I'm a bit upset, it's almost 5 PM and the last update was around 2 PM "arrived at the delivery facility", nothing since. I'm a bit pessimistic. This morning at 7 AM it was 250 km away from my place, it would be disappointing if their "express delivery" couldn't make it during the day...

Well, I lost hope too soon. Got a SMS 10 minutes ago from DHL, it's in delivery courrier now (at 5 PM, a bit odd lol) so I'll get it this evening :)
 
Those meeting are going to be tough 😂
lol i got a meeting at the same time... sadly mine did not come yet. most likely will arrive during the meeting 🙈
have fun!
Hehe yes, the meetings were tough! I was glad when I finished the day and could set up my new iPhone.

it's a pacific blue but in indoor light it looks almost like graphite! Today the weather was so dark and rainy, I couldn't really see it's real colour so I'm looking forward to brighter days.
 
Congrats guys, you are lucky. In Romania the preorders are starting on 6th of November with deliveries on 13th. I think we are always on the second wave because we don’t have an official Apple Online Store yet. Don’t know what is taking Apple so long to open one, it’s a country with 20 milion people and sales around 300k iphones a year. Hope that next year we will be sharing the goodies with you in the first wave. Enjoy and show us more pictures and 5G speed tests.
 
My status has finally changed from “processing” to “preparing for shipping”

Hopefully I will get it next week

Loving my graphite 12 Pro . I was wondering about something 🤔. After going into Settings-Cellular , no where do I find anything about 5G ( Yes , I know it's not everywhere yet..)

Will we have to get a new sim card at some point ????

Under Cellular > Cellular Data options, there's the option to turn on or off the 5G. If you don't see it, it's because it's not yet available for your operator...

I guess Monday, it will be shipped tomorrow with delivery on Monday.

It's Voice Over LTE, so a normally better quality audio call while on 4G. It also normally allows you to use the data while making a call without dropping back to 3G.

You are VERY optimistic mate :D

Anyway my est. delivery is 30 Oct -4 Nov. Finger crossed will be delivered sooner!

Not that optimistic. Realistic. The worst it will be is Tuesday, but most likely Monday excluding delivery issues or remote areas.

I hope so. At the moment it hasn’t been shipped yet, still on “preparing for shipment”. Maybe it will ship on Monday.

Which carrier uses Apple for Europe? DHL and UPS?

It will ship tomorrow or even tonight. Then overnight to you via DHL or UPS (not yet sure which is chosen where...).

Cool. Also I’m seeing that Apple updates the status of the shipments very late. So hopefully it has been shipped but Apple hasn’t updated the order 😬

You should get an e-mail from DHL/UPS, a text message (DHL) and an email from Apple.

I just noticed that the wall charger (order placed this morning) has been shipped, I checked the order from the app.

But I didn’t get any email either from Apple or the carrier. Weird. Anyway... let’s see.


EDIT: Just got the email from Apple (for the wall charger)

Went for the 12pro 256 graphite. Ordered about 20 min after pre-order launch. I‘m in Germany.
Delivery is set for 26th oct to 3rd nov, I‘m still on processing and no charge on my CC yet.
Anybody in the same/similar boat and waiting with me? 🥳

Very similar situation. I ordered the iPhone 12 Pro 256 (Pacific Blue, not Graphite) like 20mins after the pre-order like you. I was on "processing" status since this morning, now I have "preparing for shipping".

My est. delivery is 30 Oct - 4 Nov.

Very similar situation, I guess it will change in "prep for shipping" for you as well.

I ordered the 12pro 128 pacific blue around 15 min after pre-order launch and am still on processing ("Vorgang läuft"). In the order email it said that the estimated delivery is from 26-28 Oct, in the app its only saying 28 Oct.
