Yeah I have no idea how apple figures out demand and preproduction lots of guesses but never seem spot on. The google poll shared here showed that only 5 percent (at that time) were going to order 1 TB and the smaller memory was far more popular.
Well my little poll shows that sierra blue was by far most popular and gained the most opening day deliveries for folks. Where as the graphite had highest number of us waiting to the later dates. I think that it was a combo of choosing the wrong color for me vs the new sierra blue which might have made the final difference in my missing out I wish there were a way for us IUP folks to know that and choose models in the preapproval and check out that guaranteed more of a likelihood of scoring for opening day.
No movement on LX-VCD yet. However, there are 3 flights scheduled to GCO over the next 21 hours or so. Cargo doesn't have to worry about being on time as much (boxes tend not to complain). I'd imagine it is the one going out in under 6 hours, but it is just speculation. They could have swapped a tail as well.@FlightLevel310 The flight landed almost 4 hours ago in Luxembourg. Any idea where this Cargo plane is at? Or has it made its way to China already?

Long time lurker for these events, first time poster. I see a lot of you are becoming flight tracking enthusiasts. I thought I'd provide a little more input for that CargoLux flight schedule that was posted the other day. I have access to a few more features than the average FlightAware user...forums.macrumors.com
Thank you for sharing that.
I agree, It's a possibility CLX 4481 or CLX 8741 might be the one carrying out our iPhones.
Is it still legal for the great citizens in Australia to get a new IPhone?
I am the co-pilot with Cargolux , and every year when new iPhone release , I have to come here to see my future schedule flight , because y'all are awesome to track those flight . LOLZ
anyway , my card just got charged on both iPhone for Apple Store pick up this Friday

Hi co-pilot 👨✈️ Help us out
Depends on if you are a wanker or not.
Although probably just regularly scheduled flights...two more Cargolux descending into GCO. One from Russia and one from Korea. Tail numbers LX-TCV and LX-OCV. Might be worth looking for the outbound possibly.
At a party, do you know how to tell if there is a pilot in the room?
They are using UPS. Since it is an international shipment... to transfer pallets of iPhones from China to the USA. Apple has a contract with Cargolux to ship them to Anchorage, Alaska. Once it arrives to Anchorage. It stops for a re-fuel and goes to KY. This is where it gets transferred to UPS planes. You will see a final destination scan code.
Keep in mind Louisville, Kentucky is UPS's Hometown. It employees well over 20,000 UPS employees just in Kentucky. It is the main sorting facility.
When you see a destination scan it is going through the container. All that takes 45 minutes.

This article explains further in detail. It's worth checking out.

About half of all iPhones are made in a facility in China that can churn out 500,000 devices a day with the help of over 300,000 employees. Here's how a phone made there can end up in your hands.

People have been telling me they use Cargolux for the first leg of the journey. There aren't UPS flights out of GCO. UPS can probably pick up the slack once they reach Anchorage.
It happened with the 4 for a few people. That’s the last time I heard of it happening.
So, it seems eSIM vs. physical SIM is truly up to personal preference and not really a functional issue... at least I haven't seen any responses to the contrary.
Fighting over a penny? For those that don’t know, that’s how copper wire is made.
Who els is excited for Tuesday when the embargo releases 😬 the content should help hold us over lol.
I was just thinking in years past there were UPS flight numbers we tracked in China
If there is a pilot at a party, they'll let you know. 😅
They'll make it sit until Friday. Sorry. Apple doesn't like early deliveries.
