Glad to be in the US now even though I think was part of the 11:30 crew out of ZZ which means the data was definitely behind unless UPS has a new supersonic cargo plane going from ZZ to ANC in under two hours.
 
So while the rest of you track planes, orders, UPS trucks, etc, I'm staring at my order page at Apple that says "Arrives Oct. 18 - Oct. 25." A month away. Now I'm thinking I may be able to pick up an iPhone 13 Pro Max at an Apple Store long before my delivery date. While I ordered the 512GB model I'd be happy with the 256GB one. I'm currently using less than 50GB of my 256GB on my 11 Pro Max. Going to 512 was a "what the heck" decision - its only an extra $100 to double the memory. But not useful for me. The mental gymnastics needed to convince myself it was a good addition were simple: resale value. Lame, I know, but it was all I needed to justify goosing the specs for myself.

So depending on retail availability, I may have my 13 Pro Max (in either 512 or 256GB) before my order even ships. And if there is no retail availability (a real possibility) I still have the order coming. Sounds like a master plan worthy of Dr. Evil himself. :)
 
@Wolfs Closely eyeing this flight! Come on get us out of China, please.

got a notif on monday 9:45 est that my phone is getting ready to ship but i haven't received a tracking number since then 😬, is this the 9:05 you guys are talking about?
 
@Wolfs Awww thanks! He’s an Alaskan Klee Kai! I waited 12+ years for the right timing to bring this breed home!
Love them! If he is anything like a husky he keeps you on your toes!

@TheYayAreaLiving i’m sure it has landed by now, flight aware just isn’t showing because there was no flight plan filed and it probably descended below the radar. That plane is going to go somewhere, the question is where and when. They may be gassing up, loading pallets, and heading back to Incheon.

So it's expected to go back to Incheon? Also, any clue when will we find out?
 
for us who got the departure scan at 11:30am.. if we don’t get an arrival scan within 3-4 hours (or less), that means our phones are heading to ANC. it’s over 7hr flight to Anchorage vs 1.5 hr flight to Incheon.
I got my scan around that time and a fair number of us already got the scan at ANC. You should check and see if yours was scanned.
