👏 Congratulations to everyone who received their iPhone on Friday, September 24th, 2021! 📱

Hello all,

Looks like our dear great friend all the way in London, United Kingdom 🌏, iPhone 13 (2021) thread has started already...

Place your order here: Apple.com site.

The iPhone 13 Movement...

Once our orders move to process we should start seeing some movement to 'Preparing For Shipment' over the weekend.

Once this happens you should be able to get details on your phone and let the tracking begin!

Here are some notes to help track orders:

If your phone status has changed to "Shipped", you can view the invoice on the Apple site.

That invoice has the serial number on it.

Go to Apple.com, then pick the ORDERS page (the little "shopping bag" icon at the far right on the home page... go to your orders page). Now, login, and find your iPhone order... and click on Print All Invoices to see your shiny new iPhone serial number.

You can look up the week of manufacture and factory here, using the serial number:


or


Link to track your iPhone via UPS:

https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&requester=ST/



Another way to find it, enter your phone number + zip:


If your phone number isn’t working for UPS tracking, use your order number but subtract the last two numbers/letters. Say your order number is: W123456789, you'd put in: W1234567 - make sure to use the tracking by reference feature.

Aviation Flight Information:

When you see the time that your flight leaves China (make sure that the UPS or FedEx info is showing it per China time, or do the math), and you can usually narrow it down

For those of you that are not familiar with doing this here's how you can check your order.

Go to UPS's website. Go to tracking. Go to track by reference number. Put the cell phone number associated with your order in as the reference number. Put your ZIP Code. Put your country. Hit the track package button. If your phone has shipped it'll come up on UPS's website.

Good luck and All the Best!!!

Looks like Apple will be offering new set of colors this year. I'm very happy to hear that.

All the matte black owners will be happy this year.

If that Sunset Gold is more orange than it is gold then that just might be the colour I get. Otherwise I think I'm leaning towards silver.

Silver is the best. I hope it's not gold and it's more like Bronze Orange almost like peach color. Can't go wrong with a Matte black option either.

Looking forward to the iPhone 13 mini, performance/features/price wise.

Still rocking an iPhone 11 Pro Max so I'm not too far behind in upgrades 😊
Ill keep an eye but i plan to skip this years model.
I hope Apple surprises us in the month of September. There's a huge order in place. I'm sure Apple has been working very hard to make the best phone in this planet.
 
I am do for an upgrade from my 11 pro max this year, so I probably will upgrade to the iphone 12 Pro S or iPhone 13 whatever they call it this year unless it's REALLY underwhelming and not worth upgrading. Looking forward to the annual iphone event this September ha.

Welcome back! Happy to see you here. I remember you from last year hehehe :)

It feels like I just got the 12, whew. Not sure if I’ll be able to order in September… I’m on iUP and not keen to make an extra payment just to be able to upgrade in September.
 
I’m in! I’m still in love with the silver, but I will wait to see what colors are actually introduced this year before I make a final decision. I have to say though that I‘ve yet to use a case with the phone, and it is simply stunning! @TheYayAreaLiving I’m glad you started this thread and I‘m looking forward to another year of obsessive stalking 🤪.

That's the plan each year. Outdo the previous iPhone, also dubbed as the best phone on the planet in their circles. We'll see an iPhone 13 that is very similar to the iPhone 12. Enjoy.

@beach bum, Yay! Welcome back, friend. So happy to see you back here. I hope all is well with you. I have been using my iPhone caseless since the day I pre-ordered it last year. You're right, it's stunning.

September is going to be a great month as we get to share the excitement together. This is like getting our family back together. I'm so stoked and cannot wait to share the excitement :)

i’m currently on the XS Max and been waiting to upgrade. my main issues with my current phone is the intel modem (causing me cellular issues), battery life, and lack of wide angle camera

going to upgrade to the 12S Pro Max/13 Pro Max. hopefully they keep the same gold color as the 12 Pro Max but it’s looking like the new “sunset gold” is going to be the new color that replaces it. :/

hopefully the new sunset gold is good or ill just go back to the regular matte black option

features i’m most excited about upgrading are 120hz (might not upgrade if 120hz is missing), cameras, battery life, and other quality of life upgrades.

This year it will be a super cycle for the iPhone. So, I’m sure it will be a worthy upgrade.

More interested in how the XR or 11 prices will be when the 13 is out since Apple's pricing is out of whack over here. Currently the base 12 Pro is "on sale" for $1200 in my country... 🙃

Obviously those 2 phones will still be available through 3rd party sellers until stock are gone but I would be willing to bet money the Xr is as good as gone from the official Apple website when the new lineup launches. I am pretty sure the 11 will be as well. If they keep those around and lower prices anymore they'll start to cannibalizing the other phone sales.

I think you may be right about the 11 but I wonder if the XR gets an update this year?

Keeping it as a model with updates every 1-2 years like the SE could be a great idea.
