Hey (I can't remember from last year), once I send my old phone back to Apple does Apple automatically cancel Apple Care + or do I have to contact them?

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
Yea same! I got there at 12:50 for my 1PM Appointment and I had to wait like 40 minutes. It wasn’t super horrible they were pretty quick but i still think they had way too many people for a 1pm appointment at my location

You will love it
I can't see the Statue of Liberty clearly from my rooftop, but I can see other stuff. This is from my iPhone 12/11 Pros View attachment 1844656

I'll take more pics when I get this new iPhone!! I'm excited!!
So pretty! Wolfsette lives in midtown, and we were up on her roof top last year while they were testing the lights. We can see the “ball” between 2 buildings 🎉

she really loves Brooklyn though.
I was too busy looking at her luscious nail color.
Oh behave!

Did anyone have to sign for their delivery? Mine is still on the truck but gotta get kids from school in a couple hours. My tracking page does NOT say Signature Required.
my UPS guy had me sign AND asked me for names on the boxes

Sorry for posting my iPad picture in here, but I like you guys the best, and I kinda forgot there was another forum for that…plus, sleep deprivation!

Mr Wolfs is being a PITA right now, but he leaves to fly soon-then I will savor the 13 pro unboxing experience uninterrupted. Until then having fun with the iPad. So happy to see everyone’s new toys, and for those of you with delivery issues I hope you are all pleasantly surprised by UPS/Apple Santa.

That's a total bummer. I had one for in-store pick up at 1:15 pm slot (That was the earliest). I got there 12:45 PM and they just sent me to go inside. I was in and out in 3 minutes lol. There was line for walk in's but there were no lines for in-store pick ups.

Got my 13 Pro. UPS rang the doorbell and literally 3 seconds started walking away. About tackled him to get my bloody phone.

And now to fight with Verizon to activate my esim. Massive pain in the ass every...single...time...
if you pre ordered your phone as Verizon with your number, its already in the phone. New this year on pre orders

Seat mates! Hopefully next year our other traveling mate, @Bea220 will join us🤞 🙏. I missed her this go-round🥺
I missed her, too!
I got my wife the gold and that color is really nice this year, not a rose gold like it has been in the past.
I saw them at Best Buy this AM. mr Wolfs was gonna go naked on his trip but then chickened out so we had to go quick case shopping. The gold is gorgeous. Much more champagne than I thought it would be, and the Sierra was not nearly as blue as some pictures would make you think. I also thought the shell pink 13 was a home run.

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 ********.
Same. Can’t talk to a person at ups either. Called three times and was able to SUPPOSEDLY get it sent to an access point for pickup today after 6 but when I tried to find the address of that in the app I couldn’t find the one they said. Picked a closer one because I couldn’t get out of the screen. Then my info was instantly updated to this newer (wrong) place. No way to cancel and revert to the “today” pickup location. So irritating.

EDIT: Went to the first pickup point as it was the actual area shipping hub and LUCKED OUT they found my package right away (she goes, was it an iPhone? Yah. Ha ha, I’ve got five more of them right here! So they know alllll about it) so I did in fact get it today after all.

Picked mine up a UPS CC right at open. In previous years, before UPS changed things, there used to be lines but not this year. Just walked right in. Had it all setup within an hour and already shipped my trade in back to Apple. I was shocked at the size of the shipping box (coming from an 11 Pro). Had to open it right away in the car to make sure the iPhone was in there!

I thought so too, but it refuses to activate on the esim and I have been on the line with Verizon for over an hour now. The very same thing happened with my iPhone 12, took 2 hours to get that one resolved. It even picked up my number during setup, but no signal and refuses to activate.

This year’s journey comes to an end for my iUp journey. Picked up both iPh13PM from UPS CC. One was ready around 830am, and the other was still processing… I waited about 15-20 mts and the 2nd one was also ready. The UPS CC folks were super helpful — they were joking and also added a dose of humor while waiting since 9 out of 10 pickups were for iPhones’..!

Phones are all set now… they were in their birthday attire for sometime but not for too long… they’re now wrapped-up and fully-secure! 😃

Thanks to everyone for an eventful and entertaining 2021 iPhone launch tracking show… see ya’ll next year, cheers! 🍺
