Other Apple.com iPhone 12/Pro/Max/Mini Pre-Order/Order Status/Delivery Thread (2020) [Merged]

Seth Matthews said:
I am hoping someone can help me out. I ordered my iPhone from Apple and paid outright sim free. Because my company is paying for it this year and I used my company CC, it is being shipped to my business. MyChoice appears to only be for home deliveries. Is there a way I can find my tracking number another way?

Try tracking by reference number on ups.com and put on the billing phone number and/or your order number

OFF TOPIC:
I see a lot of people have order cases but believe me, I've been using iPhone XS Max without cover for 2 years and there's no dent or full of scratches. There's a very tiny little scratch on the right corner of my iPhone. That's because I've dropped iPhone like 3-4 times in last 2 years. It's very well built and the whole experience of top quality materials is without buying a cheap case.

I also used my XS Max without a case and loved it. I even dropped it a number of times with no damage. Then one day I was outdoors and it slipped out of a pocket when I sat down, it hit the stone patio, and for the last few months I’ve been using it with a large crack in the screen which has basically made it worthless. (No AppleCare). Can’t wait until Friday when I will replace it with my new 12 Pro. Entirely my own fault of course, but this new phone reminds me so much of my beloved 4s which was perfect without a case that I know I will be tempted to go without at some point.

I woke up this morning and my iPhone 11 Pro Max’s screen started to separate from the casing. Never dropped my phone either. So looks like I need to get a replacement before I trade it in. The Arizona heat doesn’t help either.

That should still be under warranty, no?
 
The thing people don’t understand is that the entire UPS plane is iPhones. All of them willl arrive in Anchorage, and then move onto Louisville (and Ontario, California for the west coast). When they get to Louisville, they sit there as a gigantic shipment of iPhones. And then they sit there some more. Your two hour delivery windows aren’t going to do anything for you on Wednesday when your phone is still sitting in Louisville on Wednesday morning, other than maybe generating an email to you about a delay.

Does anyone know if a signature will be required with UPS? I don’t see mention of it anywhere in my tracking details but would like to confirm so I know if need to be home when it gets delivered.

I believe it is at the discretion of the delivery person, if they think you have a safe place for them to leave your package, they don't require someone to answer their knock on the door.

Even if you don't put your phone in a case, a good quality screen protector like those from Zagg should be on every iPhone buyers list. I've had a Zagg glass on every iPhone I've ever owned since the 4, and I've never had to replace a single screen. Every year Apple says this new model has the strongest screen yet, blah blah blah, and every year the cost of screen replacement goes up. With discount on the website the top of the line InvisiShield protector from Zagg runs 35 bucks, and replacements are free through mail as long as you return the broken original. If you're not comfortable changing the protector yourself most malls have a Zagg kiosk where they'll do it for you for 10 bucks.
Honestly this should be a no brainer on a thousand dollar piece of hardware you take everywhere with you.

I am doing in store pick-up too since I live close to one. What is your status? mine is still saying processing

Same here. Someone told me previously that their experience was that it won’t do anything until late Thursday or early Friday morning when it will say it’s available for pick up.

I'm doing in-store, they charged my CC last night.
 
You guys think YouTubers like iJustine will be getting iPhone 12’s to review and test out? I always enjoyed watching those but so far no videos

Dieter Bohn over at The Verge usually has a review out a day or two before the new model launches. I expect to see review videos Wednesday or Thursday if tradition holds.
I trust his reviews a lot more than paid influencer shills like Justine, which is the category most YouTubers fall into.
 
So the last time I did this was 2017, I'm sure a lot has changed since then. I ordered iPhone 12 pro Pacific Blue 128gb, used Apple Card method, received apple processing email at 7:01AM. Says 10/23 delivery, but how do I find tracking # for UPS?

Had that happen with my X a month before the 11’s came out. Was due to the battery swelling. Apple replaced the whole 2-yr old phone. I had AC+ but they said it would have only cost $49 without it.

Absolutely, I did have a Zagg screen protector on it. I think that’s the reason I have just the one big crack instead of a multitude of cracks. My Zagg for the 12 Pro is arriving tomorrow.
 
My case has shipped via FedEx. So far no movement from the others. On the bright side, cancelled AC+ for my 11 Pro and got a $98 Apple store gift card to use.
