I went back to the local Apple store hoping they would have some Pro models in stock. To no surprise, they did not. After constantly refreshing the website and lucking out, finally secured a Pro Max for pickup tomorrow. I didn't want the 512gb but it was better than waiting a month for a 256gb. When I first saw the specs I was lukewarm on trading in my 13 Pro. Once I got to the store and tested them all out, I was very impressed. Very excited.
Most of the shipping companies here show the delivery handlers phone number in the tracking information and some also provide gps tracking from origin to destination.
It is a UPS store so they don't have a problem shipping there.
For me it's typical within 24 hours that they close out the loan. However I think it's taking longer than usual. I still haven't gotten the trade in complete and closed email for my iup trade in despite that the order status does state that it's completed.
Ugh - yeah this is why I haven't just cancelled my preorder and gone for an in-stock score... worried it'll prevent me from sneaking another order through for store pickup. Patience... uuuuuuugh
Is it true to check 6:30 am for stock my store told me 8 am est?
Anyone on IUP did you guys get one recent for store pickup after launch ?

Has anyone kept their old phone on iPhone upgrade program without sending it to Apple after upgrading?
I’d be surprised if everyone didn’t have this happen to them at least once. Everyone has at least one horror UPS/FedEx/USPS story for sure.

Someone already told you it doesn't really matter when you check. I was checking all day and some in the SKU I wanted popped up at around 2pm. Use this site to keep checking every now and then: https://iphonechecker.herokuapp.com/
I have one that's new to me... and not really a horror story. I received the trade-in box for my watch today. Someone apparently thought it had something "interesting" in it rather than just being an empty box. So they opened it up. And then used the little included piece of tape to tape it back up again. I was laughing as I called Apple Support, because I'd have loved to have seen the face of the would-be thief when it was empty. I wonder if they thought someone else beat them to it. The box isn't damaged at all, so support said to go ahead and use it with my own tape.
I have other horror stories for UPS, FedEx, and USPS, but they're not Apple related. Hopefully this makes a few other fellow-sufferers smile.
Yea these porch pirates will try to loot anything and everything. I think DHL is the only provider I’ve never had an issue with and they’re pretty much all international shipments. So kudos to them I guess
My phone and watch were delivered on Friday and the driver just left them outside by the door to my building. Didn’t even ring the bell. I saw the truck pull in and waited for the bell. Then I saw the truck pull off.
I thought a signature was required

DHL did this? What kind of bizzaro, topsy-turvy parallel universe do you live in?
Apple says my Pro Max in Titanium Blue is supposed to be delivered between Oct 17-24. I was debating on canceling and just trading my 14 Pro Max in to get the Pro free since Tmobile would have it to me by the end of the week/early next as per their website.
I came here in hopes people were getting updated that their phones were shipping earlier than estimated haha.
I had a Oct 9-16 delivery date for a PM Titanium Blue 256GB. I canceled my Apple order on Friday, ordered one on Best Buy right after and I already got a tracking number this afternoon. If you guys are in the Late Oct or Nov shipping dates I'd double check other places if you want it earlier.
I have, gave it to my gf. You just keep paying the monthly until it’s fully paid. You will end up with two monthly bills.
I didn’t know that website, thanks I’ll use that to keep checking
I unfortunately had a friend last year who was in a similar situation. He ordered directly from Apple and they lost his phone in Louisville. He contacted Apple and they apologized and "expedited" a replacement, but that effectively put him to the end of the line and I don't think he actually got his new phone until mid October or early November. Sorry you're going through this. :-(
Mine started moving today and it says it will be delivered tomorrow. It should start moving soon for you.
The kit will ship to you via UPS but use FedEx to ship back to Apple.
I’m not really sure what the exact problem is. I did try limiting the refresh rate by turning ProMotion off but that didn’t help.
My daughter kindly let me try her iPhone 15 this evening and I didn’t feel any fatigue or pain during the time I spent reading a few forum posts on it. That was enough encouragement for me to go ahead and place an order for a Pink 512 GB 15. Delivers October 10-17. So I’ll give that a try. It was my second favorite model so I’ve still got my enthusiasm going. But I’m prepared to accept that it may also not work out for me.
If it doesn’t work out I will still have my Android phones and my 12 Pro Max.
I did take such a gorgeous portrait photo of my husband on the 15 Pro Max so I will miss that camera. But I’m hoping to get some nice photos on the 15 as well. If it works out for me.
My other final option would be to try the 15 Plus. It’s got a slightly different flicker profile from the iPhone 15.
Mine came UPS and has a UPS return label, so be sure to look at your label to see what's needed.
Mine arrived Sunday from FedEx and are now on their way back with FedEx.Mine started moving today and it says it will be delivered tomorrow. It should start moving soon for you.
