The best part is, I know they obviously have routing and logistics down to a science but man, going off the “follow my delivery,” it looks so haphazard lol he’s literally gone around my house like four times.
 
Received my iPhone 12 at 11 am (EST).

Ahh. The UPS truck stopped right in front of my drive. Spent about 15 min in the truck then drove off without delivering my phone. What is going on. I just hope he finds it and comes back by the end of the day.

Walks to back of truck... not where it should be....oops left it at the hub Monday it is then.
 
Aaaaaand we're in! Restored from iCloud (big backup, definitely still doing stuff in the background, hah). Had to call T-Mobile to get the new R15 SIM activated on my account and the old one deactivated. Took just a few minutes, super easy, and we're off! This is so wild and new compared to my iPhone 7 Plus, already really enjoying the experience. Can't wait to test out the cameras! Halide Mk II just rolled out and oh man am I excited to give it a whirl.

edit: also the sides are so shiny, I seriously love it

edit 2: this is also my first time really using an OLED. never really seen an OLED in person, super excited to try out some good video and see how awesome dark mode is at night! I was using my 7 Plus in bed a few days ago and man, the blacks just aren't that black. going to be cool to be holding a device that makes text look like it's floating in a dark room
 
I feel like I'm the only one who had a delayed delivery until Monday. This is gonna be a long weekend :confused:

I'm right here with you. UPS picks up from my job at 4pm, and they always empty the truck before picking up. I'm 95% sure the tracking is inaccurate at this point. I just hope they can make Monday happen.
 
I did the same thing - cancelled the online order and bought the 12 Pro blue for pickup at the Apple Store on Sunday.
I am so pissed at Apple for not filling the pre-orders that devout committed Apple fans made last week - only to find out that my local Apple store has them in stock!

Next year, I won't get up early at 5am and to be charged - only to be told Nov 3-6.


So here is my "early" 12 Pro being picked up at the local Apple store:

It’s like that every year, but there’s no guarantee that your choice will be available right after Launch Day.

Did he get out at all?

No, I just saw a lot of packages being put into the front of the truck. Looking at the dash. I could even hear stuff being thrown around in the truck but he never got out. Eventually just put his seatbelt back on and drove off. Hopefully he finds it at the end of the day and still decides to drop it off.
