Has anyone received a tracking number from Apple yet?

It shows up in UPS MyChoice, but Apple still says Preparing for Shipment.

12 Pro Graphite 128GB

Last UPS scan was departure from Zhengzhou at 5:50 AM
u won’t till thursday even though we know it has shipped. on preorders they usually send a shipped email the day before

So I tried to speed up the flight 100x but it's not going any faster. Sorry guys, it was worth a shot.

Exactly! Don't pick up in the store

I’m not anymore . If this was 3 years ago, I would’ve purchased both phones but I scaled back for the last 2 years, so one phone a year and 1 Apple Watch every 2 years. I’m more excited about the 12 Pro Max than the S6, so I didn’t upgrade my S4.

I won’t say we’re getting them early, but this is definitely faster than past experiences...
About right on time to be delivered Friday. By the time the plane hits Alaska and gets scanned in then to Louisville by Wednesday. From Louisville Wednesday out to the destination city hubs on Thursday. Out for delivery Friday morning. Pretty much clockwork every year.

Hi everyone, new to the forum but been lurking for around a week. I'm so glad I'm not the only person who religiously tracks my product shipments every 3 seconds ?, so I'm excited to finally speak with you all! :)

Pre-ordered a 12 Pro 256GB Pacific Blue Sim-Free within 1 minute of pre-orders opening, and I also have the 11:27pm depart / 11:57pm arrival. Really excited to be a part of this party and track planes with all of you (if you'll have me ?).
Welcome aboard. Enjoy your "flight" ;)

Most international flights eastbound won't fly a circle route for efficiency (no headwind). If winds are favorable, the aircraft has plenty of tailwind to push it along.
Prevailing winds are west to east, as is jet stream. Computer flight plans determine the best route today. The app shows a great circle route but the jet is flying airways that aren’t perfect circle. But the route normally is pretty close to what the app shows.
