I was kidding hence the "lol" part at the end of my post.
First world problem? Stressing? For a few days after?
I ordered within 3 minutes of the pre-order time for delivery (17 PM 512 GB Deep Blue) and received a shipping date of 9/25. I just went back online (1 hr 22 min after launch time) and can still preorder the same phone for pick up on 9/19. What Ive been reading is that most of the initial 9/25 delivery dates will change to launch day (assuming you were ordered for delivery within minutes of the order window).The shipping dates did not slip for the first orders.
Apple, in their infinite wisdom, still can’t launch a product.
The default shipping date was 09/25 for the ProMax whereas in-store was 09/19.
I validated this launch glitch repeatedly for 22 minutes with all colors of the ProMax after ordering went live.
There are numerous posts from others confirming this experience/information.
I completed my IUP pre-pre-order at 0601 MDT and it was 09/25 delivery.
For humor I purchased a cosmic 256gb 23 minutes after ordering opened and received a 09/19 in-store.
Thank you for your service!I didn't get into the site until 15 minutes after, and I was ordering (Pro 17 - Orange - 256GB) for in-store pickup. Both In-store pickup and delivery was available for 9/19 here at my location in the southwest US.
Addition info: I was ordering from the veteran's page, so I couldn't set up my order in advance, and I didn't do a trade-
yes.. This happened in the JetBlack iPhone X year.. I got like October 10-17 at check out for preorder and it came about 4 days after launch.. These 9/25 ProMax (256, Orange/Blue) shipping dates WILL get updated.In store pick up 9/19 here. Sucks. I usually enjoy tracking its process. Not this year. Silver pro max 256gb. I have a feeling there was a glitch going on. I’d set up the phone multiple times for purchase stating 9/19 delivery and as soon as I added it to my bag and went to check out it went to 9/25 every time. So I chose in store just to be safe. Pretty sure a lot of 9/25 orders will be updated to 9/19.
Oh well. At least I get to take the day off of work. And I’ll get the phone at 830am vs 6pm 😂
It’s likely a glitch, no way they sold out that fast for 9/19 delivery within minutes after preorder opening. They will probably move up. I didn’t want to rely on that and since I already have the uw3 scheduled for pick up on the 20th I just did the same time for my phone. At least I don’t have to ship back my trade in and they can just take it upon pick up. I had a case before where the phone was stolen and all Apple got back was an empty box! Luckily they gave me a credit for it but I just don’t want that headache. I could have chosen 9/19 for both but last time I did that on release day it was too busy.I ordered within 3 minutes of the pre-order time for delivery (17 PM 512 GB Deep Blue) and received a shipping date of 9/25. I just went back online (1 hr 22 min after launch time) and can still preorder the same phone for pick up on 9/19. What Ive been reading is that most of the initial 9/25 delivery dates will change to launch day (assuming you were ordered for delivery within minutes of the order window).
Wait.. ONCE your preorder is COMPLETE.. you can CHANGE status to 9/19 in store pickup?
How were you able to cancel?No, I was able to cancel the online one and repurchase for in store.
That what one of my family members did.No, I was able to cancel the online one and repurchase for in store.
