I believe you can pre-sign for it if you have UPS My Choice...

iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max Shipping Estimates Extend Into November

Gotta have the web site and the Apple Store app. Placed at store.apple.com at 8:03AM... the Apple Store app didn't work until like 8:45, but my wife was getting a pink 15, so that wasn't Pro Max level demand.
Around here, the local UPS guys won't even leave it if pre-signed. People snatch these things and Apple puts a lot of pressure on UPS to get signature on delivery for iPhones specifically.
Between people I know in person and people on social media, I really get the impression that a lot of people are very excited for the iPhone 15 Pro.
What do you gain from having an unlocked phone? The freedom to change carriers? How often do you do that?
What is the point of waking up early to spend $2,000 on a new phone when the Apple Store app keeps crashing for an HOUR and it’s SOLD OUT by the time it finally works?
Apple, you are a trillion dollar company. FIX YOUR PRE-ORDERS.
It’s been like this every year for the last several years.
I’m deleting worthless Apple Store App. I suggest using the web store instead.

Besides the freedom to change carriers, when you travel you can get a local number if your phone is unlocked. You also have the option of selling it before your two year carrier contract is finished.
I know 3 others ordering today. It took all of us around 15 minutes to get in to complete the order.
This is my usual experience.
It’s life challenges like this that build character.

This whole closing down the store, not provisioning enough capacity, shipping dates extending is a cheap marketing trick.
Are you aware that people with phones other than iphone 14 exist?
So if you don't travel that often, the only perk is that you're not locked for 2+ years. Got it, thanks.
what are you talking about? of course I do, I've been saying that all week (not expecting you to know my post history). people like me on iPhone 12 are very very excited about this release.
Because they are talking total rubbish. No one can predict product demand until launch day
Only thing tying me to the Apple store directly is the trade-in option. Otherwise Best Buy has it available for launch day pickup. Shoot. I forgot to set my alarm to land the pre-order, but it looks like after reading through the comments that wasn’t necessarily a guarantee to land one on launch day. I believe last year additional pickup inventory went live the morning of launch day and I was able to checkout & select a pickup window, don’t remember, will have to try again next week.
What's the point of waking up early, hammering refresh on multiple devices, buying an iPhone you didn't even want (256 vs 128), going to carrier websites because Apple's isn't working, just to buy a shiny new iPhone?
uh oh. MY CC was declined for "security reasons" and had to verify if I authorized activity
WTH, hope this doesn't change my ship date

I was one of the unfortunates to get an Oct 9-16th delivery. So much for “Get Ready” on the app. Pretty terrible experience.
