I’m pretty sure I’m going to pull the trigger on this, it’s $4 a month cheaper than what I’m currently paying on my 15 PM but the delays have me thinking I will wait a week or so to finalize.
But I am convinced this is the right choice over the Air. I thought about it hard but there’s still too many cuts made to the Air to justify its price compared to a Pro Max. I really want the Air form factor but maybe next year’s version will be better.
I always worry about new form factors like this in the first year. Bandgate has scarred me.
Same for a foldable phone next year. As much as I want it right away, I won’t be getting the first version of it.
You can tap that in the app for more info. But I logged into my fedex account and I see a shipment coming on Friday that is being held until Friday and I assume that’s what it is.
My phones in ATT still say pre order on a base i17 and getting ready to ship on the PM
this is all mine says when i click inside the box unfortunately / also how do u know what acct its linked too inside ur fed ex app?

You’re fine I don’t think AT&T is updating progress with the most up to date information. Mine says “Ready to Ship” but I can’t see it in my FedEx app yet. If it follows past preorders I won’t see it until Tuesday and it’ll be here Friday. I wouldn’t worry.
Just setup a FedEx Delivery Manager account. It’s free…you can track any package being delivered to the address or name associated with the account.
On Friday, I preordered my first iPhone ever after 15 years on Android (17 Pro Max, Orange, 256GB). AT&T updated pretty quickly yesterday and said it was ready to ship by about noon eastern, but still haven't seen it come up on FedEx. I know it's probably nothing but I'm impatient and excited about a new phone for the first time in years
Yea like I said I wouldn’t worry about it. I usually get a new iPhone every other year. My 15PM didn’t show up in FedEx until the Tuesday before release day. If I don’t see mine by Tuesday I’ll be worried.

I ordered 4 new phones (family members.) Got notification on FedEx for two of the phones. I checked UPS and there’s also two labels created for delivery on 9/19. So weird that 2 are with FedEx in Flowermound, TX and the other 2 with UPS are in Indiana. All 4 require signatures. First year that it’s ever required signature. AT&T status doesn’t show tracking yet.
where do you go to see the ups ones? also if i haven’t got a email regarding shipping do u think mine will be delayed?
It’s not unusual for AT&T to use both UPS and FedEx. It is unusual for one order to come from 2 different carriers. I guess it depends on what configurations you ordered and where they are distributed from.
I’m assuming you had a few different models in your order, correct?
no i just have 1 phone but it still says “order processing” and a lot of people have had shipping numbers sent out etc and mine hasn’t moved in status i just wanted to see if this was normal or will mine most likely be delayed
I got the following:
256gb silver PM
512gb silver PM
256gb blue PM
256gb blue mist 17
I have UPS My Choice App. I haven’t received a shipping email from ATT…usually in the past, I’ve gotten those emails on Wednesday or even as late as Thursday.
When did you order? And what is your current status on ATT?
I know you weren’t asking me but I just seen that my label was created and being shipped…to my surprise…via UPS. Coming from Indiana not Texas.
Ordered a PM Deep Blue 512GB for reference
i ordered around noon and it said shipping sept 18th and my app says the same and the date hasn’t changed , i check fed ex and ups website and nothing there either so im a little worried i called the store they said mine is “reserved” i just wanna know if u think ill be delayed
I think you’re fine. If it says shipping 9/18, you’ll get it 9/19.
Your right we are in the same boat, ship, plane, warehouse.
I kept checking FedEx, but mine was only scanned today anyway.I also have the Pro Max Deep Blue.
even tho i haven’t got a shipping label created or can’t see it in my fed ex ur ups?
Check UPS…AT&T usually uses FedEx but apparently they are using UPS as well. Something told me to check and there it was. Didn’t get a notification or anything.
