I ordered the iPhone 14 Pro space gray color. It is set to arrive between October 18 to October 25.
Has anyone had any luck by speeding it up? Maybe calling Apple or speaking to customer service online?
I could still be about a month before I get it
Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahhaahahahahahahahahhaahahahahah.
You: Hello? Apple? I'd like to get my phone more quickly.
Apple: oh, yes sir! Would this afternoon be soon enough?
Consider yourself lucky. It’s not even available to buy yet here.I ordered the iPhone 14 Pro space gray color. It is set to arrive between October 18 to October 25.

Yes there is a way.
Look at their inventory every day in the Apple Store app or website.
I just found out Apple doesn't really prioritize their orders. I preordered my phone on September 9 in the morning. Last week my order was still due to be delivered between Oct 4 and 12 yet I could suddenly pick one up the same day at my local Apple Store. I cancelled my delivery and scheduled a pickup instead. You don't get charged if it's not shipped.

After watching this video, it reminds me how different our cultures are.
There are many ways you can get the iphone quicker than your delivery date. Unfortunately you may have to also look into getting it elsewhere if Apple store doesn't have stock, I mean if you are that desperate to get it sooner. Otherwise, I would recommend using this site:
iphonechecker.herokuapp.com
just enter your zip code and the model and carrier (it's universal so doesn't really matter what carrier you select, but go with "Unlocked").
Good luck.
iPhone Inventory Checker - iPhone 16
How to Find the iPhone 16 in Stock? iPhone 16 inventory tracker. Apple inventory tracker. iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 inventory checker
just enter your zip code and the model and carrier (it's universal so doesn't really matter what carrier you select, but go with "Unlocked").
Good luck.

The snark here is kind of weird - there are many legitimate ways of getting the iPhone sooner. Maybe not "speeding up delivery" per se - but if someone is willing enough, you can hunt it down at MSRP.
There's no need to put down OP IMO.

He found ways to get it sooner and chose to not use those ways because he prefers the other ways in which he can't get it sooner.
Doesn't justify the snark though. Some of the suggestions are just nonsense - I do think it's strange if Best Buy isn't chosen if it's an option, but that's the OP's choice, no reason to continue with the snarky suggestions.

The question itself is silly. Especially when they admitted to opting not to get a phone from a local source.
People are indulging in snark though. Why even do that? It's good enough to just leave it be. The OP isn't trying to insist on a particular viewpoint - just because the proposed solution isn't accepted is no reason to step up ad hominem attacks.
You could pull a Karen over the phone.I ordered the iPhone 14 Pro space gray color. It is set to arrive between October 18 to October 25.

I walked into my local Best Buy store the day after the phones were available or sent to preordered for first day delivery. They had a 14 Pro 128 gb that I bought on the spot. Maybe you should hit your local stores and if they have the one you want, cancel your preorder...I ordered the iPhone 14 Pro space gray color. It is set to arrive between October 18 to October 25.

I might add I was given a gift card for $95 and $65 trade in for my old IP8. (roughly what they're going for on eBay). Condition of the $95 discount was that I take out a BestBuy credit card as well which I can cancel anytime (no $95 yearly charge).

No bud, but if you buy a plane ticket to China for $6000 USD round trip, go through their 15 day mandatory isolation, and still manage to get in touch with the local UPS there, then you might speed up the process, although even if you get on a plane to China today, by the time you get out of the mandatory 15 day isolation, ... your iphone is already waiting for you back at home in the US.
That's carrier based though, you can't buy unlocked versions at Best Buy.
Not really. There are some possible tricks to use depending on your situation.I ordered the iPhone 14 Pro space gray color. It is set to arrive between October 18 to October 25.

If you are "lucky" enough to live near a number of Apple Stores, you can check their inventory on a daily basis. If one pops up, immediately order it for pick-up. Once that is confirmed, you can cancel your other order. Or if it can't be cancelled, return it when you've received it.
You have seen nothing yet! Have you ever heard of using dance to learn (get into your muscle memory) English? I think 1980s (or 90s?) Japan had these English learning videos.
Also....so...do you have a bad case of Apple-itis? How would dance to that. LOL.
