Just had a conversation with a guy at work. Apple fanboy. He was like they don't come from china. That's just ups lying. They have them in the USA in stock. Lol. He said, they come by boat, and then shipped out. Everyone isnt special to have theirs flown in from china. I didn't argue. Just laughed in my mind.

Probably never preordered before and he must have wait for the stock to show next day delivery 🤣

I just checked the status of my phone - and my phone is not yet in Ancorage or any where in the US - and UPS is estimating the delivery by End of the day (today) - so not sure - if its just my shipment, or others are seeing this too? View attachment 2097243View attachment 2097244
Well my device didn’t get scanned in Incheon not sure if this is a just a delay in batch processing of updates or if as it’s the same plane all the way through to Louisville they aren’t bothering to scan till it hits import clearence

This is not a total lie, mine came from Canada

I live in Mexico so we use a sim model (same model as Canada and Japan)

They were obviously built in china though but UPS never showed in came from there
 
My advise to you guys don’t trust the UPS statuses not even with the my choice account. I got mine with a status saying on the way “we’ll provide a date as soon as possible” it only drives you crazy

I just wanted to let people know who bought their iphones through the Military Veterans Apple.com webpage with a carrier contract that my carrier AT&T did manage to apply the discount on their end, something I never ever thought possible!!! WOWOW. It shows up as a promotional discount but rest assure the amount adds up!

Lucky!!! What model did you get and when was your original ship dates?
Ok so I ordered a purple 128 pro max on launch day right at 8 am. And a pro lol. I decided I wanted to keep the pro max so returned the pro. Then I decided I wanted to enter into the Iup program so I had to return the pro j max and reorder. I timed it well where I reordered on 9/20. I returned the pro max on 10/13 so only had to use my 11pro for a week or so. Lol.

Maybe they mean once backorders settle. I think they might start putting them in warehouses here then.
