I am wondering if those of us still in ZhengZhou (11:57 pm scan) are/were supposed to be on UPS 93 which was scheduled to depart SZX early this morning but hasn’t left yet. Mechanical issue?
I know nothing about logistics and how apple does what it does with product releases, but it is interesting that when the AW6 shipped it went to Shanghai first and flew from there. Maybe they are shipping straight from ZhengZhou to save time since there are obviously going to be many more phones to ship than watches, but I still think it's interesting. Isn't it at least possible that some of the phones went to Shanghai first? There are only maybe what 100 or so people posting here, so it's not really even representative of where things are shipping as a whole.

It doesn't matter in the end, but I find it fascinating how they can move so much product through a single airport the way they do.

*edit to add closing thoughts.

Same here. Just received a MyChoice email saying it would be delivered tomorrow as well. Still don't quite believe it.
I'm on the AK-KY route right now and haven't received the email yet. I just now received emails for 2 accessories arriving tomorrow, but not for the phone yet. Though MyChoice still shows 10/21.

I, too, got a UPS MyChoice email saying it is arriving tomorrow, but I still find it hard to believe. That UPS hold in depot can be put on there at any minute, lol.

Just got the "Package Scheduled for Delivery Tomorrow" email from UPS. But I wholeheartedly expect it to update and "delay" till Friday.

Yes everyone. It’s not going to show shipped until the night before.

Well, obviously...

Maybe I should've been more specific and asked how you all are tracking these planes? I tried the UPS reference number and it isn't showing the complete tracking number. Do you have to be a UPS MyChoice member in order to see the movement? I know this has been asked previously, but don't feel like combing through 220 pages for the answer right now. Thanks.

MyChoice is the easiest way.
 
I got plum with Pacific blue. Color of case looks accurate compared to online pictures

Me too. I just received my case and it's pretty. I think it's a nice color combination, especially for the upcoming holiday season because if the light hits the pacific blue just right, it looks like there's a greenish tint and that will pair nicely with the plum color.

Good to know. Thanks for the clarification.
 
Based on how things are going right now, Couriers don't have the luxury of holding anything for anyone. They have to empty their warehouses and trucks because people are doing everything as deliveries. I will see how this will play out today and tomorrow.. I don't know if apple has this much power in this pandemic.

Apple will take precedent over nearly every other company they deliver for. I expect holds but it would be a nice surprise if we got some phones early!

That’s been my opinion on the early delivery possibility. Very hard to hold all this volume for delivery on 1 day.

I think Wednesday is still a possibility for delivery... I see that the CAO1007 lands in 5 minutes. Then it's going to chicago... I live in chicago suburbs... and my UPS says NEXT DAY AIR
fingers crossed
 
I ordered through Sprint app and got a shipping notification via UPS for a package that weighs 15.00 lbs. could this be the iPhone? This is the only info I have at this time.
 
This is the one thing that makes me sad, but if I have to have them id rather on the side then the entire back of the phone like the 12.

My midnight green pro Max is a smudge fest on the band, but I don’t seethe smudges unless the light is just right. I’m hoping it’ll be the same for the Pacific Blue. I returned the silver 11 Pro Max last year because that bright stainless band looked horrible as soon as I touched it.
