I lucked out and found what I wanted at the nearby Apple store. Canceled my iPhone Upgrade Program preorder and scheduled a pickup later this evening.

For anyone else in the same boat, the cancelation was a breeze. Took about 15 minutes for all the changes to churn through the system and my upgrade program eligibility was reset. This page is helpful for checking what's available around you. Just plug in your zip code, select the model/carrier of your choosing, and it'll tell you what's nearby. https://iphonechecker.herokuapp.com/promax13/unlocked/10111

Good luck!

Thanks! I just did this and now have a scheduled pick up in two hours (PST) :)

So I ordered my 13 pro max 256 about 45 minutes after orders started, Oct 6-11.

I just got my shipped email at 4am PDT today, ETA is now Oct 1!

edit: email says Oct 1, apple store app says shipped but Oct 6-11 still (weird), ups tracking says 9/29.

Wow! Seeing some great updates here! Alas… mine remains in processing purgatory :/
 
Nope. Not yet. Still hoping to get bumped up, or for retail availability so I can cancel and buy in person.

Thanks for that!! Seems like the standard 13 and mini is widely available right now. Unfortunately for me the Pro Max is nowhere to be found in my area. But I'll keep checking.
 
I was able to cancel my Oct 6-11 pre-order and place a same-day pickup order this morning. The delivery gap between now and Oct 6, I think, is being used to fill orders at Apple and perhaps other retail stores.

I think you may be on to something here. Very strange for apple shipping estimates to skip over an entire week the way they did.

Big sad. Was part of the IUP/Apple Card meltdown and no change in my status. Still says 10/6-10/11. My wife’s was delivered today, however. Didn’t have any issues with hers as I just used an alternate card from the get go. With mine I kept getting errors to the point I cancelled and reordered. All in all still less than 20 min, but no movement.

Thats awesome! My local Verizon wouldn't have the phone i wanted until oct 28th!
 
Anyone else in this boat still waiting and stuck at 10/6-10/11 delivery window?

Happy for all those who got their phones today or will in the coming days!
I’m right there with ya. Starting to think that’s actually going to be my delivery window. I was happy they took care of some of the folks with that estimate.

Still here as well. Tried to see if I could find the pro max I ordered was in the Apple store near me in the SF Bay Area but all the Pro Max models are sold out. So now waiting for mine to ship. Hopefully it will get moved up.

I just saw this in another thread @vroom2 View attachment 1845976
My pre-order rollercoaster ride continues. Original delivery window was 10/6-10/11. Got the shipped notification with a delivery date updated to 9/28 yesterday. This morning I have the dreaded “rescheduled delivery” notice. Apple store app says 10/1 now.

Anyone with the unfortunate Oct 6-11 shipping estimates seeing any change? Preparing for shipment? Updated dates?
I’m sure am hopeful Apple will surprise us with something better than that estimate.
Yep got a noticed on the 24th it was preparing to ship. Woke up this morning to that it had shipped and also pretty much left China on tracking. Early UPS estimate is arriving on Tuesday September 24 almost a week early from the beginning of the 10/6 to 10/11 delivery range we all had. I kind of expected it to be about week early based on experience over my history on IUP and missing first day. And yes I see also Apple has a conservative estimate of Friday October 1 (still 5 days early) but UPS said 9/28 in first estimates and I think that the statement it is rescheduling delivery estimates when I check back tomorrow (Sunday) means it might be even here Monday. It has left China from what I see on detailed tracking this am

@rjjacobson You bring hope & Thanks. Can you say at what time did you placed your order on Sep 17th ?

I got that same info from UPS and the check back tomorrow (Sunday) for update estimated schedule. Apple always has that later extreme estimate but I would guess we will see our phones earlier in week. It just says now we are updating plans to reschedule your delivery that could even mean Monday. Looking at the tracking it now has left China from what I can tell without spending time obsessing on finding planes to track like I usually do with opening day crew. Said it left China and is in transit to delivery destination so we shall see in another day what that all means. heck we are getting them early which is what I expected given pass experience on delivery dates in groups after opening day. Usually a week earlier on average in my own experience
