The initial batch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus orders are starting to ship out from China. Apple is both UPS and Fedex to ship out iPhones.



While Apple has not sent out shipping emails or updated the status online to "shipped," users who ordered with Apple can use a trick to find their tracking number on UPS or Fedex.



Note that this trick only works for orders from Apple.com!



Simply fill out the track by reference form on UPS or Fedex, and use your phone number associated with your order. If that phone number does not work, keep trying any phone number that could be associated with your wireless account or the number you used to upgrade. Sometimes it could be the phone number attached your Apple ID, or your billing address phone number.



If none of your phone numbers work, try entering your Apple Order number. Some have reported success by leaving off the last two characters of their order number, but we found ours by entering the entire number.



Don't panic if UPS/Fedex can't not find your tracking, Apple is still sending these out! We should note that although Apple is already shipping these packages, don't expect to receive them until the September 19.



Once your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus ships out, the device is automatically added to your support profile page on Apple.com



This trick works for all Apple online orders including Mac, iPad and iPhone.
