Thank you for this detailed account of what happened. Well I think those that were tied up in the iup glitch will get their phones on the 24th, as they should. I think next week is when this thread will get interesting for the rest of us. With iPhone launches, apple will move heaven and earth to surprise and delight customers and they have incredible contracts in place with carriers to do so. If that inventory is available and it can be shipped sooner, Apple will make it happen, I’ve seen it happen several times over the course of these launches. Fingers still crossed for everyone’s deliveries showing up a bit early.
For me (now 9/28 UPS and 10/1 apple store order page) I was not a Apple Card user but regular IUP user since and before they started it. It took me til 5 past to get one of my store apps (one on phone, ipad and macbook never opened for me) and then re-entering my card info (as one always does even with that being done on preapproval couple days before) I found I had slipped in that minute to the 10/6 to 10/11 date. So its more than Apple Card users it is us folks that just missed and they must have new batch of ProMax’s done which I kind of expected given previous delayed groups I ended up in, often week earlier when all is said and done
 
Anyone who ordered the 1TB iPhone 12 Pro Max with Oct 6-11 estimate seeing their order PFS?
Shipped last night/early morning here in Central Illinois and has left china looking at tracking details, UPS first estimate which they will revise tomorrow it arrives now on 9/28 even though apple says Friday October 1 which is typical
 
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

Mine is with it. I'm pretty excited. I've been an Android addict and figured I'd give the 13 pro max a try.
 
@rjjacobson You bring hope & Thanks. Can you say at what time did you placed your order on Sep 17th ?
Sure I got in at 5 past hour of opening day, took less than minute to enter the same card info I did two days earlier and my order went from 9/24 to the 10/6 to 10/11 date. So basically order done at 6 past and received by apple with order confirmation email from them

What is IUP? Sorry for the newbie question
Iphone Upgrade Progam that lets you flip last years old phone for new one and pretty much same monthly payment unless you upgrade to higher priced phone. Basically its a no interest two year loan, when they get your old phone back and its seen as ok they kill old loan and you end up paying about half the price of the old phone and transition to the new phone. Been doing this since it started lets me play with new toys each year and my monthly payment to do that stays the same

I have used macbook for years....just never switched to iPhone.
For me I like that my iphone, Apple Watch 4 (6 and 7 do not interest me yet) iPad Pro gen 3 and a 2019 macbook all play together closely for file and photo transfers. Just works best to have them all linked for me. I tried android (my son in laws several times ) but never liked how the interface worked was too into iphone by then LOL

Order was completed at 9:17 central time on 9/17 (nice coincidence).

No movement yet for me but hoping soon. Otherwise 11 days until the start of my delivery window.

Yep. And that’s almost 45 min before I ordered, here’s to hoping for 10/6! And not 10/11 lol… but I still have hope for next week, from what I can tell, Apple committed to almost no deliveries next week, unless our phones are build to order, Apple proabably wouldn’t skip an entire week for deliveries, many of the stories here are a testament to that as well… I have a feeling you’ll get an update very soon!

Dang! We ordered the same day, I got the 512GB and you got the full 1TB, and your estimated delivery date is 2-3 weeks EARLIER than mine!
@rambo47 I just took a screenshot I saw in another thread, but the original poster has since posted in this thread.
I think down to the very minute of when you placed the order decides your estimated delivery date.

I suppose so. I ordered late that night, after getting home from work. So here I sit, all back-of-the-bus, just waiting... :)
