As I explained to my family, this is a core part of the launch fun. I don't come around this forum much, but I always do for launch. Because we're all here together, devoting time and attention to something that is really unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but we're doing it together. It's like the launch lines used to be.

Not important? Lol we have and android lover y’all ! lol jk
 
I wrote a poem to commemorate the occasion:


The night before pre-order, on my iPhone in bed,
Do I get the Pro Max, or the Pro instead?
The pre-order is set, I can now go to sleep,
But what of my 12, should I sell it or keep?

The day is here! I'm ready to order!
The app or website, which wait will be shorter?
Refreshing like mad, there's no time to waste,
The page finally loads, my order is placed!

Now to Mac Rumors, to share how I fared,
Only to find the prepared have despaired.
"The iPhone Upgrade Program has let me down!"
I'll try my luck at the Apple Store in town."

Next week on Wednesday the reviewers will drop,
Thoughts on the iPhone, a win or a flop?
What about colors? My choice I rethink.
Don't ask Justine; she always says pink.

Now a week later, the wait I can't stand,
I have a Pro Max right here in my hand.
The excitement wanes quickly, for now that I squint,
What the hell? Is that a green tint?

Back to MacRumors, "Is it only me?"
It's definitely there, we all can agree.
Maybe they'll fix it with a point one update.
"Is it software or hardware?" will be the debate.

This week is my favorite that's not holiday,
The kid in me can come out to play.
Few understand this, and yet we are proud,
The nerds, the geeks, the Mac Rumors crowd.
Brilliant 🥳🥳🥳

My dumba$$ forgot to add AC ar checkout. I had to cancel and reorder. Picking up on Sunday. Bought 2 minis this time around to compare just in case 1 has issues.
Oops, you can add Apple Care after the fact for up to 60 days remotely or up to 1 year after purchase if you bring it in to an Apple Store for inspection.
 
Any way I can get the full tracking info? It says “preparing to ship” on Apple, but under UPS MyChoice, it only gives me the last four digits of the tracking number.
If you have UPS MY CHOICE you will see it.
My Pro Max has been stuck in China for over a day.
Delivery is still scheduled for Friday

Thank you! Not sure if anyone is interested in the follow up, but I was able to crack the tracking number! I found out that the last digit of the tracking number that is visible in the reference view is a checksum. That, along with the shipper number, reduced the number of possible tracking numbers by a power of ten. After a little python and a few hundred API calls, I'm now able to obsessively refresh my tracking all week. :) Like others, my last scan was also ZhengZhou at 4:50 PM. (I don't know what else I was expecting, haha.)
 
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade... But last year my phone appeared to be "stuck" in ZengZhou and then finally got an import scan in Louisville, KY on Thursday and then all the scans I didn't see finally loaded in.

@TheYayAreaLiving, hit up your sources. Let us know if you find out about any more flights showing up.
You got it but it seems like it’s going to appear tomorrow now. Tomorrow might be the final day. 4:50 and 6:05 crew will be departing tomorrow.

One thing I can promise we will get on a express air lane. Expecting back to back scanning.

One more thing… CargoLux sources confirmed 3 back to back flights. 4:50 and 6:05 crew took a L 👎on top 2 flights.

We witness flight 9781 today taking off and seems like it doesn’t carry any of our iPhones. 😿

Flight #9761 CGO to ANC is reported to department tomorrow. I’m 99% sure that’s going to be our final plane. As this is the last plane CargoLux has posted via internal system.

Expecting no delays…

Nice cans. I have a set of Sundaras 2020 Edition.

Well, tonight I ordered:

Chemical Guys HOL148 16-Piece Arsenal Builder Car Wash Kit

Griot's Garage 11075 One-Step Sealant

Wax applicators

Microfiber Car Cloths

Knockoff Red Braided Loop Watch Band


I didn't order these because of the iPhone order, but it was a weird coinkidink.
