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

I’m no Einstein but I’m also not an idiot. Yet I cannot figure out how UPS maps its routes. My phone came up from the suburbs to my rural area, passed my main road, way passed, and is now headed back along another back and forth pattern.

They came to my neighborhood circled my house for 2 hours, passing my street about 5 times. I'm in a suburban area. Supposedly they map their routes to have as many right turns as possible to save fuel. IDK if that makes a difference in a neighborhood like mine with twisty roads and little traffic.

<nervously looks around for the "that's what she said" coming>

I thought of it and thought, "Nope. Already offended and ignore-listed by one person..."

A quick size comparison.

iPhone 12 PRO MAX v/s iPhone 12 PRO.

If there was one lesson to learn this entire week, it would have been that!!! HAHAHA

Where is this?

Sonoma County,CA about 45 min north of San Francisco!

Received mine at work and had to install iOS 14.2 before it could start the transfer. Now I'm in 'Preparing to transfer', which it originally said would take 3 hours. First time doing a direct transfer rather than downloading from a icloud backup.

I will say, I'm not impressed with the graphite color. Not that it matters, as a Pitaka case will be covering it. Also, of course it's big and all, but I'm not sure I like the feel of the squared sides. Time will tell, but the rounded edges of the 11PM seemed to provide a more secure purchase of the phone. Hopefully I'll get to play with it soon, but until then, I guess I'll get some work done...

It started transferring as I took a pic with my Surface. 6 hrs...

Thanks,

No, you’ll probably get it earlier than that ?

At 8:59pm lol.?

Suggestions for everyone. Make sure you install a screen protector. No matter what!

After spending over $1500 I'm not taking any chances. It will stay in pristine condition.

Don’t you just love this color?

It looks beautiful!!! Congratulations.

12x digital!!

5X zoom looks like money! That 12X is still a wee bit faded in the back, and not in a great way. Still much better than previous revisions. Damn it, this UPS truck can't come soon enough.

Loving my PB Pro Max! The size is not nearly as unmanageable as many reviewers made it seem. Impressed so far!

Arrived at 12:30pm, no signature required, separate UPS driver delivered my iPhone Pro 12 Max Silver 256gb. All is good. I had to update its firmware to 12.4. Wonder what it came with? See you all again in maybe another 3 years.

I wonder why they used UPS this time. In the past, all my Apple products always shipped via FedEX. UPS takes all day to deliver to my house and FedEX is always late morning. Mine probably won't show up until 8pm or so.

Usually the link for a delivery window shows up by now... mine says out for delivery.... but not the track my delivery thing?

But I understand protecting an investment. I do IUP every year so I’m not worried about resale value.

I believe they have 14.1

I already have the 14.2 IPSW loaded on my Mac for installation

And it feels lighter. It’s basically the same size although I can tell I have more room to type on the keyboard it feels like!

All iPhone releases for a while now have been UPS.. their logistics are the reason our phones have gone from China to my doorstep in 4 days.

For at least the last 5 years - Apple has delivered with UPS to *most* people...

Come on ALREADY!!! I think the driver stopped for lunch... its a restaurant there.. let him enjoy his lunch!

They look better on the phone but I was impressed with the 12x. Way less grainy as previous. Can’t wait to really get in on the night time portraits and night mode on all Cams!

And I think mostly for brand new products that are shipping out of China. Most likely because they have a better deal for International shipping with UPS.

Im

Thank you! I go caseless 98% of the time. I just love how the iphone looks and feels naked. ?

I would break mine if I didn’t have a case.. I’ve been known to fumble it now and then lol
