I just called ups back they said the phone is STILL IN CHINA waiting to clear thru customs. I was asking y is it taking so long and she said she don’t know but it’s still in china all i can do is wait and keep checking for updates or call Apple.
I guess we'll be leaving China within the next day or two. It seems as the standard turn around was 2 or so days but lately it seems to be going longer but could be due to the mechanical failures or other issues I imagine.

Got my 15 PM WT yesterday (Apple estimate was Oct 9th-16th), UPS just left it by the door lmao but luckily I work from home. Here's a pic of it next to the iPhone 5 l had laying in a drawer:

I haven't had any of the reported issues yet except phone calls sound extremely low unless it's on speaker or if u have headphones. It plays music loud as hell but phone calls are super low.
 
I'm going to seriously judge my 15PM if it arrives and doesn't share its vacation photos and its selfies with everyones phones. Like they are all besties now!

It definitely seems like its been disorganized, but also a really bad launch too with issues plaguing the phone and so much more. I never got an iPhone so close to launch, and when I got my 14PM(xfinity mobile) it took me months after to get it due to the wait) but this is sounding more like a headache than normal. UPS seems to be struggling also with shipments unless its more of a logistics thing.

Heres to everyone getting their phones soon! We're in this together.
Seriously I think the phones have become sentient and now have wants needs and love. Well I hope they speed up their little vacay cuz us humans are getting sad. Haha. Keep us updated. ✌️👍

How was your experience tracking it can you send us a screen shot
 
I'm seeing my phone move through Shanghai, China right now according to UPS as well. Started in ZhengZhou like most others.

Last updated was yesterday "Your package has been released by the government agency.".

Still waiting to see a departure scan for flight tracking.

Np here u go mate, I cropped after the KY scan for safety reasons (was surprised it got here early even with the "mechanical failure") and I ordered it with the T Mobile option so I could skate around Apple removing the ability to buy it unlocked and pay interest free monthly with the Apple card:

Interesting. Yours cleared export customs in Zhengzhou and went to Seoul, then Anchorage.

Mine started in Zhengzhou and then went to Shanghai where it was cleared (but no movement since).

I expect mine will go straight to Anchorage when it departs.

Same situation here. Started in Zhengzhou and went to Shanghai where it was cleared, but has not moved since. Hoping it'll end up in Anchorage sometime this weekend.
 
I just order a iPhone 15 Pro Max in Blue with 256 GB on October 1 - I hope my phone ships soon and it says it should arrive Oct 25 - 31 so it has been in processing all week and plus order a 2021 iMac since my old one Was getting slow and the arrival date for that is Oct. 26 to Nov 2 and I ordered they on Thursday of this week and it’s in processing also- that is the only I don’t like about getting a custom config iMac just takes so long- but I can understand about the iPhone 15 since it’s new and Apple dose not have stock. my Apple warehouse is in Clayto, In and I live in Zionsville- so if I order a item that is in stock I have it the next day

When do you think I will see my orders change to preaparing to ship?
To how mine is going I’ll say never lol but who know maybe your one of the lucky ones maybe you will even get yours before me even tho I ordered mine from the 15 of September
 
I feel like going to Samsung next year because this is ridiculous I don’t see y my phone should be stuck in china for days and days and to how things seems I think I have another week to go before I see any good progress. My tracking is stuck on:
Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery.
10/07/2023 6:23 PM
Zhengzhou, CN
So I know I ain’t getting it for now and it sucks to order on the 15 of September and people who order later than me be getting theirs so it’s not who comes first get first I think they just randomly sending ****
 
My phone delivery is estimated to be tomorrow again. Odd as they originally had that time and then removed it.

Currently my device is sitting quietly in Narita, JP. Departed Shanghai CN prior. I didn't think the shipments went through Japan but here we are.

Switch to Samsung lol
 
You're telling me Apple had a whole year to come up with a design and manufacture these iPhones in India or China and people's iPhones are still delayed until November? My 15 pro natural 128gb should be here by Oct 23-30

Right before my phone shipped I was seriously debating the Pixel 8 Pro. As much as I dislike Android I figured having a solid flagship may correct that issue as most phones I had were lower tier/had horrible battery. Though my family is complete iPhone and i have a watch/airpods x2, and ipad pro and it makes no sense to leave the ecosystem.

However I feel like UPS is ditching me like a prom date.

I've always said this. Phone manufacturers ship knowing they do not have the stock to furfill pre-orders yet they could wait a few weeks and push them all together. I don't get their reasoning when people can walk into an apple/tmobile/att etc and get the iphone while people who preordered are waiting til late November. Its just madness. Preorders should be first, everything else secondary.


I get demand but holy crap if you know its going to be big, then focus on your flagship devices and the colors you think will be more popular to push demand. However I never imagined the white titanium to be as popular as it is due to last years white.
 
Yeh Apple needs to do better like seriously as I been saying people who ordered later than me they got the iPhone already is like our iPhone just sitting on the track out of gas while others just be zooming pass

Vacationing is more or less the term I like to use. Seriously though I know how frustrating it can be though. I just feel like the whole pre-order thing is a joke when phones are randomly shipping.

Only thing that would make sense is if they got a shipment of Pro blue phones in and not Pro black for example and the GB. It seemed like the 512GB models were shipping faster but I imagine the demand was lesser than the standard 256GB Pro/PM.

This! The fact that you can walk into an Apple Store a Walmart a Best Buy and walk out with a phone seems wrong. We all waited in line via pre order and we are rewarded with no phone for weeks past launch. Apple Verizon and everyone really dropped the ball this year. Next time I’ll just wait 3 years to upgrade instead of 2. Best of luck to all of us. I also ordered a 512 thinking and hoping it would ship faster boy was I wrong

.... are you ok? The hostility is so real. I never understood the whole "XXX is better than XXX." preferences is everything here and its why we're different.

I had a galaxy phone in the past and it was decent but admittedly i had an older model like the S8. Battery was crap but i enjoyed the experience. However I just feel like iPhone is built better. Doesn't mean I dislike android as a whole, just some things are not good while others are superior. I just feel its not a proper fit for myself. However Android is nicer on so many more avenues. Its a trade off really.

Pixel would have been good but the reality is I just prefer iphone and im in the ecosystem and it just makes sense to stay instead of selling off my ipad, air pods, watch, and getting a galaxy watch, galaxy buds, etc. I have a galaxy tablet though.
