Did anyone else notice that the fast charger that came with the 11 pro doesn’t fast charge the iPhone 12? I didn’t know until I read an article about it. You have to buy the 20w adapter. LAME

and Apple said contact them back if I don’t receive my package within 3 business days after the scheduled delivery date.

UPS’ stupid AI chat bot and phone support bot didn’t let me talk to a person, and the UPSHelp twitter team didn’t give me any helpful answers either.

I set up a pickup at UPS location this morning to see if that would change anything, so far nothing and my request is pending.

I talked to UPS directly today and they have absolutely no idea where my package is. I also talked to Apple, as there are plenty of iPhone 12 Pro available at nearby apple stores, but because I use the iphone upgrade program they won't let me pick up the phone in the store. This is following up nicely on the heels of my lost apple watch series 6 ordered on launch day which has still not arrived. I am cursed.

Yep, it’s all about user preference. I envy those who know their preferences lol. I’ll keep my options open and in the meanwhile see other folks’ reactions and reviews. Enjoy the 12 for now and the pm in ~3 weeks.
Same.
 
For good old LTE, this is terrific for my area. I ordered the 5G sim from AT&T. Should be here Monday. For now, these new modems are great on LTE.View attachment 973273
Never heard of this but tried it out and got this. I’m guessing it’s terrible 😑

Has anybody else had their phone lost by UPS. Mine was to be delivered yesterday it's shown no movement in the last two days. And now it shows no delivery time or date of any kind on the UPS site. I've had to call both UPS and Apple a couple of times and ordered a replacement that won't take place for four days. This is the most upsetting experience I've had with a pre-ordered Apple phone.

As you can see in my reply above I am in the same boat you are. My phone seems to be lost in the UPS system. Apple has put in an order for a replacement that will take place in four days. Good luck on getting your items.

Same issue here except I can’t even order a replacement phone because mine was ordered in the iPhone upgrade program.

the best part is nearby Apple stores have the 12 pro in stock. Lol

Has anyone’s phones ever been lost in a UPS warehouse? Just trying to get an idea how long this is going to take if they have to refund etc.
I've talked to Apple about my lost phone in the UPS system. They tell me it takes four days to order a replacement. I imagine that's because the current phone could show up yet. If you haven't talked to Apple I would certainly do that at this point. Good luck.
 
I hope everyone is enjoying their phones so far: I got mine yesterday, but was not able to set it up, due to other circumstances coming up. I have a question for the board....

Through the years, I have always pre-ordered from Verizon and when I got my new iPhone, I would just turn off FindMyiPhone, iCloud, iMessage, etc on my old phone and then turn my new iPhone on and go through the activation steps.

This is my first year pre-ordering from Apple, I did confirm that my 12 Pro has a 5G SIM card in it. Would I just need to go through the same steps as I did in previous years, with previous phones? I'd like to try to avoid calling Verizon to have them activate the SIM card.
Yes, turn off FindMyPhone on your old phone but also, power down your old one before turning on the 12 Pro to start setup. I found the Verizon support article on activating: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-235468/

Interesting. I have never disabled Find My, iCloud, or iMessage when swapping SIMs/activating new iPhone. Has something changed?

Is this specific to Verizon? I am on AT&T.

Yes, I think it's just Verizon. I used to be on ATT and never had to do that. Just switched to Verizon this cycle and learned this the hard way :)

So frustrating! I hadn't done store pickup in years but this year did it and it was so easy. I think I'm going to do store pickup from now on (or as long as I'm just 4 blocks from an Apple Store) just to avoid all this delivery stress.

Did they actually order you a replacement, or you mean they won’t do that until 4 days have passed since Friday?
 
Ordered 2 cases from Best Buy and they sent the order twice. I was only charged for one of each. I called and asked how I can ship one back and he basically said I can’t because it only shows I ordered 1 so it would just refund the one I actually paid for.

Nice! I like to order 2 of my case so partway through the year I can get he phone looking new again with a fresh one. Although with that Otterbox...you basically have your phone in a vault :p
