Ha! I was jealous of you and chinanderm earlier, because my tracking info didn't update until a couple of hours later than yours. I was sure mine was stuck in Korea for another day! Hehehe! Who knows when we'll get them? I'm still hoping for tomorrow, but Friday is more likely.
Good question, and not to add any salt, but this afternoon I received the AppleCare+ Proof of Coverage email.

Maybe this has been covered, but now that my iPhone is on the move, I noticed on the UPS map, which I chose to embiggen with two fingers on an iPad, that ZhengZhou, China does not appear to have an airport, but a lot of train tracks. Maybe explains the "lost" days in China that some iPhones experience.
Now I'm just confused. A few hours ago, I got a "Preparing for Shipment" status. I went back to see if there was a tracking number, and it's slipped back to "Processing Items." Has anyone seen that before? My card was charged yesterday.
I just need my phone before my old one dies, which is going to happen any minute now. It shouldn't take 2 months to get a new phone.
yeah im guessing if it doesn't get to Louisville today, which is kinda unlikely, we're waiting till Friday.
If I'm reading the schedule of UPS flights from Anchorage to Louisville correctly, flight 99, the continuation of the one currently in route from Korea to Anchorage, got delayed until 5:25pm AKDT, which I believe is about a 2 hour delay. I think it's because the flight from Korea left about 3 hours late. Two hours is probably enough time to scan the packages, refuel, maintenance, and change crews. Then off to Louisville.
God, there's too much info on the internet and I'm obsessed.
Personally: There's a flight that leaves Louisville for CID (Cedar Rapids), which is my local UPS hub, around 4:30am. Assuming the flight arrives in time, the packages get off in time in Louisville and transferred properly, mine could show up tomorrow.
Same issue on a black 128 GB 7 Plus as everyone else is having. Stuck in China for 3 days and now stuck in Korea, with a scheduled delivery to California tomorrow. Somehow I don't think it'll be delivered on time.

I don't get it. I ordered exactly the same model as you, but 9 days before you did. My card was charged yesterday, and my status changed to Preparing for Shipment today, but then changed back to Processing Items. What caused my order to fall behind those of others who ordered the same item after I did?
i hope youre right. I got so excited when my delivery date moved up to the 3rd from the 4th. Now they're just ****ing with me haha
Since you and Shinkokami08 got your tracking updates several hours before I got mine, I'm wondering if perhaps your phones might be on flight UPS97 that left about three hours before Flight UPS99. Maybe? Have a look.
First flight that left Korea:
Date Aircraft Origin Destination Departure Arrival Duration
UPS97 MD11 Incheon Int'l (RKSI) Anchorage Intl (PANC) 10:03PM KST 12:07PM AKDT (1 hour 21 minutes ago)
UPS97 MD11 Anchorage Intl (PANC) Louisville Intl (KSDF) 02:21PM AKDT (departs in 51 minutes) arrives 12:01AM EDT
Second flight that left Korea:
Date Aircraft Origin Destination Departure Arrival Duration
UPS99 MD11 Incheon Int'l (RKSI) Anchorage Intl (PANC) 01:51AM KST (took off 4 hours 38 minutes ago) arrives 03:56PM AKDT
UPS99 MD11 Anchorage Intl (PANC) Louisville Intl (KSDF) 05:50PM AKDT (departs in 4 hours 20 minutes) arrives 03:20AM EDT

yeah i think thats the one we got on, because when i got my shipping update that said it departed Incheon, it was prior to the second flight taking off
Your tracking updates are identical to mine. I'm guessing that our phones are on flight UPS99.
Your phone was on the earlier flight UPS97 because UPS99 hasn't landed yet. Your phone could come tomorrow. Did they give you a new delivery date?
No new delivery date yet. Still "unknown."
Just checked tracking and it departed Alaska about an hour ago!
I got a Verizon model through iUP, phone shipped yesterday and is moving about China at the moment
Hoping that's the flight, since it'll get in plenty early to get on the flight to my local airport for delivery tomorrow.
I don't see how it'll be delivered on time. I chatted with Apple and they told me it'll be delivered on the 4th instead, even though UPS still shows nothing.

Yea, I've come to the same conclusion. I've waited this long – one more day won't matter. It'll be worth the wait.
Man, I just looked at the shipping dates for the black 128 7+ and they're shipping from today to 11/7. If I'd only just waited instead of being impatient, I'd have one by next week. Now I'm stuck with a 7 unless I'm stupid enough to do another upgrade since my 14 days are up for exchange. It sounds stupid to complain when I've got the newest phone, but it was the one I originally wanted and I ended up settling
I can't believe that people who ordered the same model as me, but several days later have tracking numbers, while I'm still waiting...Wow I can't believe you guys haven't received your phone yet.
