For the 347th time it’s not the same facility. One is the factory/ups one is the airport they are just both in the same city.
Everyone is basing this year off other years. This year we are seeing holiday shipping volume and it’s not the holidays. Im sure storing hundreds of thousands of phones to deliver them all in one day is out of reasonable right now.

Keeping 2 of the phones for myself for sure. That’s where I’m at right now. very indecisive this year 😂
My apologizes. Just now skimming back the last 10 or so pages. Hard to keep up-to-date with all of the comments. 😳

Haha it’s ok I didn’t mean that in a snappy way everyone just thinks their phone went out around the block and came back and it didn‘t. Just 2 places same city.
9to5 is reporting... interesting read...
Also, AppleInsiders is reporting as well too. Don’t expect them early! Guys we might be waiting till Friday. I hate to be the one to break the news. We got each other for 5 long days.
Apple starts shipping the iPhone 12 — but don't expect it to arrive early | AppleInsider
A number of Apple customers are discovering their iPhone 12 orders have started shipping, but while the delivery reports show orders are on their way, the deliveries themselves are unlikely to occur before Apple's release date of October 23.appleinsider.com
Apple begins shipping first iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro pre-orders ahead of Friday release - 9to5Mac
The first iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro pre-orders have started shipping out to early buyers. As usual, this doesn’t...9to5mac.com
While Wednesday would be nice, it will most likely be Friday. They need to start moving phones early to keep up for launch day.
I’d love to dream about getting the phone on Wednesday, but I’m skeptical that Apple has altered their release strategy due to Covid. The only thing that is certain is the majority of us will all know Wednesday when I predict we will still be waiting for our phones. Just like every other year.
I do have a theory on the delayed tracking. I wonder if the servers that handle all the scans in china don’t constantly update with the servers we are connected to being in the US.
Yeah but Apple is pretty respectful in terms of dealing with current events. So I also wouldn’t doubt if this change would help they would do it.

I didn’t get any apple watch fun. Mine just shipped overnight from California with fedex. Only thing exciting about the whole thing was fedex delivered it on time and in one piece.
It fails basic logic. There are too many packages so the solution is to deliver them faster? No. If anything packages would just be delayed. You're talking about companies that deliver packages all day every day. It's not your uncle trying to run some kind of courier side hustle when he's not working at the laundromat. The phones will arrive on Friday like planned and like every other year.
No one got their watch before the release date this year. Don’t make things up.
How’s that not basic logic? When UPS is operating at a higher capacity it makes sense to deliver them when they get here not hold them for days and then try to deliver them all in 1 day.

People actually did atleast 1 day prior. I’m 100% sure. I followed the thread 😂
There where less watch orders than phones and also only 3 days between order and delivery.
It’s not about delivering them faster it’s about not pilling them up and saving them for 1 day.
