Good morning. I got my preorder in for a silver 256 Pro for 9/19 store pickup but all shipping for all colors had slipped to the 25th
 
Things are different now. In my suburban Apple Store location, it's pretty low-key on iPhone launch day. There are two lines. One for people who have pre-ordered and a line for people who have not. I had a 9 am reservation last year and I still had to wait in line for 30 minutes. Which was surprising. But once I was met by an associate, I was out of the store in 15 minutes. Swapped eSIM, blew through set-up, and traded in my old iPhone.

I'll be curious if things are a bit more hectic next year with the folding iPhone. But perhaps not because of the high price point.
Yeah this 17 Pro Max will probably be my last iPhone for a while if the foldable phones will replace the pro models going forward. The foldable phones I KNOW will start off at at least $1600 but more likely 2K. That's just too high a price for me in regards to a phone lol.
 
I have had better luck using the Verizon Website for preorders then I have had using the apple site. So the last 3 times I have just used their website and always get launch day delivery.

Keep track of the Apple emails - you will receive notice that the delivery date has changed.

Has happened many times in the past for me - getting bumped up earlier messages.

I am more geeky and track the UPS pallets from China/India to the US using the UPS app and FlightAware tracking.

This is the FUN part of delivery orders.
The UPS app tells you the flight number?? Then go on FlightAware app.
 
Has anyone gotten charged for their Air order yet?

got charged for the two 17 Pros I ordered, but nothing for the Air yet.
Yup, both Air orders (one is backup) got pending charge on my Apple Card.

Delivery and ISPU orders both on Apple Card and the one that gets here late will get returned on Tim's dime.

It's my of saying that delayed shipment date (9/25) for a loyal customer and having to order a backup ISPU (9/19) - is not good business.

Surprised blue air 256 still showing launch day delivery in my area

256 pro is as well seems like all colors

It’s the pro max and orange variants of it as well that are backed up

Even orange pro looks like launch day delivery
 
I woke up at 1:30 EST this morning wishing I had ordered the Space Black Air, but since it was an 90 minutes past the preapproval deadline, I didn't risk it. Then it gave me the option of changing my phone this morning when ordering, but since it was 8:04 EST, I didn't want to jeopardize ISPU date slipping. As of posting this, the Air has launch day availability at my local Apple Store and I am seriously contemplating cancelling and reordering.
 
25th will be updated to 19th. otherwise it makes no sense to say 25th for some the and 24th - 29th for others. One is an exact date and the other is a range. They only give exact dates for launch day usually.
Hopefully, I'm in Florida, and I preordered mine as soon as possible this morning, and it shows the 25th, but if I were to order it now, it would come on the 19th.
 
I preordered a deep blue iPhone 17 Pro with the TechWoven blue case. In-store pickup on September 19, i.e., launch day.
 
Like many others I unfortunately couldn’t get into the app until 8:08AM (had a few devices running and on my Mac) or so got the 17 Pro Max Orange 512GB shows Sept 25th delivery and hoping that date gets moved up as well! Good luck to everyone with their orders! Got the confirmation email at 8:20AM. Definitely the worst preorder experience I’ve seen.

Edit: When glancing at my order in the app it does show as order placed but tapping on it shows processing so I think things are hopefully moving along.
 
Same - used to finance with Citizen's Bank, but now with the Apple Card, it's more flexible.

I placed 2 orders (duplicate) on the Apple Card to see which one arrives on launch day.

The one that arrives late will get sent back on Tim's dime....
And you’d trade-in your old phone? Is the trade-in deal as good as 1Up? Hmm, I’m on 1Up because it’s an easy way to get rid of previous phone. Lastly, how do I get off 1Up, simply pay it off early and own it?
