Is there anyone that is on the upgrade program that has already found a tracking number? I ordered at 12:02 and still can't find tracking on UPS or FedEx. Plane tracking is one of my favorite things about preorder season and I hope they aren't packaging the return boxes with the phones stateside.
Yup - the majority, if not all of the ones we have seen so far, are already in the US and shipping from Apple distro centers.
 
I would think that for those who did the iUP upgrade and having it delivered, may need an extra package because Apple would have to include the box for the trade in.

I’m in the same boat ordered a plain Jane silver 64gb plus at 12:02 on the Apple iphone upgrade. Was preapproved etc and still nothing in mychoice. I keep putting my phone number in but t only shows different orders
 
Same tracking info for me.
I was tracking that UPS flight from China to Alaska, and it landed last night. My guess is either it sat all night and was scanned this morning, or that is actually the departing Alaska scan. Maybe the next scan will tell more of the story.

I'm such a weirdo.

Curious, somewhat related to thread, when we get it in the mail is it easy to activate and swap out?I’m on TMobile and not changing anything other than phones.

I wonder if this is why mine has Sept 26 - Oct 1 for the delivery date. I did the iUP upgrade.

So you think that UPS just got it mixed up at it already is out of China? Sounds like I’m impatiently waiting....which I am ....but it’s also fun to track lol. Like everyone else, im sure pretty much all of us that have 9-22 delivery dates will get our shiny new phones on Friday. (4 days, but who’s counting)
 
For those that already has their phone "shipped", how long did it take for it to go from "preparing to ship" to it actually being shipped? Just wondering cuz it's been 2 days for me and nothing, no change. According to Apple, I'm scheduled for Friday delivery

I found my tracking info from my phone # Sunday morning I believe. Ordered around 10am Friday. On Apple my order still says “preparing to ship” though.

I think most of them still says "Preparing to Ship" even though they have tracking. It's just that some where able to find tracking way before Apple marks it "shipped"

Before Apple got rid of the support profile page, it used to be that when your order was at "Preparing to ship" stage, you could find the serial number from the support profile page but Apple changed that and usually after you activate your phone and log into Apple ID will then appear. Used to be fun then finding out when your phone was made.

Mine shipped, but it still shows "Preparing for shipment" on Apples site. I got my tracking number from UPS My Choice.

Just got my shipping info via ups my choice. Coming from Harrisburg pa.

Now if only I could figure out what is coming from FedEx that ways the same weight...
 
2 phones??!:D

I really don't know. Only other thing I have coming eventually at some point is a promotion I received from a firearms purchase a few months ago. Which is probably what it is, but I've collected a promotion from the same company before and tracking never showed up so I really have no idea
 
Just looked at my order, it's preparing to ship. I placed my order yesterday 256gb Verizon.

Why is this thread not Sticky with the other Pre-order threads?
 
Ordered a 8 Plus Silver 64gig on Verizon website today 9/18. Delivery date 9/29.

Didn't think the X was worth 1K.

Current device 7 Plus Black 128gig.
 
No. What time did you pre-order? I think I read somewhere 10 am? But that has nothing to do with the delivery date. Is your still Order in Progress?

Yeah still in progress. Ah thought it had to do with delivery date. :) I'm happy. Yes around 10:00 am Friday. Iup. Thanks for the info.
