@laffnvegas - Since you're looking, I also bought this one at the same time as the Coolwee case. It's a Velvet Caviar. I never got the VC hype because I never saw designs that appealed to me, but looks like they made a glitter case this year. I only need one so I'll decide which one I'll keep when they are all together. it's definitely going to need to be worth $30 for me to keep it.

I think I saved that one but the price was too steep for me 😉
Damn

Have they implemented true full screen Safari browsing in portrait mode yet? With full screen I mean losing the battery and clock icons when reading web pages. Similar to when viewing pages in reading mode for example .
like this?

Looking back to my XS Max preorder. That phone left China on the 21st in China time and was delivered on the 21st here in America. It’s crazy what UPS can do to get these phones delivered.
I was looking at my XS Max UPS email.

Departed ZZ on Wed. 19th
Delivered on the Fri. 21st
(3 years ago today, wow)

The one thing that is a minor concern, some are getting these Delivery changes. Booted from Friday to next week? What is that about?
 
You are so lucky. While not level of trouble you experienced I still found the delays and issues of getting orders in before 6 past cost me opening day and still stuck at 10/6 to 10/11. I also complained at have discussed my concerns and problems with one of the same level of employees as you after my letter to Tim Cook. Unfortunately I am not getting mine early making me wonder about continuing in the IUP process after my 13 ProMax arrives. May skip this for a couple of years just to avoid the hassle and frustration of trying to get new phones. I am seeing less and less advantages to continue. So I am unhappy with service I received obviously
Sorry that you had troubles and delays with getting your order in.

I hope that your delivery date is improved!

I saw that as well and may consider later. I like to change them up once in a while. I am definitely going to return the Apple case I got. I think I did this same thing 2 years ago :D Just wanted to make sure I had a case when the phone arrived on the 24th.

Could you please post a link to this case? I'm not finding it on Amazon. Thanks!!
 
My sources in the shipping industry have just informed me that Apple won’t be providing tracking numbers it estimated delivery dates next year, so we won’t know when the phone is coming until it shows up.
I didn't get my tracking number from Apple. Actually I still don't have one from Apple. My info is from UPS My Choice so if I upgrade next year it will be interesting to see what information I will see.

I am really confused... while you all over here in apple.com are posting about your phones being in China still, but meanwhile over in T-Mobile thread we are discussing about a T-Mobile Executive tweeting they already have a huge batch of the new iPhones.

Unless I am missing some key fact that, then its mind blowing that a carrier would have them in their US warehouse before Apple even has them in the country.

4 more days until I officially say goodbye to this one. I really hope the trade in credit for this is indeed $790. I took good care of this, no scratch, no dents. In perfect condition. Only used for 10 months and 25 days.
