I’m one of the people who is getting theirs delivered tomorrow (Saturday) before noon and I finally got a FedEx update saying it got picked up. Looks like it’ll be shipped overnight from Fort Worth! I have a 14 pro 128gb deep purple

B/c of my obsessive self, I went to track all Fedex outbound flights from Fort Worth (AFW) on FlightAware. I only see 2 more Fedex outbound flights today/early tomorrow, both to their Memphis hub (vs. Indianapolis). If I'm correct, the next flight out is scheduled to sent out at 10:41pm CDT to Memphis, which it'll be distributed out to your individual cities. Next flight out after that is 3:46am CDT tomorrow but not sure how that'll get us a before noon Saturday delivery.

So for those of us checking for FedEx updates all day, I don't think you'll see the package leave Fort Worth until ~10:41pm CDT at the earliest. You might see a "Leave FedEx origin facility" alert sometime before then, which means it's probably heading to the airport.

Memphis is considered a FedEx Superhub for express. Planes will leave from there

Just wanted to let everyone know my story in case others have similar issues.

Ordered my iPhone 14 Pro Max Space Black 1TB on 9/9 just after 5:00am PST got the confirmation email all set. And still nothing in site. I check with fedex nothing shipped. I have been told 5 different stories by xfinity.

1. Via chat 9/15 oh good news your phone shipped via fedex here’s tracking. The tracking was false never worked but they assured me it shipped And would arrive 9/16
2. Via phone 9/15 oh sorry sir that phone won’t arrive until 10/28
3. Via phone supervisor my system shows 9/16 no issues but is in the warehouse waiting to be shipped allow a few days but again system says tomorrow.
4. Via chat 9/16 here’s your tracking for fedex again bogus does not work. Was assured it would Arrive by 7:12 on 9/16 today…
5. Via in person at xfinity store well it’s backordered and I have no eta just awaiting fulfillment

Moral of the story I wish Xfinity would be more transparent on this launch and just be honest with what is happening if they don’t have it tell us……

Mine is showing a “Left FedEx origin facility” scan at 4:13 pm CDT :D

Ordered two phones on 9/9, 14 pro 256gb black (order placed 5:05am PT) and 14 pro 256gb silver (order placed 6:46am PT). Both phones were picked up by Fedex today and are scheduled for delivery tomorrow 9/17 before 12pm.

Say you ordered a 14 Pro from both Apple and Xfinity, and the Apple one arrived today and the Xfinity one is not arriving until Monday. Would it be possible to set up the one from Apple (on an Xfinity account) and on Monday return the one from Xfinity to Apple? Both phones are the same model, including color and capacity.

The eSim activation isn't ready for primetime. Xfinity, Apple, and US carriers must be getting so many calls from people who are used to a simple activation. This was the longest activation process I have ever experienced. Mine finally went through after 3 tries.

A heads up, once my 14 Pro Max was finished with the transfer from my 13 Pro Max, it rebooted to a black screen. There was no way to turn it on with the power button, connecting it to a charger produced the same result. I decided to do a force reset, volume up, volume down, and hold the power button. Sure enough, that fixed the dark black screen that was powered on the whole time but pitch black.

I don't think it's possible. In Xfinity app once the device is active, they already have your IMEI number which won't match with the one from Apple.
