I had a Friday spot, but with all the glitches I ended up with a Saturday spot. I hope I pick it up on Friday

Yes, and I think apple store staff will let you fast track if you hold a pickup window earlier than when you show up.
Yep, you're all good. And the employees probably love late instead of early: so much easier to say 'we still have your phone' than 'hold on let me see if I can give it to you early.'
hm it is 7pm here in Germany and my order still says in 'process' and pickup is set for tomorrow 12:45pm. Hopefully it will be ready in the morning..

pickup date is tomorrow and it still shows Processing! anyone else facing the same thing?
Probably safe to trust. I don't remember reading/hearing about someone saying I had launch day pick up but it never said 'ready for pick-up'. It might have happened. Even lots. But I've never read/heard, so...think you'll be good.
same for me!
ok I will relax and wait for tomorrow! Wish u a great pickup day tomorrow
I will post a picture while u guys are about to wake up!
Thanks! You too!
Excited to share the new fun with everybody--whether you're coming from a 13-something or a 6s that no longer get iOS updates, whether you need it or want it, whether you're convinced or not sure, for whatever reason that you're getting a phone, I hope you absolutely find some joy in it.

I ran into this a couple years back when I had to leave town unexpectedly for a family death. The people who run the appointments are usually pretty cool and will put you behind the people that have that current time slot.
4am 16th Sept here in Australia picking mine up in 4hrs
Might even start checking again tomorrow when they let us.
I sometimes purposely like Saturday so I don't have to go after work and can chill. Usually we even pick a further store in a nice mall.
Strongly recommend your latter idea. @Shadowbech can vouche for me when I say there can be some surprising difficulties changing physical sim to e-sim. I spent hours with Verizon to get it right. Glad I at least did that before I got the new phone.
Shouldn't be an issue at all since you are doing iPhone to iPhone. I am coming from Android and it is required to call in the carrier to provide you a QR code for eSim. I based this on the Apple guide transferring physical sim to eSim.
Still contend, if it’s possible for you, use some of that excitement you have for getting a new phone and change to e-sim before you get the new phone.
(I, too, thought it would be so quick and easy. But unexpected issues came up. Took hours.)

Mine says the same thing. I think they will change later today or overnight. At least i hope...
Um yea. We had that issue before but glad that you got it resolved. It was a night mare.
I picked up my VZW iPhone 13PM last year at an Apple Store, and the eSIM worked fine from my 12PM with a physical
Well aren't you the bearer of good tidings.
I hope for those who are waiting will have an experience like yours.
