FlightAware Offers Tool For Tracking iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Pre-Order Shipment FlightsApple began shipping out early iPhone 6 and 6 Plus pre-orders on Thursday morning, and FlightAware, a site that offers live flight tracking, has created a tool that allows users to
track the flights carrying their iPhones after receiving a tracking number.
According to FlightAware, users can check the "departure scan" in their UPS tracking information which may match a departure time and flight listed on the tracking page. Currently, the page is tracking UPS flights from Shenzhen, China to Anchorage, Alaska and Anchorage to Louisville, Kentucky, all of which are standard flight rounds for shipping companies.
Currently, many iPhones that will be shipping out to customers overnight and in the morning are aggregated in Kentucky, a worldwide UPS air hub known as Worldport. Apple appears to have shipped the majority of iPhone units using Next Day Air.
The first iPhone 6 and 6 Plus shipments are expected to arrive on Friday, September 19, but oftentimes, some lucky customers receive their shipments early due to shipping company errors. Apple will also begin selling the devices in stores on Friday, but supplies are expected to be tight, especially for
the iPhone 6 Plus.
MacRumors readers who are waiting for an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus may also want to join in on the
dedicated Apple pre-order thread on the forums, where users share tracking information and socialize while waiting for their devices to arrive.
