Does Apple send some sort of return kit if you did the iUP program and got your new phone delivered? I've always done the trade into the store, so this is all new to me. I did not get any sort of packaging slips or empty boxes with this new phone.

Can you bring these into the stores or do you have to mail them back?

UPS is clearly overwhelmed. I‘m not expecting mine until Monday at this point. Bummer.
Mine arrived at 6 pm. Was projected to be here between 11 and 3.
Better late than never.
And I was able to order and pick up a iPad mini 6 at Apple. The siera blue has barely any color. Very disappointed.
long lines, but well organized.
Everyone enjoy your new toys.
Until next year.

You will get a kit to send the old one back.

No need to activate is you can set it up even without the sim card.
Currently doing the data migration and it seems like the activation process was smooth, I'm seeing cellular on my new one now. It did the activation during the data migration process, so that was nice. I was surprised I didn't have to turn off my old one to activate the new one.
 
FINALLY! The UPS person dropped it off around 6pm. My doorman checked it in almost immediately (this is rare). I ran downstairs and picked it up. I'm still trying to get the new iPhone setup. Looks like setting up eSIM was a breeze.

YAY!! Now I have to put on my screen protector and my case. It was so fun tracking our iPhones together for the past week. Look forward to doing this again in 2022 with the more exciting iPhone 14?! Thank you all for calming me down when I was stressed and didn't think my iPhone would arrive today. You all are the best!!
Yay! Congratulations!!! It looks beautiful. You are going to love it. Take lots of photos in NY :) see you soon!!

Just went and checked at the location where the UPS map has stated the truck has been since noon. No UPS truck in sight. Still says out for delivery, but I’m not very hopeful at this point

Mine is/was projected by 7pm but thats already passed. The odd thing is UPS tracking site says "we have updated your delivery time" but it still says 7pm today. ??‍♂️

13 pro max battery life…….no words. I literally haven’t seen it move much in hours of constant use. Was almost going to consider the regular pro…no way

cool. I have 128 to trade so I was curious
I wasn't 100% sure also of that max trade in. I had that $790 number, then saw "up to $790" (Thinking this was for 512gb version) Wasn't the case. They checked for dents, scratches, ran diagnostic check. The only thing terrible in that 12 Pro Max was the battery, just had a lemon.

Anyway, that's over and done with.
I'm happy.
