Other Apple.com iPhone 12/Pro/Max/Mini Pre-Order/Order Status/Delivery Thread (2020) [Merged]

How does one go from wanting the biggest...ever, to considering the smallest

Well I am on an SE rn an aside from the display and camera I love the size and the Mini physically is even smaller while having a larger display and slightly better battery.

Mine still has no progress since it’s arrival Shanghai scan.

Since Minis are still available for Nov 13 delivery if ordered now, mine is scanned but probably still sitting somewhere. I also wonder that UPS is just waiting enough to fill up an airplane, and fly unscheduled flight when it’s full.

This is an old article and not Shanghai factory but my guess is the process is still similar. It says customs facility is a few yards away from the factory and one airplane can hold 150,000 iPhones.

Quick Question, when you start a return online for an order and you get that extended timeframe to send back the item...does that also apply to returning it to your local apple store or does a return in store have to be within the original 14 days of purchase? Support seemed confused so I wanted to get some real answers if anyone has ever done it?

Is it just me or did we break the UPS tracking server?

impossible, the bandwidth is controlled truncated to prevent crashing is why some people scan info is delayed for long time. but this will be bulk scan

Remember how many of us from the 12/12 Pro batch were tracking the wrong flight from CN on that first night? 🤦

 

[Akasms]

I think it'll be no updates until Nov 10 ''ZhengZhou, China'' for IPPM. I was watching the iPhone 12 Oct tracking I think it will be the same.

With no charge brick and thin box surely they can fit 200k on a plane. Less weight too

 

[dyzfnctional]

I tried searching by my phone # and order # via UPS and no tracking came up... am I doing something wrong, my cc got charged and maybe its not shipped yet?

UPS delivers 22 million packages per day. Macrumors didn't crash it lol

Remember how many us from the 12/12 Pro batch were dropping early shipment and shipment dates were changed to Friday... it was one by one, each iPhone tracking was getting updated 😂

No way! That’s too far out. Expecting to see movement tomorrow by Wednesday. On wed morning it’ll be at KY.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

When I pick up my pre-order Friday, can I return the new iPhone to get the money back on my CC and purchase it again in that moment on a different CC?

Yeah, that was the info I got from two Apple Store employees. Even though I will get a box to ship my XS Max back, I can also just take it into the store, give it to them and get the refund back on my credit card. I just have to make an appointment for that this week (whole Covid thing, can't just walk in) , hopefully get in there next Sat, Sun hopefully to do that.

Me trying to get my iphone

 

[Lammy]

Does anyone know if I will receive the Applecare email with the serial number if I have my order set to be picked up in store? Or will I not know my serial number until I get there to pick it up?

 

[Bako-MacAddict]
