Hey, fellow Fort Worthian!

Hi from Mckinney

 

[jhowieii]

Just got this on AfterShip, UPS still shows it in China. What’s going on in the ROK?

 

[FunkyTang]

I have a question about AppleCare + warranty. I just got the standard, but I think I want to get the theft and loss too. Do you guys know if this is possible after the purchase?

I never pre-buy AppleCare. I wait until I receive the device and then add AppleCare from the settings app.

 

[walds11]

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

Some people do though.

I just contacted UPS technical support at 1-877-289-6418 and provided my tracking #. The agent stated the option is not there because Apple is not requiring a signature for my package 🤔 Works for me if that is the case.

 

[DaRaider65]

So essentially have to wait till after Apple marks it Shipped.

I can confirm this because I just got off the phone with Apple myself. Asked them about this even though I called them for a different matter.

 

[Rafterman]

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.

Back in the day, the line was very long and the wait several hours. Two years ago though, I did in-store pickup, and a tiny line and you were in and out in minutes. Apple really streamlined things over the years.

Though, the big city stores might be a little more intense still.

 

[Two Stacks]

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.

But apparently if I remember right Apple said you can’t charge any faster. Just that it would accept 20W or higher charge. It’s not gonna make your phone fast charge even faster. Still takes a couple hours.

Apple CS is going to be crazy busy next few days with so many phone calls requesting a restrictions being lifted 😂

 

[alexcue]

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

sad to say it won't... you will have to call them and see if they can release it to a CC

 

[GeneticBloom]

It shows it cleared customs in KY. It has China at the top because they're a day ahead, so the local scan time was 9/20.

My 9/22 in store pickup order has been pending since Wednesday when I saved the pre-order selection (which I placed Friday morning):

Soo we’re in the same boat is what you’re saying?

I recall standing in line during the great meltdown of 2008. The launch of the iPhone 3G and the fumble out of the gate that was MobileMe left us standing in line for 6+ hours. Good times.

And last i heard you have to wait till apple marks your order shipped as well

 

[zonai]

You have several days after activating the phone to add AppleCare+

 

[Lex404]

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

Pro Max availability is down until 9/22. Meaning that even if it's ins tock, you're not able to see the inventory or order pickup until 9/22

 

[dave006]

I don’t even have the shipment release option 👎

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

Yes I do in my UPS My Choice app. It appears when I Click either of these links: Shipment Release or Driver Instructions links in the app. I Pre-Ordered last Friday directly from Apple and my iPhone Cleared Import Customs in SDF at 3:12 PM

Didn’t realize White was going to be a hold up for my phone. I can wait a little while but my November date hasn’t budged and that’s a little too far out. Card hasn’t been charged. Not sure if I should cancel and just get blue since they say October 6th. It’s my fault I didn’t get my order through until 7:45 pm launch day.

Or wait in line at your closest Apple Store and see if you can reserve one of the will have it in stock? Or Friday morning after 6 am local time you live in you can check availability then as well.

 

[RSmith2023]

I'll have to wait til mine goes to a "SHIPPED" status to get an actual tracking number.. I get the following when tracking by reference # (using either phone # or order # - last 2 digits)

 

[rixa001]

I'm glad I waited until after work to check my status 😁

 

[Syk]

Probably need to wait for the import scan/customs release to happen, which usually doesn’t happen until the day before if I remember correctly, then see if you can hold for pickup or redirect to a store.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot Thursday afternoon

ETA:I see one poster post about Apple, UPS and Thefts. Oh well I'm off anyway.

 

[Cayden]

Anybody else’s order still not showing up by reference with a 9/22 delivery date? My partner’s iPhone 15 still isn’t showing up on UPS at all

 

[tdar]

I have seen reports from people that it really will use 35 watts. That might not be true even though it was said. In reality it doesn’t matter. Like you said it is going to take time.

 

[dave006]

Pro Max availability is down until 9/22. Meaning that even if it's ins tock, you're not able to see the inventory or order pickup until 9/22

No it is not I just put in a sample order for an iPhone 15 Pro Max 512 in Blue for AT&T and there is store Inventory at my local Apple Stoer and I start Checkout. There is just no local Inventory where you are checking for Launch Day in-store pickup.

Ah ok! That makes more sense. But gosh darn it, I'd much like to have the option to save it FOR Friday than hunt around for one, day of.
