Yes! It’s been reported in the past before. They know. Check this out!

Feels like yesterday. I witnessed this moment. Pure madness! 🥲

As retailers prepare to begin sending out iPhone 6 and 6 Plus pre-orders to customers, shipping company employees behind the scenes are working hard...

That was such a cool story. I remember it like it was yesterday!

Pilot's decided to reroute our phones 🤣

So for international to US destinations on FlightAware they only give the US portion of the route. Obviously in today's time, we don't fly over Russia. So basically it's showing direct to the first waypoint in US airspace.

Tim Apple Cook 🍎 🧑‍🍳 said that they are sending things through ships now as well. I realize not iPhones, but I do wonder what they ship by ship 🚢

The funny thing is it may be weeks before I make a phone call with my new phone

Just call someone right after you text them to see if they received your text.

Not even one fifth of your post count! lol. I bet you're having fun.

Looking forward to tracking with you all next year. These are exciting times. I remember tracking my 7 Plus, X, and 11 Pro Max. Good times! My red 13 still has another year in it, though.

Yes! Please order the new iPhone Ultra with us next year and pick a home delivery. It's so much fun. Can't wait to have you join. I’ll be waiting. See you next year. 😌

Anyone else get a text / email from UPS saying their phone will be delivered tomorrow? I just got one and it says coming from AI and will arrive between 12:45 and 2:45 on 9/19.

Embargo lifts tomorrow???

This is why UPS 175 went so South after leaving ICN. Big weather in NW Japan area is first hiccup to today's flight (KST) vs tonight for those in the USA.

Those $19 cleaning cloths. That's why they're so expensive. They cruise first.

Saw this and bout **** myself


..then remembered it’s probably the trade in box

Who is the MacRumors user who swaps out his new iPhone like 20 times every year to get the best display?

 

[Rob198612]

Here’s what we are looking at price wise for iCloud storage
5 GB -free
50 GB - $0.99
200 GB - $2.99
2 TB - $9.99
6 TB - $29.99
12 TB - $59.99

6 TB should have been 19.99

12 TB 39.99

Way overpriced 😞

There's a reason for that. When they enter the ADIZ, they'd have to refile their flight plan and receive clearance again anyway.. at least that was what I learned before my short time at the FAA Academy, unless there is a LOA (Letter of Agreement) between the adjoining facilities. In this case, there isn't, as they'd be coming out of oceanic airspace, and there is nothing between Oakland Oceanic and Fukuoka Oceanic. The gap between them would be Russian airspace, which they are avoiding.

BL.

View attachment 2268335 Interesting route over Japan from dashed route…

Part of that dotted line goes over Russian airspace (I think the part above the "U" in UPS is Russian soil) and definitely the weird shaped peninsula thingie in the middle is Russia. Would that even be legal to fly over Russian soil?

A bunch of people did, but rest assured your phone will not be there until Friday. I wonder how many people not on this forum get that message and then adjust their plans for the next day due to being under the impression that their phone is getting delivered and they want to be home to receive it.

I take advantage of my AppleCare usually 5 replacements a year. Even with the slightest chip. No screen protector or case. Put that money towards repairs lol

Wednesday

Tomorrow, 6AM Pacific.

 

[Avenger]

Is everyone getting these? I highly doubt this will actually happen, particularly since my UPS app is still showing 9/22 delivery for both phones. 😂 View attachment 2268382

I got the same thing. It must be a bug in their notification system. Probably if Apple didn’t specify a set date, the package would arrive tomorrow.

A heavy 747 will be quite slow on the climb.

Any time I see a B747 or an A380 during an initial climb, they look like they are barely moving. A couple of years ago, I had to catch a regional flight on an E175 out of EWR (the only time I ever flew on one) and that thing literally blasted off the runway at a nearly vertical angle. Weight certainly matters!

Tomorrow, 6AM Pacific.

Are we talking reviews? Or what specifically? If the former, it was Wednesday last year. Not saying it is the same every year, but that is why I mentioned Wednesday.

Thank you.

I used to do that but I stopped because there’s a high chance you can get a refurbished model. That refurbished model # starts with letter “N”. All new units start letter is “M".

 

[dave006]

They do, but you use their WiFi which is notoriously slow. I often walk out of the store with no working phone because it is easier to get home and set it up on my personal WiFi.

Not to mention the slow Carrier Activation that build a backlog as the day goes along. So no Cellular either for many customers on Launch day.
