Other 🇺🇸 USA - Apple.com - iPhone 15/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[Djones96]

I'm happy for everyone's orders that are preparing to ship, but I can't help but see them and be jealous

How do you track the flights with iPhones

People get their tracking information through UPS My Choice. They then search flight aware for scheduled flights coming out of China for UPS that could coincide with a time frame of their phone having to be flown to Alaska. Then they spend hours watching a little plane icon on the screen cross the Pacific Ocean and biting their nails, hoping nothing goes wrong.

My card still hasn’t been charged. Getting nervous.

If for In Store Pick up? Likely won’t be charged till later in the week like till Thur

 

[hch720]

If it’s purchased in full, can I just get it unlocked?

have a look

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Haven’t preordered since iPhone 6 so what happens next after Preparing to Ship? I mean obviously shipping but how do you see the plane it’s on, etc.?

Welcome! So glad you are here with us.

All that information will be provided in the coming days. Expect some aviation activity to hit on Saturday evening or Sunday. We'll keep you posted.

I got in on a Pro Max white 512 this morning. Really looking forward to getting it and my S9 watch on the same day.

 

[Matt713]

Is there anyone stuck at processing still with a LAUNCH day delivery that's NOT picking up in store?

Me... 15 Pro Black Ti 512GB... hoping to see some development soon lol.

Edit: I have officially transitioned to "PTS" phase. Fingers crossed for ya.

 

[dannyyankou]

Joke’s on all of you. Apple is saying I can pickup my phone now!

Honestly the most fun part about ordering an iPhone. Watching the little plane icon move across the Pacific.

Well what are you waiting for?! Go pick it up!

 

[Trozetar]

For those that have been moved to, “Preparing to Ship" you can no longer cancel the order anymore. Expect UPS scans to be generated soon from China.

Hi - this sounds like a tax adjustment - are you picking up in store or having it shipped somewhere besides home?

Shipping it to my sisters house rather than my place

 

[LeahJoFoxtrot]

Ya’ll still not putting cases on your phones?

Nope. I'll just clean it more often.

 

[Surf Monkey]

The Pro colors lineup this year look like a rainy day lol

They don’t really pop, that’s true.

That said, the raw titanium is cool looking. Like it’s unfinished. The white this year looks nice too.

But I went with the blue.

 

[rjjacobson]

That’s interesting so you guys didn’t place the order using an App? The app is usually the fastest. The web version Apple Store was down for me like forever. I guess it comes down to this. You gotta do what you gotta do to make it work. Everyone’s experience is so different.

Oh I placed the order using my iPhone and the store app because it grabs the information from phone without hassle. But the issues were with completing the order this morning. restarting and such the iphone was met with it not opening til 30 minutes past. Trying with iPad app got me in to the pre pre order and it was going fine, click to check out (worked) click to place order (a big fail) then trying to get back into the iPad app I could not and then tried the store website on my MacBook and after a second of poking found the spot to finnish there instead

Please do an unboxing video please!

 

[nimitz9]

I actually preordered every iPhone from the 3GS onward. I did order for in-store pickup for the 3GS and the 4, and then again for the 5S, but the last one was a bit of a nightmare. I had to rely on an inventory tracker that someone created that would check all Apple Stores within like a 100-mile radius, waking up each night at 2 am or whenever they uploaded the new inventory data, until I finally found a gold one down near Miami and picked it up in-store.

HaHa, I remember seeing that Apple inventory availible website. Good times good times. LOL

Am i to understand you put your phone number (the one you used to purchase the phone) with no spaces with area code...or the order number with the W leaving off the last 2 digits...and you type that number in ups my choice...in the tracking number tab?

Kinda surprised how unpopular blue is and how popular white is. Though I guess it could just be supply differences.

Ha ha sad but true

 

[timeconsumer]

I’m seeing some movement on my orders, both are now showing as preparing to ship!

 

[jav6454]

So I just noticed this nasty surprise on my email confirmation. I will fight it tooth and nail. It’s not the $35, it’s the principle.

Are you paying full price? If so, next time just choose the "select carrier later" option. That's what I do and AT&T is none the wiser.

 

[Alectric]

The last couple years, this has been waived with a phone call.

(Or there's a place to waive it by clicking buttons on the AT&T website)

Oh, okay. For the first time I skipped last years iPhone. When I got my 13s att would not budge on that $35. Every year prior I was able to make a quick phone call and asked them to wave it without a fight. Good to know. Thanks.
