Mine is scheduled for delivery TODAY!!! 😃😃 Finally!

I ordered Sept. 17th - so I month and 1 day to get it. Glad I didn't wait any longer to pre-order, as it would probably have taken quite a bit longer.

I celebrated my yearly ritual of Banishing Unused Apps yesterday. Deleted a bunch that I thought I'd try out and then never used. Reorganized my collections. Backed up the iPhone 12 Pro.

I will miss last year's blue and my Baltic Blue case. It's been my favorite color so far. I'm getting the new blue, but it's sort of meh to me in comparison. And no new blue leather case this year? What's up with that? Got the green and it's OK.

Sounds very optimistic but you never know! Mine cleared customs in Kentucky on Sat and will maybe arrive today.

I’m so glad they’re out of stock everywhere. Went to a T-Mobile store today intending to trade in and upgrade our 3 lines and there was absolutely no 13 minis available. Made me realize we don’t need new phones, our existing ones work just fine. Thank you chip shortages

Went to our local AT&T store yesterday evening and got my step-mother a blue iPhone 13 Mini to replace her iPhone 6. They apparently had plenty in stock.

Order status updated to shipped last night. UPS showing origin scan and departure from facility in Kunshan, China. Kunshan??
 
So iPhones this year are not being shipped earlier than original date like past years? Mine is scheduled to arrive Nov 5- Nov 12. I expected to get it earlier…

It's just an estimate. You could get it earlier then the estimated date. If they were to delay your orders, you would have gotten an e-mail notification about it.
 
Apple says my phone will deliver on Nov 1, but UPS shows delivery on the 26th as in next week. Who should I believe? At least I can track it now via UPS.

My husbands phone flipped over to preparing to ship late last night so I'm betting it will ship in the next 24 hours.

I was expecting the same! Apple had my original window as Oct 20-27. It bounced around a bit, but in the end, here we are at the 20th and my iPhone is out for delivery.

There were a handful of folks in the thread who got theirs a week or more early, but sadly "on time" seems to be the norm. Given the "global logistics crisis" I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

ETA: Well it got here with no hiccups. Quite a phone so far. Thanks all for the fun ride and good luck to those who still have one en route!

P.S. PSA - Don't forget to make sure all your 2 factor authentication is properly transferred over before you wipe your old device.

Yay...my Sierra Blue phone arrived today! One day from Anchorage, Alaska to here to rural Illinois. I'm impressed.

Btw, Apple had a delivery estimate of October 22nd. So my delivery beat their estimate by 2 days. So maybe Apple is more pessimistic about delivery estimates for some reason.

Both my phones have now shipped. One will be here on Tuesday and the other will show up on Wednesday. When I track them through UPS they both show the same number though. Kind of strange since they are going to two different ones. At any rate it looks like Apple is speeding up delivery on phones as mine were ordered at the beginning of the month (10/1) and set for a Nov 1-10 delivery. I'm glad we don't need to wait longer for them.

Last year my phone was lost for a few weeks, but finally showed up after I had gone to the Apple store and bought another one. My son's was lost this year, but showed up just a few days later. I guess you can't really blame UPS since they are shipping thousands upon thousands of phones. A few are going to get misdirected here and there.
 
Hi! Has anyone ordered an iPhone around 10/13? Can you please tell me the delivery date?

I’m in Argentina, so I used a shopping service called Grabr, where you ask a traveller to buy you something and then bring it to your house. The flyer I chose placed the order that day, so a little info sharing will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

But it's frustrating when you follow your new phone's progress all the way to the local UPS hub and it's not there due to logical scans and not physical scans. Being told at the hub that it was still across the street at the warehouse and to come back Monday (this was on launch day) only to find they had no idea where the phone was is maddening. It took a while for UPS International Shipping to figure out that my phone had been lost in Louisville.

Sounds like UPS needs a hand or two in Incheon, KR to get my phone across continents. ? Phone's been stuck in shipping logistics hell and hasn't made any progress since 10/21.

Seattle also has had some trouble with a week long shipping backlog but that's unlikely to be the root cause because these packages typically follow this route: Incheon, KR -> Anchorage -> Louisville -> Seattle. So ?‍♂️ on what's going on in Incheon, KR.

It could be worse - mine has been stuck on this for two days now: “Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city. Shanghai, China”

Even more annoying is the message “Check back tomorrow for an updated delivery date,” which likewise hasn’t changed in two days.
