You got 2 docks? I really like the watch/phone dock
I wasn't intending to, but the Apple lightning dock came really fast; and I didn't know about the Belkin dock at the time. I'll keep one at my desk and one by my nightstand.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.

Yes, if you actually pre order and get it delivered on launch day. If you see it online and reserve it, there is no risk, you just have to wait in line. When I got my Iphone 6 plus, my order from At&t hadn't shipped. I believe it had been a few days past the launch day with no progress, just processing.
I checked online and the model I wanted was available at a local mall, but I hesitated, and it was gone. I did this for a few days and then finally, when my At&t order hadn't shipped and was still processing, I reserved one online when the model I wanted became available.
The line wasn't bad after a fews days, and the Apple employees were real helpful. Dealing with AT&T and their Next program where I had the issue. This year I will check to see if I can score one since I'm off for that day. It just depends what stage my order is at that time. I may just wait it out.

Trying to figure out the best way for FedEx to leave the package at the house Friday since it says on my shipping confirmation that a "indirect signature is required"

I thought they ship with UPS exclusively but if it's FedEx I believe you can create a FedEx account and arrange to pickup at FedEx location on the tracking page. That's what I did with UPS to ensure I didn't miss the delivery after work Friday. Good luck ��
Someone posted earlier, that if you ordered your AT&T phone from AT&T and NOT through Apple it comes FedEx. I was with you and thought UPS too. I wanted to look up indirect signature to be 100% sure. I should know this, I used to own the Shipping Annex, but we shipped FedEx and were not the receiver.
Indirect Signature Required: FedEx obtains a signature from someone at the delivery address; from a neighbor, building manager or someone at a neighboring address; or the recipient can also leave a FedEx Door Tag authorizing release of the package without anyone present.
But yes, maybe he can have "hold at a FedEx location" The waiver and having my phone on a porch would scare me personally. I may still do that with UPS and my iPhone if I can't pay for an earlier delivery. My iPhone case came today, and it did not arrive until 6pm. I don't want to sit at the office until 6pm waiting for my phone on Friday. We have 100 people coming to my office / work for a BBQ Saturday.
I wonder if any of the carrier stores will have any Plus models in stock tomorrow?
My 7 Plus 32gb Silver was shipped 2 weeks early and will be here tomorrow. I was scheduled to get mine by 9/30
I don't understand how I ordered my phone at 3:02 on the first night your could. I ordered a Matte Black 7 Plus 256 GB and got a ship date of 9/23. I doubt they sold out in 2 minutes for that model. So I assume Apple doesn't have them available for 9/16, which makes no sense if they hold an event to announce a phone and announce a date they are available when they aren't actually available on that day.
