Sounds great looking forward to movement tomorrow

 

[naturalstar]

My guess is Wave 2 has joined Wave 1 in the customs holding pen. I think (hope) Wave 1 will see movement overnight/tomorrow AM.

Also, don’t we get in trouble for something every year?

I'm thinking so as well. First wave came from Foxconn on Saturday, followed by Wave 2 from Foxconn on Sunday (local times). There may even be another wave seeing that some orders are getting bumped up as well. I agree that by the time we wake up in the morning, we'll have a better idea.

This is going to be a difficult week to focus. Glad I took off Friday!

You can just give it to me and I can happily take it. Want to donate?

I'm happy to send you a return label box.

No need it was worth trying it will keep with my other apple stuff.

Others have said this, but to repeat since the thread is long - you HAVE to go to UPS My Choice to great racking info. It will say on the Apple app "preparing to ship", but it has shipped. You will get shipping progress and a tracking number!

Now for my question - here is my progress - I have a tracking number - am I wave 1 or wave 2? Or do you need more info?

It looks like you are wave 2 based on the date being the 17th.

 

[Daran1977]

yes me. and a few others.

I also got charged… so stupid question, as I normally have it delivered to my home but UPS delivers well after 4pm in my new neighborhood… does this indicate that’s it’s been shipped? I kinda miss the stocking, I mean tracking of my phone ;-)

I got my Anker MagSafe charger cube today and it’s great! I can enjoy iOS 17’s StandBy mode now. It works great so far. The iPhone goes on the spot on top. I think this would be easy to pack for traveling.

Anker MagSafe Charger Stand, Wireless Charger, 3-in-1 Cube, 15W Foldable Fast Charging for iPhone 16/15/14/13, Apple Watch, AirPods (Charger Included)

MagSafe Charger, Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe, 15W Max Fast Charging Wireless Charger, for iPhone 14/13 / 12 Series, Apple Watch Series 1-8/Ultra, and AirPods Pro/3/2 (30W USB-C Charger Included)

Such an enabler! Off to investigate... 👀

What was your first ever iPhone?

Mine: iPhone 3GS - 2008. Been upgrading every single year since then. It’s 2023. 🤯

Does anybody have this?
Anker Prime 67W USB C Charger, Anker GaN Wall Charger, 3-Port Compact Fast PPS Charger
would you recommend this to use to charge iPhone 15 PM and Macbook M1 2021 at the same time? Is it safe?

It will charge and it’s safe, but the charge time may be slower with a phone and MacBook both charging at the same time

OG iPhone and had to use one of those SIM card gimmicks so I could use it on T-Mobile 😂 my cousin sold it to me after she got the iPhone 3G in summer of 2008.

After I used that for a year, I finally got my own AT&T plan with an iPhone 3GS and been upgrading every year ever since!

The sales tax is refunded on the trade in value once the trade in credit is issued.

Instant trade in value of $650. Balance charge to my installment plan is $549. Add the 2 together $1199. $71.94 paid in tax, which is 6% of 1199. Curious if maybe you got something lucky going on, or if I’m just unlucky.

So you don’t like the Apple Polishing Cloth but you also want to keep it too! 🤨 The controversy.. begins…

Fine.. I’ll pay double the price to buy your Apple Polishing Cloth.

$38 + Shipping covered by me.

Ready via Apple Cash or Cash App. Whichever is easiest for you.

Deal 🤝?

 

[LK2020]

Apple still hasn't changed to shipped or sent me tracking number. I was able to locate it with a reference number, but I can't see anything else.

View attachment 2266461

Apple won't be sending you the tracking number or showing shipped until Thursday even though the phone is moving. You need to either set up the UPS MyChoice app or call UPS International Customer Service and give them the last 4 of this tracking number and they will give you the full number.

Still stuck in China I was thinking by now at least Korea 😞

Oh no! I am trying sooo hard not to buy this! I want to keep using my Belkin 3 in 1 charger, but the iphone lies flat so it won’t do standby mode and I takes up space on the nightstand. I already ordered a new AW and iPhone and 3 cases and a polishing cloth and a watchband and a screen protector….

 

[Lakersfan74]

Still preparing to ship. Ordered at 5:09am on Friday.

I’m very similar:
4
5
6 Plus
X
11
15 ProMax

The X gave me mad migraines so I went to the 11. I tried the 14 ProMax which also gave migraines so I returned it. I’m sticking with the 15PM this time even if it gives me migraines because the 11 is just too slow. Hopefully it’ll be motivation to only use my phone when I actually need it and not waste endless hours on Reddit/YouTube/MacRumors/etc.

Edit: I forgot I also had a 7 between the 6 Plus and the X. Perhaps not so similar after all.

I have the same problems with the displays. I’m okay on my 12 Pro Max I bought refurbished. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the 15 Pro Max if it doesn’t work out for me. I’m trading the 14 Pro Max for it. I will probably just try the regular 15 and see how that goes. It may just be that I can’t handle ProMotion.

 

[CarolG]

Trust me! You will be thankful. It's rated as ⭐️ Certified Gold Standard. Come on.. it's only $19.00.

Review: Apple’s polishing cloth is the new gold standard for device cleaning - 9to5Mac

When the “Unleashed” Apple event wrapped up a few weeks ago, the first thing I did was run over to...

9to5mac.com

I have never had the polishing cloth but I need it now for my new shiny Gold Stainless Steel Apple Watch!!!

 

[iVegas]

My Apple Card was charged two hours ago for my store pickup on Sunday 9/24.

I appreciate your kind offer but it is a nice apple souvenir at worse case. And in better case I might one day find a use I do not anticipate yet would like to have it as part of my good memories of you and friends here on MR forums.

 

[fryfrkhlly]

I had assumed I was in wave 2 since I’ve been preparing to ship since yesterday. However, no amount of different numbers in the track reference give me anything and neither does the mychoice app. 128gig pink iPhone 15, delivery date 9/22.
Really hoping for something as the day goes on Don’t leave me behind iPhone friends

Same here and same phone/dates.

 

[stormchasejg]

Still preparing to ship. Ordered at 5:09am on Friday.

It'll stay preparing to ship until it lands in Louisville and get customs clearance when Apple will then change to shipped. If you want to track now you need to have UPS MyChoice or contact UPS International Customer Services to get the tracking number.

 

[ZacKaffeine]

I've been so busy with other things that I haven't had time to obsess over the tracking as much this year. Makes it feel like I've gotten lucky whenever I check and see change. Was pretty shocked to see this sitting in MyUPS

 

[FlightLevel310]

I know in the past the phones usually go from Zhengzhou to alaska, but I think they will be stopping in hong kong this year. There’s 2 flights scheduled out of Hong Kong to Alaska, both ups flights, one in 12 hours one in 14 hours.

Both those flights are regularly scheduled.

I think we are going to be left in the airport making each other drinks. 🍻 friend!
