Just checked my DHL tracking (Italy) and it appears the item has been picked up last Monday, but shipment to me started today (Thursday, according to Apple instructions.
Every year it's the same process: DHL (or UPS) receives the stuff some days before and keep it in their storage until the day before official release.
Then they ship overnight to have them delivered to end user right on time.
Let’s hope so. My label was only created today. This is also my first time buying in release, so don’t have much experience with it at all.
 
I live in germany an order the graphite pro 13 at 21.09.. They shipped the phone today 😁
 
Dont worry about lack of tracking updates etc. Most of the time the phones travel in huge batches, not being scanned individually.

I have yet to have an iPhone delivery being delayed. I have bought on release date for 13 years in a row now… (Denmark. Various carriers)
 
Bah I got my DHL to Norway and it says 27 Sept… Ordered within minutes of the store going live.
 
Had the same (mine says processed, not sorted, is there a difference?). I think it might be different cached versions on apples side as opposed to a genuine update. I had the status jump pack and forth on apples pages all day. (between tomorrow and the 27th)
On the German site it is „Sendung Sortiert“, in the English site it is „processed“ 😉

I'm having my iPhone delivered by UPS and when I tried to change delivery address on their website I got an error message saying that it's only possible to change delivery address after one delivery attempt. That's putting me in a difficult position since I have to work all day tomorrow. My accessories got delivered by DHL and they offer the option to change delivery address before any delivery attempt has been made. Is there anything I can do about this?
 
(spain) Ok, it was saying monday, now DHL says tomorrow by the end of the day. it's in milan now. looks like it's arriving on release day definitely.

Talk to Apple. I had a similar situation (although in the UK and with DPD), and they had options available to change the address that I as the end-customer did not have. Might be something similar here, although, I'd guess time is running out for that.

It's the standard procedure: even if the stuff is already stored at courier's facility, the ticket/label will be revealed just before final shipment (to end user).
The only risk is about potential shipment congestion caused by covid.
So, if they declared September 24th for your delivery, you have 99,99% probability to get it tomorrow.

Thanks! I'll give it a go.

Germany here as well. I ordered my graphite Pro Max at around 14:15 on Sept. 17th. DHL says delivery on the 27th, Apple still says tomorrow and the package is/was in Brno. I hope this changes overnight.
 
Portugal here. I made a company buy last Friday, always had tomorrow as delivery date. But 2 hours ago it changed to Monday :/ However, 30 minutes later they finally charged my credit card, so i don t know what to think.

It should, DHL flight leaving from there at 9.20pm to Leipzig
 
My iPhone 13 Pro status had 24th September as delivery date until today around 17:00 (5 PM), when it suddenly changed to 27th September. I hope it’s just a tracking bug and my phone arrives tomorrow… (Poland)
 
13 Pro expected mid Oct - i opted to order later due to first batch end up having quality issues like huge gap between frame and screen…
 
Finally some movement! It's in Cologne already. Don't know how it got there though.
