So I contacted Apple to be safe. I ordered a Pro set to be delivered on the 24th, been in Prepared To Ship since Saturday early. She said that some orders won't get updated until Thursday and those will be Next Day Air even from China. So like others have told me, I'll reiterate to those asking, if you're still waiting for a tracking number but have a Sept. 24th date, it will still make it on time.
Next day air from China isn‘t possible to your door given no nonstops, customs, airport to airport transfer, ground shipping from airports etc. She got you off the the phone smiling though.
 
I use the UPS My Choice free version and have my phone number and email registered as potential reference number criteria. Until just now it had given me the annoying "for security, no tracking number for you" error upon trying to view my shipment via reference number manually, but I just got an email from My Choice saying my package from AI just cleared customs. Boom. Tracking number in hand.

Oh dang! I had no idea you could add reference numbers to My Choice! I need to go find that option asap.
 
My husband doesn’t get it either. Lol. He upgrades when forced, either by obsolescence or damage, and not one second sooner. I’m trying to get him to upgrade his 8+ right now because the earpiece is dead, but he just uses earbuds instead. 🤨
Lol, just saw this. Same with Mr Wolfs 😂. He never used to upgrade, then would bitch when the kids and I did, saying everyone has nice stuff but him 🙄. Then he would complain that the old phone/computer couldn’t keep up with the demands of current tech.

I did con him into buying a S6 Hermès watch last year so that I could also get one, as my S0 was getting tired. Once he gets the new stuff he always loves it and is glad he did!

The three of us convinced him to join the IUP so that we could always have the latest and greatest. We just drag him kicking and screaming into the current century hahahaha.
 
It's weird I was able to pull up the shipment with a reference but it's not in my UPS My Choice. I've been a member for a while. Although I used the free version so not sure if that has something to do with it.
 
If I remember correctly from last year one of my phones didn’t get any scan history from china till Thursday am I’m hoping its the same .. I didn’t get to track on plane since I had no scans .. seems to be same this year again
 
I don't buy Apple cases either. I usually buy them and then return them. I'm an Amazon shopper and will occasionally try a brand people rave about (Peel this year). I bought the Wisteria this year because the purple is pretty, but I'm waiting until I get the phone to decide if it will be a keeper.

My husband bought one of the Otterbox cases with the pop sockets built in. It goes flat into the case, so it's non-obtrusive.
Since the design change last year, I’ve given up buying cases. The phone is just too gorgeous to hide away. 😍 Also, I figure that since I’m only going to have it for a year before upgrading again, AppleCare should take care of any mishaps… but so far, I’ve been lucky! 🤞😅
 
Omg not sure if this is true but someone that has tested the iPhone 13 camera said a 1 minute prores video takes up 6gb of storage 😳
Yeah, ProRes are insanely massive sized video files. Like RAW photos. Uncompressed.
ProRes is far more easy to edit.

One slight issue I do have with Apple keeping lightning on these phones...the videos will be slow to transfer to PC, Mac.

I can't even bring this up on my ancient iMac over here to edit (I can convert it), but this 13 second clip is 2.02GB in size. Dropped to a MP4, it becomes about 6MB.

I'll try a few clips out when this is released, but most likely won't use it often.
