Did you get any more info? Iāve tried to track by reference with my phone # and order number and with dropping the last 2 digits with no luck. I wonder if they are stateside already or coming from China. Can you post when you see more movement?
I think everyone in that group got moved to PFS today. I havenāt heard of anymore movement and Iāve been checking constantly.I knew things were going too well.

I'm in love with the deep purple. Had no issues with activatinge esim on AT&T. Apps are still downloading from the iCloud restore.
