Ah would have been nice but 10/23 was promised so that is expected. I've pre-ordered every single iPhone after owning my first one in 2007.

In that timeframe I have only had one pre-order come in a day early. That was the iPhone 4. Release date June 24, 2010 and I remember the FedEx man dropping it off at my office on Thursday, June 23rd and I was like no way.

Good times. :)
Those summer release days! Fond memories. The days before pre-orders and shipping options :)
 
Bah, mine just switched to 10/23.

My thumb got into a fight with a knife tonight while cooking dinner and lost, so now I’ve got 4 stitches in it, and typing one handed on my 11 Pro Max is really difficult. Was hoping my 12 Pro would come tomorrow as the easier size will be easier to type on one handed. Guess I’ll be fumbling around for a couple days.

I’m sure you know this already but shift the keyboard to the typing hand side. (Hold the emoji icon and keyboard settings pull up. There are icons to shift the keyboard left or right)

I ordered as soon as the site opened at 7am central on Friday. Figured I'd try Apple for my 30 month plan. Got all the way to the end and forgot I froze my credit reports.... order was auto canceled. Sad day. Went back through, choosing an ATT plan and got a 10/30 delivery date.

So my question....anyone with a 10/30 delivery seen any movement? I know I am early but thought I would see just in case someone has any signs of hope for me that they'll beat that date.
I’m 28th-30th and no movement at all...still in processing. 😭😩😡
 
mine was last scanned in ZhengZhou, 10/19 6:40pm and my delivery is still 10/23. still getting nervous like the rest of you guys though!

hey, I am in the same 10/19 6:40pm bunch. I did a little math and looked at how long other folks phones were sitting in zhengzhou before movement. We still have a few hours before any cause for concern. I am speculating that by the time I wake up there will have been some movement.

Is there a way to add the package to My Choice, it doesn't show up under that section on the site. However I can pull up my order and have been viewing it under my "recently tracked" section. UPS hates me.
 
Exactly!!! I watch the UPS truck spend a few hours within 1 mile of my house only to watch it leave the area and come back to my house 3-4 hours later. It doesn’t seem like the most efficient route to me.

UPS' ORION (On-Road Integrated Optimization and Navigation) platform uses advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence and machine learning. It includes detailed turn-by-turn directions to guide drivers, not just to addresses, but to specific package drop-off and pickup locations like loading docks that are not visible from the street.

It saves UPS about 100 million miles and 10 million gallons of fuel per year. The latest generation also recalculates individual package delivery routes throughout the day as traffic conditions, pickup commitments and delivery orders change.

My guess is that it is very efficient.

thanks for sharing! I also anticipate waking up and seeing something by morning if they're truly going to show up on Friday. nice to know I have some friends along for the ride!
