I received the email from UPS saying it was ready for pickup at the UPS CC at 5:00 AM this morning.. Went down there, waited 30 minutes - just to have them tell me its lost and they cant find it anywhere in the facility. Had to leave my number and they told me I may have to file a lost package claim.
Wow…just Wow.

Anyone else getting “check back for a delivery date?” Los Angeles area. It’s weird because it got to the final facility at 5:30, so you’d think it’d make it out. I wouldn’t want the new baby sitting in a warehouse all weekend.
 
Normally, my large apartment building is the last stop for my UPS person, but it seems that they're estimating that my iPhone will be delivered from 10:15am-2:15pm?!

Just glad it didn't get messed up from that weather!

The pain with this map, it's maybe a mile from me right now. But I know the driver will go somewhere else. LOL, ugh.

HOPING early...maybe I'll get lucky. But I do expect that 12:45 - maybe 3pm delivery

Ok, I’ve made the road trip to pick up my phone and it is just as stunning as my 12PM Silver. I do not regret getting this color again this year. It’s a beautiful fall morning and there were 3 people in line ahead of me for my 8am pickup. I think that per @TheYayAreaLiving request, I‘ll do home delivery next year so that I can have the fun of tracking my phone with everyone; however, that will probably be an every other year deal. So satisfying to be able to do an in-store pickup. 🥰

Was able to see the new minis, and I’m even more excited for today’s delivery by UPS! LOVE the new mini.😍

Yeah file that lost package claim, I'm sure they'll "find" it all of the sudden

Do we think I should be concerned if it was out for delivery and now its clearing customs? I think it's likely just a fluke?

Can’t wait to try out my mini!
 
Mine is out for delivery!!! Now comes the anticipation. In the meantime, I am doing some cleanup on my iPhone 6S+ to prepare it for iPhone to iPhone transfer. Will need to setup the iPhone 13 as new, do a software update, erase all contents, setup using iPhone to iPhone transfer.
OMG, I don’t know if you are even going to be able to handle the sexiness that you will be experiencing once you fire up your new baby. What an upgrade!

Happy iPhone Launch Day!!!

The Day We All Have Been Waiting for Is Finally Here!

What's today?

It is Friday, September 24th, 2021. Today is a very SPECIAL day. The most important day of the year. It is iPhone launch day.
@TheYayAreaLiving thanks for the shout out and the kind words ❤️ I love the fact that every single one of us has contributed to making this journey an informative, and more importantly, ENJOYABLE, journey to launch day.

I know we are all unique and each of us have our own perspectives and ideas on what should be going on in the world re Covid, politics, climate, etc-This has been one of the few experiences I have had IN YEARS where everyone left that stuff at the door and just united for the common goal that is iPhone launch day. I thank you all and appreciate you for that, more than you could ever know.

I can’t remember the last time I scrolled through a forum and laughed so hard I was crying. We got a bunch of comedians in here! Love being surrounded by such witty people ❤️

@ATX_wapiti I want to give a special shout out to you for cracking the UPS tracking DaVinci code-I was about to come unhinged, yet you were so kind and patient answering the same questions over and over again, and helping so many get peace of mind the last few days.

@TheYayAreaLiving thank you for
making everyone feel welcome and valued, for creating this lovely home we have here, and I can’t wait til you remodel the place and we see what it has to offer next year 😉!

Enjoy all your shiny, new pretty everyone, ❤️

Yay! Congratulations!!! Happy iPhone day!!! Yes, next year you are traveling with me from China. Be my traveling buddy. Glad you were able to pick up your iPhone. Silver is a stunning color! Great choice. Wish you lots of happiness and healthy. Today is our day!!! Keep going!!!
 
Been refreshing for what seems like forever and it’s just sitting in the truck…. Whoever my driver is, hopefully he has his coffee cuz I’m sure he’ll be delivering a bunch of phones today
I’m going through the same thing. One of my phones says it’s out for the delivery and the other says it was loaded on the truck for delivery nearly an hour ago. What worries me is that the time it was loaded on the truck is after the other was marked as out for delivery. I also received an email from UPS saying that I have a package being delivered, but it only showed the one phone. Of course there is no one to call. I just have to hope it is on the truck with the other phone.
 
For those of you have already received your phones, are you using an esim or a physical sim? Was it hard to switch over? I ordered the sim free version and was planning to use the physical sim.
