This was my thought as well. It shows processing. I never got a charge at 8:02am, this time I did. Unless it's already preparing to ship. Not sure.They should not bill you until it ships.
I accidentally ordered a phone with the wrong card. So I ordered another one. The first order moved to preparing. Which I was then able to cancel. The second still says order placed. Both were set to arrive the 19th.I wonder if the shipping date for people who pre prepared their preorder was based on the order in which they pre prepared their preorder.
What was weird is that when my app did finally open it pulled a pop up with the order page not the phone I had set up for preorder so I got out of that and to the for you page and went from thereI wonder if the shipping date for people who pre prepared their preorder was based on the order in which they pre prepared their preorder.
These phones won’t ship until Monday.Anyone in the launch day delivery still in the processing page I’m hoping the glitch will prove itself by updating to preparing with someone with a 9/19 delivery order
Cancelled my 8:02am preorder that showed 9/25 for a 256GB Blue and reordered just now, 9/19 delivery
And they billed me instantly. Whereas the 8:02am one DIDN'T bill at all yet. I think if you can, you 9/25 people should reorder if 9/19 delivery is still showing AND they didn't already bill you.
True but apples status page would usually show preparing to ship todayThese phones won’t ship until Monday.
I assume these weren’t IUP orders?You convinced me - I just canceled and reordered both phones. Still showing “processing,” but now showing launch day delivery.
This is me 100%.I got the Max because I got sick and tired of the constant need to recharge my 14 Pro over the course of a normal 8 hour day....
I wonder how many of people are in the same boat as I am this year?
You see that just doesn’t make sense you ordered the exact same pro max configuration after me and got a 9/19 date it really must be a glitch thenI didn’t get into the store until almost 10 minutes after 5am pacific. I had a pre-order 17pro 512gb blue that I placed when pre-orders opened up. Added a 17 pro max 256 blue for my MIL a day or two later. Both were no carrier selected. Both went through with a Sep 19 delivery. Got confirmation emails about 10 minutes later.
I assume these weren’t IUP orders?
That’s my concern with cancelling, I don’t think I can redo the program right away.
Having had the 11 Pro Max, the 15 Pro Max and buying the 16 Pro Max for my kid... I really don't understand why people aren't more concerned about these PM phones getting bigger and heavier. I don't get it but hey if it makes them happy...The enthusiasts this year, aren't ordering the 17 Pro, they are ordering the 17 PM. Hence why the process was much more manageable for you...as per the comments in this forum.
Yeah glitch is most likely especially when you’d expect a date range not a specific date like launch day on the 19th.I really doubt it's demand considering people who ordered after got 9/19 dates. Going with a glitch. The app opened for me at 8 a.m. on the dot. Order placed and email notification at 8 a.m. 9/25 delivery date.
Got my order in at 8:08 eastern for a 17 Pro 256gb and delivery of 9/25first time I've missed release day delivery since being on the iPhone Upgrade Program
The delivery date will not move up as long as they continue to offer delivery sooner.
Uh...sure...but bug fixes/point releases won't really fix the OS entirely...just patch updatesI guess the only positive of having a 9/25 date is that it gives Apple 2-weeks to fix iOS 26.
I preordered and when I finalized my order. I got charged right away (within 1-2 min).This was my thought as well. It shows processing. I never got a charge at 8:02am, this time I did. Unless it's already preparing to ship. Not sure.
Mine shows 9-19 express shipping.For those with a 9/19 delivery date, what’s the shipping method listed? I noticed that my 9/25 order says “Sep 25 by Express Shipping”, but every iPhone pre-order I’ve ever done has said “by Standard Shipping”. Wonder if this part of the issue
Out 2 Airs say express shipping too; 19th.For those with a 9/19 delivery date, what’s the shipping method listed? I noticed that my 9/25 order says “Sep 25 by Express Shipping”, but every iPhone pre-order I’ve ever done has said “by Standard Shipping”. Wonder if this part of the issue
