Carrier iPhone 11, Pro, Pro Max (2019) Apple Store US Pre-orders, Orders and Delivery Status Thread

[ECUalum03]

Easiest pre-order ever and I didn’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to go it! Order placed and confirmed by 8:03am. I wanted green but went with the silver 11 Pro 256gb and my husband got a space gray 11 Pro 256gb.

Got preordered ‘sim free’ midnight green 512 GB for pick up at the store on September 20. I am so thankful because after my preorder, no store pick up available for all sizes.

The same thing happens to Apple Palo Alto.

Based on store pickup availability (DC metro), iPhone 11 Pro Max in Midnight Green sold out the fastest. But it took a full 12 minutes, slower than last year’s XS Max Gold which sold out around 1-2 minutes.

I guess no unlocked devices for launch day delivery. Thanks, Apple.

If you read the note it says that almost every phone sold on the Apple store is unlocked. The only way I could get a locked phone, and they list all of the choices, is to get one under ATT Next. Every other option was unlocked.

All green Pro Max models are already showing non launch day delivery dates. Wow.

That’s why I decided to go with trust ole space gray I knew a new color would be popular and probably have a lower launch day stock.

Mine updated from the on hold to Sept 20th delivery! 11 Pro Max Midnight Green 256GB.

11 Pro Max 512 in green Sep 20th delivery. Already in upgrade program and preorder took about 10 seconds to do thru app. Fastest way to preorder.

My confirmation doesn’t have a carrier beside it like some here. This is fine right??

I always hold for pickup at UPS then I get it at like 9am

Do you have to wait until a tracking number is issued or can you do that when ordering? I usually work late on Fridays and would way rather pick mine up from UPS than have it sit on my stoop.

 

[amyangel]

ordered through the app - 11 Pro Max 256gb in Gold unlocked. Email confirmation just arrived and is Sept 20

 

[batristain]

While it is no guarantee, that happened to me twice in the last three years, and both times was moved up to the correct date

That is why I'm holding out hope that mine will move up since the same thing happened to me (first time ever)....so I'm really hoping it moves up....but if it doesn't before I leave for Cairo I will probably cancel....we will be gone from the 26th until the 4th of October...

 

[trickyboy]

A few of us are. Someone above is completed. So weird.

Yes you can. If it shows your phone number you hit the bottom option that says buy a new phone then the sim free option is under the carriers it’s there for all models.

Yup, interesting still saw a Pro Max 512 Green available like 2 mins ago in Virginia

Well that was frustrating. I watched someone else's Apple Store come to life at 8am while mine was still "coming soon" at 8:05am. Do I kill the app and lose my place in line or kill a stuck app? I killed it and was able to get my order in. Still getting delivery on Friday!

You don’t leave the app open. You have to force kill and relaunch every time. Do this as fast as possible near launch time.

 

[felixroqu3]

The payment.

Oh. Gotcha. Makes sense.

 

[Mac Tyson]

Preordered 11pro, 64gb, midnight green, tmobile and 11pro max 64gb, mid. green, tmobile.

Only completed the 64gb successfully. Had to change the 11pro max to 256gb to get a 9/20 delivery date.

 

[HardHatMac9]

Ditched the bigger size this year and am going with the pro instead of the pro max. I’m a little surprised that the pro screen is a bit smaller than the iPhone 11 screen. Can someone explain why?

 

[wacky4alanis]

Finished my order at 8:03 AM! 11 pro midnight green with 256 GB. Ready for pickup at the Apple Store at 8 AM on 9/20!

 

[AustinIllini]

Any Austin folks, Apple Domain NORTHSIDE still has midnight green models for pickup.

 

[Payton34]

Got in right at 8am EST. The Apple Store app is THE way to go each and every launch day! Still hasn’t failed me!

It is carried over from last year where the XR was bigger than the XS

I used to always do in store pickup but these past few years there’s always a 30-45min line just for in store pickup orders. This year I figured out how to change my shipping address to my office. Shipping it straight there. Will be much much easier.

 

[iApplereviews]

Order placed. Looking at a Friday delivery for now. We'll see, if this might slip to Thursday

It won’t UPS isn’t allowed to deliver early. It likely won’t even be in the US until Thursday

I forgot to change my ApplePay option on my phone. The Apple Store App on the phone came up first, before Safari on the desktop.

Anyway, the charge went to my bank card instead of my Apple Card. I can't cancel, or make any changes to the order, at least for a couple of hours... Also Apple Chat and Phones aren't taking any calls, to head this off...

Never had them unreachable before nor not be able to make changes immediately.
