Ugh, tracking came back up. Didn’t leave Syracuse until 10:46am. I’ve never had a package leave there that late and have it arrive here that day. If it’s getting rescheduled I’d rather know now so I can go about my day.
I think they are still trying to get them on trucks and get them out. The phones arrived at my hub after everything else went out and they still had trucks going out.
 
Everyone talking about setting up as new -- new is nice, but if you have an old Apple Watch with Health Data, I think you lose it unless you do restore from backup. You also lose any game saves that weren't cloud backed up.

I slimmed down a ton of games/apps on my phone to hopefully speed up the backup/restore process today.
 
Got it! Sylmar CC was just a tad behind. I got the email that it was there but I still had to wait will they brought them from the other side. Nice group of guys was ahead of me. Happy camper after all the crazy shipping tracking.

Till next year. XS SG 256GB

I usually set my phone up as new. 1. because i always run Betas so backups don't always work with older versions (if i don't put the beta on the new phone right away) and 2. i can get rid of apps i don't use
 
So I just got back from my CC to pick up my phone and watch. The warehouse that had my watch in Dallas last night had a power outage, and so. O packages got processed. At least I have my new phone to play with today.
My phone has been in destination scan for a while, and I'm also supposed to pick up at UPS CC. Can I just go now? Or is there some status after destination scan?
 
Pre-ordered the silver. Just can from my local Apple store and saw the Gold. Definitely going to have to do an exchange now.
 
LOCATION DATE LOCAL TIME ACTIVITY
Louisville, KY, United States 09/21/2018 7:35 A.M. Saturday delivery has been requested. / Delivery will be rescheduled for Saturday.

Bummer -- guess I'll get it tomorrow. At least my watch is out for delivery.
 
What does the circle scan mean?

Got an email from ups saying it might be delayed but tracking says end of day still. Not on the delivery truck yet but it’s in my city.
 
Neither one of our phones has an "out for delivery" scan yet, but I can see the delivery truck heading up the freeway now. Obviously the scans are behind!

That is my dilemma. I am on the 12.1 beta now and don't want to lose my Apple Watch progress (I have hit all goals everyday this year). So I am stuck with either losing it all or waiting till the beta is available for the XS before migrating over to the new phone.
 
Just have picked up mine from UPS CC. Glad that I requested for hold pickup otherwise I couldn’t have gotten it before Monday.

My wife's Gold 256GB MAX just came in! Got it all set aside for her to open when she gets home this afternoon! Not we are just waiting for her SS AW - which might be here on Monday.
