Got my new Purple pm at around 12:30 today. It was most definitely the easiest fastest transfer with no complications I have ever had. So far I am very happy with the new phone. I had ordered a clear Spiegen cover that I placed on it before I even did the start up to keep fingers prints off of it. The disabling of the 13pm wasvery easy as well. Took picks of it before packing it up for proof it was in good condition. Packaged it up and will go take it tomorrow to UPS for trade in.
 
For those who haven’t had their phones shipped and charged yet, check your local Apple stores. I checked this morning and noticed a whole bunch of Apple stores around my area received a lot of stock of each color and size. I was able to snag the 14 PM 1TB in black and cancelled my online order.
 
I'm still waiting for inventory to come into the local Apple Stores. Looking to pick up a 14 Pro 256 in Space Black, but all that's available around me at 1TB. I don't check all that often, so I'm probably missing restocks, but I'll get one eventually. No rush.
 
Snagged a 14 Pro 256 Space Black from the local Apple Store. I chose a window to go pick it up. Does anyone know whether or not they give you a hard time if you come outside of your time slot? I scheduled it after work but I might have time to go earlier.

I showed up 45 minutes early to pickup an Apple Watch and they told me they it was ok but wold help me as soon as someone was free with no other commitment. It took about 10 minutes in my case. YMMV
 
I haven't read the entire 980+ pages of this thread but everyone seems to see their shipments go from ZhengZhou to Korea and then end up in Alaska. Mine went to Shanghai and then Japan. Has mine decided to go on world tour?

It's hardly a big deal since it will get here eventually. Just curious why my tracking info looks so much different compared to everyone else.
 
I am admittedly a bit frustrated with my order. UPS claims it shipped in September and I was charged the first installment payment on my Apple Card. However the phone has been in China for days now with no progress. Apple should start the installments upon delivery, not shipping.

I'll be in your boat soon, if you decide to message them about some sort of refund regarding that payment let me know, it's entirely reasonable to expect your payments to not start until you receive the device.

Becuase different flights have different routes. The phones launch in Korea on 10/7, so it could be things getting dropped off for the korean market.
I have heard in the past that Apple basically buys up all of the space on these planes, but I don't know if that is factual.

that is generally not how things work. If you order from just about anyplace on line, the charge happens when the product ships, not when it arrives.
 
Most things you buy online aren't sold on an installment plan nor ship from oversees where it takes 1 week+ to arrive.
You’re paying a set number of installments. What difference does it make. Paying one installment 5 days before you receive tbe phone?
There are legal issues that dictate this. When goods transfer title. Generally, it’s when the shipper has the goods or when it leaves the factory.
Another good example is furniture. Nearly all stores you pay up front or a portion of total at order.

Mine seems to have stalled in the same manner. I know they sometimes miss a scan but no movement for 5 days now seems strange.

Not yet. Still preparing to ship. I bet they are in the US or we should have seen something by now.
It does seem mighty strange that there isn’t already tracking info if they were coming all the way from China. So I suspect that you’re correct about them already being in the US.
 
Ordered my 14 pro max today through at&t. Oct 25- nov 1 estimated ship. Hopefully soonet that that. I couldn't deal with the battery on my 12 pro max any longer
