If you want to track the UPS truck that’s delivering in real time, try pkge.net app. It will show you on a map exactly where the truck is.
I don't see a map option on the website. Is the app required for the map function?
 
My window for my return box is 9:40-1:45 but OMG Apple Santa was here early. Super cute UPS guy, was so thankful for the drinks and treats I had for him. Can’t wait to dig into this pile

Seems dumb. By logistics makes more sense to have these on 3 different trucks and route each the most efficient way to get delivered as fast as possible.
We literally had 3 separate deliveries from UPS yesterday, 2 from one driver and 1 from a different one. My husband’s business is in our home so he gets stuff all the time, but that seemed a tad excessive to me.

I got to the apple store at 7:50 for my 8am appt. About 10 people were on the walk in line and I was the second person on the reservation line; most of us appearing as if we just rolled out of bed. When we walked in the entire staff was lined up and clapping and we basically stood there like zombies (because morning) grunting something like “what do we do now?” through our masks. It was very super awkward but we all eventually morphed into pairs and got our devices.

I got a random gift card refund for a balance of the trade in. It said taxes. Not sure why they couldn’t apply it to the phone balance and it was too early for me to formulate the words to ask.
The restore from iCloud is taking FOREVER (I had to use safari to call an Uber to get home) so I’m going to get off macrumors until it’s done lol.
 
@WhoDatWayne asked for a review of the ESR Armorite screen protector. First time using this, but heard good things about ESR and I liked that only the top speaker is exposed. Didn’t pay attention that this is near edge-to-edge wit’s just a sliver of room so it won’t lift if you wear a case.

Easy, easy, easy install. Got it on the first try. It formed to the iPhone’s screen as if it was the final layer that wasn’t added during manufacturing. Barely Needed to smooth it out on my own. No bubbles at all.

Since I have used Spigen Glas.tr for the past 2 years, I can tell a slight difference in feel of the glass. The Spigen on my 12PM feels slicker by a hair, but it is also the same screen protector that has been installed since launch day. The more I touch the ESR, the more the difference diminishes.

So far, I’m impressed. The true test will be longevity over time, but since this ESR protector is rated at 110lbs, I expect it should hold up well.

Added a pic showing the Apple leather case since I know that‘s what many will use.

Hope this helps!

It appears to only be working sporadically this year and not for everybody. I’ve been able to use it each of the last 3-4 years and can’t today. It doesn’t appear as an option and crashes the app immediately if you try to access that way.
