iPhone 12 Pro Wow, Shipping Times Still Not Slipping

[C7 POWER]

I must say I am surprised at 9:15 am (1 hour and 15 Minutes into Pre Order) all colors of the pro Max are still available for launch day delivery. Demand for the Pro Max must not be high this year?

Takes all the fun out of me snagging mine right at 8:01am lol.

 

[E pow]

Kinda shocked as well

Might just have their supply chain issue sorted out, might just be a product of the fact that it's more of a niche device than the "standard" phones. Mini is still showing 11/13 delivery as well.

 

[ckurt25]

That is a surprise. When I saw the article about using iPad parts I was a little concerned.

 

[C7 POWER]

Yeah it totally took the fun and excitement out of sitting there waiting for the App Store to come online right at 8am, and the surge of adrenaline as you speed through check out and when it confirms 11/13 date you are like YES!! I beat everyone!! LOL

All colours pro max are end of November on the UK store.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I say by mid day, delivery dates will be pushed to late November.

It’s slipped to 3-4 week delivery time for all Pro Max models in China, including 128GB and 512GB. U.S. consumers prefer relatively small displays.

It start at $1,100 USD and is launching 3 weeks after the two most popular models. Only the people who are upgrading this year, that want a Max size model, and didn't jump the gun and just order a Pro instead, are ordering today.

Launching it later like this filtered out a lot of prospective early buyers.

it did take me 20 minutes to pre order. 😂checkout kept getting error message in the app.
finally went through on their website.

After checking all colors, capacities, and date slips, here are the most popular colors, in the order of popularity:

Blue
Gold
Black
White

Too much unacceptable misinformation which I do not believe was by accident. Almost as if this is now acceptable from the media.
Here it is 10 am EST and if we are to believe the shortages articles of past few days we would think this Max would have sold out real quick.... Geezus what a crock of xxxx

 

[slippery-pete]

Not surprised. 12/12 Pro are the top sellers and released earlier.

 

[zippster]

It’s because any of us in the uk on the iup cannot upgrade yet ☹️

All the articles saying the supplies were short were just to boost demand. It happens every year. I got the 12 pro, and demand was pretty high. Most people don’t want a tablet in their pockets, so the 12, and 12 pro will always be more popular. This has always been the case, and this year is no different. I think the demand might even be less with the phone getting even bigger. Apple really needs to reign in the Max. It’s kind of ridiculous the size of it. It’s becoming more of niche product.

With that said, I just checked the Mini on the Apple site, and all 5 colors are also still available for launch day delivery as of 10:47am EST. So this is really odd as well.

Yeah, I think the delayed release played a big part too. Also COVID can’t have helped. People just don’t want to spend the money.

128GB and 256GB Pacific Blue have a 7-10 day delivery estimate.

It all comes down to regional demand. The Max has never been a super seller in the U.S.

This makes a lot of sense and is probably a big reason why.

You know they meant Silver.

Reported.

 

[itsmilo]

Already end of November, beginning of December here in Germany but in Store pick up still available in Berlin on the 14th

 

[JPack]

Pro Max delivery estimate now slipped to 4-5 weeks in the largest smartphone market in the world. For all colors and configurations.

Definitely a regional thing.

 

[SHKLMRE]

Near me, in store availablity of the most popular colors is dwindling. And shipping times are slipping. I see a few 512gb available but they’re definitely slipping.

 

[chanerz]

Most people ordered 12 Pro.
