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

[ATX_wapiti]

All of you that are in the wave 1 or 2 have Express shipping or Standard shipping? Mine stills PTS, but doesn't appear in UPS My Choice nor searching by reference.

They don’t typically offer to sell you express shipping when you preorder through Apple. Mine is set to show up on 9/22 with standard shipping. It will actually ship via UPS Worldwide Express Saver. There is always a day lag with the scans because China is on the other side of the date line from us here in the US. So sometimes that’s why there’s a lag.

Got my origin scan for 9/22 delivery 🙌

In other news, Apple no longer lets you even try to check stock for in-store pickup in nyc for the pro max. It just shows “in-store availability on 9/22”



I guess that means people can camp out in front of stores like old times?

Jokes aside, camping in front of Apple Stores would be a totally immersive American experience for me, as a tourist 🤣

I noticed that yesterday and ended up ordering the normal pro.

It's either people ordered a lot of duplicates, keeping the store one as backup in case the deliveries are delayed, or Apple got annoyed by people like me refreshing the inventory for 20 stores every 30 seconds to fish an iPhone 🤣

Question: What will you use the new Action Button for? 🤔

I know. However my order is placed with Express shipping. I don't know the reason Apple choose Express or Standard

 

[TurboCoder2022]

No UPS details yet. Also, I am stuck at PTS still.

I want my new iPhone 15 Pro Max in black titanium!! LOL

 

[netnative]

Finally, the shipment of my 512GB iPhone 15 Pro Max in Natural Titanium appeared on UPS My Choice for delivery on Friday, September 22, between 11:15 AM and 2:15 PM. It shows an Origin Scan at ZhengZhou on 09/17/2023 at 2:46 PM.

I'll be ordering the Ultra 2 later this year after I get a few new gigs. I'll be upgrading from the garbage Apple Watch SE. Quite a big upgrade.

Same! I did not like my aw se and had to put up with it for 3 years. I didnt mind it at first.🙄

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

Thank you for the love and support. But I think you are Ultra Awesome. Everyone knows that in here.

Lol I’m a nobody. You’re the star of the show here

 

[TurboCoder2022]

Yeah!!! I just got the updated settings notification "Get ready for your new iPhone!" in my settings app on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Yaayyy!

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

Hit the gym!

because no MSG

Nostalgia/FOMO is always a sure fire way to drive foot traffic on release day and have stock on hand release day, because Apple (or any other business).

Im curious about the fastest way to transfer all data from old devices to the new iPhone 15/Plus/Pro/Pro Max? Will it now be with a USB-C to lightning cable (is this even possible) or side-by-side transfer via wifi? 🤔

 

[Lex404]

I have around 230 apps.... but lots are trash and/ or leftovers.
Vacation somewhere new? Here's 5 airline app, 3 hotel chains, local restaurants, attractions, etc. With ~3 vacations per year, this adds up cos I never get to delete them )

I actually counted the *very essential* apps: 27. Everything else is trash.

Also, most apps store data in their own cloud (e.g. Google, slack, x, banks, etc) yet they count towards icloud cos they have some "app data". This app data it shouldn't be backed up. For example, Genshin Impact has 20GB of "app data", but that's the entire game because it downloads from their server and not from apple store. Save games are still stored online on their servers.

So my plan:
Erase everything before receiving the new 15 Pro
Install and configure the 27 essential apps
Create a backup, this backup should be very slim


Doing this because when I got the 13 Pro Max I stayed 4-5 hours in Apple store 5th ave and still couldn't restore from my 100GB backup of trash ) + apps installs are not saved in backups anymore (even on itunes backup), so it will start to download all apps.

I added my planned method in another topic... depends what you have on your device

Side by side as usual 😊

Looks like my 15 PM is on the move. I now have a "Departed Facility" scan from ZhengZhou, China. 3:50 PM on 9/17.

 

[thearh]

On the way

 

[jhowieii]

Finally

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Lol I’m a nobody. You’re the star of the show here

Pshhhhhh! Nah. I'm a nobody without you guys. I believe We are ALL the star of the show here. 💫

 

[ideaprison]

Can the action button handle different actions based on how you press it?

Would make sense that a single press, double, or holding should be programmable.

 

[IAMGROOT]

Ordered in preorder day yet no luck 😭😭 hoping for a miracle

 

[28Gauge]

Another scan has been applied....still in China, though.

Based on the YT video by MKBHD, in settings you can choose the desired action for the button.

Hopefully in a future iOS update it could also have the option for different type of actions based on single press, double, triple or hold.

 

[ideaprison]

Typical of Apple to not think of that.. sigh..

I'll definitely send them some feedback requesting it.
