Good morning beautiful people and Happy Saturday!!!
It is Saturday, September 18, 2021, at 6:11 AM.
It has been over just a little over 24 hours since we have placed our orders. I was finally able to catch some sleep but still a little restless. Sadly, I did not see any movement in my order. However, today is the day. Today, we are expecting "Preparing to Ship" status for the majority of us. From there we will not be able to cancel our orders as Apple will be looking to assign unique SKU #s along with a barcode of the iPhone 13. We just have to keep checking throughout the day and report it back here. I hope everyone is going to have a good and productive day.

Did anyone else get an email from Apple that their case is delayed? Mine was originally supposed to be delivered this Tuesday but the email now says 9/29-10/1 
Nope, already got my silicone caseDid anyone else get an email from Apple that their case is delayed? Mine was originally supposed to be delivered this Tuesday but the email now says 9/29-10/1
If apple says 24th then it’s the 24th I think the progress bar and everything associated with it may break on iPhone weekend
Not my Wisteria Leather... now also shows preparing to ship.Did anyone else get an email from Apple that their case is delayed? Mine was originally supposed to be delivered this Tuesday but the email now says 9/29-10/1
Understood... but waiting until I can see it on UPS My Choice to see if I can change to Pick Up at UPS Center.
Before going to bed last night I sent out a massive internal email to the International Aviation department to Cargolux. Cargolux Airlines will be carrying out our iPhones. Transporting it from China to Anchorage. I am very happy to report I got a response from a personnel name Kevin.
Below is the set and confirmed internal/confidential schedule for the flight availability over the weekend. Expecting Departure Scan status based on the set/finalized schedule below.
I have a feeling for the majority of us On 09/20/2021 Flight 9781 CGO > ANC will be carrying our iPhones. It is scheduled for tomorrow.
Along with that, I was able to get assurance and a confirmed confirmation.
Those of you who don't know. This is what our plane will look like. Carrying pallets and pallets of iPhones.

Be careful. If it isn't a Customer Service Center, they get delayed by a day when you hold. Know this from personal experience and from others on here in the past.
So its my first time going to the Apple store to pick up my iPhone 13 pro max on release date. Does anyone know if there is a chance that they may not have mine on the release date. I got my order in right at 8 am est on preorder day and choose a pickup window. I should be good right? Ordered iPhone 13 Pro Max Sierra Blue 256GB
That will not change until iphone clears customs in KY on Wed or Thursday regardless of having ups tracking. Apple does not change it until phones are here in USA
I didn't get an email, but the same thing happened with my case.Did anyone else get an email from Apple that their case is delayed? Mine was originally supposed to be delivered this Tuesday but the email now says 9/29-10/1
That is 100% correct! The best source is to check UPS as Apple freezes the tracking until Thursday.
I received a $300 off offer from my carrier last night on the phone I ordered yesterday morning. It's too late to cancel the order though. What to do?
Good morning, y'all. I hope everyone got some good sleep. My 512gb Graphite 13 PM is still in processing. I think the vast majority of the 512GB and 1TB models are still in processing.
Really expecting UPS tracking to show up today for all of us. I don't want to wait till tomorrow.
Mine is preparing to ship but both don't mean a thing at this time ,as the status can change at any time. If you have delivery on the 24th you are good
Agreed - I think we see movement for most of us later today.
Last year we saw it on Sunday around 04:00PST. It was brutal, haha! I'll never forget.
Finally both orders are Preparing to Ship! 😬
As promised, we are all receiving our iPhones on the 24th. That's the bottom line. However, Apple and UPS didn't say we can't track our iPhones together till the 24th
