I’m a bit confused and wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else.

As soon as my pre-order link opened, I placed the order right away and the delivery date I got was Sept 25. Then, just two minutes later, I went to the Apple Store app as a “new” user (not logged into my pre-order link), chose the exact same model and storage, and it was showing the launch day delivery instead.

So basically:

  • Pre-order (done instantly): Sept 25
  • Random check right after: Launch date
Has anyone experienced this before? Do you think it’s just a glitch, or is it possible that my delivery date could still get updated?

Same thing, Apple website pre-order with carrier T-Mobile, delivers 25th, I put the order in "at 5am plus a couple of button clicks", would love to know if that is a bug or if a million phones were ordered in the first 30 seconds! 🤣

I had the same thought. I just reordered my 17 Pro 256GB in Deep Blue. Got a 9/19 delivery and an instant charge on my card, whereas in the morning they did not bill me at all.
