Probably. Iāve seen several 4-9ās that are supposed to deliver on Monday, Sept 25. Weāre next in the 9-16 bucket so Iām hoping we see some kind of movement in the next week, at least moving to PFS (preparing for shipment) at which point we can start tracking by reference.
Check every morning. Iāve seen stock both yesterday and today when I check the Apple Store app at 5:30-6:30am. Not a ton of stock, but several different Pro Max configurations.
I'm sure the USP driver will have a lot of fun telling that story.
Letās hope! Iām still salty that it took 33 minutes after preorders opened to get my order to go through.
I do understand that, but at the same time, if your number worked on the 15 PM we would know the issue is with his account, and not with the physical phone. Iāll give you an example, I switched to the Go5G Plus plan or whatever itās called, and the T-Mobile chat rep disabled my data plan by mistake. So I was getting full signal, but couldnāt load any websites. I didnāt see it until I logged into the T-Mobile app and checked account add-ons.
SAME! Normally I can deal with that on preorder morning between 2 iPads, my phone, and MacBook Pro and get through, but I got stuck on an international flight with the worst wifi ever and just my phoneā¦ didnāt get through until about :35. Hopefully we see some movement in the next 5 days. šš
And this test also shows the 15 Plus and Pro Max batteries are the best ever?
I assume most people who don't know much about tech will hear 23 hours of playback time would assume that battery life.
Iām one of the originally 10/4-10/9 orders that received their phone on Friday. I canāt remember if my phone went to preparing for shipment on the Apple site or if my ups showed an incoming package from AI first, but both of those happened well before Apples shipping estimate moved up. If I remember correctly, Apple was still saying to expect it on 10/2 as of Thursday.
Hm, so if my phone were off, I wouldn't get them? I hadn't thought about that
desperately need some help here...yesterday, received both my 15PMs ordered from apple store. unlocked (any carrier) version. my partner and i are both on tmobile. i came from a 12PM, physical SIM to eSIM transfer...all good. phone activated, done.
my partner? freaking NIGHTMARE and still no resolution.
he was on a 11P, eSIM to eSIM transfer. we went through the onscreen process, "would you like to transfer your phone number" or whatever it was. said yes, did the double button press on the 11P and said process was done/activated on 15PM...15PM on screen said it transferred and it was activated. but there's no service. (and yes, we were on wifi while doing the transfer)
long story short, we spent 3 hours on the phone with tmobile last night with no avail. went into tmobile store today, spent 4 hours there and they can't figure out why. on their end, it's showing his IMEI is attached to his account and showing up that it's active on his 15PM...it even shows on his 15PM he has 5G service bars but you can't make calls, get calls, nothing. when you go to the carrier section, it just keeps saying the eSIM is activating.
we've factory reset the phone and set up the phone as brand new and still won't activate.
tmobile is telling us to go to apple store and saying it's a defect with the phone. we activated the eSIM on his 11P and it immediately worked/went through.
THOUGHTS?! this is so stressful
ETA: just saw that his 11P was on iOS 16.1 and 15PM on 17.0.2...could this have been the issue? i don't think but grasping at straws b/c we've run through every damn scenario already.
She already said the 15 PM was on 17.0.2 though...
Apple does this too sometimes when you try to set up a phone with 2FA enabled on the Apple ID. So for Apple I try to make sure I have another number set to receive codes like a landline, or another cell phone.
It can take a good week for the battery monitoring software to calibrate itself, so judging by the first day or two isnāt accurate as it will tend to drain quickly.
HEY, howzit...Im South African...living in USA since 1988
Once I got through, I got about 4000 text messages with verifcation codes from all the times the Apple rep and I tried getting them hahaha
I had a bunch of verification codes too, and of course they came to my iPad and Mac only after my eSIM was activated.
