Have you pre-ordered your iPhone 16? If so, you're probably eager to track its progress and know when it'll arrive. While Apple's website might not be providing the most up-to-date information, there's a trick to get the tracking details you crave. 

Before diving in, consider this: what if Apple's method of tracking pre-orders is actually a deliberate delay tactic? What might they be hiding? Is there a chance that your iPhone 16 has already shipped, but Apple just isn't telling you? As we explore this topic, let's keep these questions in mind.

When it comes to pre-order tracking, Apple's website usually shows a "preparing to ship" status, even if the package has already left the warehouse. But fear not, fellow iPhone enthusiasts! There's a clever way around this:

By visiting UPS's website, you can track your iPhone 16's journey and watch it approach your doorstep - all while Apple still shows your order as "preparing to ship". To do this, you'll need to enroll in UPS's My Choice platform. This will give you a bird's-eye view of all packages coming to your address, including your shiny new iPhone 16.

Alternatively, you can use UPS's "Track by Reference Number" feature. However, due to security concerns, this method isn't always reliable. For the best results, stick with the My Choice platform.

As you track your iPhone 16, remember that not all pre-orders have been transferred to UPS yet. Keep checking throughout the week if you can't find your tracking information.
