Carrier Apple.com New 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

I don't think you have to assume. You can look at the reference # and match it to your order #.

You were right. I was looking on the UPS app so it doesnt show the ref number. I was able to find the one for my phone.

The latest update is

ZhengZhou, China 09/19/2018 5:46 A.M. Departure Scan

Guys just read this and relax. This is my assumption I made.

There is 6 or 7 ups flights headed to Worldport now

Likely see updates soon too.

What size XS Max? Color? Carrier or unlocked?

64gb Space Grey, Verizon. My order (about 4 min earlier) is the same, but SIM-Free, and I already have a tracking number from UPS for that one.

They are landing in about 2 hours or so

I’m still on a siesta in ZZ. So sad

 

[Sweet Pikake]

Tracking is boring if your device is not moving. Lol

I think he's referring to the iPhone flights in FlightAware. Right now there are six headed from Anchorage to Louisville that land in a few hours

I reached out to Apple to ask if I got the ATT unlocked or SIM Free version - turns out it was ATT. They should put that on the order page, but that’s neither here nor there. The CSR told me I will have my phone Friday. Good news for those of us that left ZZ at 5:46!

Unless you financed through AT&T, it will be unlocked.

Reference: FAQ on Appl website
Nearly all iPhone models sold on apple.com are “unlocked” — which means your iPhone isn’t tied to a single carrier. If you choose carrier financing from AT&T or Verizon, your iPhone will be tied to your carrier, which may also include limitations on the eSIM.

What minute are we at with the status change from “preparing to ship” to “shipped”? I got my email at 2:10 AM CST..

Same anyone else in ZZ still?

 

[ZacKaffeine]

I read back through the last few legs but didn’t see anything about it, but was wondering if anyone who ordered multiple items have tracking numbers that show them in different places?

 

[Pipper99]

Stop providing the logic! What would this forum be without the chicken littles!!

Oh yeah, you’re right: the sky is falling! Apple meant 9/21 2019, not 2018!

I also found that the UPS app was behind the UPS site. Now I'm tracking only on the site.

Been in ZZ so long I've grown a really long beard.

 

[tekchic]

Same anyone else in ZZ still?

Yup. Today's the worst day because I know this happens every year, but it's the part that makes me sweat making launch day. Fingers crossed I'll see freaking *something* tomorrow.

What size XS Max? Color? Carrier or unlocked?

Mine has the same statement with a September - October time frame shiet.

I’ve got a Watch in Shanghai, and an iPhone in ZZ

So do we have any theories where this 5:46 AM ZhenZhou plane is going? It's already 4-5 hours so it either hasn't been scanned or it's on a long trip. Usually it goes to Incheon then Alaska from there or to HK then Alaska but those fights are too short (just a couple three hours).

Is it possible they have a secret flight directly back to the US I hope so.

 

[frumpy16]

Same anyone else in ZZ still?

Yep me.

maybe all of us in ZZ are on those flights and it just hasn't been scanned?
