Finally got my order in again! I didn’t get my 9:45am pickup time again, but still getting it pretty early! 
So is it still 176 from China back to Seol and then from Seol to here it'll be 175?
Uhhh it wasn’t that smooth was it? At least I didn’t get that feeling from your posts lol 🫣
You don't want to tell them about you crashing the Apple App Store App during Pre-Orders went live?
There is always room for improvement. I would state that updating the shipping information on iPhones is lackluster as we have to hunt down our phones.
Good Morning from Las Vegas, Had work to do before jumping in here as well as do treadmill for 1.7 miles, Then had to get caught up (somewhat) on the posts.
Both 14PM and Ipad Mini 6 are Updating to ios 17 or at least they are both preparing on phone looks to be about done.
Do we think that both Wave 1 and Wave 2 could go out on the UPS flight?
I may miss the excitement of the plane taking off, going out for Poke with friends in town from Cali.

All I can tell you is ... going from the Verizon website UI to T-Mobile is night and day. Verizon has a lockdown on complicated interface vomit. Everything is incredibly simple and easy to access on T-Mobile. It is an extremely nice change. All the options I used to have to dig for 20 minutes to find before on Verizon are all easily accessible on T-Mobile. Just make sure that T-Mobile has coverage in her area before switching. I didn't realize that T-Mobile actually completely obliterates Verizon in every way for speed and coverage in my area, so it's a nice change.
Okay, well, hold on just one minute…
Definitely not… no idea what you’re talking about… 😤
We just changed from AT&T to T Mobile a few days ago and so far I completely agree. The customer service (and not just the salesman who sets up your account, I have been talking to standard service and number porting people for several hours over the past few days due to all kinds of AT&T imposed issues) are night and day. Everything with AT&T barely works and it takes at least 90 minutes to get any phone call over with.
The data around my house also went from 5-20Mbps on AT&T with sometimes a 5000ms ping, to hitting 200+ with no lag. I’m so glad to be through with them.
I should have added, “Process my preorders faster or else…”
With how well you track this stuff I'm amazed you haven't found a way to hack into the onboard cameras and get us up to date screenshots of our parcels.
Thank you! It's a work in progress. Eventually one day I will get there. 🤫

Right now, I am questioning whether you're tcook undercover or not 🤣
Oh, I know. I've been with T-Mo since it was Voicestream in the year 2000. I only switched to AT&T during the years where the iPhone was locked to Cingular/AT&T. I was a telecom developer in 2000 - 2001, and we all swore by Voicestream/T-Mo. I've been trying to get my mom to switch for ages, and she's finally ready with all the crap they pull.
Yes, I couldn't be happier. Their customer support in store and the reps on the phone actually sound like they love their jobs, lol.
She can, she just can't share them publicly 🤫
The way “You’re going to love it” rolls off @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ keyboard, I wouldn’t honestly be surprised either! 🤣
