I’ve had zero interest in all these wireless chargers and am dreading the day that’s the only option. I’m going to keep on using all the lightning chargers I already have.

Yeah, I agree. I was going to buy one at first but I have so many lightning cables so I won’t. I have a gift card I can use on the apple store but will probably use it towards watch bands or cases instead.
 
really wish mine had some type of window. says by end of day 9pm. i leave at 3 for a business trip over the weekend and wont be back until next wednesday.
 
Not sure, I’m going to do it on the website when it’s available

Like with "UPS My Choice"? Ugh I hope the Express Delivery will be through UPS... or FedEx. I may have to have them hold my package since I won't be home unless it arrives on 11/02/20.

I feel your pain. Good luck. Is it through UPS?

That happened with me and my MagSafe case. It said delivery was 10/21/20 - then it was set to arrive on 10/19/20 by 9 p.m. and it never arrived that day. Got it yesterday.
 
I’m looking at my ups tracking and it says delivery date Friday Oct 23 and next to it I see and exclamation point in a triangle with words ,EXCEPTION. But it did say I was supposed to revive it today. But that’s not APPLES mo.

Yep on My Choice. So far it’s only letting me change delivery option or change the date but not set a delivery timeframe yet.

Good luck setting it.

I'll need the same when my time comes. In 2 long weeks. 🙃

Hope it works out for you! (Also I love your avatar)
 
Anyone here in the "I got screwed over by the website gang and just hoping I get an earlier quoted time than November crew?"
I find it very interesting how apple says they have everything to complete my order yet they refuse to prepare it to ship. As a first time iphone customer this whole waiting game has been incredibly unsatisfying. All my other apple items I received 4-7 days ahead of schedule. I am just hoping this doesn't drag out into November because I really wanted to capture the fall colors with my new phone.
I’m in that group. I watched my date slip from 10/23 to 11/3 while trying to check out. It wouldn’t have been quite as painful if the website hadn’t been showing me the date changes on screen.

You know what's pain? Not realizing I could have done in store pick up on release date if California didn't suck and was shut down. It was too late by the time I realized I could have gone to another nearby local store. I called to see if I could change it and of course I couldn't and by the time I got a rep all of the instore picks ups were DONE.

I feel you.
 
Again more I read it more I think I’m gonna turn off 5G for better battery. I don’t find 4G slow to begin with.
 
So guys i preordered and got an arrival date for this friday but the Apple order status page is stuck on "preparing to ship". Is this normal?

edit: i found out the way to track by ref on UPS lol. It's looking good.

I think someone here mentioned you should see this change tomorrow. Don't sweat it. You should get it on the delivery date. Good luck though!

A few minutes ago, I got a notification from Apple that my order had shipped, I got excited and realized it was my charging block for my MagSafe charger.... 🙄😂
I did that recently for the box to return my Watch 6 trade in. :oops:

Thank you! it’s funny cause UPS drives by my house super early when I’m not expecting anything and knowing how it’s going to be volume wise for them on Friday I may be getting my phone at 9 pm

I’m holding off on MagSafe. It would go by my bedside, and my slow wireless charging pad gets it done overnight. I’ve got cables everywhere else.

Maybe if I get a gift card.
I was so glad to get MagSafe, I have a mophie witless charger that was like $30 from BestBuy and it takes multiple times to get the phone to charge and yes I am centering the phone, so annoying.

I’m in the same boat as you. I see it in stock and want to go get it. But in reality I don’t need it. I already have a 10w Anker wireless dock. If the MagSafe was a dock, I would be all over it, but it being a flat puck really isn’t great for my usage. So I’m passing on it based on the fact that I really won’t use it much.
Same! My phone is on a wireless charger all day at work so I can only see myself using it in bed while I wind down.
