Man….for the first time ever I ordered from Verizon.com instead of the Apple Store app so I can’t fully enjoy the ride with the rest of you guys but I’ll be following along and living vicariously through you guys. Apparently I had a balance I had to pay to upgrade (about $150) and I couldn’t process that on the Apple side smh. Anywho, paid off balance and was able to place a release day order around 8:05AM EST. Hope all goes well with everyone’s orders and again Enjoy the ride 😃

13 Pro. Silver 256 GB (Verizon.com)
 
Good morning and Happy Monday!

It is September 20, 2021, 06:04 AM right now in Las Vegas, Nevada. Currently 90 degrees. Last night I woke up at 02:00 AM and 04:00 AM to check the UPS App and I didn't see any scans. I'm seeing now some of you are reporting a "Departure Scan"... Congratulations!!!! You are out of China. It also looks like it is not from Cargolux. I'm not sure what approach is Apple taking this year but this is definitely not normal. The good thing is some of you are out. This also confirms the majority of us are still stuck in China.

Today, everyone should be expecting a DEPARTURE SCAN. I am expecting and hoping for a lot of activity today. People that have left China already. You either will go to Korea or Hong Kong so definitely taking a different route. I don't think everyone will be on the same route. Consider yourself lucky. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day today.

Also, iOS 15 drops today at 10:00PST!!! May the force be with you today and hope we are out of China today!!!!

Keep an eye out.

What info do you put in the app to see the details?
At the top, do you see a dropdown called "filter"? If you check "show hidden packages" it should show up. I recall someone being able to see their package that way.

For me, I signed into the website and then went to the "track and manage home deliveries" page and it showed up in my app after that.
 
How about some idle chatter while we wait for our flight?

How many are going to do the update to iOS 15 today (Monday) and how many are going to wait?

I will be updating all my devices whenever it goes live; I might as well get used to using it since it will be on my shiny new iPhone PM.
Not me. I heard that they are releasing the Beta and that there are still bugs to work out. I'll see what the reports say on Thursday.

No update on my 256GB 13 Pro Max from Apple — still says that it is preparing for shipment.

My moms 13 Pro that I ordered her from ATT just says “expected to ship on Thurs.”, which hopefully means it arrives on Friday.
 
It departed the facility
Woohoo! Me too.
I got a “departed from facility” scan as well. Initially, it showed 6:37 PM, then changed to 6:50 PM.
Congratulations... Some of you left China early today. You people are probably on charter flight. There is hope for all of us. Happy and safe travels. You guys are definitely taking a different route since you are not on CargoLux. Happy and safe travels again :)

I have an iPhone 12 proMax. When my 13 comes will I turn it on and it activates like it normally would with AT&T? I won’t have to do anything with it have eSim? I’m just confused. Thanks
Assuming you chose one of the carrier models and not the "connect later" model, that is correct. According to Apple, however, you will have to be on a wifi network in able to complete the activation.

Yes. Believe it does. Just needs WiFi connection to activate the E sim. I have att too. Didn’t realize iPhone 13 wasnt shipping with a physical SIM card. personally doesn’t really matter to me If it has a physical Sim card or a digital Sim card. The advantage of not having a digital Sim card is that if your phone gets stolen you don’t have to worry about deactivating your Sim card.
