Depending on what you trade in and how long you keep the device it can still be better deal. Just saying.
I got two phones, an iPhone 17 Pro in Cosmic Orange with 256GB and an iPhone Air in Light Gold with 256GB. I will be picking both of them up at our local Apple Store on Sept. 19. The Air would have delivered to my house by Sept 25, so I decided to pick them up instead.

I was thinking of trying a trade-in with ATT since they offered an $830 trade-in for the Air and $1100 trade-in for the Pro for any phone that’s an iPhone 13 or above in any condition, but the stickler is in the details. They give you the trade-in value monthly over 36 months. If at any time you upgrade your phone, you lose any remaining trade-in value and would end up owing the rest. That just isn’t acceptable.
 
After constant refreshing web on laptop and force closing the app on iPhone I finally got through at 806AM EDT. Can't believe that it was only giving me 9/25 for the shipping on the iPhone Trade in Program unless I wanted to go to a store on 9/19. This is really strange as I have not had this experience on both Pro Max 256 and 512 in the previous years. I have been on the upgrade program since DAY 1.

Completed order at 5:01 PST and got September 25th delivery with iPhone upgrade program. If I order through website now, 25 minutes later, I get September 19th as long as I don’t use iPhone upgrade program at checkout. Is Apple intentionally delaying upgrade program customers?
 
A sky blue 1TB Air for me and a gold 256gb Air for my wife. Pickup on launch day.

I haven’t been this excited about an iPhone release in a long time.
 
Was able to get in on my iPhone and oder it at 2:02PM CET.
17 Pro Max Deep Blue 512GB

10min later all all Pro Models are on 25th or 29th delivery date.

The Air is still available for September 19 in all Colors and Capacities. I guess no one here want`s the Air in my County.
 
I was set on the Air but decided last minute to stick with the 17 pro in blue 512. Just too many things gutted from the Air to fully commit.

I got release day delivery.
 
Pre-ordered mine via T-Mobile, I said I wasn't going to move from the 16 Pro to the 17 Pro Max.. but at $830 trade in value which comes out to $5 dollars a month.. why not.
 
The later delivery date is Apple being conservative. I guarantee the those will be brought forward.
Store date gives the true stock situation away..

True. I plan on upgrading my Air to an Apple Fold in a year, so I’d lose 2/3 of my trade-in value. That just plain stinks. A trade-in shouldn’t come over 3 years. It should come right off of the price. It’s just a way to trap you with the same phone with the same service for 3 years.

I got the Pro for my wife. She’s upgraded every year while I skipped last year.

In Dubai, the app "Apple Store" is very smooth. The delivery date is 19-Sep for iphone 17 base mist blue.
I noticed that the pre-order saved in basket that I made last night has been cleaned out, thus I have to order again.
