Every picture I see of the gold is making me hate it more. I 100% want the pacific blue more than anything.

I saw all of them Saturday. Glad I chose pacific blue

Curious if anyone else uses their phone without a case? I prefer the feeling of the phone itself in my hands. I used my 11 pro max without a case too

case free for me!
 
Sorry to hear about your experience. My experience so far has been positive, but over at west coast it means I have to get up at 5am to do the pre-order, not sure if I want to do that again. I have also done launch day pick up and like you said the experience has been great as well.
Don't mind just going to the store, but would be pissed if the phone I wanted wasn't available. Plus my UPS delivers at 6PM, so I rather go to the store at 9AM.
 
That Cargolux flight finally took off, 45 min late. No additional scans for me, at least not yet. Ugh!

Anyone move to departure scan?

Nope, nothing for me :( Are we sure the paperwork is outgoing customs in China and not incoming to US?

Absolutely not sure at all, but I feel like the OG trackers on this thread said they clear import customs in ANC, then proceed to Louisville.

Eta: Yes, USA. No worries-also presumptuous of me that those of us in transit with the same scans are all US based.
 
Nothing for me.
That’s because our phones are in the US. My status changed to “We have submitted documents to Govt agency” at 12.30PM in PDT yesterday and the time on the status shows 3.30PM yesterday. Generally these timestamps are local. I m willing to bet its in the US and UPS systems are just delayed.

Nothing has changed. I briefly had a delivery date of 10/27 this AM. Then a half hour later, it was back to "
Please check back later for scheduled delivery." My last update was 13 hours ago.

Yes thats correct. If you look at page 360 on this thread. The status I have currently is updated when the phone hits Anchorage.

After way too much deliberation, I just ordered a regular 12 in Blue. 128gb!

Should be here Nov 3-5.

So these come from China!? When should I expect tracking on this bad boy?
 
Sure enough! Now I have the status update “We’ve submitted documentation to a government agency and are awaiting a response.” Customs delay, once again! Still in ZhengZhou? No flights for awhile.

I thankfully live in a small (74 Units) condominium that has a concierge 7 days a week. It's nice to have everything signed for, logged, and stored securely. They send an email and a phone call when anything arrives. I used to own in a larger condominium (over 200 Units 23 floors) - UPS would try to deliver to each individual door. Missed several deliveries! I spoke to the UPS driver on Friday when she was downstairs at the concierge (11AM EST) - she stated she had a lot of Apple product on her truck - we laughed that people would be chasing her down all afternoon. Sorry for your frustration. Sounds like someone really "dropped the ball".
You know what's ridiculous MOST OF ALL? I have concierge at this apartment! I have had deliveries before go to concierge!!!! All the UPS driver has to do is put it in a concierge locker for me that I can access! ALL of my amazon deliveries do this! Second of all, again, this should just adhere to my UPS MyChoice instruction to deliver to the UPS STORE! Then my whole rant would have never happened...

China outgoing customs is already reported at 4.09 AM
I don’t think that is outgoing customs-I think that is Foxconn releasing the shipment to the Chinese shipper. Then they go through governmental export documentation in Zhengzhou. Then they are released for departure scan to Anchorage. If they had arrived in the US you would have an arrival scan in ANC.

If you order to store picture, typically the store will provide you with the inventory. Apple employee is usually very good at holding phones. For iphone 11 pro launch day last year, I was able to order back to back on the same day and pick up both phone with a few hours in between.
 
ok i have a big question. i've noticed with these newer iphones and since itunes is no longer a thing, that it is incredibly difficult to put my own mp3's to my iphone 12. is there a way to do it? like i have cd's i want to rip and put onto my iphone but i have NO idea how to do it. can anyone help please?

iTunes is very much still the same thing on Windows and on Macs its the same process just done within Finder. Click your device and all the syncing options are present, they simply moved it all.
