I have been lucky not to break my iPhone for sure but I can tell you by posting the photo of my iPhone XS Max used without cover or screen protector for 2 years. YouTube will have lots of videos of broken screen and glass because nobody will upload video of how iPhone looks without cover :p

It will of course break if not used
I love how the iPhone feels without a case (I have a XS Max currently) but always get this nervous fear when I try to keep it naked. It’s probably a programmed fear. You may have given me the courage to go for it with my 12 Pro!

Woke up and I’m still in China, so no phone today and zero surprise. Always knew they weren’t making it today. But the bigger concern is I paid for a delivery window and that is gone as well. Rep from UPS told me that they can’t set them and now I have to wait and see if the option appears again. If it doesn’t only option is talk to billing and try and get a refund.

I know the phone won’t be delivered early but woke up to the text from UPS MyChoice telling me it’ll be here tomorrow still was a shock! I’m part of the 8:34 Anchorage batch that’s floating around somewhere.

Me too, the amount of time between 8:34 PM and now our phones could literally be anywhere! In the next couple of hours, we could see them at our local UPS CC or an import scan in KY. Honestly, they could be dropped from Amazon drones!
 
As expected, iPhone is not coming today, which is perfectly fine by me. Gives me something to look forward to on Friday (apart from the weekend!). My overnight packages usually do the quick Louisville - East Boston flight at 12-2 am before being driven to the local UPS center. I don't imagine that will happen until Thursday night.

I agree.. Expect my package Friday evening.. UPS I know the driver he makes last stop by me...
 
Anyone know if we need to be home to sign for the phone’s to be left?
Mine is coming from UPS.
Normally we do but with Covid I thought they would just deliver them without signatures.

My order has said contactless delivery, so it seems that no signature is required this year. Come to think of it, we get tons of UPS shipments every week at work and I haven't had to sign for something since February.

I got my invoice email this morning for my Canadian order, which included a ship date of today and the shipping origin as Elk Grove California.

Mine also. I’m just hoping it goes as planned. 🤞🏼
 
Yes, mine should be on the next plane out to AK in about 2 hours.

Pretty sure yours and mine are already in KY. UPS tracking system for customers have been acting weird for the last few months. UPS has an internal tracking system which is the one that shows all the scams and packages progress. For example, today I have a package coming from REP Fitness in Denver, Colorado which got Origin Scam on Monday Oct 19th then nothing showed up on UPS tracking system until this morning when reached final destination and it's now Out For Delivery. Same thing is happening with our iPhones.

My Deliveries app, and the UPS Website are now both saying Friday (as expected (though last night there was some conflict with the deliveries app between 2 devices and the UPS website all listing something different). The UPS app is still listing today for some reason. Apple's website says it is still being prepared for shipment.

The change in delivery date usually auto-cancels the confirmed delivery window and you won’t be charged.
