Carrier Apple.com New 2018 iPhone Pre-Order Thread

Based on past shipments, I think our phones might be making a stop in South Korea before going to Anchorage.

I ordered my case right after my phone too. Do you have a Wednesday delivery? Mine says that.

My girlfriend ordered an Apple case for me after she pre-ordered. It also shows a Wednesday delivery.

There is a UPS flight leaving Incheon for Anchorage in about 8 hours.

I'm still reading back on page 57, post #1425 and decided to try some of the tricks to track mine.

I thought it was strange that Apple.com says preparing for shipment when other people had tracking via UPS my choice. Nothing showed up in my own UPS mychoice account where I get alerted a day before a package is arriving at home or work, so I tracked by reference with the order # minus the last 2 digits.

I clearly got different results at UPS than what I got from Apple.com, and it's actually on it's way.

Apple flips to "Shipped" only once it leaves China and is inbound for the US. This method is just one that was sussed out by this group years ago to get a heads up over the info Apple provides.

There are a few paths the shipment can go to prior to reaching Anchorage. The 2 main ones are Hong Kong and Incheon

Looks like we’re on the same plane!!!

 

[PhillyGuy72]

That's 1.1 lbs.

Yeah I did the conversion.
XS Max is 7.3oz or 208g
Almost 1/2 lb at 0.45625 for the phone itself. Add the box, contents. About 1lb.

Well at least tomorrow we get to play with iOS 12 while we wait.

My XS Max 512GB Space Gray (iUP) shipped, joining the 2:10 AM club. I'd like to pick it up at a CC but does it tell you if the delivery date will change before a final submission? I don't want to press a couple of buttons and end up with a 9/24 pickup date without being told first.

 

[Musashi3052]

Well I finally got a shipping notice for my case, though it doesn't show in UPS yet. But at least I'm caught up with the rest of you who ordered one!

As long as it’s the CC you should be good. Everything goes through CC.

Looks like I’m out of the flight aware crowd as my phone is still nowhere to be scanned yet

I just woke up. Still nothing for me in UPS

Have you been hiding under a rock?

I've been running iOS 12 since mid-July.

 

[CarboysDesire]

OMG nutty plane tracking season has commenced!

Your case (and other accessories) from Apple isn't coming via UPS ... look for it on the FedEx site.

 

[Yptcn]

Why am I keep getting this does anyone know?

Same here

 

[Jr3153]

Yes it says Wednesday though the tracking number doesn’t work. I am going to guess that it will start working tomorrow since its a work day

LOL! I don’t do betas on my daily driver.

OMG nutty plane tracking season has commenced!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

 

[Jr3153]

Yes. Got the tracking # from Apple, but nothing showing up on UPS. I figure they are here in the states and they will show up tomorrow on the UPS app.

That is what I am guessing as well. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t the only one.

 

[AZhappyjack]

Been running it on my daily driver since beta 3. What's the point of living if you aren't living on the edge?

The email says UPS. So it's wrong? I'm not seeing it on FedEx either.

 

[Jr3153]

Anyone with just an XS (not max) get shipping info on the UPS app (track by reference)?

My XS Max is showing up twice (same tracking number) in UPS Choice, but my wife’s XS is not showing up at all under my number, her number, or Apple order number. All three show as “Preparing for Shipment” in the Apple store though.

 

[CarolG]

I got a tracking number! Just one. Weighs 0.7 kg. Must be phone. Xs Max, 512gb, gold.

Xs Max iPhone is .5 kg.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

iOS 12 comes tomorrow
