you will not get it early. Part of the deal is for phones to stay locked up till Thursday. Since they are in batches they won't be released individually till that date.

Oh yea I know. But I personally know two people that got their phones a day early in the past. One of my co workers got their iPhone 7 Plus the day before the scheduled release day. Another friend on a forum similar to this got their iphone X delivered a day early as well.
 
Anyone else get an email from Citizens bank for September’s payment? Mine still shows that my final 12 Pro payment be processed on 9/22.
No additional email from citizens For September payment. I was charged just for the tax though.
 
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.
Seems to be the people that updated through OTA have tons of issues but if you go through a Mac and update through finder then seems to be little to no bugs..Let’s hope Apple fixes whatever happens when you do it through OTA today if not there will several upset people ..

Congratulations on upgrading! Just call AT&T and when you get to speak to a live person. Request, if you can have a new G Nano Sim card sent to you for iPhone 13 Pro Max (Make sure you verify your phone #). Also, let them know if they can expedite the order for you. If you have been with AT&T for a long time... Tell them, you've been a loyal customer can you waive it, please? Mostly like they will. You have to remind them to have it delivered to you overnight.
If you already have a nano SIM, you can just pop it out current phone and put in new phone. I’ve been using the same SIM card since the iPhone X. I’m on AT&T.
 
I got a response back from UPS e-mail that they will put in a request for a UPS CC pick up.
I emailed UPS and was flat out told that holding at the CC was not an option. It sounds like its a decision made by the service rep handling the email. Damn Rat that replied to my email request. 🤬😡🤯😤
 
Good morning and Happy Monday!

It is September 20, 2021, 06:04 AM right now in Las Vegas, Nevada. Currently 90 degrees. The last night I woke up at 02:00 AM and 04:00 AM to checked the UPS 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.

LX-VCD is descending into Dubai by the looks of it. Definitely not our aircraft unless it’s getting delayed by a day. I’ll take a look at more information in a few. The thread got busy while I wasn’t in the air.

I’m not sure why CargoLux from CGO to PANC is not showing up still. What is going on over there?
 
Actually the flight may be around 10:15 am eastern around 11:15 pm it’s UPS 99 on flight radar and it’s delayed because it was waiting for the phones

Unfortunately, after speaking with a couple of the counter clerks at my local UPS CC, they said that UPS Corporate intentionally removed the Customer Counter option from My Choice for all deliveries (not just Apple and iPhones) in order to keep staffing levels low at the Customer Counter. Not sure if that is COVID-related, or just to save bucks.. This has been the case and my experience for at least the past year at my local UPS CC. If you can manage to get someone on the phone, you MIGHT be able to get a rep to redirect it there.
 
That’s what I saw too. So essentially it’s looking like a double (triple for those who made a manual payment) charge of the final payment right now. Hopefully they cancel the 9/22 charges.
I just logged into Citizens One Loan - my current 12P loan says "on hold" with in red lettering and a box. My 13PM loan filled out - showing full cost of phone + AppleCare with next payment due 10/17. First payment charges on official Apple Shipped status I believe. This is definitely a change for my IUP loans from yesterday. I also pre-paid my 12th payment early (around 9/02).

My local CC has Access Point Lockers now as a pickup option. Never used the lockers so I don’t know if it causes a delay but having done a CC pickup once I understand why they’d move away from offering that.
 
Wifey’s (4:50 crew) on the move, mine (6:05 crew)is still in China.

Did you use that iPhone to preorder the 13? 😂👍🏼👍🙏
If-when the site actually loaded on that thing...(before blowing up, *battery was really feeling hot as this page was loading) - Yeah I think I would have finished the pre-order process in 3 hours?? 😂

My 12 ProMax Apple Store app for the pre-order was a bit sluggish this year.
Just heavy traffic at 8am ET I assume.
