ITS HERE!! I backed up my 6S this morning before I left on my MacBook at home but now its updating the backup on iCloud and is taking like 30 minutes. Which means I can't play with my new 8 till its done. Wireless charging is working great though so far. I got an Anker charger off of Amazon and just sat the phone on it and it worked like a charm. Now just need my cases to come in next week!

Wireless charging is so weird in a cool way. It’s odd to set it down and hear the charging beep. It’s good that it does that or else you’d probably have no idea it was charging. Lol

We bought the Samsung fast charging wireless chargers.
 
How long did all of your "Preparing to Ship" take to change to "Your Order has Shipped?" I figured since they got the boatload out the door, those of us with 9/26 would be close to follow! :)
 
I think so too. If I were going to order a X, it’d be silver. The space gray will show smudges and marks like the jet black did. It shouldn’t scratch as badly but it will cause anyone to develop OCD over the smudges.
I'm thoroughly impressed with the entire color scheme of this release. I think they all look damn sharp. I went with space gray just for a change from my sliver 6, and the smudge factor is almost zero for me because of the OtterBox case.

What kind of charger is this? Can you send the link.

Mine and others changed yesterday in the morning/afternoon when it arrived at Louisville for UPS. So possibly it'll change for you on Saturday or Sunday!
 

That’s the one only in white. We also bought two of these: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Certified-Charge-Wireless-Charging/dp/B012AWBP9U

I’m taking one to work and then we each have one at home on our nightstand.

If you’re impatient, Best Buy will pricematch Amazon and those are shipped and sold by Amazon so they qualify.

Not saying they’re the only ones you should get but Samsung has a good reputation and they’re a known commodity in technology so I went that direction.

I’m keeping my SE until it is dead.

Apparently Apple is not letting UPS use access points for deliveries. My phone is stuck in UPS limbo hell. I just requested that they send it back to Apple.

According to the UPS app my phone is on its way to an access point. Are you saying it’s not going to get there?

Was able to schedule mine to be picked up at the local UPS facility that’s right by my office! Picked it up right at 7:30!
 
Looks like I'm out of luck this time, ETA 9/22 but both tracking numbers said

LOCATION DATE LOCAL TIME ACTIVITY
09/22/2017 8:26 A.M. The package is awaiting clearing agency review. / Your package was released by the clearing agency.
Louisville, KY, United States 09/22/2017 3:33 A.M. Import Scan.

Hopefully they will arrive at my local UPS facility before 3pm
 
Wow, not bad! Well, now I know I should do store pickup in the future especially when theres an Apple store a few miles from me at the mall. I saw the long long line last year on launch day, figured I rather skip the potential crowds. I've already seen 3 UPS trucks drive by and...eh. I usually get deliveries around 2, 3pm
I'm assuming your talking bout willow grove? That's where I got them. I live it Philly to bud.

Oh God, don't tell me that. I had this issue with my iPhone 6+ and that was 5 days after the launch day, I had to call these nimrods. Also wanted to speak them to remove the goofy jacked up activation fee..since I WAS the one trying to activate it! They finally gave in after making numerous calls.

MAYBE it's because so many are trying to activate at once? Eh!
Mine failed the first time but went right through about 3 mins later. Restoring from backup now.
