Carrier Apple.com New 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

NikOnJava said:
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.

I didn’t do financing thru the carrier, I have a prepaid plan. I just ordered at 3:15am est and forgot which selection I chose since I was half asleep and had a couple windows open. That’s good info tho re: eSIM

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.

How do you know it's a plane?
 
Last checkin for me:
Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 09/18/2018 3:39 A.M. Arrival Scan

but also have another tracking number with same reference noted:

ZhengZhou, China 09/17/2018 2:10 A.M. Arrival Scan


so I am confused.

I think if they are on a plane it should be to Alaska. Last year some of the phones went straight from ZZ to Alaska.

Your order number from apple should be on there w plus 7 digits. It should help sort out which one is which
 
XS 64GB Verizon, I only just got my tracking today at 10am. And as of now, I’m still on label created. Can I get some excitement please? A scan? Anything?
 
I was bored so I made a Siri Shortcut that posts to the UPS tracking API and reads out loud the current status (i.e. departure scan, etc) and the city (i.e. ZhengZhou) :D You need an API key which you can sign up for here: https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit If you want the full shortcut let me know.

Added it into my morning routine shortcut lol

Been in ZZ so long, I went bald.

I had a full head of hair for real when the iPhone first came out. Now it’s gone and the white in the beard is all I have left. Yet, like the kid I was then, is the kid I am now stalking Macrumors and tracking the location of my iPhone.

Theres a lot of 2:10 ZZs that left already and have been scanned some that have left without scans and some still there. So a 2:10 scan in ZZ doesn't mean much anymore

So basically. If ur a 2:10 ZZ then hope u get scanned in at Alaska. Assuming they just scanned some of the pallets and missed others
 
I can finally see labels created for both of my phones. Neither has shipped and one label looks complete while the other offers limited info. At least one of my phones is sitting in Shenzhen China.
