You guys are wonderful. Everything went well. Delivery is going to be tomorrow!! I expect apple must not like delays with launch day deliveries. I expected to have to wait until Monday.
I appreciate all that you and @Theyayarealiving do here! And everyone else! Itās my favorite thing to do while waiting for my phone every year.
Last year my phone got lost during delivery. I ended up driving to the UPS CC later in the evening. Learned that they opened for appointments at 7-8pm. I decided to just go even though my tracking had no info about it being ready. They had a small line of people with a line that said "iPhones". I waited in line and they got my info. They searched and looked for about an hour and came out with my phone! Ended up not being in the warehouse (like I was told...) and was on another truck. This new truck helped out the original truck out with some packages and accidentally took mine. He apparently did the same with other packages as well so 3 others got their phones as soon as he pulled into their loading bay. After this headache, I decided to do in-store pick-up this year. Everything went smoothly minus the activation issue I had.
Iām just down the road from there in Huntington Beach. UPS delivered my 15 Pro Max 1TB (Blue Titanium) exactly at noon.
Sometimes you have to make tough decisions. 1.5 hours in both directions is still faster than 10/9-10/16. How bad do you want that iPhone now vs later?
I never really understood this kind of thing. Whether it was actually stolen, or the driver stole it. The shipper knows the devices info. They just make it an expensive paper weight. I guess they could sell it to a stupid person who doesnāt check the phone before purchasing if FTF.
My white 15 PM was delivered today. The migration from 12 PM went pretty well. Iām still fighting some issues with financial apps that donāt handle migration very well.
Anyone else scared to take a dump because you might miss the delivery?? š¤£
Wow, didnāt realize that there were so many issues activating today. Verizon went smoothly. I transferred data from old to new this year because it took over 2 hours for iCloud restore last year. I didnāt have time or the patience for that.
I had a problem signing into my Apple ID from my Apple Watch initially, but once I restarted the 15PM, I was good to go. Paired to the SUV and CarPlay is good. Last task is to upgrade WatchOS which has been delayed since Iām constantly using my phone at the moment.

Oh well, bad day today but at least I can relax and not worry about missing the delivery driver for a few days.. no weekend attempts but maybe Iāll have better luck next week. :/ gonna watch a movie tonight and relax. Enjoy your phones everyone! Has anyone posted pics of their blue titanium phone? Would love to see them if not.
And at least UPS delivered my watch band, the new Nike blue flame band is so much more comfortable than the silicone band the Apple Watch SE came with. Looks better too.

Agreed not garbage and I'd never blame the drivers but things have deteriorated since Covid. I absolutely don't trust UPS to deliver on the date specified anymore (my launch date iPhone last year is an example). I love following everybody and getting excited with them but I pick up in the store when I want something on launch day. I understand that that is not possible for most. It is now past 7pm here and my watch is still circling the neighborhood and I'm within walking distance of Tim Cook's home (at least his home at one time). I'm fine with watch being delayed but if I really cared I'd not rely on ups/fedex/whomever.
Thanks, I really like the case with the white. This was it from Amazon. The brand is Keluoas

I had mine delivered to me at work, a coworker started shouting for me when the UPS driver got there lol the driver said they didnāt know they were getting iPhones to deliver today and their boss said they could deliver tomorrow too. So it sounds like UPS sometimes makes their own decisions about delivery
I order from the apple store for pick-up. The local t-mobile stores around me are staffed by high-school/college kids that don't really know what to do.
Okaaaaay my iPhone 15 Pro Max is finally all set up. Itās downloading all my data from iCloud, which could take a long while.
Much of UPS are franchises that are under contract with UPS and they have a bit of leeway in their operations and decisions.
First, congrats on everyone on getting their new phones today, and condolences to those who got delayed.
UPS came to my door, rang my doorbell, did not wait, put a sign on the door and left. As he was walking away my mom answered and he ignored her. Didnāt even stop on his way to the truck and just drove off. I called UPS and asked if I could pick up and they said I had to contact Apple, and Apple said they would request the hold within two days. UPS refused to deliver till Tuesday.
So, I pulled up the Apple Store and was able to get the exact color I wanted and picked it up today, and will be returning the other iPhone once it gets delivered, eventually.
The Apple Store representatives were incredibly polite, got me in and out quickly, despite having a line.

Not if I leave the door open!
Have you ever seen police manning the lines? At the store I went to, after a while police started questioning anyone who joined the line and asking if they were there for a pickup or a walk-in.
Mine came from Fedex and was told 9:20 to 1:20, it came just before 3 pm!!!! lol but I love this phone, I upgraded from xr product red
