No way! That’s the exact case that I got as well. Any reason why you’re resisting temptation? Just wanting to save it until Friday?
I am getting the same case too. Will arrive on Monday. Mine is the clear one. Hope is as good as the one I have on my 11 Pro. That one has held up really well.

Really appreciate all the work you put into this! Makes the experience so much more fun!
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you get to travel safe. Get your departure scan barcode ready. We are all leaving China behind today! Once and for all until next time 😎
 
Found these old articles on "iPhone City" from where our phones are made/originating. May occupy some down time or shed some light on the people behind the making of the phones themselves.

I think last year, we even had google maps screen shots of the routes taken from the bonded area to the airport holding facilities. Here's Foxconn just north of Zhengzou airport and it even has Zhenxing Rd you're seeing on the UPS MyChoice status.

I saw that. I had all the issues last year. They all ended up arriving sooner than I expected. Hope that is the case for you!
I just think it's dumb after all these years that Apple can't put you back in line if they messed something up. AT&T has been able to do this for years.

Thanks so much!
 
Unfortunately this year I had to preorder through Verizon. I already have my tracking number and my Sierra Blue PM is sitting in PA. But I will miss this. Have fun everyone and enjoy the new iPhones.
I can never seem to get an order to work right on VZW Site. So I always order through Apple and finance through VZW. They have had the great deals lately, and I don't like financing through Apple since they don't let you pay it off online. VZW you go online and in like a minute or two, the device is paid off.

Edit: and also one of the few things I dislike about VZW is they always seem to have issues with sending my old phone back. Twice we had to call to get the trade in applied properly. It got fixed both times but took like month. Both times with Apple, we got all the emails like normal and it was done. No one had to be contacted.

You won’t see this flight show up because it was provided to me via internal source. It has not been registered in the record as of yet by the DOA (Department of Aviation). Expect to see the flight show up later today once CargoLux gets a final green light 💡 at the airport. It should show up within 8 hours from now ;).

It has to go through the checklist by DOA. It’s waiting for an approval…
Ahh. Thank you for the info. You’re the best! appreciate you.
