Other 🇺🇸 USA - Apple.com - iPhone 15/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

And the reason is ... ?

Because I just prefer it.

An update for those who want to request UPS to hold your package: I called Apple per UPS's suggestion that Apple are the ones who placed restrictions on orders from Apple which started sometime a few weeks/months ago this year.

We should take this as a grain of salt but the Apple representative informed that there was an increase of activity that they could not control and that they indeed placed restrictions due to thefts from internally at UPS with requesting holds at hubs and external folks taking advantage of the UPS Hold my package location.

However, per the Apple Customer Service rep, Apple CS will have the ability to remove restrictions if requested by the customer only when the order status at Apple reflects as "on route" to customer with a tracking no. Only Apple can make this request on behalf of the customer.

Looping the community in as I know many folxs pick-up at UPS hubs. Let's hope this is the case. I'll keep everyone updated.

Thats good info. So basically we have to contact Apple as technically they are the shipper to lift the restrictions per that traxking no.. got it

Well this is interesting

Just errors out. Nice update from @LLL1424 . Seems like Apple is trying to protect us from ourselves for our own good. 😆
I know I posted before, but it was maybe 2021 and I was doing a CC pickup and an employee there had just gotten hauled off by the police for trying to steal iPhones.

So Maybe Apple doesn't want all the refund or replacement headaches if UPS fails to deliver to your door b/c of UPS's own internal security. Oh Well - maybe one of us will get through or do the request to Apple thing. I don't know if I want to risk my delivery that bad.

Respect is more important and valuable to me. So thank you for respecting but not understanding. 😞

You are welcome.

Wait… did that make any sense? You get the idea… 💡

I always understand you, even if others don't.

WHERE IS YOUR TRACKING NUMBER?

Sorry, I'm a little busy today celebrating my mother's birthday. Or is that not okay?

 

[caesarp]

Thank you! I don’t know why people are mad that in 2023 I still prefer using 5W Apple charging adapter.

But what happens if you have a busy full day using your phone, where you can't keep it plugged in while using it, so you are down to say 20% and then you are going out that night. Don't you want fast charging for that instance?

 

[Icealicy]

Just got this update from Aftership app. UPS app is still showing no departure scan after arriving in South Korea. UPS 99 is well on its way…. We will see if I’m on that flight or not. I’m supposed to be wave 2B.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Because it's insane, Yay.

It’s not. Slow and steady wins the race my friend. Especially when you are dealing with Apple.

I'm thinking of getting the new AirPods just to have USB-C and get rid of all traces of lightning. The pro aren't as comfortable for my ears as the original design though.

I don't have AirPods, but my AppleTV remote still charges via Lightning. I will forever need to keep one around.

[jkincheloe]

correct. and its debatable that you can even show up earlier than 15 - 30 minutes for your pickup time. I got noon for Austin, that was the soonest available, but I wanted to camp out .

Also in Austin and got 8:15 AM-8:30 AM at Domain Northside. How early should one get there to be served close to opening at this store? Is camping out necessary?

 

[jediandrew97]

I think I’m wave 2B, should we be worried about this? Hoping it’s just a slight delay and we get a flight heading to Anchorage next.

 

[whadzinaname]

Both my iPhones ordered from Apple arrived at Louisville, KY couple of hours back.

Random iOS 17 tip ... in the messages app, if you hold on the + button (to get to the little messages apps), it will default to photos.

Also you can reorder things in that app list

It’s not. Slow and steady wins the race my friend. Especially when you are dealing with Apple.

I don't like waiting for things.

In rare circumstances yes. I would prefer fast charging but I prefer slow-charging first. That gets a priority and I charge my iPhone every night.

 

[anjo10]

I got the same Exception alert too.

it is not too late to panic though. I have been to this situation before.

We still have 48 hours to get to Louisville.
trust Apple and UPS for 9/22 delivery. 😎

Technically she'll be charging while she sleeps.

"Y'all having fun over there? Knock it off!"

LOL makes me think of our Pug. He barks whenever anyone in the room laughs. We call him the Fun Police.

There! Mystery solved. Where is your tracking number?

Happy Birthday to your mom 🎉🎂.

Where is your tracking number again?

there are several people from Austin here, I think its gotta be top representation if not close haha. You don't have to camp out, though you might have to wait in a smaller pre order line but will be nothing compared to walk-ins. You can also come in later in the day. if you want to be close to opening, dunno, however long you can tolerate being in line. You have an opening slot so you won't wait too long anyway.

If I had an 8 am slot I would show up with a chair at like 6. But I'm unusual. I can't come in earlier because my appointment is later so I'm slightly disappointed.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

Where is your Apple Polishing Cloth 😫

With the original Apple chargers. 😆

 

[Bananasaurus]

Technically she'll be charging while she sleeps.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

There are just some light rain showers in Incheon right now.

Does anyone know how horrific the in-store pickup experience is on release day?

It's a good experience. You line up outside the store, they check your pick up time and then they let you in at the assigned time...you pick up the device and you are good to go. I have kept my old device at 🏡 to do a back up and restore and then mail off the old iphone
