Woke up late with the new funky Apple alarms, and was going, "Oh no no not again", at 5:30am. Blindly went thru App Store on my iPhone and snagged a Friday the 13th shipping date!
I ordered mine, coming from an iPhone 7 + it should not seem all that muck larger. The iPhone 7+ Has been my favorite phone of all of them and why I kept it for so long. GO MAX!!!!
So happy I go through my corporate site. No problem getting in. Ordered a Pro Max, Blue, 128Gb and got it for $525! More than half the price. Should get it next week. Also, ordered a HomePod mini from our corporate EPP site.
I had both the Att and Apple sites open at 7:50AM EST and the ATT one refreshed all by itself 8 minutes early. Ordered with no glitches. Pro Max 256GB Blue arrives next week.
Got in at 8.40 east coast time (forgot about the damn order!). 256GB unlocked Pacific Blue. Surprised I still managed to snag a Nov 13 delivery.
(The 'pre-order' reminder that I had set up from Apple never came. Had to go through the order process all over again).
I ordered the same phone but at 3:30pm and still got a 11/13 delivery date. First time ever that’s happened for a iPhone for me.
Have to agree... after years of pre-ordering iPhone on day 1--including the bad old days when living in the ET time zone meant waking up in the middle of the night to order--I've never seen pre-orders ship on first day of delivery when ordering this late. And my guess is that model you ordered--Pacific Blue 256GB--is the most popular for Max pre-orders. So all the more unusual. It will be interesting to see if this means Apple aligned production better with initial demand or if demand for the Max is softer than expected. I will say that for iPhone photographers and videographers like myself, the 12 Pro Max might be the most single compelling upgrade ever.
