Said preparing to ship
I pre order Friday 8.02 am. ( website went on 8.01)
The Apple website shows my order as "preparing to ship", but logging on to UPS My Choice showed a tracking number and shipping progress for my iPhone. So, check with UPS. You may have to create an account if you don't already have one (it's free).
 
I would totally do what you are doing and pick up my phone first thing in the morning which I have done many times in years past but last year my 12 Pro was marked as ready for pickup and when I got there the workers told me they could not give me the phone even though it was back there and it had to be delivered to the physical address and it was a mistake that it marked ready for pickup(no idea why the option was even available then). I have a feeling its more of a warehouse to warehouse decision to do that as when I still lived with my parents, the hub closest to them(next one over from the one I deal with now) never gave me issues.

Since I'm still working from home I'm going to wait it out for the truck to show up and hope it come before I start working at 3.
Well I hope we all get ours on time, of course.
My local CC opens at 11, but delivery’s where I live usually go til about 7pm on iPhone day. I always take the day off while my colleagues at att have to work Overtime on that day.😈

every year it’s the same thing, after getting off the plane in Dallas, it makes a 5 hour truck ride in the middle of the night to Lubbock. I’m usually one of the first goofballs that goes there to pickup. I just don’t trust being able to get it any quicker at an access point or UPS store. always hated that they do this on Fridays instead of Thursday, just cause of issues with delivery.🤭

that said,
About 87 hours or so til I get mine 😊
 
I just got off from work. It was such a unproductive day at work. I just spotted this secret flight which takes the employees to the secret military base… Area 51. It is landing as I’m typing this.

Apparently this plane does not exist. Yet, I manage to see it everyday.

Anyone having issues updating to iOS 15? I was on the public beta right before the RC, but now when I try and update to the main release my phone/iPad were saying anywhere from 9 hours to 3 days 💀🙄

Nope doesn't exist but yeah I've seen it too lol.
 
TheYayAreaLiving, appreciate your knowledge and insight very much! What is your gut feel on when those of us with 6:05pm will see departure?
Thanks again!
Thank you, It’s hard to say. It really is a 50/50. I really hope we all take off together. However, 04:50 crew are due to depart China first. I would be very happy to see if we leave with them. I will promise you one thing right now. All of us are expecting a “DEPARTURE SCAN” today. No one is going to be stuck in China as long you are promised a launch date by Apple.

Get ready to leave China behind. So many people are leaving already.

That’s after they drop off mine in Abilene. I’m glad my UPS center opens at 8 here.
