Some iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Pre-Orders Now 'Preparing to Ship' Ahead of September 22 Launch

[MacRumors]

Apple this morning began accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and now just hours later, the first orders have moved into the "preparing to ship" phase as Apple prepares to send the new iPhones out to customers.

Customers in the United States should soon be able to begin tracking their orders through the UPS My Choice feature, or through the UPS website using a reference number like a phone number or the Apple order number. Orders typically ship from China and Apple does not change the shipping status until they are scanned into a central distribution hub in the United States.

iPhone shipments will begin arriving to customers on Friday, September 22. As with every new product release, Apple users in Australia and New Zealand will be the first to get their orders due to time zone differences.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models began selling out within an hour after pre-orders went live this morning, and orders for some colors and capacities are now delayed until October or November. Some locations may still have pre-order stock available for in-store pickup, and those who were not able to place a pre-order in time may be able to just go to the store on launch day to pick up a new device, as Apple often has extra stock for in-store purchases.

Cases and accessories are expected to arrive before the new iPhones and have already begun shipping out.

[bevo]

Mine does

 

[The Barron]

Where/how do I determine this information: "...orders for some colors and capacities are now delayed until October or November." TIA for the 411.

 

[Clingpeach]

Where do we put the reference number in the my choice UPS page? Where the tracking tab is?

 

[Mac_The_Ripper]

Good news for the folks who are dying to get their new iPhone/s! Enjoy 🙂

wasnʻt able to get delivery on the 22nd, only pickup at the store...at least I still got launch day pickup. wasnʻt able to complete until around 24 minutes past the hour...worst launch in a while

 

[chrismichael83]

Most likely it will show preparing to ship until Wednesday

 

[marchrose2011]

mine changed a few hours ago!!

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Very pleased to announce both of my iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB Natural Titanium + Blue has been moved to, preparing to ship as well. 😌

 

[smithrh]

Arrrrgh - I clearly placed my pick-up order for 1 store, now it's at another one.

Close by, but still an error.

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

Could have been much worse. Apple has a LOT of stores around the planet. Instead of close by, what if it was farthest possible point?

 

[appleguy123]

I promise to emit less carbon if Apple lets mine arrive early.

 

[AppleInLVX]

Yep, mine moved to that this morning already.

 

[kkee]

Very pleased to announce that due to massive “rumour” it will not sell well this year, my order is backlogged to 3 weeks despite being early in line

Really curious to see the camera reviews first before I buy, don’t really impressed me, much talk they did but most of the things are not great, hate that they don’t made the periscope lens, now they will just cut again from the main sensor and the 5x zoom I hope that haves good quality, battery same as 14 and processor only 10-15% faster, will definitely wait for the reviews.

 

[ralph_sws]

it's the same in Poland, shipment will arrive on September 22 in the morning anyway.
accessories arrived this Friday

 

[Woodstockie]

Same here for my iPhone Max Ti Blue 512GB. Ordered 8:05EST.

 

[now i see it]

These are orders not pre-orders

 

[Musocat]

Mine's "Preparing..." (Pro blue 512). Last time I ordered a new phone, it got to my local UPS hub by Wednesday, but UPS held it up until Friday! Under very strict orders from Apple, I'm sure lol.

 

[Clingpeach]

These are orders not pre-orders

mine was a preorder and is preparing to ship

Mine has flipped to “preparing to ship,” but that doesn’t mean any of ours will get to us any sooner than the 22nd.

And, knowing my UPS driver, it’ll be late on the 22nd too! They love to circle my block for hours, teasing me. :/

Where/how do I determine this information: "...orders for some colors and capacities are now delayed until October or November." TIA for the 411.

You’ll get a tracking number once it changes to “shipped.”

In my UPS app, it’ll automatically tell me that I have something on the way, but if yours doesn’t, you can just click on the tracking number and the phone will take you there.

Yeah, they get in trouble if they deliver early, but a few always slip through. I’ve been hoping to be that lucky mistake for years. No dice.

Where do we put the reference number in the my choice UPS page? Where the tracking tab is?

Sign up for my choice, and packages will show up automatically based on delivery address matching.

Mine isn't coming until week 2nd October. Local store (Cardiff) not stocking. Hard to believe. The whole thing is nuts - just make enough already!!! Not impressed. Still waiting for the Apple order to go through as I financed through Barclays (that has gone through).

Bet it gets pushed back again.
