Official iPhone 5S Orders - Shipped - Delivered Thread:

[B1ue_B1aze]

Wooooo my 5s was delivered today!!! I love this thing. It's just soooo fast!!!

 

[Fausty82]

Yep! Mine made the 2:53 out of Alaska too. It seems like it's just gonna be too close for it to be here tomorrow morning. Maybe it'll he here in the afternoon and I can still get it at the hub versus waiting an additional day for it to be on a truck.

For some real fun, find an online flight tracker and track your iPhone's flight from Anchorage to Louisville...

Flight Finder?

 

[adamhildenbrand]

I considered that but I might as well work the day. Of course the phone will be sitting on my desk begging to be activated but I'll have to wait until after work. At least it'll be in my hands versus sitting at my front door.

What company are you with? Verizon offers online activations.

I am going to be refreshing that like a crazy person. I usually get deliveries right around 430, and I told my husband to be paying close attention, and DO NOT LEAVE. lol

Sounds like he better not mess this one up?

I've been searching to see how long each leg of the flight takes . Once it's in KY it's a 2 hour flight to VT.

I'm in the same boat. Waiting for my unlocked phone to ship, which is still stuck in processing. I think it's ridiculous to be made to wait this long given the fact that I shelled out over $800 up front on top of the $300+ I paid for another AT&T gold iPhone. But that's just me being self-entitled. Ultimately it's just a phone.

As someone else mentioned, firstworldprobz

I really can't complain as they added $50 of value to my order without charging me. It would be nice to get my phone sooner, but, understanding lots of people are trying to get one of these I'm just glad I'm not placing an order today.

I'm with Verizon. I thought I had to plug into iTunes in order to activate?? I'd be psyched if I could do it at work tomorrow.

Go through with the connect to wifi ect ect and set up your country and everything then you can activate the phone on verizonwireless.com My Verizon tab-My Device-Activate and Switch Device

Do I have to be on wifi? Because I don't have access to our network at the office.

For mine I am assuming it will go from KY to Memphis, TN then take the one hour drive to Tupelo!

I believe it is either connect to wifi or connect to iTunes for the intial set up. You should test it out anyways. Or you might have a kind soul that can turn on their Personal Hotspot for you?

 

[07GD SFD]

Yeah I'll give it a shot, just for kicks.

 

[7w33t3r]

Okay... Everyone is getting theirs tomorrow, but mine still says it's coming Thursday, and I paid extra for faster shipping... WHAT THE HECK APPLE/UPS?!

I'm not really that pissed, since it's only one more day, but I'd love to get it tomorrow! #firstworldprobz

Mine is also scheduled for Thursday, also paid the extra $10. I'm in Colorado.

 

[adamhildenbrand]

I know you can activate it from verizonwireless.com but its just the iOS 7 setup that I am unsure about. I'll search around on the internet

Ha! They all left around the same time! They are all going pretty fast!

 

[adamhildenbrand]

Uh.. Well.. One of the planes has turned off track.. Not quite sure why that happened. Hopefully all of our iPhones haven't been hijacked somewhere over Canada.

Flight Finder*

I can't thank you enough for sharing the flight tracker suggestion! If I'm looking at this correctly, there were 4 flights in 30 minutes that left Anchorage for Louisville, and six UPS flights are currently in the air on that route. The Louisville airport will be very busy early Wednesday morning, from 12:45am to 1:30 EDT.

Here's wishing safe and speedy travels and transfers for all of our new iphones!

And this is your iPhone crossing the border!
