Ahead of the launch of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro later this week, Apple has started shipping the units out to customers who pre-ordered them.

The order status on Apple’s website might not change, but if you have your order number, you can track it from the UPS website. You’ll need the reference number, which is basically the order number minus the last two digits. You will then have to use UPS My Choice for tracking the status of your order. In some cases, it is possible that UPS is yet to receive the iPhone from Apple so it might not show any updates for that tracking number.

Most customers who pre-ordered the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro should get it on launch day even if UPS says the order could be delivered earlier in the week. Apart from iPhones, customers have already started receiving their official iPhone 13 cases from Apple.

Have you pre-ordered the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro? If so, what’s your order status? When do you expect to get your new iPhone — on launch day or is there going to be a delay? Drop a comment and let us know!
