Nice! Where do you live?
Northern NJ. That's a whole lot of traveling in a very short time!

Well the average seems to be about half of 10 days. Interesting that UPS is now having this disclaimer in their scans. I guess they got tired of the obsessive Apple fans anxiously awaiting their new “precious”.

Weird thing is. That disclaimer came after it had already cleared customs or so I thought. In ZhangZhou. And when it got to Shanghai at 1159 local time. This pops up.

Weird. Still says it will be delivered Monday. But we will see

It’s interesting that you went from ZhangZhou to Shanghai. My phone sat for 4 days in former and then shipped to me in 24 plus hours. Maybe they could not get enough planes in ZhangZhou?? I have seen it in other years though

Right. My last pre order went from zhangzhou to Korea and then to anchorage.

So stopping in Shanghai is a new one for me. Let along possibly be there for 10 days lol

Thinking of upgrading my 12 PM to a 13 PM, looking at the T-Mobile site earlier this week, it stated delivery dates of Oct. 8th. Then looking a couple days later those dates changed to like Nov 3rd - Nov. 5th, so in just two days, the delivery dates changed one month !!

I looked again today, and it said Oct.7th - 8th, like the same day or tomorrow. But then going through the order process, and before actually clicking yes to order, it stated November again. Then cancelling and an hour later I checked again at lunch, it was back to Oct 7th and 8th, I go through the order process and before accepting it changed to November. WTF?

I'm confused, is the phone sometimes ready to ship in 24hrs now? But other times one month?

Just ordered yesterday, delivery is Nov 8th-15th, pretty ridiculous. Its just a 128GB Pro. Are these showing up faster for anyone?
I ordered the same phone (128 Sierra Blue 13 Pro) a week ago. I'm in November 4 - 11 for the estimated delivery. I'm curious about the same. I will be following the thread closely and I'll post updates if I see any changes on my order. Here's to hoping the dates move forward!

Guess they need to get some more Chinese kids in the factory over there and get these cranked out faster.

Apple was 5 days behind the delivery date from UPS. The UPS estimate seemed overly optimistic but they made their date. Go with the UPS or FedEx estimate. Apple plays it safe and would rather underpromise/overdeliver than miss their date.

24 hours after I got the "arrived in Incheon" notification my iPhone 13 Pro Max was delivered to my door.

Same with me UPS is more accurate but apple plays conservative

My super genius plan was to hang onto my 11 Pro Max until I put the new 13 Pro Max through its paces and deemed it worthy. But like Mike Tyson said, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." The punch for me was my wife waiting all of 15 minutes before deciding she wanted to "upgrade" from her iPhone 11 Pro to my still-pristine 11 Pro Max. Luckily for me, my new 13 PM is 100% and full of awesome.

I got the Plum Crazy purple case for it. Yeah, yeah, I know - according to Apple its Deep Cherry. But I'm a Mopar guy from waaaaay back so everything purple is "Plum Crazy." My buddy growing up got his older brother's beat up 1970 'Cuda and we spent a glorious summer fixing it up. Eventually we jammed in a '69 440/six pack into it. For a couple duffers we did pretty good getting the body straight, and another friend did the paint job, right in his garage. Man, we thought we were so cool cruising around in that thing. :). Its a miracle either of us survived to adulthood.

Here we go.. tracking updated to Clearance in Progress, then package is in transit. The delivery date now says check back tomorrow, but it on it’s way and so the journey continues.

Dates kept slipping daily, then I ordered a 128GB Pro 6 days ago and the delivery date for new Pros hasn't moved since. Still showing Nov 8th-15th, my same delivery date from 6 days ago. Seems I was the last one on the planet to order an iPhone :rolleyes:

Ordered a 1 TB pro max through a T Mobile store Thursday.

Site says it will ship 11/3 to 11/14. Called customer yesterday over a delivery address issue and they said there's already a shipping label created. So hopefully it ships soon.

Question for the crew here. How difficult is it to amend shipping address through UPS. I have UPS my choice so hopefully once I get tracking I can add my apartment number through UPS.

Last I remember, Poster probably started from Shanghai, CN. Which usually goes to Japan then Anchorage then to Louisville, KY. I believe most of Zhengzhou's route is to South Korea, to ANC to KY. There's also a direct from ZZ to ANC to KY.
Except mine went from ZhengZhou to Anchorage to Louisville and then directly into a black hole. 😁

It's worth a shot. A few years ago I got the shipping address changed from Maryland to Utah while my phone was sitting in Louisville. A nice lady from Apple did this for me. No telling if it could happen again, but why not give it a try? 😁
