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

[Bananasaurus]

Just another friendly reminder:

If you have not purchased an Apple Polishing Cloth. I would highly recommend you to get one. Best $19.00 USD you will ever spend. Just skip a lunch or something.

I have more than 10+ unopened Apple Polishing boxes ready to save my Apple devices.

It’s a necessity for iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max models.

Say No to #SmudgeGate.

I use a microfiber cloth designed for removing the smudges on expensive wine glasses and it's the best cloth I've ever used for electronics.

I think it's too late for that. Best you can do (with Apple) is to trade it in and get an Apple Gift Card. You will not get the best money for your 13P that way though. I saw a few have good luck with Decluttr, and then there's Gazelle and other re-sellers like that.

I think you can do a return to Apple Store for your phone and try to purchase same again this time with trade-in.

You better make sure that hacker is not waiting outside of your house. Wonder how they were able to get the into. Could it be your Home network Wi-Fi being exposed?

This typically happens when people reuse the same password for multiple websites. A much less secure website gets hacked and the information is sold on the darkweb. Bots then use the same login credentials across the interwebs to see what they can get into. Keyloggers are another big problem where something could have happened.

Thought I’d join in on the photo of the day. Cannot wait for Friday!

 

[BuddingMillionaire]

What?!?!?!? That’s horrible..,

@TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️

You're not gonna believe this ... I couldn't get into my UPS My Choice account because it was hacked and so they have to delete the account and said I can make a new one on .... you guessed it ... Friday.

Just in time to track your package that is already safely in your hands.

Oh well. At least I'll be home on Friday.

Hey @anjo10 I have been using the 20W Nano Anker for a few years as it does charge the iPhone quicker because the block used to only be 5W. Last year I bought this 30W foldable charger (It's good for traveling) if you're interested:

USB C GaN Charger 30W, Anker 511 Charger (Nano 3), PIQ 3.0 Foldable PPS Fast Charger for iPhone 14/14 Pro/14 Pro Max/13 Pro/13 Pro Max, Galaxy, iPad (Cable Not Included) - Lilac Purple

www.amazon.com

I also just got the same 3 in 1 adapter, but I haven't used it yet. I'm waiting for the iPhones to arrive before I change out all our cables/blocks! Welcome to the Anker family.

I already have this in my amazon cart. 😃 I’m just waiting to see if 3 in 1 adapter worth getting. I mainly want to use the 3 in 1 adapter for traveling. Thank you for responding. did you order the specific 3-1 adapter I mentioned? Anker has different adapters lol

Why don’t you want to? 😂😂😂

I get mine delivered, but it sounds like you have the option to do either in store or FedEx return.

Because if I don’t see a major change from the 14 I’ll just keep it another year and then sell it.

 

[rjjacobson]

I convinced @rjjacobson to make an investment to buy an Apple Polishing Cloth. After months of begging him to my knees, he finally did.

Russ- What are your thoughts about it? Do you like it? You know you can help us out here. 😂

Well I have used it a little bit to be honest @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ but did not see that it was any better than my other microfiber cloths. So just now another test I have lots of smears on my ipad screen i am viewing with. I turned off the screen so I could see the smears and all. The apple cloth too lots of effort and did not do well on half the screen I then pulled out the handy microfiber in a bag I have for my glasses. It cleared up the other half of screen very well, and in much less time and actually better so that I used it to clean the first half I retested the apple cloth on. Mind you that is the screen I use these on my ipad and iphone are in cases so no smears on the back ect.

So final analysis to be honest with you (will apple black list me LOL) is that its a MEH not any better than my usual microfibers. I decided to follow your recommendation and honestly probably will not get another one. But then using for the screen I touch on iphone, ipad or macbook window is typical use for me maybe I am holding/using it wrong LOL

I use very long and unique passwords for every website. I also don't install pirated software and I buy everything. It's just an unfortunate incident. My previous job was IT. I'm quite careful. These things can happen regardless of preparedness. My issue here was not using 2FA, which is dumb because I always do, I just never use UPS. Lapse in judgement. It's not a big deal. I just won't get to partake in the tracking festivities in here.

I have a bunch of eyeglass claning cloths that are great on my phones and tablets too.

Thank You! Easily one of the most overpriced and underwhelming products Apple ever made.

Ups taking too long to leave China!!!

 

[LK2020]

Tried website and app. I try to update my address and it says there is another account associated with the name or other stuff already. Tried to create a new account but it says my name was used already. I looked around to try and delete everything under the addresses but nothing has worked. The only thing that did work it change my username and password.

When you tried to delete the addresses on the website, did you go under Profile > Addresses & Contacts where it lists all your addresses? On mine, I only had Delete next to one of the three lines, so I deleted that one and the other two lines had an Edit next to them, so I just made them match since neither had a Delete link next to them. I was just trying to get my home address as the only address showing. That seemed to work then.

 

[rjjacobson]

I answered mine as well. The preorder was not smooth for me. It did not load on time for me, then it timed out repeatedly causing me to accidentally order four phones, but the first two orders did not show up until after 45 minutes. I cancelled two of four placed orders.

Have not gotten this yet. But had all kinds of issues even though eventually finnished on macbook in browser when my iOS apps failed miserably I will tell them if I get one

 

[naturalstar]

I wish I could set a 2-hour Confirmed Delivery Window. I just don't see that option for me. Maybe because I live in a city and my UPS driver just has a route and he always goes to my apartment building last at like 6:30pm?

Interesting. I’m sure my driver has a route as well, but being in the suburbs may be a factor.

I’m curious if people in the city see this option. I know my driver for our old place wouldn’t care. He’d show up at his normal late time too!

 

[BuddingMillionaire]

Ok, so my second phone Oct 9-16 is now showing up by reference also with a delivery date of Sept 22! Could it be accurate or is 9/22 a place marker or something

place marker for all the orders?

You are welcome. Well i wanted to try it since @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ liked it. Sometimes you need to try our experience or uses are different perhaps so it may be beneficial to her just not me.

Yep! I got the exact one! It arrived last week.

clicked on update my addresses and next page says I hadn't added any. Under my choice membership when I click on edit preferences and then name and address if I try and put my address in there is says my username or something is already used

 

[CodeSpyder]

Hopefully that’s the case !

Umm, I believe that you can direct it to the CC before that. You’ll see an Exception on your tracking until it hits the states.
