It potentially can be pushed back if you change the delivery location to a UPS store or access point, unless that UPS store is on your driver’s route.

Awww man, I’m especially living vicariously through the Chicago buyers! I live 20 minutes from ORD. My office was near the airport hub, so the day before launch, I’d drive past the airport hub on my way home and watch all the UPS trucks leaving wondering which one had my iPhone. Sigh...
So I know there were some who wondered how the next iPhone upgrade will work since these phones came out in October vs September. I just received an email from Apple saying that my next upgrade is 9/18/21 so looks like that answers the question! We will be able to upgrade next September (provided the phones are back to normal scheduling) without needing to worry about payment schedules conflicting.
One time I was delivering a USPS package to a house at the same time that Amazon and FedEx was delivering at. The owner was so embarrassed seeing all 3 of us waiting for the other to finish their delivery before stepping on her porch steps. It happens quite often with those who tend to order online a lot.
I’m in NorCal. I think the airport for NorCal iPhones would be Oakland.
I think Ontario, CA might be for SoCal.
Woke up to see my phone has officially "shipped" haha, and my UPS import scan popped in a few hours ago.
To be honest, I figured it took a truck or a train up to NorCal. I've had next day packages ship from NorCal and they came down via truck overnight. But you're probably right.
Got an import scan at 11:09 EST!
Since I actually have another Next Day Air item arriving tomorrow I wonder if that means my phone will tag along and arrive before the usual 4-7pm...

I think I may have found the flight for iPhones being delivered in the Bay Area. It’s leaving in 3 hours!
Like many others mine arrived in Louisville. Looks like the 5:28pm UPS flight to Boston is what’s next!
That happened to me a few years back. I had an overnight item coming the same day as my iPhone and UPS delivered them both really early in the day, instead of late afternoon. I wish that I had something else coming tomorrow from UPS!
Possible, but not guaranteed. Depending on your location and volume, another driver may be dispatched to handle the time-definite deliveries.
SoCal might be broken up even smaller. My watch went from KY straight to San Diego for delivery.
I'm in San Diego. A week ago, my AW6 came came from Louisville on a UPS flight directly to SAN. I imagine it will be the same for my iPhone delivery tomorrow.
Can you even pick up from Ontario? I think it needs to go to a local CC Hub first. I tried picking something up from Ontario years and years ago and they said I couldn't. I keep requesting for a hold at my local CC but the request never goes through.
