Does anyone know if I can to the Apple Store before opening to purchase an iPhone 17 Pro Max? Located in Ontario, near Toronto. I already got one via pre-order on launch day, but need to purchase one more. Been checking online availability, but no stores are getting stock. Thanks!
 
In-store pickup availability has been updated. Looks like most models and locations are available Today. Lots of Orange ones for those looking.
Do you have any info on in-store purchases before opening in the Ontario/GTA/Toronto area? Looking for a 17 Pro Max in Deep Blue. Thank you!
 
Which model though?

The orange 17 PM is mid October now for delivery. I just checked and 256 GB model is not available at all for pickup in any of the closest Apple Stores in Toronto.

Were you able to finally get one? I got one that I pre-ordered, but I need to buy one more. All locations in the GTA are out of stock of the 17 PM 256GB Deep Blue

Stock can update at any time as stores receive shipments. There’s no real way to tell when they’ll get more. Just need to keep refreshing and hope one pops up!

I didn't bother looking for one since it's about 30-45 minutes travel time to the 2 nearest stores. He's hoping I get mine Sept. 25 like the pre-order delivery date says (Sept. 25 - Oct. 1), but so far on Sept. 22 today my credit card has not yet been charged and my order status is still on "Processing" as it has been since the Sept. 12 order date.

Been checking availability today since 5 AM. Eaton Centre did pop up a couple times for my configuration, but didn't want to go all the way Downtown to pickup lol. Will continue checking for a few more hours. If nothing, will continue tomorrow
 
I don't know if this will help anyone but my order to delivery timeline for the iPhone 17 Pro 256 Deep Blue was as follows:

16th September - Order Placed
16th September - Order Processing/Payment Received Estimated Delivery was stated as 2nd - 8th October

Kept checking the Apple Store App hoping for the delivery to change to earlier

22nd September - Estimated Delivery date moved up to 26th September - 02nd October
23rd September - Order changed to Preparing to Ship
24th September - Shipped with an estimated delivery of 26th - 02nd October
26th September - Delivered
 
How are you liking the orange colour?
I quite like Cosmic Orange. It’s nice to finally have a bold colour in a Pro.

I am using a case though. If I were somebody that preferred caseless iPhones, I’d strongly consider silver as there is no anodized colour to scratch off.

My current case is a yellow-orange “Sunshine” coloured elago silicone case that complements it well. I must admit though a lot of case colours do clash with the orange.

Returned Deep Blue for the Cosmic Orange. No regrets.
Near the end of my 14-day return window I went into an Apple Store to see the different colours and was very close to doing the same. The orange aluminum is truly gorgeous in person, and I don't think photos do it justice at all. The only barrier was that they didn't have any non-Max ones in stock - if that were different, I'd probably be sitting here with a Cosmic Orange iPhone.

But I've also grown to be happy with the Deep Blue since then. I think especially in the right light it has a beauty of its own and it's at least a colour I know I'll be happy with for the next couple of years. I do worry the Cosmic Orange might still be a fad for me and when the novelty wears off I won't like it as much.

Beautiful. I am grateful that there's no objectively bad option this year. I was just outside not too long ago and flipped my phone around, in the sunlight the Deep Blue is damn good looking in its own right.
