Happy to see this @TheYayAreaLiving ! After all your hard work, sleepless nights, and added stress...keeping this ship together. I know you'll enjoy the heck out of it. Thanks for another great year of pre-order action and we'll see if I join in on the other new stuff coming out.

Everyone here's got my FOMO going about AW7. Wasn't going to upgrade this year, but just maybe. Safe travels out here to LA/Long Beach/OC areas and we can't wait to see your epic 📸 .

All the best!

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.
*Still waiting. Snails are faster than this UPS guy.

I was going to just head over to Apple to give them this phone, get the trade in refunded later. It seems like the stores are just packed today...long lines, only open until 7pm. I shouldn't be shocked though.

When my Silver 13 Pro Max arrives, I am going to unbox it and live with it for maybe 1 hours and then I am going down to the Apple Store and see first hand the Sierra Blue and decide which I want to own. The Silver is so nice looking and I think I would not grow tried of it. Not so sure about having about an all blue phone.
I loved the Silver 12PM so much, that I went with same for the 13PM. Stunning! 😍

Have you decided which case you are keeping? I love the case in the 2nd picture 😍

Definitely keeping the Coolwee (just said like oooooweee! lol)

The 3rd is nice, but I will wait for the Velvet Cavier to show up. I’m funny about my sparkle.

The Peel case arrived today as well. It’s going back. I have used similar cases for cheaper. It’s also slippery. I bought the soft shell case so maybe that was the difference.

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!
Pick up at CC isn't readily available as an option online/app when you change your delivery location. It might have been this thread or the iPad one, but there was a link to an article about it.

Apparently UPS wants to close CC's in favor of UPS stores and other 3rd party stores.
Removing the option on the website/app to pick up at CC artificially inflates the notion that no one want to pick up at the CC.

Well duh if you can't pick it, and don't think of emailing/calling, then yeah less and less will use that option!

Are you in the city or the suburbs?

@julit0 Thank you for tagging along. Thanks for waking me up early in the morning haha! I appreciate the kind words. I will finally be able to go to sleep in peace. No more catching red eye flights! My back is aching now 😂 I was looking at a mirror this morning and I have dark circles around my eyes. It was all worth it though. Enjoy your iPhone. Hoping to see you around. Best wishes!🥲

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.
Just move the SIM over from your old phone unless you really want to use eSIM.
