Mine got caught up in the ZhengZhou loop. Departed ZhengZhou at 8:01pm yesterday only to arrive at ZhengZhou at 8:30pm. Guess it was a drive around the tarmac.

Same. Sounds like ours are in the same group. Went around the loop, and then sat all day waiting for clearance.

Mines going odd stuff now..... I’m so annoyed. I really need the phone to be dropped off before the 6th.

That’s awesome! So you have your phone already? Congrats! I should get mine tomorrow.

Mine was promised between 17-24 orange finally - came Wed 11-15.. after having slipped later to 11/17 arrival on ATT app for a 2 day period (11/13-11/14).

Had mine for almost 2 weeks now. Just long enough to be bored and wondering why I was losing my mind waiting!! Lol. But you’re in for a great couple of weeks, at least, when you get yours. Great phone!

So I can hear the UPS folks in China now.....”Want to see Apple fanboys freak out? We just scan a shipping crate of iPhones as departing, drive it around the airport, and then scan it as arriving! Those fools will go from excited to bummed in 30 minutes flat! Hahahahaaaaaaaaaa.”

Ordered 2 X 256GB on nov 25... today charged my CC and delivery next week... but ordered another on Nov 23 64GB and no charged yet... is normal that?
 
I have received the update, my phone has shipped. This was ordered on the 25th, and shipped today the 27th. Expected delivery to my address is early next week.
 
SG 64GB, in my opinion there is no reason to get anymore. I never use even half the space as I store images and videos on my laptop and it auto synchronizes with my iPhone (MBP). Additionally, cloud space is extremely low cost and I have my own web space :)

Yep.. never understood the fetish with 128 GB ans 256 GB. Everything fits easily in the cloud and I have an unlimited data plan so I can stream anything of my 5000 song music library… Even on the highest frame rate setting for videos I can still store scores of hi Rez videos on 64GB. Have no idea what I’d store in all that xtra space. I even have over 5000 photos and still can’t get past 38 gig.

I called back to UPS international, cause of this odd message and was told that 1,000s of Apple products are being held by Chia customs and UPS is waiting for them, she agreed it was odd that it would take this long for a Apple product, but doesn’t know why cause it’s a government thing.

She said one it does clear it should only take 48hrs to get to me.

So here’s hoping!

Mine is in Clearance for the second time, so that makes a little sense. Hopefully it doesn’t take too long.

Anyone had their delivery rescheduled to the 4th?

Is that later than UPS’s delivery date from a day or two ago? That happened to a lot of us. Mine said 11/15 for quite a while in the UPS My Choice app. Then on Monday the 13th it changed to new date 11/17.. Was bummed. But then I saw it leave ZhengZhou that night and by the end of the 14th the delivery date had changed back to 11/15.

So don’t be too concerned. UPS is just covering their a$$ for if they need a couple more days.

Ah, ok. Yesterday it showed that it would be delivered on Friday. This morning it shows Monday, but if it’s going to change again that’s a good thing. I think once it leaves China then it’s going to be clear when it’ll arrive.

Amusing but I am sure they wouldn’t do this for the fear of being whipped and having their shackles tightened.

My sentiments exactly. Had the phone a couple weeks now, I regret the brain cycles I wasted following my phone order. And also, yeah, sorta bored with the phone already but the camera is absolutely amazing. I took pics with it and viewed them on my hug and iPad pro and the quality is incredible. Amazing family portrait photos.

Having said this, I want excitement. I’m considering getting an Apple Watch now but I still have not found a compelling use case FOR ME for getting one......
 
I am quite happy. I ordered this iphone X October 31st and in one day (yesterday) it went from being in ZhengZhou to being delivered to the hub in Louisville, KY. It is already on its way to me by the end of the day according to what the tracking says. I have never been this excited since I was a child. I have never gotten bored with my iphone se, I cannot see me getting bored with this iphone X!

I’ve loved all my iPhones too.. I guess what I’m bored with is iOS itself which hasn’t had much upgrading in many years. I’m used to being jailbroken too. And we have no iOS 11 JB available at this point. Plain stock iOS is so yuck to me.. Being JB I can place my app icons anywhere I want.. however many per row I want.. and I can theme all the icons and use animated weather in my background.. this X totally needs a jail break!!

Yes - those clouds move randomly across the sky background. Once you've tasted jailbroken life - all Stock iOS'es are boring.
