Are you going to order the new iPhone 15?

I have had it come into Orlando on those crazy late flights and been worried it wasn't going to make it to Tampa but still get driven to Tampa in time for an 8 am pick up at the CC, so it could be on any of those three flights.
Have there been any other flights into Orlando today?

Okay so I got these charging cables for fast charging. Do I need to worry that they are 100 watts?


I'm a fan of fast charging, but I also know the risks of higher power -- like 100W. I don't want to burn my house, or any hotel I am staying at, down -- so I bought Apple thunderbolt cables for my fast charging needs. Is it overkill? Likely, but I work in power manufacturing, and I have read case after case on fires caused by overheating/charging lithium ion batteries.

I don't trust those cheap cables on Amazon.

Thanks!! What's the equivalent Apple-only USB-C to USB-C charging cable?

The device only draws/pulls what's needed, so you're good.

Historically, the earliest one leaves around 4 pm. I haven't checked though. Since they basically service all of central Florida from the Orlando hub, so I know there are multiple flights going into Orlando.
An iPhones that were going to the Apple Store should've already arrived in Orlando. You would think right they wouldn't be on that 4 PM flight?
 
I think I successfully arranged for mine to be picked up at a UPS CC.

I called Apple and told them I’d like them to allow the me to pick up at my nearest CC. They said they would process the request and I got an email confirming it was being worked on.

I called UPS and they didn’t have an update.

Then I got an email from Apple again saying the request was processed.

I called UPS again and they confirmed it would be ready for pickup tomorrow and said it should show on my tracking by EOD. I asked them to confirm the CC address and it was the one nearest to me.

I will update if my UPS tracking gets updated to reflect this!
Thanks for this. All my UPS tracking show delivery by 7 pm, way later than normal. Followed your lead on this and called Apple. Received their emails confirming the request. So far, so good.
 
Got a quick question since I'm upgrading from an X.
What would be the best way to setup my PM tomorrow?
Should I do phone to phone transfer or restore from iCloud?
I don't backup my pictures or text to the cloud now. I know the phone to phone will copy them over.
Is the transfer from phone to phone still uploading to iCloud and then coming back down to the new phone?
If so I may just turn on backup for photos and iMessage so that it can all backup tonight.
My download speed is faster than my upload.
 
My phone and watch are both in Louisville. I’m pretty sure they won’t leave until later tonight since I’m only 5 hours away. I’m crossing my fingers they get delivered at the same time.
Mine too. And Airpods. I'm in the Metro East so I'm guessing the same thing. They'll probably be sent by truck and not flying. I do wish that we'd get a departure scan though! Good luck to you!

Another option is to save the photos to your photo app on your Mac (always want to back up the memories) and backup the phone in the Finder.. Then tomorrow plug in the phone to your Mac and set it up using the backup on the computer. You can then airdrop all of your photos back over.
