All pre ordered iPhones will sit until Thursday as they are overnighted to their destination by Friday. So you won’t see any movement until Thursday.
You are wrong in every way. Those of us with UPS accounts will see the movement start this weekend. Apple will not update your order to show shipped till Thursday but we do this every year, we watch the shipments move all week on here
Depends, in the US, it mostly come from the factory, but for EU and Europe, they usually ship loads
Same! My Silver 128 Pro Max and 512 Purple Pro Max are both preparing to ship.
Well mine says it will ship Thursday. FedEx usually has overnight shipping. Anyway I’m not going to watch it or watch for any movement until Thursday. I’m taking Friday off to hopefully receive it. What I mean by hopefully is last year I didn’t get my 13 pro max on launch day, it was delayed by FedEx until Monday because they do not deliver on the weekends with standard overnight. I’ve never had ups deliver my iPhone order, it’s always been FedEx. So weather you think I’m wrong or not, most of these orders will be shipping Thursday for Friday delivery unless it’s coming from China.
My 256 Purple Pro Max is also preparing to ship. We will get them on Friday if it says you will get it on Friday, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
Don’t they come from China or Taiwan? If so they will start to move soon. It’s not overnight package since it’s not necessary. It’s most likely express. Like last year with 13PM I’m picking up my 14PM next Friday around noon at my local apple store. In and out.
Depends on the carrier I think. There is already a large stock in the warehouses of AT&T, Verizon etc that will ship locally in the states. Some come from China I suppose. 🤷🏻♂️
Well except for rare errors you won't get it until the 16th. But it's nice to see the order making progress instead of getting stalled or canceled.
At least for apple.com orders. Labels do get created sometime this weekend and yes you can track by reference and you can pull it up and find your package that way even before Apple marks it shipped.
If you have UPS MyChoice and have matching address, it will automatically show up there.
Can't speak for other carriers.
Apple has strict rules with FedEx, UPS, etc. to hold the order for delivery day. I hope you get yours early. Not trying to be a downer.
They all come from china so they will have to start moving this weekend. If you download the ups or FedEx app you will see the destination scan in the next day or so. Apple won’t update their website till the night before. It’s the same drill every year.
Mine is showing preparing to ship as well. I did my Pro max order at 6:02 am and my wife's through apple (tmobile) at around noon. Hers is still processing. Don't care because T-Mobile gave her double what apple offered for her Mini. I just went with the Apple trade in, amount was close enough. Save the upgrade on my line for another year.

Apple comes from China/Taiwan. Carriers from their USA warehouse.
