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?
I tried through tmobile but customer care said that with the shipping label printed they could not change the address. I would have to do it through ups.

BTW were you able to get your issue resolved? Still didn't get your iPhone?
Nope. Apple is supposedly sending a replacement (1 Nov - 8 Nov) and is expecting me to trade in my 12 Pro Max by 11 Oct and my nonexistent 13 Pro Max by 14 Oct. They say to ignore the trade-in requirements and just wait until I receive the replacement 13 Pro Max, at which point they'll reset everything. Not sure I'm buying any of this.

This was the first time I preordered, and despite some bumps caused by the fact I had no home internet service when I was trying to restore my new phone from a backup (thanks, Spectrum), I'm so glad I pulled the trigger. I see that no area stores (and we have a lot of stores in Metro NYC) have the 13PM 1TB in stock, and shipping has dropped to Nov. 9-10. Meanwhile, I was able to enjoy my new phone (particularly the camera) for a week in the mountains, and I've been able to continue updating my CD library to lossless (I had to stop because I ran out of space on my old phone and didn't want to go back to album-by-album curation after finally being able to store my entire collection on my 11PM). There's always a risk with the first batch of hardware, but this phone seems pretty solid out of the gate. Good luck to those of you still waiting; you're going to love your new phones!

Check your local stores guys, even if the websites are out of stock. Called my local Cricket wireless store yesterday to see if they could get me a 128GB 13 Pro, figured it couldn't hurt. They called me back a few hours later saying they could get me a gold one. I just picked it up this morning! Canceled my Apple order that wasn't due until Nov 8th-15th, thanks Cricket!

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.
Seems it is in fact still in China as the tracking has not updated to departed and continues to say in transit. The delivery date however has been updated to Oct 14 so here’s hoping it begins moving soon.

It could be in at least Alaska by now. iPhone tracking is notoriously laggy. Some folks don't get any tracking until after they receive their iPhones. That's rare, but it has happened in years past.

Funny you should mention it, I received my trade in box this afternoon as well. Fingers crossed our phones are actually closer then the tracking is letting on.

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:
You and I both, haha. I ordered a 13 Pro 128GB in Sierra Blue on October 4th, a day before you. My estimated delivery date is November 4th to November 11th, interestingly?

Hi guys,

This is my first message! I’m excited being a part of this huge family. Because I’ve been following Macrumor for years. :)

Soon I’m starting to live in Austin (moving from İstanbul). I have yet to buy iPhone in Istanbul and am planning to buy in Texas. when i check carrier deals, i have a question on mind. I know there’d be sim locked on iPhone that is purchased from carrier; but both physical sim and e-sim would be locked or just one of them would be?

If purchased from the carrier, it will be locked to that carrier. But you haven’t mentioned which carrier you will be going. If AT&T and purchase directly from Carrier, it is locked to that network. If it’s Verizon, it is locked to it’s carrier as well but for 60 days only and it auto unlocks after 60 days. Since I have not been on other carriers like T-mobile, I can’t speak for those carriers I have not been to.
