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

I had my preorder set up and approved on Tues. I logged in at 5pst and started the checkout and after a mere two seconds it gave a time out error and deleted my preorder. But it didn’t deleted my credit card hold so I couldn’t go through and order again. My preorder magically came back at 6:30pst but instead of release day I got mid Oct. thanks a lot Tim Apple

Demand is off-the-charts and customers are genuinely excited about these best-ever iPhones.

I've been told Apple are working hard to get iPhone 15s into the hands of as many customers as possible, as quickly as possible.
 
I don’t understand why some of us are still processing and some are preparing to ship with all delivery dates of the 22nd of September.

Because the processing ones will be bumped by a week out from launch day. Happened to me last year. You’ll see and know when it happens as people will be raging on here. Just like last time….

My iPhone 15 Pro Max has been departed from "Kunshan City, China". Hopefully, I get lucky and it will arrive early.
 
My order says delivery on September 25th but the status is also moved to Preparing to Ship yesterday.
So maybe I’m lucky and also receive it on Friday 22nd? :)

I wanted to cancel my pre order and get a different color. They system wouldn't even allow cancellations. Said to check back in a couple hours. Okay, no biggie! By the time I checked back, my card was already charged and it was already preparing to ship. smh

LOL. What color did you get?

This is the first year where I actually don't care which I got, because they all look pretty similar to me, but I ended up going with the natural titanium one just because the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the same color.

I changed my color without canceling the pre-order. It asks you to double check color and size, so I switched it then.
 
I got email from affirm that my iPhone has shipped and they will soon charge my one time payment for non financed portion (taxes). Apple still shows it as preparing to ship however. I remember them doing this before where people were tracking based on their address but apple did not update status for some reason.
