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!
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!
Got a tip for us?

Sister or dad? You said earlier you were giving the other one to your dad now it’s your sister? Can’t decide who you’re giving the unwanted one to?
My phone shipped (12 pro) via UPS and has a date of Wednesday 3 pm - 7 pm and departed China
If you have a UPS account it should be in there already. My 12 Pro showed up this morning in the UPS app. Says scheduled delivery 10/21 lol I wish.

Just got a ups scan:
used the free ups my choice two week calendar. Was also able to track using "track by reference number" with the Apple order number minus the last two digits.

Mine either. Maybe we will be in tomorrow's batch.
My ups choice account has mine and my wife’s name attached to it so I can see hers has shipped but nothing for mine yet. Different plane maybe? 😂
I was torn on going caseless, but decided to pick up a plum one just in case I decided to pop a case on it. I thought that one as well as the white looked particularly nice with the pacific blue, though a matching pacific blue hue would have been nice...
Be careful if it’s says signature required they will still expect to see a warm body and someone who knows the last name of the package being delivered. I had a laptop delivery (signature required) but since it was COVID time when the UPS come ringing the bell my wife didn’t bother to go right away thinking they will leave the package. Nope, they left a note and say they will come back the next day. When i question the guy the next day about the policy he says: yes, no signature, but we expect you to answer and tell us your last name.
If you get the phone early, when you turn it on you will see:

“You are early, come back at 5am PST on 10/23.”

No one is getting their iPhones early! It really is a wishful thinking LOL
Apple doesn’t play games like that. They have strictly told UPS to not to deliver them earlier than Friday. It’s been like that for the last 12-13 years.
I also show the “Departed from Facility” and “Arrived from Facility” scans. Both in ZZ. Now the fun of out of order scans.
edit: Current ETAis 10/21 between 8:45am and 11:45am. Wishful thinking but maybe with all the UPS delays this year due to COVID, they’ll deliver some early.
