I got my order in at 5:05 PDT and was hit with a shipment estimate of nov 3-10 a couple hours later. Earlier today i got an email saying it’s ready to ship and will be here on Oct 23. Though the tracking number says it’s coming from KY which is strange?

I really don’t understand how some of y’all got a scan in ive been checking all day nothing is showing up! Ugh I know I’m not the only one.
Same here. What’s even more frustrating is that my husband, who got in on the app after I was finished with my order (confirmation e-mail received at 5:04am PST), has a tracking number for his!:mad:

Just placed an order for a 12 Pro Graphite in 128. Sim Free. Delivery was mid November, but local store 10 minutes away has ready for pickup launch day. Which option do you think I picked ?

Nice to see plenty of inventory going to local stores this year
Probably not that stores get more inventory this year its probably more so that people aren't trying to get a free case of COVID with their iPhone and used delivery.

If you are seeing Wednesday and Tuesday, that is when the phone reaches the USA. Then it will be handed to the usa couriers who will ship out Thursday overnight to get it Friday. Tech reviewers will get theirs on Tuesday from apple themselves .

These aren't carrier orders these are orders directly from Apple. That is not the case. If it was being shipped to the carrier you wouldn't see the tracking for it.

I checked tracking on UPS. Entered my partial order number minus last two digits. I got a hit!!! Not mine though. Someone on the east coast.

mine still doesn’t show up.

If you order through carrier you would get tracking from the carrier you wont see the shipment from china to the carrier. If you ordered from Apple you get it shipped from Apple to you it doesn't go to a carrier first.

Good question. And with Covid19, UPS and FedEx have not even been ringing my doorbell.

Interesting times ahead...

I watch my ring camera like a hawk when I know I have a UPS delivery. This year I have the $40 UPS Premium membership free (thanks to T-Mobile Tuesday) until the end of the year so I’m going to pick a 2 hour window for my iPhone delivery.

Apple has been the safest stores I’ve visited since COVID. Been there a bunch of times, limited people allowed and socially distanced across the tables. No concerns at all.

Yeah but has nothing to do with Apple. There is defiantly going to be a large amount of people opting for delivery rather than going to a crowded store and possibly waiting in line this time around.

I actually like it. Different and maybe just a teeny bit edgy. The bottom being open doesn't bother me as Apple's iPhone 11 Pro case is also open and I never had a problem. Plus it doesn't cover the speakers.

I purchased an Apple silicon case for my 12 pro. Didn't like the clear on the website but I'm now rethinking that decision. Well, what else is new. These forums are evil?. Thanks kennyfte for posting.

No problem! I agree, I don’t mind the open bottom and I bought the clear one specifically because it shows the MagSafe magnet. Also, let’s be honest, this will be one of many cases in the rotation ?
