Question for folks. Is anyone planning on *not* restoring from a backup? I’m actually looking forward to starting with a clean slate this time around and setting up as new. I can’t help but imagine a lot of software gunk hanging around in my backups that I’ve kept up with since my iPhone 5, lol.
This is my plan. I like to start from scratch every couple of years to get rid of the cruft.
 
You should be able to track it down based on the time and match it up easily. @FlightLevel310 Captain can also help. Ontario is a very busy airport, ha!
There are two flights leaving Kentucky to Ontario California later this afternoon probably around maybe 12 o’clock our time Pacific time. I expect that my phone will be on one of those flights and there is only one flight going to LAX around the same time so my phone is going to be on one of those so in total today there are three flights coming to Los Angeles area as I said one to LAX two to Ontario

Finally got the email from Apple that my iPhone is on its way. It confirmed what I’ve been tracking since yesterday on UPS.
Yep from other side of the flatlands of CU. Lucky you. It took me 5 minutes to get in with all apps open and Safari apple store open phone loaded first. Still had to re-enter the stupid card number and security code I did couple days earlier and in that time slipped from Tomorrow to 10/6 to 10/11. Now I am tied down to a week stretch in busy month rather than one specific day until my phone ships probably next weekend, enjoy your phone. I prefer opening day (besides fun of having new phone right away) as October has two fossil/rock shows I help friend sell at, birthday for one granddaughter and other things going on. My wife was supposed to go to Bloomington Normal to watch grandson for couple days and return during later part of that 10/6 to 10/11 window. October is always like that, not getting opening day is truly a first world headache LOL

If you look at the tracking history it probably started its journey on the 19th
Sorry that was meant to be tongue-in-cheek...

As in, I could imagine the rest of the world, who doesn't follow these threads sitting there and then getting this email and saying "It's about time!" or "You think it will make it"
 
NYC Emergency Management has just issued a travel advisory from 4 PM today until 8 AM tomorrow. Heavy rain, scattered thunderstorms, potential flash flooding. Crap...


Any idea how far in advance the stores get the devices in-hand? I would imagine they need a little time to get their inventory organized before the madness that tomorrow will bring.

Fingers crossed the NYC area stores get theirs before 4 p.m. today, as I'm now having visions of my poor 13PM stranded on a truck sitting at the top of the helix leading into the Lincoln Tunnel when I'm supposed to be picking it up tomorrow.

I think we should all buy another iPhone next week, just for the sake of keeping this thread rolling at max 😁😉
I will help take care of that need LOL. Those of us who at 5 past or later got pushed to 10/6 or later we will be around to do our part for this thread LOL enjoy your new phones everyone, will be joining you in that adventure in another week or two.

Last time I tried this I lost access to all of my prior Health and Watch data but it may have improved since then.
 
Well I tried to go through the pickup options and only gave me the UPS store or other retailers like CVS. Guess mine must be closed due to Covid
Have you tried contacting UPS Customer Service or emailing them? The UPS CC selection on "Pick up" option has been removed intentionally by UPS. You can only request it by contacting them then they will. Kind of doesn't make sense why you can only request it by phone or email.
 
Landed Successfully at Louisville, Kentucky airport!!!

06:05 Crew! Welcome, and it's a touchdown! We have landed safely and successfully.

I will see all of you at Louisville, Kentucky airport. Let’s all gather around and reunite before we chase down our last flight of this wonderful journey.

Come say hi and hangout with me at the airport before you take off to your final destination 🤗🥃🥂🍾🍹🤗🛬

Ups removed the pickup at CC option from the website last year when covid started. It’s still an option you just either have to email them and put the request in. Call customer service and have them put the request in. Or drive to your CC today and have them do the request there.
 
I chose not to pre order the iPhone 13 Pro Max, keeping my iPhone 12 Pro Max.
I'm getting the 13 Pro Max; I wish that I could have kept my X going for a few more years until the second or third iteration of a folding iPhone. Alas, the lazy river.

In other thoughts for Bay Area parents waiting for the stork, we've got three possibilities since the stork lands in Oakland and not SFO.

Anyone care to wager whether we're on door 1,2, or 3?
Door 1: UPS2948 departs Thu 02:53PM EDT and arrives 04:22PM PDT
Door 2: UPS2444 departs Thu 03:30PM EDT and arrives 05:03PM PDT
-or-
Door 3: UPS2946 departs Thu 03:52PM EDT and arrives 05:20PM PDT

I'd lay odds on Door 3.
