Otherwise if you get the infonotice, you could sign it on the back and stick it on the door. I got that one for one of the iphones as they refused to just leave it there. I signed the back of it, and they then were able to leave it the next day. Do. you have an apple store near you?

Thanks for the tip. I'll see what develops today and tomorrow. They haven't attempted delivery today so if the truck driver passes at a later hour it could be possible there's somebody at home. If not I have already talked with my brother and it's most likely he will be there tomorrow.

Only when the final delivery fails is that I will get into panic mode hehe. Yes, we have an Apple Store around 10 minutes from home but there was always no stock. Brickell City Center.

I was prepared for a long route to get my phone.... delivering it to my house is only the first step.. then a friend will fly it from US to Spain, he is waiting for his residence permit to be issued to be able to enter Spain. Thankfully everything looks good in time.

My iPhone arrived safely today at 2nd try! My brother sent me a photo and its safe at home :) . Part 1 done. I am thinking of buying it a DJI OM 4 as i am female and have very petite hands so this one would come in handy for taking selfies, video, tripod and also to do better camera takes in my future trip to the Maldives (March)

Congrats and enjoy! Is that the gold Pro version?

Pro Max 512GB 😁
Gold color. Coming from Matte Black 256GB 7+

First time with a Gold iPhone! Blue is my favorite color and I was dead set on the Pacific Blue but i just felt in awe with the Gold rim this year after seeing they got right like the shade of Gold. It was very hard to choose i liked both. I'll be pairing it with an Apple's silicone Plum case, the 20W new adapter, glass protectors, Magsafe charger and all of the goodies (some $3 imitation Apple wallets that look superb. I'm curious if i like them)

Did anyone on the iPhone Upgrade Program with Citizen's One get charged on their old phone as well as the new phone? Have been talking to Apple, and the customer service says I shouldn't be getting charged, they escalated the issue, but I haven't heard back.

I actually got a rebate from Citizens for my 11 PM. Have you spoken with Citizens? The charge may be determined by the date you ordered new phone vs when your last payment was due for your old phone.

I spoke with Citizens, my old phone loan was charging me every 3rd of the month. So with the new loan (charged every 12th), I was getting charged double. They said to speak with Apple. Apple told me I shouldn't be paying for both in the same month, and escalated it to a supervisor. They said the supervisor would email me, usually it takes 3 business days, but that was last Friday and I haven't heard anything.

Give a call back to Apple and reference your case number sine you haven’t heard back from them in the stated timeframe. I would try to do that by tomorrow or Saturday at the latest sine we are going into the holiday season. I would hate for you to have to wait because people are on vacation or that the office is closed. Good luck!

My status still shows as Processing, should I wait till the 23rd and then give a call to Apple customer support?
My expected delivery date is 16-23, but my order is still in Processing!?
Although the text underneath now says "As soon as the item is ready, we’ll send you an update." Instead of how it used to be "We have everything needed to complete your order......"
Anyone else faced such a thing?

Where in the US are you located? I wouldn’t wait till the 23rd. My PM took four days to be delivered from China so this might be the best case scenario for you and today is the 18th. Has your credit card been charged?

I have the same order as you...PB Pro 12 128GB. Ordered on Nov 30 with delivery estimate Dec 18 - 29 to Canada. Still processing and no CC charge. Still says "We have everything necessary to complete your order. We’ll update your delivery date when your order is preparing to ship." I am now resigned to the fact that this will be a post-Xmas delivery. The question now becomes...how long.

I am in Canada (I do see some stores have them in stock for next day pickup) and no I don't think the CC has been charged yet (unfortunately can't verify it, because someone else ordered it)

Ok understood. Maybe you can cancel order and pick up at the store instead? I am not sure if there is a delay in shipping with respect to Canada.

Will do. I did my order on Cyber Monday. I see some stock appearing in the closest Apple Store (4-hour drive) so maybe they will ship locally.
My status changed to "Preparing to ship" this evening and CC has been charged. Still awaiting tracking info
Yeah possible.
I see that all the 5 Apple stores in my 20km radius have this model in stock for pickup.
