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

Yes. The reason I was asking was because I screwed up by updating to 17.0.1 today without thinking. I was hoping it wasn’t pre-installed with 17.0 so I didn’t have to update before restoring. If it’s pre-installed with 17.0.1 it’ll be even better since I can just update after a restore.

I think the only issue you'll have is if you are on the beta as the new phone will have to be running the beta before you can restore from backup.

Almost certainly they shipped with 17.0 but the phone will just update to 17.0.1 during the restore process if it needs to. Apple gets better and better with the setup/restore process every year and if I remember correctly when I worked seasonal at Apple in 'The Before Times' one of the phones shipped without updated software and they would just quickly update and then continue with the restore process during setup. Smooth as silk. Slick as snot. In a gif.

Thinking back on that, we had a Frankenstein dongle we'd use so we could connect two phones together to transfer data directly if a customer didn't use iCloud. I'm guessing that will be much easier this year since you can probably just use a USB-C to Lightening cable.

I don't think that poor hamster is going to make it long....

because one charges while she drives the other. It takes a long time to charge a car with a hamster and a 5w block

Just dongle two hamsters together.

Wait does that make it go past 5w?

Still don’t see it leaving Louisville yet but UPS is saying 1030-1230 for delivery so I can only hope 😃

Their day is just getting started.

Ugh no movement all day. Really hoping it still comes tomorrow.

I just got a text saying my phone would be ready to pick up at the store tomorrow. I wonder if that means the shipment arrived there this evening.

I’m actually planning on restoring an encrypted backup on my MacBook with the high speed USB C cable. I’m curious as to see how much shorter time that will take compared to year’s past with lightning.

Now you have made me go to Apple Music and play some music from the greatest guitar player ever.

My phone departed from Louisville at 3:25 PM ET, but supposedly hasn't arrived to the destination yet. It's going to a place in the same time zone....

Well, I haven't posted this or a related pic this year, so...

I believe all of us got the import scan this morning & our phones are on the way from Louisville to their final destinations

So was @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️

How did you know? I was sad when Apple let go of the 30- pin dock connector. I always thought it looked nice aesthetics wise.

I had a few extra minutes before my shift started, so I dropped into the Best Buy near work… Which is always dangerous. Turns out they had a decent selection of iPhone 15 / Plus / Pro / Pro Max cases out already! I grabbed the Incipio Cru! It feels better than the FineWoven

Not gonna lie. If Apple did a retro rerelease of the 4S with all the current specs, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

 

[Wolfs]

Only for a brief second or two.

Where do you people find these things?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
