I hope my phone gets to travel with you guys. Last time I missed the 2:30 flight and I ended up being at 3:30 😒

Rumor was y’all even had the pilot drunk.

🥴🍸🥃🍷🍻🍹🍾🥂🥴

Hopefully we’ll get to travel together this time.

Well breaking news, it wasn’t a rumor. We had him drunk too...lol 🍻🍷🍹🍸

Lol, I remember the whole plane was LITTTTTT! Almost thought ya’ll were not going to make it to Alaska! I also remember it was a very long flight. However, you do owe me a few drinks as you promised to buy them for me last time 😃

When the time comes, will it be possible to track an unlocked model via reference?

 

[pilotpat]

Ordered 6 minutes after opening and I have to wait until November 3-6. Hope you guys have fun. I’m going home. 😥

Wait who was traveling to Alaska? We have other Alaskans here?

Also: anyone getting shipping notifications on their accessories? The silicone case and MagSafe charger I ordered shipped today and are both scheduled for delivery Tuesday, up from estimated delivery Wednesday.

yeah my clear case and MagSafe are scheduled for Monday. I’m going to have four days with the accessories before my phone comes on Friday.

The 2:30 crew from Apple Watch. They got very drunk at the plane.

The weirdest thing happened. This morning I ordered
a Wallet with MagSafe - “Black” (color). I just checked my order and it now shows that a “Saddle Brown” wallet is scheduled to ship in Nov. Has anyone heard of this happening?

yeah and I cancelled the order, place order same time as first order

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Looks like Apple’s MagSafe charger showed up via FedEx!!!

 

[joshwithachance]

Preparing to ship! Woooooooo. Ordered at 8:02am EST.

 

[bevsb2]

Just cancelled my order for 12 Pro gold with a ship date Oct 28-30 and re-ordered for store pick up Oct 23. I had trouble getting set up with Verizon this am and date slipped by the time I got my order placed. More excited now!

 

[dyfine]

I ordered via the IUP and it's being shipped to me. Is there a way to change to in-store pickup? Or would I have to place a new order online and then cancel the other one?

I've tried calling in the past to switch and they can't. You'll need to place a new order (and perhaps get a later date). Another option if you're wanting to pickup is to become a UPS My Choice Premium member if you're not already and then request with UPS through that program to hold your phone at a UPS pickup location. This way, you could pickup, albeit from UPS, not from Apple.

Honestly, I dont see why people have to wait a week to get a phone for years. Just start shipping orders. Whoever pre ordered Friday should ship out that same day and delivered by Monday. The watches were pre ordered event day and available that Friday. Apple like to keep people waiting after spending 1k on a phone.

Been pondering this for years. Just have people order and start shipping as stock is in place. I feel this process is more part of a hype train than anything... builds a consumer mindset and makes a bunch of us go nuts to order right away to get it on "launch" day. I'm sure somebody with more economic background can chime in but I definitely see how Apple (and places especially like Amazon) have curated a consumer culture.

What??????

 

[Branmonkey]

What??????

You know it...

 

[Branmonkey]

What??????

PS: You know a lot of people on here believe the shipping quotes are padded so there's a "great delivery" on shipping promises. Keeps the reputation hype strong. Of note, I'm not saying it's a bad or good thing... it's just consumerism at Apple's finest (kinda like Prime Day).

I ordered the iPhone Leather Wallet Magsafe in SADDLE BROWN. When I check the order status now it shows the color is BLACK. What gives?!!! My email order confirmation is Saddle Brown!

 

[mtwiggins]

Ok so weird thing, never seen this email from Apple before and only got it for my case, not the MagSafe or iPhone. Didn’t even look legit with the space before the exclamation mark etc. had enough of my personal info that I guess it is, but never seen it before. I also got order confirmation emails earlier today

Forgive all my scribbles lol

That’s why it’s called “preordering” and not just regular ordering. The launch date is already set well in advance, and all events/media/marketing are planned to coincide with that date. Any slippage or leak creates a ripple effect across the firm and industry.

Very true point!

Ordered for instore pickup in Escondido, CA at 8:00AM on Friday.. The mall doesn't open till 10 or 11am, will I be able to pick it up at 8AM if the store is inside the mall and the mall opens up at 10 somehow? Curbside??

Back in the day (e.g. the original iPhone, 3, 5, etc), the malls would always have a door or two open starting around 5am in the morning so people could go in and line up so I'm guessing, they still do the same thing (I've been having them shipped/live in an area with freestanding stores so not sure if this is still the case).

 

[dyfine]

Has anyone seen any third party magsafe charging stands become available yet? I would much rather a stand than the cable.

Belkin

Here's a question: I bought my iPhone 11 Pro last year using Apple Card Monthly Installments. Can I pre-order to the iPhone 12 Pro now and just cancel the rest of my payments when use the Apple Trade-In or do i need to pay off this phone first?

My guess is you could still keep making payments on it even after you trade it in vs have to pay it all off at once.
