Hopefully UPS61 will have landed in Anchorage by 2pm my time (PST)
Flight info for UPS61 scheduled from Anchorage (Leaving at 4:15pm PST) to Louisville (Arriving at 9:53pm PST) is no longer on FlightAware. Hopefully there will be some earlier flights or they will reroute to a different hub.

I'm expecting my iP7+ (silver 256GB) to arrive in Los Angeles by the 16th still

Pre-ordered 12:45 midnight launch day, ended up with some issue with AT&T, got one reserved, finished the order just before noon.

I ordered same phone had same dates and ordered after you and I received tracking info in my choice for Friday.

When did you order? And for what carrier? I got my confirmation at 12:08AM PDT for the same phone on AT&T and have the same delivery dates, but nothing as far as tracking yet.

Every single iPhone that I have ordered from Apple ever since the CDMA model of the iPhone 4 launched in 2011 has been shipped with UPS. I'm pretty sure they have some kind of exclusivity deal IIRC, could be wrong.

Here in Chicago it's been a mixed bag between UPS and FedEx over the years for my phones getting delivered after I preordered.

Mine shows:
Taoyuan, Taiwan 09/15/2016 2:32 A.M. Arrival Scan

seem a bit behind? o_O no departure scan yet
I have Sep 16 scheduled delivery

I'm on your flight

I believe the flight was on its way to Anchorage when it got rerouted due to the typhoon.
UPS61 (which was delayed) is scheduled to depart in seven and a half hours and should arrive in Anchorage around 2pm PST)
See link:

Note I live in Los Angles and use PST to refer to in my posts. See my posts before this for some more speculation / facts as to what's going on with our phones.

That's my flight as well and I speculated the same. I'm sure we will wake up to departure scans in the morning but nothing much will be going on tonight. I'm still expecting it on Friday.

So envious of all you people getting your delivery on launch day! I got my order confirmation in at 12:14PST for an iPhone 7+ JB and got a delivery date of September 30th-Oct 3rd. Anyone else with those dates see any movement on either the apple support page or on UPS? Not having luck.
I received my confirmation email for a 7+ JB 128GB Tmo the exact same time as you, but my ship date is Oct 4-10. Still showing processing order, no tracking number, etc
 
I think Early Pickup is referring to the hours. That being said, your request should go through because we are still very early in the shipping process. You don't even have a true shipping notification yet.

With that being said, does anyone know what they mean exactly by being able to pick up early? For example, if I am not able to pickup my phone on Friday because it was late on Friday, how early can I be able to pick it up on Saturday, the store that I'm having it shipped to opens at 9:00am on Saturdays but I have to work so can I come in at like 7:00am and pick it up or is that even too early for early pickup?
 
Bit of an aviation nerd... so my phone is an excuse to geek out.

Flight with my phone from Anchorage (UPS 99) is currently in southern Indiana 25 miles from KSDF - Standiford Field in Louisville where UPS has a big operation. Flying on a MD-11 tri-jet, really cool knowing they still use that bird - I've always loved it.

Listening to ATC now and it sounds like they're doing more VFR landings tonight compared to ILS, must be some clear skies out there. Plane will be landing on runway 35L more than likely, possibly 35R.

This is fun. :)

Here's the bird bringing lots of our phones - including mine. Beautiful!!

Expecting my iPhone to get to Orange County Friday as well. Hope they can be in the states ASAP!
 
Still in Louisville! Is everyone else still there? (I'm in Los Angeles)
I'm also in LA. My iPhone has been in Louisville since yesterday and my Apple Watch arrived there today. Apple.com still shows preparing for shipment. My guess is we will either ship to LA tonight or tomorrow and at that time we will get the shipping notice.

**My bad. I replied before reading all of the other replies.

I found a site where I can listen to ATC but I'm not sure what to put in for the Frequency. My phone is on UPS61 stuck in Taoyuan Airport for another 6hr 45min according to FlightAware
