Oooof, just tried calling UPS Int’l again and AGAIN got someone who couldn’t find anything coming to my address. I don’t get how I can pull up the stupid useless partial tracking number but no one there can even get that much. This is truly an exercise in patience, which I usually don’t have much of. Lol.
I had the same experience! I didn’t know if calling again would be worth it, seems hit or miss.
 
I’m planning on setting it up as new. My current iPhone is way too buggy and its got random bugs and glitches. Going to start out fresh from scratch.
Do you guys know if I lose my Apple Watch / Health / Activity workouts if I setup as new? I just started doing iCloud backups vs old school iTunes wired backups. Been dying to set up as new due to the same kind of bugginess (especially around my AirPods and AirPlay/Bluetooth) but I don't want to lose my Apple Watch workouts, badges, progress.

I don’t know, it could be 14.2. Why would they drop 14.2 so everyone who upgrades to it and gets a new phone will be on different versions. I think 14.1 came with 12/12 pro right?
I'm 99% sure it'll be 14.1 because 14.2 only went to GM/release the day of preorders. Two more days and we'll all know! Yayyy 👍

This flight can’t be right. Which one is the 2:34 departure from ANC to SDF on?
 
I still have no email from Apple - but, my phone has left Alaska>......somFriday is looking good for delivery. 🙂 Meanwhile, I ordered a charger and case yesterday and have gotten a couple emails from Apple..go figure.

Yeah they were a nightmare back when my 7 Plus had a shipping delay and wouldn’t give me any concrete info. I think a whole plane sat on a tarmac that year due to a storm in AK or something. And they didn’t rush to get things sorted out until after the weekend

Do not have bug problems that I know of setting up new requires all the passwords, accounts and such I use to be manually entered, photos I store a lot of work since I do not use icloud/drive to store all my photos ect

Zollotech’s review of pro max shows that he had to update the phone out of the box to 14.2 so he could restore. I haven’t updated my 11 pro max on purpose till Friday!

I would suggest turn on iCloud and sync everything. Once you set your new device up everything will sync back in. 😅

I ordered a Graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max 512 GB the moment it became available for pre-order. It says it will be delivered Friday Nov. 13 but it’s still in the “preparing to ship” status...anyone else have this???
Everyone. The status on your order won't flipped to "Shipped" until it clears customs in Louisville, probably sometime today or tomorrow.

I remember! Was that the typhoon year? Just came across this screen cap of the...unique route our shipments had to take.

Dammit, I upgraded to 14.2
It’s a pain but to avoid any potential glitches (I bricked a phone once) just set it up as a new phone, upgrade to 14.2, then restore from your current 14.2 backup. I don’t want to do all that, so that’s why I’ll just wait. Or wait for others to say what the Max comes with on Friday since UPS doesn’t come until late on iPhone day here

Sounds like @drkwtsn needs to integrate his work address into My Choice. Give it a shot!

I wish you all a smooth delivery on 11/13!

I am the administrator for my business UPS account, so I was able to link them together. It will be harder if you are not the admin on the account.

I think the best better life ever was on iPhone 11 Pro Max. Missing this bad boy everyday. Apple nailed the battery life with that one. Trust and believe.
Ya, we were all asking for it and they finally gave it to us for the 11PM. Now they takeith awayith. its only 10% less but still it should never be less than previous years, plus i am a heavy user so it will affect me one way or another. If we are max users we are use to the bigness, why not put in at least the same size as last year. Who cares if thicker!! Only Apple would go back! frustrating!
