iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max Shipping Estimates Extending Into October

At this time last year, shipping and store pickup were pushed into October and beyond. I know this as I wanted to change from Black Titanium to Natural and couldn't do it at any storage size near my home, or my destination at the time of launch (Texas). This year, many configurations are still available in store.
I wonder if the October timeframe is a sign that sales have not been to the best compared to the years before.. it's 3 hours in and I expected we would hit November delivery dates by now.. Am I wrong previous iPhone sales slipped to November very quickly?
I used to be a "gotta have the next iPhone no matter what" person since the beginning. That all changed once I realized the minimal upgrades between the phones from year to year wasn't worth me making payments to Apple. Yes, the payments are always 0% but still. That being that, I'm still sporting my 13 Pro Max which still looks and works like it was new. It feels nice knowing I'm keeping more of my money and giving Apple much less of it. lol
Could also be better supply since this is year 2 of the Ti frames, could be both.
Telling people not get caught up in the hype while you’re in the comments of preorder thread on a fan site, is laughable. Sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself lol
Impossible to make a conclusion like that without knowing supply constraints. Supply constraints were very notable in past years.
Cue the chorus:
1. The iPhone 16 Pros are a flop!
2. The iPhone 16 Pros are more evolutionary than revolutionary.
3. Apple is constraining supply to build hype.
4. Nobody is upgrading which is why supply is flush.
5. Etc.

I decided use $1599+tax towards a new washer, dryer and a refrigerator set instead of buying a phone with a same exact main camera sensor.
I ordered two Desert 16 Pro, 512 at 6:58 am Pacific. I'm told to expect both on Sept 20. So, yeah, perhaps some configurations, but certainly not all. 😀
That's almost always the wiser move if your current phone is only one and maybe even two years old.
What fascinates me about comments such as this is the lack of realization that your current phone is so good, still, that you simply don't need to upgrade. The fact that you aren't motivated shows how good Apple products are (as you say, but don't seem to realize.)
That's due to Tim Cook trickery. In his office closet at Space Park he keeps a few billion dollars in idle currency and just moves it around from here to there and back to here, to make it look like Apple is doing well.
Shhhh... You didn't hear that from me.
That's funny, ZERO percent chance you are purchasing those three things for $1599 total.
Plenty available for pickup launch weekend in my area. Worth checking pickup options if you want one before October.
I'll be curious to know if the new fridge and freezer have the "same exact" cooling elements as the prior year freezers or if innovation has finally come to home appliances?
