My UPS account is showing an exception now. Waiting for a charter plane. Last year I think my phone flew on Kalita air.

The planes stop in Alaska for fuel AND customs. They can take more cargo by stopping halfway for more fuel.

Shouldn't the flight show up on flightaware? Is it going from zhengzou straight to anchorage? I thought it usually goes to korea or japan or another area in china then to alaska.
 
Ordered a leather case from Amazon that just got here. Actually very impressed with it. I usually buy the Apple leather cases and this honestly feels as good as that.

I have that exact case in that same color arriving tomorrow. I'm waiting to order an Apple leather case and duo charger.

I always am nervous about naked iPhones, so usually get a 3rd party case from Amazon. That way I can pop the phone into the case directly from the shipping box.

And, yes, I realize that it's absolutely ridiculous to obsess over the color, when it's going to be mostly hidden by the case anyway. But then I *know* there's a gorgeous color underneath. :) And this year that hidden color will be Pacific Blue.
 
Anyone in the UK got tracking yet? Preparing to ship since yesterday. Not sure who’s delivering it here either? Had UPS, DHL, UK mail delivery apple products before
 
Anyone else get this by Tracking by reference? Mine popped this up

Any recommendations for a decent car mount for the iPhone? The one I have now (bought from a gas station in Yosemite) keeps slipping out of the vent. Luckily my iPhone 7 is a horse and it hasn't affected it that much. But I want a better quality one for the 12 pro.


Really waiting for Belkin's MagSafe mount but looking for a decent/sturdy one in the meanwhile.

I think you’re going to like it! I love the leather patina that forms from these kind of cases!
 
Did you get tracking updates? Mine shows for delivery today but no tracking other than label created.
yes. but same issue like yours with my clear case. just created. both were shipped at same day. called fedex they told me they never got package from apple. called apple they told me that it was lost or stolen. opened case for investigation and will issue me a refund

Ordered a 256GB iPhone 12 Pro in graphite and it's in Elizabeth, NJ already. This morning it said delivery of 10/23, but that's when it was in West Chester, PA. I live in NYC and something seems fishy this year. All other years I received a confirmation of shipment either the Tuesday or Wednesday before the Friday delivery. This is VERY early compared to most. Either way if it's delivered next Friday I'm happy, but this is WAY earlier than normal.

My label for my case was created yesterday, but UPS hasn’t received it either. Should I give Apple a call?
 
Just got tracking information using track by reference but for some reason can only see last 4 digits of tracking number and it says in transit scheduled delivery for Wednesday 10-21
 
Sign into your account & it’ll give you the full number or create a account, it due the sand to me & I know it’s my phone , my case & accessories are coming fed-ex & I have tracking.. even my ups app says 10/21 delivery date. From China , same weight as a phone.. fingers crossed it slips through the cracks for a early delivery

West Chester is UPS' air hub in Philadelphia. Elizabeth may be a truck distribution center. The delivery gets real when it gets to your local Customer Center (depot).
 
Why oh why didn't I convince myself to order at launch? Then I wouldn't be waiting on Nov 9-16 delivery.

But I was sure that there wouldn't be a SIM Free option at launch. So put it out of mind until Friday after work. Then had to decide on whether to do trade in or not.
