Ahhh shipping label is showing up on My Choice!! Got origin scan in Shanghai!
I have a tracking # in My Choice already - yours should be appearing sometime today hopefully. If you have an account, you won’t even have to search and it shows up - at least for me it did.
Congratulations! You are one of the early birds. Giving us hope. Things are moving along. Enjoy the journey.

Soon you will be leaving China. heading towards Anchorage, Alaska. Since we are still stuck in the processing stage. We might travel with you or you might take off before us.

I haven't used the leather Apple cases for a number of years; I've been using the silicone ones, as they seem to be more "grippy". Have the leather cases gotten less slippery over the years? I'm eyeing that Wisteria one... 😍
 
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.

Morning~ Mine is the same status as yours for the same exact thing. I hope soon.
 
I got a text from FedEx. Could this be my iPhone? It says it weighs 2 lbs. I don’t think I’m expecting any other packages. But I wouldn't think it would be coming from Utah, and I would think the delivery date would be later

I doubt it. The expected delivery date is on Sept 21. Did you order a case?

You can also call FEDEX and find out who the shipper is and where it's coming from ;)
 
Where did you get a back screen protector?
I just ordered the iPhone 12 Pro Max for rear SP for now. Couldn't find any 13's.

I ordered mine as in-store pickup after last year’s delivery hick up with UPS. They initially lost the tracking of my new phone as they arrived in my city area distribution hub, which were meant to arrive on launch day then it disappeared through the weekend. After talking on the phone with both UPS and Apple, it magically showed up and delivered on next Tuesday. It did not feel great to have the iUP return box delivered before the new phone arrives.
 
US citizen based in China. Ordered a Black Mini for launch day pick up. Chinese love them some Maxes, those are back ordered till Nov while every mini or every option is still available for launch day.
 
I’ve used Peel cases and screen protectors for years and have never had any yellowing. I believe that they are also having a 20% off sale using the code “13BUNDLE”

The code didn’t work, but I ordered anyway. Trying out the clear soft case. Not a fan of having the hard material around the edges since I like to remove my cases fairly often. Looking forward to it!
 
@Limeybastid GM! You have to play some detective role today and let us know what in the world people in the UK will talk about, LOL. Possibly what topic and what interesting conversations they will be having. I'm sure they will have 25K-50K posts today. Someone created a graph over there too. Smart people. 🕵️‍♂️

You can change it to be held at the UPS hub and go pick it up they would have probably found it faster
 
If the delivery date showed the 24th when you ordered it, I wouldn’t worry. I’m sure the phones are being shipped out from China in batches.

Not sure why Apple decided to do worldwide launch this year instead of waves like before, a lot of people didn't get what they wanted
