I just checked my tracking and it said delivery address change requested, but I did not request one. I'm on hold with UPS now. Anyone else seeing weird issues with the tracker?
 
It's finally here! UPS dropped it off at our complex's secure package locker room. Did not try to locate my apartment. The Pacific Blue is so pretty. Hope everyone gets their phone soon!

BTW, I successfully placed a pre-authorization on MyChoice yesterday. Not sure if they would have tried to find me if I hadn't done that.
 
Dumb question but I figured this group is where to ask it - I have erased all content on my phone and scrubbed it completely. The phone is still showing LTE - do I need to call Verizon who is the carrier?

If you were expecting it to have 5G, make sure (1)you are in a 5G coverage area for Verizon, and (2)make sure your plan includes 5G.

Not all Verizon plans have 5G.

All home, safe on deck. Had to represent with the Apple shirt today, too! Happy unboxing all - and hopes for speedy delivery to the following batches. Now it’s time for that Teremana! 🥃
 
Picked it up @10 at UPS CC, had to set it up as a new iPhone to update to Beta 14.2 now finally it’s syncing ....

good luck everyone!

Just got mine! The pacific blue is beautiful. Hides the 5G window the best in my opinion.

Doing phone to phone transfer from my iPhone X right now, first time doing it. Weird thing, when it asked me to enter the password for my Apple account (because some purchases were made with other Apple accounts?) there were about 10 emails that I have no association with (and thus didn't know the passwords) so I clicked "Skip this step" for each of them. I have no idea why these other accounts showed up, I only use one. They were weird emails too, like "itunes@iplus4u.com." Anyone else experience that?
 
Thanks - everything transferred to the new phone. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have to call Verizon for any reason on the old phone. Appreciate the answer.
Here’s another piece of advice. You want to go into your settings under cellular and make sure it stays on LTE! Lol I’m kinda joking but seriously 5G according to toms guide review will drain your battery. Do as you like but that’s what I’m going to do

Thought if you pay with a CC it does it immediately and refunds if it doesn't happen. If you bill a UPS account and it doesn't happen you just don't get billed.

Are you asking because it doesn't show 5G? If so no it will only do that when 5G is available it may not be where you are.
5g can be a gimmick honestly. I'm getting sub 100Mb/s DL Speeds on speedtest. I'm not complaining, but People assume 5g is going to be this huge upgrade. Its not like going from 3g to 4g LTE.

What’s a 5G window?

Where can you do that at? I don't see it in my settings.

Just got mine! This is extra magical for me. I worked in wireless for 11 years, so this is the first initial unboxing I’ve done for myself.
Opening dozens every day for demos and customers just isn’t as special.
I love blue, so have no regrets over ordering it... can’t wait to pick it up after work. But that graphite looks slick AF.
