Not on back order but am tracking ship dates in order to get a phone as a gift and have it arrive at the right time. Most recently the 11 Pro in most colors and configs slipped from 10/14-10/21 to 10/15-10/22. So the bad news is that new orders keep getting pushed farther out. The good news is that this is the first time it was only a single day. I would imagine these dates will converge with present-day in the not too distant future.
