The rule of thumb is that your if you are restoring your new phone with your current phone's latest backup, the backup file and the new phone have to be on the same OS. So if you update your current phone to iOS17, then you would have to update your new phone once you get it before you can restore it.

Some skip the initial activation of the phone and either download the iOS update through WiFi, or they put the phone in restore mode and use (now) Finder on MacOS to download an update the new phone. After it's updated, you can than restore from the backup made whilst on iOS17.


Last few years iOS will do an update when it detects the backup isn’t in parity with the destination phone. You don’t have to go through all this anymore.
 
No, it's supposed to go live on Friday with the arrival of your shiny new iPhone. It'll be 30 a month for 6 terabytes and 60 a month for 12 terabytes.
Dude! Come on. How do you expect me to hop on that?

You made me go look and check for nothing. You should have said to wait till Friday lol. Always making me wait for you and always making me work haha! Never gets old.

I was playing Oregon Trail on a monochrome Tandy Computer using real floppy disks back in Elementary School. Now you are making me feel old and I'm only in my early 40s 🤣

On a Tandy? Young'un! 😝

Seriously, I played it on the Apple IIe in elementary school as well. Looking back on it, I have to say that now it is a pleasant feeling to die of dysentery. 😂

BL.

You know what? I thought by now you could read my mind and know what I mean and not what I say. Gosh

I didn't mean to get your hopes up. :(
 
One year we didn’t leave ZZ until Tuesday night, I believe it was iPhone 13…maybe 12. Ask @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ she remembers everything 😂😂
That is correct! It was the iPhone 12 Covid-Era. Apple relied on Cargo Lux. Everything was on lockdown throughout the world. Also, the UPS scans were delayed and did not show up until Thursday properly when it arrived in Louisville, KY. Crazy times!

Your right. It is my fault. It's not like you told me to go check right now.

Man.. what are we going to do about your UPS tracking? You don't even have a tracking number. Do you?
 
I thought I remember during quick setup that it's no longer needed to do the trick of setting up the phone real quick updating to the latest iOS and then wipe it and then set up again with Quick Setup for real to get all your settings moved over.

I could be remembering incorrectly but I thought last year was the first year I heard there was an option to have the phone upgrade to the current iOS first and reboot and then it would start the Quick Setup?

I was too quick to want to set it up and get going that I just did the set up, wipe and then real set up because that was always required before.
Exactly.

Hey ... I said you should go hop on that. But I didn't specify WHEN. How was I to know you were going to IMMEDIATELY rush to your phone like some kind of crazy person?

@TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ are we expecting ZZ to ICN this year? I recall last few years some went to ICN and some went direct to ANC
It's a possibility. It's too early to tell. I have a feeling tracking should see movement tomorrow. It's a big day tomorrow. We will know more. Right now, don't have enough evidence.

I take actions right away. You should know me by now. I am crazy! Immediate is my favorite word. I hate waiting and I don't have any patience.

My iPhone 15 will be here on Friday.
 
Nothing. Unless I get it from my Apple order page soon. I only have the last 4 from my reference number, but UPS no longer gives the entire number for "security" reasons.
I would call UPS and ask them to give you the full number. Verify your information and they will give it to you. Lots of people here did that today successfully.

You're right. My mistake.

I did earlier today and they kept connecting me to like 10 different people and then I had to do a job, so I just hung up. I'll try again tomorrow.
