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

[jav6454]

There's always a group of people who receive their new iPhone's every year and decided they made the wrong color choice, prompting them to return the one they preordered and place a new order with the color they want. This year, people seem to be more indecisive (I should know LOL) about what color they should get. I just think that an atypical amount of people will return their initial choice and exchange for another color.

Which causes further backlogs.

Hey, fellow Fort Worthian!

Mine too…but we preordered direct with our carrier. Most of the folks in here preordered through Apple

Anyone else not able to select to pick up at a UPS customer center? UPS just isn't giving me the option like last year.

I usually got the option after my phone cleared customs. Not too hopeful this year, though.

I just checked with apple cc, he / she said contact once status changes to shipped on Apple.com

Has anyone been able to change their UPS delivery to a hub/CC?…if that is even an option this year.

 

[Lakersfan74]

How about UPS lockers like Amazon has?

 

[Djones96]

I don't see the shipment release like others have in the UPS app. If it doesn't appear, I'll have to take the day off from work 😛

In past years this almost always coincided with (or happened near to) the customs release/import scan. Maybe Apple releases restrictions at the same time they put the UPS tracking number on the order?

Nope still can't make that change after clearing Import Customs in Louisville, KY. All I can do is Shipment Release so the Driver can just drop it at the address and leave.

I will keep checking to see if the Option to hold delivery at CC appears.

Dave

I don’t even have the shipment release option 👎

 

[GeneticBloom]

Mine hasn't cleared customs in Louisville yet. 🤔

 

[TeNsTrKe15]

Been in Magic Kingdom all day. I see the phones cleared customs at 3:12.

This just gave me an idea, purposely go on vacations the week of iPhone launch and be home by Thursday so I stop checking status’s every hour 🤣

 

[ksujoel]

Yep, time to find out Thursday. Im not worried since I went with in store pick up. I may now be doing this in store pick up moving forward is this ups cc request is going to a hassle.

I don’t blame you. The nearest Apple Store to me is about 2.5-3 hours. So, I usually have it held at the UPS CC.

You will just be checking the status while on vacation 🤣

I’m referring to the IMPORT SCAN that usually takes place on Thursday before they go to their final destinations. I’ve been able to do it in previous years. It might’ve changed this year. I guess we will see after the scans populate.

Nobody does yet-at least not on the direct from Apple orders

 

[FunkyTang]

I shared that photo last night plenty of times. I think people are traumatized with my charging method. Not falling for this one again.

Seems weird that you charge slow to save the battery but upgrade every year?

 

[TeNsTrKe15]

Maybe every 2 or 3 hours haha. A shiny new iPhone would certainly be great for post-vacation woes!

 

[tdar]

Well I did it. After the unfortunate situation I have caught up from being over 400 pages down. Now I can keep up with everything people are saying.

One thing I should mention. Yes it’s about charging your iPhone. With the 15 Pro and Pro Max, the system of charging has changed. You have a full complement USB 3 system to charge with. The new iPhone can take up to 35 watts of charge power. And if you also have a Mac, you have full thunderbolt three support.
I have already built a system to charge my new phone at the 35 watts of power. It’s going to get charged with that on Friday.

 

[MichaelMidnight]

Anyone in the Los Angeles area, have any luck with any Pro Max's for in-store pick-up? I check periodically but nadda.

 

[FunkyTang]

I've never had a silicone case before. What was wrong with it? Does it stain and smudge easily? Wear out?

Silicone cases can be a lint magnet and they may not slide in/out of pockets smoothly.

Pretty sure they're sold out everywhere, not just LA. You can try on Friday morning though for some stock.

model and carrier? pro max 256 nat ti tmobile here... still showing 10/9-16 and processing. 🤞

Same. PM 256 NT. T-Mobile.

Another exciting thing about Friday: It'll be my first time in an Apple Store on an iPhone launch day! Curious to see what that will be like.

 

[TurboCoder2022]

I can tell too. I'm coming from 13 Pro so I can really notice the difference between mine and 15 Pro.

I'm coming from a 12 pro max so I can DEFINITELY REALLY notice the difference between mine and the 15 Pro Max.

Thanks have over 850 different trilobites (mostly) retired geologist

I love geology/ fossils/ trilobites! I was going to change my major to geology but it would take me another year to change and I wanted to get married to my fiancé asap. Lol. You’ll be taking amazing fossil photos with your new phone soon!
