Mine showed leaving a city that is about three hours away headed to my UPS CC at 4:00 AM this morning. MY CC doesn't open until 8:30. So, after arriving, I will probably have to wait wile they unload the truck.
 
Has anyone in the DC area seen any recent movement? My phone apparently departed from Louisville last night at 6:24pm and no updates after that. I'm a little worried.
None. Mine was in the 4:10pm from Louisville, nada after that.

I’m in Maryland just outside of DC and I see the same thing. I’m kinda nervous now that it’s almost 7AM and it’s not at the local distribution center. My hope is that there are just so many they didn’t scan them and then all of a sudden we’ll get an out for delivery soon.

Seeing some other people’s delayed for a late truck stinks and I hope I’m not in that same truck.
 
Apple always surprises me; my iPhone (12 Pro, 128GB, Graphite) said Nov 16th - but now I just got notified that it will arrive on October 27th. Not that I’m complaining but that’s a pretty huge difference...

Well my phone went right by my house in Louisville and is now in Connecticut. I’ve called Apple and ups both 5 times in last 6 days to change the address. They have all failed. I’m amazed. Guess I’ll just have to buy a new one and goodbye att trade in deal.

Happy iPhone 12 Day you guys!

For all of y’all getting your phones today, congratulations! Did everyone with a 10/23 delivery get free standard shipping?

I’m asking because I noticed most of y’alls scans started on 10/18/20. It took approximately 6 days for it to get from China to your destination.

My 10/30 - 11/4 window is still “preparing to ship”. I’m trying desperately to calculate how quickly this phone can arrive. I’ve been charged my tax and progress moved to prep ship... don’t want to get my hopes up but I’m trying to prepare myself mentally for the torture of it arriving while I’m not home.

Any input helps. Thanks and ENJOY YOUR IPHONE 12/UNBOXING!

Note: next time I’ll select in-store pick up.

I had the same delivery date. Yesterday it flipped to preparing to ship and overnight it shipped and has a tracking link to fedex. Fedex is domestic only, so it’s likely already done the worldwide fun and it’s sitting in a warehouse. My arrival date got cut in half by Apple algorithms so it’s showing as a Wednesday delivery. While nothing is on the fedex page yet, I’m expecting it either today or this weekend.

Currently backing up my iPhone 11 Pro Max to my Mac before heading out for my 8am pickup of the new iPhone 12 Pro. Tip for anyone that might not know (I was very dumb last year), if you download all of your music from Apple Music to your device and want an easy way to port it over without having to re-download every single song, simply create a new Smart Playlist and set the parameters as any song over 0 seconds, it will add your entire library to the playlist and then when you get your new phone, just click "download all" on the main playlist page and let it do its thing. Last year, I wasted 3 hours manually re-downloading every single song to my device.... :-x

Anyways, here's to hoping we all get our new phones today and that everything goes as smooth as possible! Crossing my fingers for those having issues with UPS.

Their service is Follow my delivery. But it’s not for all packages. So far it’s not for my iPhone delivery. If it was you would see a link on the ups page under the Out for Delivery message.

I only see it once the truck leave the distribution hub. So usually 930ish. Then I’ll be able to follow.

mine shows out for delivery, but when you check it’s just been loaded onto the truck.

Hopefully mine is right behind yours. Laurel is my local hub too...

Hearing that makes me feel better now.

In my experience the shipping system for initial preorders and the shipping system for everything else aren’t always the same. In other words, you might not see the same elapsed times or scan points. You still might but it also may be that your order will be fulfilled from inventory already in the country and you won’t see all the international stuff.
