Wouldn’t worry about this one bit. Happened to me last year as well and then all the sudden I got the notice that it has been processed than shipped within just a short period of time. You’ll get it on the 20th. By the way, mine still in processing as well and I ordered mine at 8:02 AM EST.

Nothing in my UPS My choice yet. Quickest ever it’s moved to preparing to ship on Apple’s end but most often I get the tracking info before I get the preparing to ship.

Ordered at 6am, saw that my original order was already pushed back. The 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium (256 GB) would deliver on October 2-7. I checked the 512 GB Pro Max and in CA there were pick ups available on September 20th. I paid extra for the storage and earlier delivery date. It seems right since there’s literally a new button to take way more photos. I’m worried about first-gen apple intelligence though I would’ve waited for the iPhone 17 if I didn’t have a 12 Pro Max
It’s all software. Technically the 15pro is the first gen with it. We have a bit more horsepower to process things on device but the cloud will do the heavy lifting. I imagine over the next few years there will be chip improves for the phone to do it natively without a data centre.

wtf how are you all getting your packages shipped? I am in India and mine is still in processing, pickup due on 20th.

Has anyone in previous years gotten the package before time?
 
For those worried about shipping status not changing — I once had a launch day iPhone quite literally arrive in KY on release day itself (like 2am?) and leave at 4am to be delivered to me in MA, and I got it in hand on release day around 9am.

The proof is that, if you were on Snapchat that day, they did one of those (global? US?) launch day stories that they used to do, and I was quite literally the first story on it opening my iPhone box with all my previously received accessories on the desk in the background.

Worry not, Apple logistics is very VERY robust. After that experience I’ve never doubted their logistics

It will remain in the processing status until it’s time for ISPU. The shipped status is for those who are having it delivered directly to them. Us ISPU people unfortunately just have to wait for that status switch in silence 🥲
 
Normally I am with all of you tracking every movement of my phone. This year I had to do ISPU because I am traveling. I feel like I am missing out.

Launch day delivery still showing as processing in my orders on Apple, and no tracking number showing up yet on UPS.com in My Choice. 😐

Nice! my ultramarine silicone case just shipped via fedex and expected Monday. I think it's gonna look great on my black 16PM. Now to find and order a black leather case for the stealth mode. Any suggestions for leather?
Check out Nomad’s black leather case. It looks nice! I’m probably going to order one. I also went with the ultramarine case for my black PM. The color of the case is awesome!
 
I had a charge on my Apple Card after I preordered that was equal to the tax on the iPhone and case. The charge dropped off a day or so ago, and now the tax on the case came back because the case has been shipped, but the charge on the iPhone did not come back. I don't have a tracking number yet and my confirmation time was 8:00AM. I am somewhat concerned, but the store says preparing to ship, so I'll try to be patient.
 
814AM confirmation, since Apple pulled the delivery address and the recipient name from Verizon billing, I now have UPS tracking for both, my and my wife’s phones in MyChoice. Oops.

16P Black and 16P Desert coming Zhengzhou, CN

You will get charged next Wednesday or Thursday.

Placed an order on Apple.com for a 16 Pro Max 256GB in Black Titanium via T-mobile EIP, delivers Oct 3-8.

Upgrading from a 14 Pro Max 256GB but I bought a 12 Mini to trade in. Got $120 instant credit and $680 T-mobile credits over 24 months, $800 in value total. Going to keep my 14 Pro Max as a back up or maybe sell it locally.
