Hi all! Finally caught up with reading all the Pro Max posts and decided to join the forum. This is going to be my first iPhone ever (switching from Samsung Note)

I had no idea shipment tracking was a thing, but my label was created at 9:55am and excited to watch it travel across the world to me!
Welcome to the madness! Glad to have you.

Welcome to the Apple family and the obsession that follows. :) You have to be this tall ______________ to ride this ride. ;)

Welcome aboard!!! So glad you joined us. We will all be traveling together from China to the States. The madness will start soon.

Thanks! My mom must be rolling in her grave at the fact I bought one. (She called them "cootie phones" 🤣) I got an iPod in 2006 and an iPad mini back 2012, but those are the only Apple products I've ever used.
Once you get an iPhone, you will end up with an Apple Watch followed by a Mac and a bigger iPad, not to mention spending more and more time on here.

I think you’ll enjoy it. And best of all, you don’t have to wait forever for system updates. Everyone gets them at the same time. I don’t think you’ll have any problem adjusting to the switch.

The switch is a little daunting and I've been trying to find a crash course on how to utilize everything on iOS. Some things I know I'll miss (like split screen), but I'm really excited about a bunch of the features I've been missing out on! My niece is more excited than I am I think - she keeps saying she can't wait to play iMessage games with me. :)

IMO you picked a good time to jump in, we're finally getting the best of both worlds. Edge to edge screen, and square bezels like the old iphone 4 and 5, it's always been my favorite design. Also the cameras are nothing short of amazing and the new night mode looks awesome.

Hmm..I don't see the option for UPS CC pick up, only the UPS Store. I might just call later to see if I am able to request a UPS CC pick up over the phone.

The iPhone will come with a preloaded app called “Tips” with some nice little tutorials, and the forums are great here if you have any questions or issues. Just visit the iPhone Tips, Tricks and Troubleshooting Forum. Lots of knowledgeable people there who are more than willing to help.
