I had to ship to a different address than my home address so UPS My Choice won’t show my order since it’s based on home address.
No early package stalking for me. I’ll have to wait until they get me a tracking number. 🥲

My iPhone 12 Pro Max Gold 256 (ATT) moved to preparing to ship last night and now it shows up in UPS app with "Exception" but when you click on it it shows in transit and green - heading through the system in China.

I don't expect to get a "shipped" notification from Apple until it lands in the US. I think they wait until it's cleared customs at Worldport. That should happen Wednesday or Thursday.

What is an "exception" on UPS?
 
I can’t believe that 25 hours after the pre-order... a lot of models and colors has the delivery date for this Friday on Apple.com. (At least with AT&T) 😅
yeah and I was freaking out b/c I had issues trying to get it to move from Pickup to Delivery thinking those extra mins would cost me a launch day delivery.
 
I have UPS choice. As Shadow previously alerted, it just popped up in the app. :)
Hmm... last time I tried the app it was terrible; I’ve just been using the website. Is the app a whole lot better than it was a couple years ago?

Regardless, happy to see my mini show up in My Choice!
 
My order is still stuck in processing ugh.

"As soon as the item is ready, we will send you an update". Does that mean it will probably get delayed even further? I am low-key getting scared seeing others moving to Preparing to Ship and mine is still stuck in Processing :(
Nothing to worry about -- we're seeing PTS a lot earlier this year but the normal run is Saturday/early Sunday.
In my own experience the only time to be concerned will be if it hasn't flipped by Monday morning. They have to be shipped and moving by then to make to the US by Wed/Thurs.

You would think things would move faster than that but our phones will take a little break in customs for a day or so before they start that first flight leg to Alaska.
 
UPS will not leave the package. They ask for your name and fill it in on their tablet. No contact But "signature required".
Last week, my 12 Pro was tossed onto my front porch / door - the UPS driver didn't even ring the doorbell, knock or otherwise let me know it was delivered.

He treated it as if it was a ground service package!

Glad my Ring doorbell caught movement otherwise some porch thief may have grabbed it.
 
Plot twist: all of you all seeing tracking... it’s just for the empty box/return kit on the upgrade program.
In my case ATT tells me to either use the box my iPhone ships in to return or it's sent via Fedex....so nope - it's the phone :). Of course given ATT's logistics sending an empty box from China would not be so unbelievable either :)
