Woke up early in the morning for a 17 pro 256 gb and said it would be delivered the 26th. I rechecked it later in the day and saw it was saying a delivery for the 19th. Cancelled my old order! Just checked again, and it still shows as available to ship the 19th!
 
Same for me. Checked out at 8:01am same exact phone with delivery date of 9/25. It went through very easy and quick this year. That pre-order info setup was pretty awesome. Hopefully the date will update.
I’ve preordered since iPhone 3. This was so smooth. Not having to put in your password, Jump from phone ,iPad computer. And not having to wake up before 3 AM East Coast time.
 
I had quite the morning. I saved my preorder the day before for Blue 2TB Pro Max and when I got on this morning at 8:00am I got the “excited? So are we” screen until 8:05 when it finally opened to my saved, it said no more ISPU available and I clicked ship. It wanted me to re-enter my Apple Pay card’s security digits and expiration date and when I entered that it was 8:08am. Shipping date was set for the 25th. I was so frustrated because I’m leaving for a Colorado back country trip on the 20th and really wanted to use the new camera.

Disappointed, I decided to see if Best Buy had any preorders left and sure enough they had ISPU for the 19th so I bought one there as a new line on my plan and decided I’d just return it when I get back from my trip. Later in the day around 2:30pm I was checking the Apple Store to see what dates had been pushed back to and to my surprise, they had ISPU again at my local Apple Store for the 19th in the afternoon. So I canceled my other two phones and ordered it again through the Apple Store app. It was a more frustrating experience than years prior but I’m glad it will all work with timing and I don’t have to return anything now.
 
17 Pro Silver 1 TB for my wife, pickup on launch day... had to go through many hurdles as the apple website kept saying "Love that early energy" for me until 17:45. Preorders opened here at 17:30. I got lucky because I placed the final order at 18:50, a whole 1 hr 20 mins after pre-orders opened.
 
I preselected Air in black with 512 gb, was ready and waiting the second it went live, but I had preselected my carrier (AT&T) and it was already shipping 9/25 right out of the gate. I ordered it, then went back and changed it to unlocked, choose carrier later, these were still shipping 9/19, so I ordered that one too and went back and cancelled the first one. Ordering through AT&T was no better, with a delay in getting started, a complicated process and a long range in shipping dates spanning 9/18 to 10/2 somehow.
 
I had my preorder ready (17PM 256GB CO) days ago but woke up 15 mins late past 5:00 PST, and got the 9/26-10/6. But then I kept refreshing the Apple website later on in the day and was able to see Pick up in-store for 9/19 popped up on at least 3 occasions. I was finally able to snatch one up for in store on 9/19, so you guys want it badly, KEEP TRYING AND REFRESH THE ORDER PAGE! 😂
 
I’m a bit confused and wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else.

As soon as my pre-order link opened, I placed the order right away and the delivery date I got was Sept 25. Then, just two minutes later, I went to the Apple Store app as a “new” user (not logged into my pre-order link), chose the exact same model and storage, and it was showing the launch day delivery instead.

So basically:

  • Pre-order (done instantly): Sept 25
  • Random check right after: Launch date
Has anyone experienced this before? Do you think it’s just a glitch, or is it possible that my delivery date could still get updated?
I pre-ordered a blue Pro max 512 at about 8:04 and it said 9/25. Then later today it was updated to 9/19.
