Waiting on the truck to get here. I’ve no idea where he is. I try to use Follow Your Delivery, and it just closes the app. It sucks. I can’t go anywhere as there have been porch thefts locally on ordinary days. You know that they’ll be following the trucks on iPhone day.
Just use the website instead of the app, that's working fine.

That's amazing. I won't mention how much apartments are here to buy. I think a whole townhouse is like at least 3 million if you want it in good shape! I grew up in the suburbs (Long lsland), so there are definitely times I miss living in a house. However, in the city we never have to worry about shoveling snow or driving. I walk or take the subway everywhere. I live with my boyfriend so it's our little shoebox apartment. At least our apartment has an in-unit washer and dryer! Can you believe that's an amenity in the city? There are some apartment buildings that don't even have washers/dryers in the basement so people do laundry at laundromats or send it out and pay like $50 for laundry. Anyway, I think it's worth it! Come visit soon!!!!
I'd pay $50 for someone to do my laundry right now. For some reason, I'm about a week behind.

Whelp, after contacting UPS support yesterday and them confirming that delivery receipt signature isn't required (which I reached out to confirm since the tracking info doesn't say anything this year about signature required), tracking just updated and said that no one was available to receive the delivery and they'll attempt again on Monday. Total ********.

You know how the UPS/FedEx/ANY delivery will NEVER show while you're watching for them? As though it was somehow not allowed that one see the delivery truck arriving?

Well I've got eyes on the only place the UPS truck can stop.

What are the odds that I can break UPS?

I did it once before, at work, another view of the only place the UPS truck could stop. Tracking said delivery by 5pm. Perfect. 5pm arrived and went, then 6pm. It was Friday so why not just wait, it also allows for traffic to melt away by the time I get on the road.

Seven pm rolled thru. Another tracking update, delivery delayed. Not just till Monday but Wednesday!

I must have really pissed off the Spirits of Delivery lol.

That sucks. Well now that you missed a delivery, you could actually call and see if you can do Will Call? Basically then the driver returns to the facility, they can pull yours out and you can pick it up at UPS CC (if that is near you that is).

Yeah cause I figure next yr if they come out with an amazing iphone 14 I can always upgrade at least then I would have something to upgrade from(Now I have a crappy samsung galaxy s6 which is worthless, its not even on the list for trade ins its that old) a 200 difference between the iphone 13 and the pro just seems to me I cant justify spending more for just a better camera for videos, with my eyes heck even the samsung phone gives decent photos so it shows what I know LOL. The sierra blue I assume is only for the pro that is what Im seeing posted here the most. Now I would have to find a case for the iphone 13 that works with magsafe..I think its better to charge it wirelessly than having to always plug it in I noticed with my phone after a while the plug just doesnt work anymore and it can be broken easily..what case is recommended that can work with magsafe and which magsafe is recommended(I saw the belkin 3 in 1 online(Will be getting the apple watch 7, first apple watch, plus airpods when they come out) but dang that thing is SO expensive and I dont even know if it works with the 13..again I appreciate u answering all my questions :)
The Apple silicone cases are MagSafe compatible. They actually have the magnet built into the case to help with the connection. That is the only MagSafe case I have tried so far so I cannot recommend any other at this time. But I’m really liking this silicone case so far!

I saw this one on amazon

it says compatible with magsafe charging I assume ALL magsafe charging..I figure with magsafe wireless charging its safer for the phone, what is a good magsafe wireless charger? The belkin 3 and 1? Looks good but dang its expensive!

Of course, I get slammed with stuff at work right after I receive my iPhone. It's lighting a fire under my butt to get it done quickly so I can enjoy my unboxing and setup in peace though. Also feel relaxed now that I'm not anxiously awaiting the UPS person.
I hear you. I am packing for a weekend trip.

I was in the shower when the phones arrived. My husband signed for them. He won’t have time to set up at all.

I immediately slapped the screen protector on mine, a little crookedly and put the case on.

I am trying to decide if I set this up completely fresh or bring my apps and data over.

It’s so beautiful. I love it as much as I love my purple mini’s color. My mini still has the better looking display though. The new one looks a little pinkish. Lol time to move to the “Agh my display is weird threads” 🤣 Edit: Lol
False alarm, True Tone was on by default.

I will catch up on this thread when I get to my destination. I’m so excited for everyone who got their phones and I’m hopeful for those who haven’t yet. Have a great weekend to all!

thanks for checking. I gave up on ever seeing the map.

Follow My Delivery is available for packages sent using UPS® Ground, UPS Next Day Air®, UPS Worldwide Express®, and UPS Worldwide Express Plus®.
It never did show up for me, either. The one day I could actually use it because I have to leave to run my husband to pick up his ‘57 Chevy from the mechanic (for the 1000000th time this year, but that’s neither here nor there), and it’d be swell to know if I have time to do that or not. Sigh.

Arrived for my in store pickup 10 minutes early and they’re like “nope, got to wait” when the store isn’t even that busy.

C’mon Apple
