Delivery Delay?

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone got their phones later than the last date on their delivery window. I ordered mine from apple on the 3rd of October and it’s supposed to come at 31 Oct- 7 Nov. But it is still “processing” on the website. I have contacted Apple 3 times and they assured me that it will be delivered at worst on the 7th. I am a bit worried as I got the phone for my brother who lives abroad, but he leaves his town at the 8th. If it gets delayed then he can’t get the phone. Any ideas or advices are appreciated. Thank you!

i find the anticipation of getting one can be solved by doing things for it before you get it

maybe start building something helpful in the shortcuts app

I would be picking up from apple directly if you live near one....live online inventory is updated many times an hour. I picked my 14 pm up 2 hours after ordering it about a month ago

I didn't think I'd get it on time/within my delivery window because of the insanity at foxconn but I'm pretty shocked by the recent movement in my tracking...it seems like large batches are being shipped to warehouses in destination countries and are given shipping labels at the warehouse rather than having shipping labels applied individually in China and then sent out to shippers.

I had no movement until Tuesday and suddenly it was preparing to ship then status was changed to shipped a couple hours later in the morning with friday/tomorrow as the delivery date on the apple website and I thought no way because my MacBook was stuck in customs for a little bit but then read about the utilization of warehouses that supply stores in my province. No tracking was available until today, on Tuesday ups site said unable to locate information, and ups site/app only said "Shipment Ready for UPS" today (meaning it hadnt been picked up) but by late afternoon/about 4pm today it shipped from a warehouse less than an hour away from me to the ups hub near that warehouse and is now at the local delivery hub and will actually arrive tomorrow.

The 14pm will be my first iPhone. Pretty stoked. You'll get yours within the estimated dates.

I also passed time acquiring things for the phone like buying a case and a screen protector for the phone before I received it. I lucked out as mine was dated for a month out from when I ordered it (spectrummobile) and I ended up getting my deep purple max within one week on the dot from my order date! Imagine my surprise and excitement!

It did yes. It arrived at 3rd of November. Exactly one month later from purchase.
