I think sticking with the 15 Pro Max is logical - there really aren't any big headlining changes for it other than 0.2" more screen space and a new chip. Even the 15 Pro at least saw the 5X telephoto added.
Agreed. I've been on the iPhone Upgrade Program since it was available when the iPhone X dropped and upgraded every year on it. The only reason I upgraded to the 15 Pro Max was to move to a bigger phone from the 14 Pro and for USB-C. I'm pretty set now until they make compelling upgrades with the 17 or 18. And as awesome as it is to get a new iPhone every year on that program, for my circumstances, it doesn't make sense for me to keep paying a monthly fee to get a new iPhone every year. So I'm gonna stick it out with my 15 Pro Max as long as I can.

Still, I'm jealous of everyone here that gets to enjoy their shiny new 16!

Joining in on the fun. I ordered my iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB Black Titanium No Carrier about 8:05EST, no issues. I skipped last year. I used to always pick up at UPS CC, but looks like that might not be an option anymore. I hope I can do it since UPS delivers to my house about 5-6pm. I have UPS MyChoice Premium. For the 14 launch, I was out of town so had it sent to UPS Store. Arrived there at 12:47pm on Friday (Launch day). I could even track the UPS truck like I could if delivering to house. Might do that if UPS CC is not an option.
 
Does anyone has experienced that their original delivery date was brought forward? I ordered within 10 minutes because the app took very long to let me in and got the delivery date from 25th to 30th. I‘m still hoping that they adjust it.
 
Ah the chaos of a new launch. This is one of my favorite weeks of the year! Luckily was able to get a 16 Pro for Friday delivery. Really smooth process this year.
 
Preparing to ship and it’s not even Saturday? They’re on top of the logistics this year. So far my phone I ordered this morning is ahead of my Apple Watch S10 I ordered on Monday.
 
Interesting ALL hard drive sizes of both Black and White Iphone 16 pro still can be picked up at my Cincinnati Location. MOST of them are pushed out on dates for those that are shipping.
Just remember store pickup is different inventory vs delivery devices. Each store gets' a bulk delivery allocation based on orders and available Pickup times and prints information for your order. They scan in the inventory and then fill store pickup devices.

Delivery orders are individuality labeled for delivery in China or at an Apple DC here in the US for some initial orders when the Shipping label is added to each box.

I've heard rumors that there's a new manufacturing facility in India this year. If some phones come from there, it will be a whole new shipping route and may take a bit longer than from China. Anyone know for sure?
