GM all, havenā€™t traded up since 12 PM , waiting for the 14 PM right now, had a delivery date of October 3rd-10th now itā€™s moved up to Monday, September 26th. Which is a pleasant surprise this morning. Wonder if itā€™s possible for the delivery date to move up to the 23rd?
While I got mine opening day, so this does not affect me I was reading that Apple has cranked up more of its regular 14 lines to do 14 Pros and ProMaxā€™s. The article did seem to imply this was moving up order times somewhat that could be what a number of you are now seeing

UPS - quite odd and inconsistent scanning/tracking

After being told by a UPS representative yesterday my 14PM arrived in Louisville then left for shipping to my destination - every time I checked UPS MyChoice or Apple Track My Shipment the shipping record was incomplete. I plan on calling UPS after 8 AM to figure out where it actually is.

Oddity - Just noticed scan for arrival in Incheon appeared so perhaps their systems are slowly beginning to catch up?
Looks good. You might be this:

UPS99B748 Incheon Int'l (RKSI)Anchorage Intl (PANC)10:21PM KST (took off 24 minutes ago)12:22PM AKDT
UPS99B748 Anchorage Intl (PANC)Muhammad Ali Intl (KSDF)03:08PM AKDT (departs in 9 hours 22 minutes)12:40AM EDT

Let us know what they say. My tracking is exactly the same. Itā€™s possible they went ahead and sent the manifest to Louisville for our iPhones. That way going thru customs is faster? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
Good point.

Yeah I think this ā€œso called wave 3ā€ to use a term is another large group from what I am reading. Apple is cranking out more Proā€™s and ProMaxā€™s by switching lines from 14 regulars. If that is case just like our opening day batches a lot of the UPS scans get missed until almost when phone arrives to us. So yeah being in Korea I assume you are already there given what you were told. Heck maybe the shipment batches are bigger than opening day waves 1 and 2 were for us. Will be interesting to see and we can get the pages up to 1000 to boot LOL

Good how do they not know by now how popular Pros are and make more right away? I see almost every regular 14 choice in every nearby store but ZERO Pro/PM. I sometimes see a regular Pro but it disappears again promptly. And not a single Max since the first few days. 10AM is when they update right?

Looking at the others here who now see Korea all have the same arrival time as yours 8:20 PM. Korea is 14 hours ahead of us timewise It shows on my world clock display. So it was roughly in Korea (arrival) around 6 am yesterday your time. Plenty of time to have gotten to Louisville and shipped out. It is strange worse the scan gaps are compared to opening day shipments group. Looking forward to seeing what happens

Well I khow they watch closely what is going on. it was article that I read saying they would shifting more lines to the Proā€™s so given what you see for lack in stores and the push back of dates on orders for pros vs regular 14ā€™s sure looks like the Pro line is the winner itā€™s year. I have never worked with apple store myself they are 100 miles away from me so not sure when stock is updated

I appreciate you looking this up! Wish this group was getting the same fanfare from last week. Most of them ordered the first day and simply got a bit delayed when ordering. Iā€™m hanging out for a bit to help you welcome your iPhones.

Try executing a hard reset by pressing Vol UP > Vol Down & Hold Power Button.
Yeah, I had tried that. That's what I was referring to when I mentioned "soft reset" lol. I thought a hard reset was a wipeā€”my bad. I'm going to post an update now, but I've got it working again. I had to do the reset while plugged into my Mac. I had tried doing the reset and plugging it into the Mac, but not doing them at the same time lol. Apple support came to the rescue.

Soo...My 14 pro max just shut off and is unresponsive. Won't power on, the battery was full, but I've got it on the charger to see if that will doing anything. Nothing so far.
Update: I've got it working again. I had to do soft/hard reset while plugged into my Mac. I had tried doing the reset and plugging it into the Mac, but not doing them at the same time lol. Apple support came to the rescue.

I asked the tech to run a diagnostic, just to see if anything came up hardware-wise. The results came back fine, so the tech speculated it had something to do with the last update not fully finalizing.

Well after a weekend with my Silver Pro Max, thinking about switching to Space Black. Love the near matte-white back but the bezel is very distracting. Have always gone with darker colors in the past (Midnight Green, Pacific Blue, Graphite) so this wasn't an issue. Wanted to switch it up this year, but I either go caseless or use the apple leather case, so it will always be visible.

Now to hope I can find one available in the next 2 weeks before my return window is up...

Found one! Not from Apple though, but my local Costco had them. So if you don't want to wait a month+ from Apple right now and were also planning on getting AppleCare+ (Costco only sells it bundled but with a $30 discount) this is an option. Unlocked Space Black only. Also available online it looks like.

NOW MyChoice wants to work to tell me my trade in kit is coming but didnā€™t when I was trying to track my phone with everyone else for the launch day deliveries, lol.

Hopefully that means itā€™ll work next year for the iPhone 15!

That stinks. Doesn't matter anyhow. I can't find any PM and a very rare regular Pro that disappears promptly. Wish there was a way to just open the search radius instead of having to put in different ZIPs in each direction.

Based on last week I think there will be a bunch of iPhones hitting the stores Friday that I would think would be on the planes currently delivering ordered iPhones. I just feel they would want to align this to the Ultra and AirPod Pro 2 release day. This is obviously pure speculation though. If I was waiting on an iPhone I would be waking up at 5am TH and F and checking the app for in store availability. Pure optimistic speculation.
