They come via East Midland airport and straight into a distribution centre in Tamworth typically. They then dish them out to the various couriers. Can't remember what they are called, Styreon or something like that.
It's called having a bit of fun. Of course I know it means nada lolTo save your blood pressures, the green bar is meaningless - it only moves in relation to the label changing. If you look in the code of your order, you'll see a `currentStatus` key. Once that changes, the green bar will move, and it will look slightly different depending on your device, screen, browser size etc. I have a script checking mine every minute, because I'm a giant loser, which one day I may make available to other Apple losers to save the whole Green Bar Envy and keep everyone up to date on their extravagant purchases
Just said the same in another post. Although not so sure about the launch day phones as the USA lot can track them leaving via UPS. Like we used to be able to years ago. Take all the fun out of it now not being able to see the exact flight they are on
Finally! Same I have - Preparing for Shipping on my order 15 Pro black, from Sept 28 (Delivery placeholder Oct 24-31)
Although on my other order 15PM Black from Sept 30, with a placeholder for Oct 25+ has no movement yet. Probably it will happen tomorrow.
btw, there was no email confirmation about status change
I'm guessing it will depend on which factory/country the orders will be fulfilled from. I know there was a lot of variation when I got my launch day 15PM when they moved to preparing. No email yet but my original date was brought forward a few days. I noticed it way before I got an email about the change.Finally!

I guess it depends on where the item is. If this follows the same path as launch, preparing to ship started when they dispatched them from their factories. Actual shipped was the evening of the day before when the courier actually received the item from Hinkley. I think we'll be looking at Thursday or Friday delivery. Fingers crossed it's Wednesday
Well my order was the 22 Sep and my dates are still 10-17 Nov.Finally! Same I have - Preparing for Shipping on my order 15 Pro black, from Sept 28 (Delivery placeholder Oct 24-31)

Weird. My order date for 15PM NT was 21st Sep but window is 10-17 Nov. I reckon soon they’ll all update to be more accurate.
Does anyone know how they organise manufacture by colour and storage?
Do they do something like make Natural Titanium for a day, or two, or three, then switch to Blue/Black/White? Similarly 256/512/1024 GB. Or do they have multiple parallel lines? Or can they switch dynamically - almost device by device?
Just trying to get my head around the organisation required to produce and distribute the vast numbers of devices involved.

I doubt anyone outside of Apple and its manufacturing partners knows this unless someone has access to insider information. 🤔
You are probably right. But there does seem to be some sort of connection between colour and time to delivery.
And at least one car company produced a video which showed them able to switch colour car by car down the paint and assembly line. That is one way fragments of information sneak out.
It’s probably just the lighter colours are more popular hence longer lead times.You are probably right. But there does seem to be some sort of connection between colour and time to delivery.
