Do you plan on ordering the new iPhone 13 (2021) this September?

If the 12:12 crew IS on UPS91 (we'll know within a couple of hours), I would find this very interesting since it flew from ICN -> ANC overnight as well, and we never got scanned in Korea.

I originally had a later October date because of the issue with the Apple Card and the upgrade program. They ended up bumping it to release day to my surprise. No info I can find in tracking by reference though which I’d usually have by now. Apple has always been accurate for me so I’m not too worried about it.
I had the same issue with the iUP and Apple Card and they too got me a release day delivery. Same as you, can't find any shipping info. The Apple representative called me yesterday to let me know that they got me bumped to release day. I told him that there was no shipping information and he said that since the earliest delivery is Friday, would not see shipping info until late today or Thursday. Kind of makes me think that the phone is already in the States.

You’ll get the box next week
Last year I got the kit before the phone because iPhone upgrade program issues from replacing my 11 pro didn’t carry over the info so I didn’t order the 12 pro until the 27th
 
Ok, I just had something weird happen... and I'm sure no one will see this post, because everyone is so busy tracking their flights, lol. I purchased my iPhone with my Apple Card, the transaction appeared in my wallet about an hour after I made the purchase, it's been sitting, pending in my account since then. I have my order number, UPS showing that order departed Alaska last night. I wake up this morning to find my iPhone transaction gone from my wallet!! Card balance is ZERO. Everything else is still intact, however.

Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure if I've ever seen this before and perhaps it's just a temporary glitch...

EDIT: It's back in there; must have just been a temporary glitch. 🤣 😅🤪

Wow, I missed a lot last night. I'm glad that everyone seems to have left ZhengZhou now! Onwards to the USA! 🇺🇲Those who are in Louisville right now, our iPhones won't leave until tomorrow and that's when Apple will change the status to "Shipped"?

Just a note, for those who did get charged today for the "12th" (again) payment of their Citizens loan for their iPhone 12 Pro, you can try to call Citizens and have them credit you this payment. I did it this morning and they told me it'll take 5-7 days to go through. I paid the 12th payment on 9/14, got charged the early upgrade payment on 9/17 and then got charged today for a payment as that's the schedule that I'm on. My understanding is that you can get Citizens to refund a payment within 24 hours of your CC getting charged.

The pre-authorization probably fell off after a set amount of time. Apple doesn't actually charge anyone until they mark it as shipped. The pre-auths for my and my wife's phones fell out of our bank account as well. Once the devices start getting import scans and being marked as shipped, I'm sure our money will disappear. :p

You will likely not get your import scan until Thursday morning sometime. Once that happens, you should get the shipped notification from Apple.
Ah, I see. Arrival isn’t the same as import scan, then. I know I shouldn’t worry. Every year, it looks like there’s no way it’ll arrive in time, but it always shows up to my house on launch day. I don’t always remember the specific logistics and get all excited about the journey anyway lol.

Yeah, I figured that's what it was. Last year, I had TWO transactions in my wallet and one just dropped off after bit. The charge is no longer pending in my wallet now. All is good, I about had a panic attack when I saw that this morning, lol
 
You probably did get scanned and they will populate some time in the future. This happened to a lot of us last year.
Ah, good to know! That's probably exactly what happened then. Thank you! UPS 91 it is then - that's the flight that makes the most sense with our timestamps. :)

Nothing is 100%. Unfortunately Evergrande bankruptcy is disrupting everything. My order is STILL "preparing to ship" and I placed it 4 minutes after pre-orders started. I'm crossing my fingers, but reality is reality.
As long you are promised a launch date delivery date by Apple you will get it.
