It's been fun being with everyone as we watched your phones come from China and make their way through the UPS system, to be brought to you today. I always enjoy these threads and for COVID-19 Apple is giving me two times to enjoy it this year. I hope everyone loves their new phones and that you will stick around for the Pro Max\Mini Days.
I'm going to be ordering a PB Max to replace my 11 Pro Max. Love the big screen and looking forward to an even bigger one soon.

Enjoy these new phones!!
 
UPS CC pickup was pretty bad this year as well. Requested a hold, drove to the CC at 8am opening. They said they didn't have the phone. Called UPS support 3 times and got a different response each time. The first rep said the pickup request didn't go through and that it would be delivered today. I knew she was wrong so I called in again. The second rep told me it would be delivered if I cancelled the pickup request (which you couldn't do in the app and would likely delay delivery to Monday). And the third said it would be ready for pickup at 3pm. I drove home, refreshed the tracking, and it said it was ready for pickup at 8:31am. Drove all the way back and picked it up. The lady who was first in line at opening had the same problem and she was still inside the CC waiting on the phone.

My blue iPhone 12 is here! It's a deep blue, I really like it! I'm glad I went with the 12 this year instead of the Pro. I barely took pics with my 11 Pro Max, so I won't miss the camera. As for the size, it's perfect in the hand.

One thing, though. When I set it up, I got a popup on my iMac like I always do when I sign into iMessage on a new device... except this time it said I signed into a new iPad, not an iPhone. Hmmm...
 
I expected to see a margarita in the shot! Cheers buddy. Enjoy the phone and weekend! 🍹
I thought about it...I’ve already had 3 drinks today.

Phone had an issue in the setup and it wasn't able to activate the cellular. I reset it, started again, restored from a backup -- but still no cellular. Tried calling AT&T but they are unsurprisingly overloaded. Eventually pulled my old SIM and put it into the new phone -- voila it works. Is this something I need to deal with and get AT&T to update the SIM or can I just live life with the old one?
I’m gonna live my life with my AT&T sim from my XS Max when I get the Pro Max

That happen to me too this morning, I was first one there 8:30, they said I made a request change at 6 am and that my package would be delivered tomorrow, so the 2 people after me got their phones, I waited 10 minutes and my phone appeared.

The other day I got something at 6:15 and they will do Saturdays sometime. If it doesn't come today you might be able to have them change you to Saturday since its late.

It’s 8:15 here and still waiting, brasing myself to having to wait until Monday (it happened to be before with ups). I do see the truck near by on ‘Follow My Delivery’. Fingers crossed

My pro in PB arrived about two hours ago and it’s wonderful! Coming from an 8 Plus, this one feels so small! Got the Cyprus green case as well. Can’t wait to try out night mode and all the other fun things my 8+ didn’t have! The screen is very warm looking compared to my old phone. But other than that, I’m in love!

It’s been fun tracking all these phones over the past week with you all. Until the next upgrade, farewell! Enjoy your new fun toys!

True Tone is on by default did you turn that off?

this sucks. I've been phone less since Tuesday...sold a broken X in anticipation that it'd be here today.
and my UPS My Choice doesn't even show the "follow my delivery" option.
