I'm assuming everything is being shipped next day air saver. So it will fly from KY to SAT, not get trucked. Ground from KY to SAT is 3 days so if it was going that way it would already be scanned and en route.
Got a tip for us?

I really hope this is the case with my 64gb Silver. I got charged early this morning, and hoping for a change in status on My Tmobile soon if not later this evening. Temporarily using a super old galaxy phone since I just sold my 7 plus. Really hope it comes in on Friday hahaha. I did get my Apple silicone case today though!
Mine changed to Shipped on Monday, I have it in my UPS calendar, but it's still just "An UPS label has been printed yadayada" - so it's been packed, but UPS hasn't gotten it yet. Origin is Louisville, so I'm not worried and expect it to update tomorrow and travel from Louisville to LA tomorrow night.
They'd better not lose it

Anyone have experience with launch day in Hawaii? I didn’t preorder the X, but wonder if the tmobile store up the road in Maui may have them at launch.
Anyone else worried about their phone getting stolen? I just had something delivered by ups next day air and it came at 10am. I’m worried about my phone coming at 10am because my daughter won’t get home till 3pm. So it will be there for five hours.
He’s not at work in the middle of the night when I’m doing the pre-orders for us both.
That’s bs. Go to Twitter and reach out to Art Lucero and see what he can do. His team helped me last year when my iPhone was sitting in a warehouse instead of on its way to me.
I had exactly the same date for my girlfriend’s phone but I got charged on Tuesday. However, the website still saying it’s in progress.
Interesting that the demo phone has a Face ID app on it. I wonder if Apple controls the wiping of the phone every day / night as well with their MDM.
Well actually they charged me on saturday. I had to *fix* something in the payment method. But the delivery date never changed. Will they honor the delivery date?
If you fixed it on Saturday and you got charged you should be fine. Reading all the horror stories about banks rejecting charges recently and still not getting charged that all would be a reason to doubt a delivery date. They will honor the dates you received in your order. Now, if t-mo gets more stock and you get it earlier that’s a different story.
That app is strictly for demo purposes; the phone resets overnight (photos, etc.) and that app allows customers to test out the feature. That's run by the demo software that comes installed from Apple. I'm not at my store today - that's one of my reps in the photo - but I went to another store today to play around with it in the back area. You can go through the setup and then unlock the device with your face. After a few minutes, it seems to auto clear and is ready for the next face.
Yeah, I definitely got charged. So just waiting for a tracking number from Apple.
As a side note, I've order the T-Mobile model (paid in full) but I'll use it with my carrier back in my country. Do I need a t-mobile sim the first time? or is it the same?
Still "Running". To be fair to TMobile, my order from the Apple Store charged my credit card and is still show "Preparing for Shipment". Both say expected delivery is 11/3.
You don’t need to activate it with T-Mobile as far as I know. You do however, have to make sure to request an unlock from T-Mobile since your phone is fully paid off. I’m not sure if T-Mobile iPhones are unlocked like the Verizon ones. I have Verizon. I’m only in this thread because I bought my girlfriend a phone for her account.
When they agree to unlock your phone, you will get the following email within 48 hrs:
"Unlock Code: SEE BELOW

Got to play with a X today. It really feels awesome in real life. Screen is phenomenal
I think a signature is required for this delivery. You should have UPS update it to leave it at the CC or you'll end up waiting another day.
