Yes that is the track for yesterday's flight of UPS 176 but then it jumped back to SDF magically and is now is just arrived back in ICN 9/18 from Alaska 75 minutes ago.

Here is the track for yesterday with the gap:

It's tricky because you can't just look at flight numbers. You have to track the actual aircraft. If the flight has already departed and is assigned that flight, then you're good. Otherwise, the flight is just a designator for the route, so UPS 176 is the flight going to China, but probably isn't the one going from China to the US.
 
I pre-ordered for Friday 9/22 and it’s still preparing for shipping. I just found out I will be out of town for work starting 9/21 until 10/2. It says that once it ships, I can have it held at carrier for pickup but wondered if there is a time limit they will hold? Can’t remember if they send via UPS or FEDEX; it’s delivering to a Raleigh, NC address. Tried to ask on Apple chat suport but it is obviously AI and giving nonsensical responsesl.

I believe you can request a vacation hold, which they'll hold it longer than they normally would.

Screenshot from MrMobile's video. Can't get over how much the Natural Titanium has grown on me and how good it looks. Can't wait to see it in person on Friday.

I must be color blind because it looks like White Titanium to me. Or I've looked at the colors too much and they are blurring together.
 

Flight Tracking Update - 10:20AM CDT

Current Aircraft

Our aircraft is currently in Seoul fueling up and swapping crew for the way over to Zhengzhou (CGO). The aircraft is N611UP, a 2018 Boeing 747-8. The flight time enroute today should be 1:45.

fb21783e890f777e3e44e1c7a28e0cafe9197929


My best estimate is as follows.

UPS176 | N611UP | ICN-CGO | Estimated | Departure 1:00AM KST | Arrival 1:45AM CST

As a reminder, the flight plan will not likely populated. You will have to wait on the ADS-B track to show for the flight to even generate on FlightAware. You can track for the Aircraft on the ground on FlightRadar24.

I'd expect departure scans to start rolling around 1-5PM CDT. I'll make an update once the aircraft gets to Zhengzhou.
 
Who remembers the episode of The Big Bang Theory where Raj got a new iPhone and then basically fell in love with Siri? He put different cases on it depending on the situation he was in. He defended her honor. He dreamed about Siri as a potential mate. Did the inspiration for that episode come from this forum?
No, but did someone secretly change Siri's voice to a male in the episode?

It was probably this movie from 2013. "Her"

The natural titanium seems to color shift depending on the angle, lighting, and temperature settings / color grading of photos and videos. It ranges from a super warm grey (almost taupe) to a cool grey like this screenshot shows. We shall see how it really looks when we all have our phones in hand haha :D

Correct. 176 is not a normal flight. It's an extra segment. UPS175 will be the reverse going back.

Thank you for the update!!
 
Only 96 hours and 36 minutes left till my UPS customer center opens up and I can get my 2 new phones, not that I am counting or anything ha ha
Down to the details with timing. That ssounds like way too many hours. It's only Monday. I wonder how many posts counts this thread will be by then.
