iPhone 13 Pro Average Delivery Date? Flight on Sunday.

[jmack007]

I have a flight on Sunday (26th) and I am curious about average US delivery times on iPhone launches in previous years. Based on your experience, if I manage to get in a good preorder before the ship date starts to slip, would delivery be expected on Friday, or would it be the following week? I am located in a major city center in FL.

I realize I could do a store pickup, but I really don't feel like being in a launch-day line.

in recent years, if you're on for pre order opening and you're relatively quick, release date is almost guaranteed. no rumors at this time have indicated the present global crisis is impacting iphone availability. the watch is the only device currently with issues, and that's rumored to be production quality issues, not chip shortage from what i've read around here.

store pickup really isnt bad on launch day, you get a 30 minute window and if you're towards the beginning of that window, you're likely getting in within 10 minutes (in my experience)

even if you dont get friday for a delivery, most will be delivering through the weekend especially if youre in a major city.
