So thought process they had this date as a default date but will ship for 9/19 delivery maybe?
They definitely had shipping default as 09/25 and ISPU at 09/19.
I suspect they won’t update the shipping dates…as Apple has never had separate default dates at launch.

Many of us - same.. Me too.. All who pre-ordered (day before in bag) 256 ProMax are getting this.. But notice that 9/25 isn't '7' days after 9/19.. So that means these delivery time will likely update.. That's happened in years past to me and many others here. We can HOPE!
When did it change for you — while the order was still “processing” or only once it moved to “preparing to ship”?
 
I got 9/25 for orange PM. Although it showed 9/19 when picking between which Apple store to pick up from or delivery, I’m hoping it’s just a glitch.
 
My preorder I prepared for says 9-25 with Verizon and a trade in. I went back and did a pay in full no trade it, picked a carrier later and the delivery was 9-19 after checkout. Definitely has to be some sort of glitch.
 
Got in right at 8am ordered instantly got the confirmation email at 8:00:30 am and still have a 9/25 date. Blue 512GB IUP
 
This is the first time I saved my info and one of the only times I didn't get a launch day date in over 13 years so I guess I will go back to NOT saving my order. I really hope that it arrives on 9/19 - the only other time I got it after launch day it ended up arriving on launch day so I hope that is the case this year too since I will be out of town on the 25th.
Same. This is the first time I saved my info and the first time I'm not receiving it on launch date.
 
Your went smooth because the 2TB phones are not popular. LOTS of stock. Anything 256 ProMax was 9/25 delivery within 1 minute. Oversold. I had my preorder ready yesterday. Everything went smooth but ONLY date possible 9/25 at 2 minutes after launch. I went for DeepBlue 256 ProMax
If we're talking here about a oversold whithin 1 minute, how can you explain why a saved pre-order shows a Sept 25 delivery date, but starting a new pre-order shows Sept 19?

The issue has nothing to do with “oversold”. Either Apple intentionally set the default shipping date as 09/25…or Apple has proven yet again, that software bugs are their forte.
I have a separate post regarding the shipping vs ISPU issue….and there is a plethora of comments through MacRumors about customers who also have been bitten by the “Apple Bug”.
 
For those that did in store pick up. Do they put a pending charge on our cards now or only charge us when up pick up the phone next Friday? It's been a while and I can't remember lol.

Varies - some people get a pending payment show up, some don't until the day of collection. Think it depends on the bank, speed of processing etc.

Cosmic Orange 512. I couldn't access my saved preorder, so I had to do a new order and got a 9/24-29 delivery date for a Verizon phone, so I picked in store pick up for 9/19. I then went back and tried again with an unlocked phone and now have a 9/19 delivery for that order. I'll cancel the first one as soon as it lets me.

They put a hold of the amount before trade in on my AppleCard.
They haven't put a pending charge on my credit card yet. I did have Apple credit that I applied to my purchase as well. I am assuming they will get around to it and there aren't any issues. If there were I am sure Apple would send an email or something telling me something is wrong.
 
I also got 9/25 when I got in to order my pre-approved 17 Pro Max Deep Blue 512 GB.

My closest Apple Stores showed unavailable for pick up.
 
Orange 17 Pro, delivery date 9/25 at around 8:03am ET for me.

This is the third time I've had an iPhone pre-order give me a delivery date after launch day, and the other two times I got my phone on launch day anyway. I'm not worried about it
 
256GB Silver. Went through pre-order steps. My email is from 7:09 central, so I was in within 5 minutes. I have the Sept 25th date. That's also what is showed when I got in. I've done this for years and haven't seen it not display the release date when I get in this early. It will be interesting to follow once UPS gets it to see what they show.

Did the date change for you in the past?
