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

[Pipper99]

This is why I will do the pre-sign at the very least this year since can't pick it up... no excuse for them to make to pretend I wasn't home. I had this happen with my MacBook Air last year. I work from home. I'm always here, so don't give me that BS.

One year I did a presign with fedex for an iPad launch day delivery. I had the signed paper attached to the door. I was watching the driver as he got my packages out, looked at the door and saw my papers, put the packages back in his truck and get “attempted delivery tags” to put on my door. I went out there and he said, “I saw the release forms and assumed you weren’t home. I wasn’t going to take the chance and leave these even though you signed the release”.

They have discretion regarding the prerelease forms if they deem it’s too risky. My neighborhood rarely had any crime.

Which one is the iPhone 15 Pro Max? I'm guess right one or is it the left one?

Right

That Natural Titanium does look really nice. If they do that color again next year that may be the one I go with.

iPhone 16 Ultra may come with a Red iPhone. It will be exclusive! That's the real iPhone you should go with. Red is my favorite color. What's yours?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

HAHAHAHAHA

Man my beauty rest made me miss the fun

Apparently, people (night crew) have claimed this is how I charge my iPhone and this is how I will be charging my iPhone 15 Pro Max on Friday.

AfterShip almost makes it look like we left Louisville back for China 😂

That's why it is not recommended to use the AfterShip App. It takes time to get used to reaching the App. Sometimes it's best not to rely on tech and use our creative logistical minds.

Anyone here still stuck in China!

Please report. I’m still catching up with this thread..​

Mine says order processing, but I know it’ll be here Friday so it doesn’t matter lol.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Basically @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ and her charging habits is like my dad with live TV instead of streaming. It only makes sense in their heads.

Yes! Thank you. It makes sense to me and it makes me happy.

 

[AnOracle]

I kind of wonder what Apple would be doing if UPS was still on strike....FedEx i guess?

 

[IceCool]

I guess this ended up being real after all!

 

[LeahJoFoxtrot]

Thinking about getting AirPods Pro 2 and was looking at charging stations. I ordered this and I'm praying the angle isn't ridiculous for a bedside clock. https://www.twelvesouth.com/products/hirise-3-deluxe

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Do whatever makes you happy.

But you know me - I will charge using the cheapest setup from possible AliExpress/Temu/Amazon 😀

Buy your next iPhone 15 Pro Max from AliExpress/Temu/Amazon too. You do that.. then we'll talk.

 

[TurboCoder2022]

Thanks for asking. Maybe like 3 hours?

I went to bed at 1:30AM woke up at 3:30ish to report a departure scan or something in here and then woke back up at 5:00AM. I’ve been up since. More work to put in tonight. Big things coming our way. Friday can’t come soon enough.

Geeze! Thank you for all you do for us in this thread!!

Here again you can see the slim down bezels. Very tasty.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I'm going to join you and use a 5W adapter to charge my phone... but I won't do that crazyness you did with the dongle lol. Just simply getting a USB-A to USB-C cable from Anker. I'm a little traumatized with my 14PM battery health being down to 90% already...... I charge overnight anyway so don't need fast charging. I do have some 30W usb c chargers laying around though for moments when I'm in a pinch.

Thank you! Slow charging is the best. It's best for the battery too. It doesn't overheat the phone. Yeah.. my new charging way does look too much but Apple has left me with no other choice. I love Anker cables too tho.

This is what I when I tried an order 4 minutes ago for a show that showed Store inventory:

Now do one for a Pro Max.

 

[Foss]

For those picking up in store like me on Friday, the order status typically changes from processing to ready for pickup possibly on Wednesday but definitely on Thursday. So if you're still in processing, there's nothing to worry about. I think the store that was picked changes the status to ready once they confirm receipt of your order arriving there. I did get a charge on my credit card on Sunday.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

No, it's like your dad watching TV on one of those old VHF TVs with a knob for 12 channels with a coat-hanger and tinfoil for an antenna.

I like this idea. I prefer simpler times.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I'm so late and lost on this one so I'm gonna sit this one out

I would. It's embarrassing. Not sure what exactly happened here last night.

 

[hungryteresa]

assigning a time is just a formality to keep things relatively organized. But if you go outside your time they will accommodate you... Last year my brother had a 12pm pickup and he showed up at 9am.... They simply just made him wait off to the side for like 10 minutes while they ushered in the group with the 9am slot and then they just added him to the end of that group.

Oh nice to know they aren't super strict about the time slot. I guess as long as you have a pick up time for the day, then you should be all set.

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

@tdar I think it was @LasersGoPewPew who said that. By the way.. that's the same person who was asleep when pre-orders went live. We had 30-60 seconds this year to secure a launch day delivery. She asked me to pull an all-nighter with her and she was sleeping. I think she woke up like 3 hours later Go figure...

I still love her tho.

Did I stutter? I said what I said! 😆

By the way, I don't count because I'm pretty much half-dead anyway. I'm basically a zombie during the week.

 

[IceCool]

Here again you can see the slim down bezels. Very tasty.

And if that isn't obvious enough, look at how much closer the active display area is to the speaker!

 

[Wolfs]

iPhone 16 Ultra may come with a Red iPhone. It will be exclusive! That's the real iPhone you should go with. Red is my favorite color. What's yours?

Please please please! I love red, too. Put in a good word with Timmy, please

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

Buy your next iPhone 15 Pro Max from AliExpress/Temu/Amazon too. You do that.. then we'll talk.

What makes you think I haven't already? 🤔

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

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

It's not about saving the battery. It's about taking care of the battery keeping it cool and giving it a slow voltage to slowly charge the iPhone. I upgrade every year because it's a custom and a tradition. It has become a part of my life.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

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.

Sorry again you had to go through 400 pages down. That surely is a lot of pages so I understand your pain. When I got back I had to catch up with 50 pages or so and It took me good 3 hours or so. It was a lot. Felt like I was racing against time.
