Still wondering if we’re getting our phone delivered on Wednesday!

The only thing worse than your phone sitting in China 4 days before it delivers is it sitting in Louisville for 3 days before shipping out to your local hub on Thursday evening!

Question to those who experienced the preorder in previous years;

Has there ever been a release year where people had earlier delivery estimation by UPS ? (As in this year’s)

It actually isn’t that unusually early. Phones were hitting Anchorage on Tuesday last year too: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-delivery-status-thread.2195752/post-27755328

yes and i have never had one actually delivered prior to launch. on wednesday it will probably say exception, held at shipper’s request.

After having a rough past few days recovering from a heart procedure, this preorder excitement is a great escape.

Hope you recover quickly And feel great.

Was it showing earlier delivery estimates at UPS tracking, just like this year?

I wish today was 11/2/2020. lol

Hmmmm this is MUCH earlier than prior years. Last year, my phone was apparently in Louisville the morning of launch day. I still received it on time, but this is much, much earlier. I feel like people get so offended at the mere thought of an early delivery. I never said it was gonna happen, just that given what I’ve seen so far, combined with 2020, I *would not be surprised*. I am not sure why some people take that as a personal insult and have to remind me of the UPS and Apple agreement that they have never actually read lol I have been doing the whole preorder/tracking thing since the iPhone 4.

I’ve been tracking these launch days from the beginning as well. I did receive my 4 a day early by some fluke so it is possible. Every year it’s the same thing and every year people think we’re getting them early. I’m not personally insulted at all I’m just stating the reality. I sure hope they come early! I’d love to get mine a day or 2 early just doesn’t look like it.

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if Apple / anyone did a documentary film on the launch day timeline of an iphone, ...filmed on an iphone! Informative and marketing...
Being made in the factory, put into packaging, put onto truck to deliver to courier hub, onto plane, flight, customs, arrival, etc.....
Do 3 different stories to different parts in the world, and delivery to Apple store, home and business....
I'd watch that...

I definitely would watch that!
