Firstly, this is the first time hearing that apple is using boat to ship an iphone. I have never heard this before, unless this is something new they are doing. In most cases, they fly out from China in bulks and gets distributed to one of the 3/4 warehouses mentioned and from there they can then distribute to customers.

But I agree as why some customers has to wait that long. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
Was announced during this past Sept keynote when they revealed the Series 9 and iPhone 15 models. Hereā€™s also clip

Sorry, I havenā€™t had time to look over the threadā€”but, is UPS/Apple requiring a release authorization this year to leave it at the door? I just got the shipment notification on my 15 PM from Apple today. Thanks for the help.

Got notification today that my phone is now actually shipping by UPS. It's coming from TN to Texas. Shows an ETA of Tuesday, but Apple said Wednesdays.

I did not have to sign for mine. They left it on the porch.

I received my PM on launch day. Unfortunately I ordered NT, couldnā€™t stand the color. Sent it back on the 28th and ordered the White PM. My delivery date was 11/20- 11/27. Yesterday it was pushed forward to 11/13 - 11/20. Just received notification that it was shipped and delivery is 11/3. Pleasant surprise!

I've been on the IUP since it started. I haven't noticed this in the past, but today I went into settings and saw that AppleCare+ is not applied to the phone. Anyone else notice this on their IUP phones? I'm thinking they might be adding it in waves to the IUP phones.

I've been looking at the 15 Pro TI/256 for about a week. The day before yesterday the site quoted in store/delivery of Nov. 9. Yesterday I checked and it's available for in store pickup. Bought it. Today it's still available for immediate pickup or a delivery of Nov 14-17.

Is the express delivery reliable on the apple site? I ordered yesterday with express delivery of today but looking at my order, it says December 4-6. Which is it?

Thatā€™s odd. Apple chat said the express delivery of ā€œtomorrowā€ isnā€™t correct. Well then, they need to fix that because it says that every time I configure the iPhone.

Anyway, next question, can you use the apple account balance combined with CC payment at the Apple Store?

I know you canā€™t do it online to do pickup.

Yes you can and no unless you cancel it re do it and I ordered one for a family member and it shipped already waiting for tracking

It really does make me kinda sad. I love talking to everyone here who shares the same enthusiasm that have for Apple products. When other people see that I have a new iPhone, Iā€™m often met with indifference to outright contempt, so I keep it low key. Here though, I can revel in the excitement with you guys.

The hate and jest in my office can be real.. Iā€™m the same- happy to share my love for an iPhone and its beauty!

Ok! this is pretty cool. Launch days are the best at an Apple Store. Just amazing!

Did it for my 12 and itā€™s awesome!

Only downer was it was during difficult times.

Everything good, just loading apps now.
Here it is in her new case.
I really like the white. Tomorrow husband and I will get gutsy and fight the crowds to go to the Apple Store to get a good look at the other colors as well as the other new products like FineWoven. I want to see in person.
