I got a notification saying my iPhone 12 case is ready to pick up, so here it is! It has just the slightest lip to it, but I’m pretty sure the magnet is what will hold the phone in place. One pic shows my iPhone X in the case.
How is the bottom lip? Is it pliable.

Mine also says Wednesday the 21st, but these fools at Apple are sneaky. Logistical pros...no doubt that thing gets pushed to Friday. Blue Pro 256gb.

Trying to decide if I’m going to pick up at ups distribution this year or just be patient and wait at home for it.

it’s tough because the DC is almost an hour away so it’s a big time commitment, but if I wait at home my UPS stuff varies greatly sometimes as early as 1pm some times as late as 7pm.

also really looking forward to more MagSafe stuff. Really like the belkin charger that charges all 3 but not sure if I $150 like it.

Non-US orders got completely and utterly screwed!

I've read the forums boards, and several UK users for example could NOT get the app to work for minutes after release time. Meaning we couldn't complete our pre-arranged finance orders in time to get our devices on actual release day!

To be clear, Apple made it clear we HAD TO USE the iOS app to order the device:

I was in the app 5 minutes BEFORE release time, "come back soon"-type screen. Kept closing and reopening it for the next 15minutes, only to finally end up with delivery date of the 9 NOVEMBER — two weeks after should have got it!

I could order it casually today (Sat 17 Oct) and still get 10 November delivery, FFS!

Complete and utter shambles Apple. Of course I emailed them, and they took zero responsibility for the screw-up, so I'm now left with no gift for a 28 Oct birthday. Thanks very effing much Apple! :mad: :mad:

I typically will always request a hold for pick up at my UPS CC. I don't like the wait for the driver to come around, and I can pick it up at the UPS CC anytime that I want to pick it up.

I wonder how many Porch Pirates will be following UPS trucks on the 23rd? Contactless delivery this year.

Not sure if it was traffic related or something else, but I couldn't access the store through the app or desktop until about 5 mins after launch time. Kept getting the "almost there" message. (United States, Central Standard Time)

With so many people trying to get on at once, things can go wrong. The web store crashed for a bit in the US. Things happen, especially with millions placing orders at the same second.

I'm in UK and ordered fine for a pacific blue 128GB pro on launch day for delivery so it just sounds like you had bad luck?
