Same for me too !

Dont know if it can make a delivery at NY tomorrow
I believe, as I said above, that your phone and others were actually on the 9:55p Departure flight but didn't get processed properly, so they resubmitted ALL shipments on that flight...hence the second 2:40 Departure some like myself are seeing now.

looks like it is on "Korean Air Lines Co. 8241"

Interesting thought, we will see once UPS99 gets to Alaska.

OK...weird info from UPS Agent on Chat. Told me my phone is in transit and next destination is Louisville! I asked and agent confirmed that they do sometimes use non-UPS planes, so this might be part of an effort to fix the shipping delays. If the agent is correct, watching UPS99 would seem pointless. Need to find what flight it might be on. What fun! A challenge ;)

For those of you who've had your phones make it to Anchorage, are they typically good about getting cargo on the very next flight to Louisville that leaves around 3p local? Anyone been stuck in Anchorage? I am guessing UPS is better in the States...especially with the bottleneck in Korea and China.

Overall they appear to be quick getting them to Louisville after arriving at PANC. That said, mine sat an extra day. When chatting with UPS as to why, they said it was because the phone was "sorted incorrectly" and would add a day to the delivery.

I don't see anything direct to Louisville, as I believed was the case. It must go through Anchorage, Detroit or Atlanta. Or maybe the stop in Anchorage is different and the Agent can't "see" it as a destination?? Agent said they are unable to see the exact route.

I just talked to T-Mobile, they are about $100 less than AT&T for 2 iPhones for the exact same service (unlimited everything) so I will be switching. Been with AT&T since iPhone 3 in 2008. I was thinking about the matte black but I would be settling & I really wanted the jet black. Unfortunately T-Mobile is back ordered also on the jet black with a delivery date beyond my Apple date so I guess I'll just keep my order with Apple & take my phones to T-Mobile when my phone gets here. I'm still looking for the phone on other sites but the 7+ is still impossible to find. I'm selling my husbands iPhone 6 on eBay as soon as my 7+ gets here. I've looked on eBay & they are selling the 7+ for big money!!! You will definitely make bucks selling your jet black on eBay. I'm guessing right now I'm stuck. I'll just wait for my phone to be delivered & go from there. I feel like I've been rode hard & put away wet with this whole preorder thing. Way too frustrating & emotional. Oh & the sdl is my initials very simple & easy to remember

That's is a good deal moving to t-mobile... now you got me thinking if I should do the same, I've been with AT&T since iPhone 1... haha.. but they screw their costumers so bad every couple of years by changing the plans and what not... I will check out T-Mobile today.. and yes, I feel the same as you do on waiting for the jet black and returning mine.. Why emotional? I can only imagine a lot crying and sleepless nights cursing the iphones gods... :p:D

Yeah, I didnt see anything either. I would think they are on UPS99 or KAL8241.

My gut tells me they are all on UPS99 and stopping first at Anchorage since there is no way direct to Louisville. As for Korean Air flight, I doubt it since that would mean the cargo scanned the exact minute (2:40am) the plane was pulling away. The UPS99 flight departure, however, was around 20 minutes AFTER the scan, which seems more reasonable. We will all know more once it lands in a little over an hour...once they get around to scanning and updating.

When someone sees an Anchorage scan, please post ASAP!!!

I say it's emotional because I've had an iPhone forever. Always was able to get the phone on launch day with the exception of that unfortunate AT&T order with the iPhone 5. I'm sure you understand Apple loyalty. I've had I don't know how many iPads, Macs & I even have an Apple Watch! I LOVE my Apple products. It's just hard waiting but I'm sure it is for everyone. You should definitely check out T-Moble. I was only with AT&T because back in the day they were the only carrier with the iPhone.

We'll know in about 2 hours. UPS99 is due to land in an hour and change.

She was just delivered and she's soooooo pretty!

I am happy for you. Thanks for your feed back on here. My phone is still out there some where. It would be nice to have it in my hands soon. It supposed to be on the UPS truck somewhere in the neighborhood. I hope they don't send it back to Zing Zing. LOL

Even though mine has departed, I expect to receive the notice of arrival in 3 hours...delayed, of course!
