13 pro max 1TB Ordered: Sep. 17, 2021 at 11:46 a.m. ET says expected to ship Oct 1-8. No movement. Ordered my wife’s 10 min before. Got hers this last Tuesday same config. I’m seeing no movement at all. I also don’t see a lot of post with same config or expected ship. Was wondering if anyone else out there is in same time frame seeing movement.
 
Just ordered my 13 Pro Max Sierra Blue!

Trading in my 12 Pro.

I was in a similar situation as you. Here’s my story…13 Pro Max 1TB Graphite ordered on Sep. 17th at 07:40 am ET (20 minutes before the official preorder start time. At the time of order the expected delivery notification on the order screen read “Sep. 27-Oct. 4.” However, on the order status screen the expected ship date read “Ship Date 09/24-10/01. On 09/26 the “we’re preparing your order” message updated to “preparing to ship.” On 09/27 I received a ups notification via the app, it contained a tracking number. Only the label was created, no pickup by UPS. Later that night, the was movement by UPS and the phone was delivered on 09/28 around 7pm CT. When I received my phone the AT&T order status remained unchanged from “preparing to ship.” Now this is the hilarious part, late yesterday evening I received an email notification from AT&T indicating my how order has “shipped.” Long story short, do not go by AT&T’s order status page. Your phone may have already shipped or a labor has been created. Check the FedEx and UPS apps constantly. If you have Delivery Manager via Fed Ex, check for advanced shipping and it’s quite possible you may see your tracking number, if AT&T has used FedEx for your device. Hopefully this helps…

I ordered the same one on the 19th and have the same dates. No change yet here

I didn't see anything other than processing your order until a few hours before it was out for delivery. You have 4 full days until the 8th.
 
I ordered an iPhone 13 pro max 256 silver on Sept 26th and have a date of Oct 1st to 8th and no movement. I ordered my daughter an iPhone 13 256 blue and she received the phone on the 29th. Are the Max phones being delayed. I still have have 4 more days to wait.
 
Not to give u false hope but even though both my wifes and my phone were ordered and received at the same time i didnt get updates until like 2hrs before it was received. Both 17th ordered received both fri afternoon.
 
Ordered sept 19 with oct 1-8 shipping. Pro max sb 1tb. Got shipping info today coming tomorrow. I’m in the DC area. I think everyone with this ship date should see movement soon

Not a preorder, but I just ordered via AT&T today and was quoted a delivery time of October 15-22. I got tired of checking in store stock on the Apple Store app, and Apple is quoting delivery of November 4-11. Curious to see if AT&T can actually deliver on time
 
Just for another data point...

Ordered on Sept 30th from AT&T and was quoted a delivery of Oct 12-19th. Today it says "It should ship by Tue., Oct. 19, 2021".

That was my worry going through AT&T directly that it would most likely be shipped at the later half of the estimate they provide. Hopefully you get yours sooner than the 19th!
 
Either I got lucky or this is nothing but a label. I ordered mine yesterday (24 hours ago) and just saw two packages heading my way (my shopping cart mysteriously included a free wireless charger).

1. shipper: IMM-DF08, coming from Plainfield, IN
2. shipper: ATC, coming from Fort Worth, TX

Order status still say delivery date 10/11-18.

I ordered a week ago on September 28. My order just updated to "Great news! We're just about ready to ship your order." Projected shipping between October 8 - 15

Anyone else do a NextUp trade in and still haven't received anything about sending your old phone back?
 
Decided to go to the AT & T store yesterday to look at the 13 Pro Max and the 13 Pro. I wanted to go smaller this time so I ordered the Sierra Blue 13 Pro. I am trading in my XS Max and since we are unlimited plus customers (4 phones) they are giving me $1000 for my XS Max, which is paid off. They will credit me for the next 3 years with roughly $28 off my bill each month. I had to pay sales tax and $30 upgrade fee. Just received an email saying it has shipped!

Well guys I’m back! I guess I have to go to this whole process again. I just placed an order for a Sierra Blue 13 Pro Max 256Gb for my son. This will be his first phone. The expected ship date is Oct. 18th-25th with expected delivery dates as Oct. 19th-26th. I am hoping I don’t experience the same headaches associated with ordering and receiving the Graphite 13 Pro Max 1TB. Wish me well!

They moved my delivery dates to October 14-21, positive sign I guess
 
I kept seeing mixed messages about trading it in per their instructions (via mail, where they could indiscriminately claim your phone was in poor condition) or in the store (not allowed, or the credits won't process right).

I got my 4 iPhones by Monday 9/27 to my front door, and noticed the 4 trade-in return kits in my mailbox the next day. I rushed to the post office (making sure I put the right iPhone with the right kit).

3 out of 4 just got marked delivered today (the other should be shortfully too hopefully). On AT&T's site, they're all "In Transit". Hopefully they process and confirm by the end of next week.

Anyone had recent experience with how long it takes AT&T to confirm the trade-in and process credits once delivered to them?
In case anyone's following my saga with my trade-ins, of the 3 that were received 10/1 per USPS (and 1 arrived Monday 10/4), 1 finally got 1 marked as Processed.

https://www.att.com/myorders/ We finished inspecting your device and we'll keep you posted on your credit amount. You may receive this credit as a bill credit, one-time credit, or gift card.

https://tradein.att.com/trade-in-status shows more detail, with promo code QS35MINTIV. AT&T claims I put in the wrong model. I thought the family member that had the SE had 64, but it was 128 per AT&T. I really hope I get the full potential $350 for it. It didn't have cracks, but had minor scratches on the body and screen due to no screen protector. The other 3 are in much better condition, crossing fingers they get processed before the first bill hits.

Just got home and set up my new Sierra Blue 13 Max!! Got delivered today and WOW this phone is something else. Everything is so much faster now with the new 120Hz screen and probably also that new A15 chip.

This being my first Pro Max I gotta say I had no idea what I was missing out on but I’m glad I waited until now because this thing is incredible. I like using the swipe to text gestures and the new refresh rate makes everything lightening fast. Transitions are so smooth now you have to see it to believe it. I haven’t even gotten to the cameras yet but I’m sure they’re great as well.
