New iPhone 11 Pro delivery times already starting to slip
I remember the days when it felt like a fight to get a new Apple product. First it was camping out in person, then online and having to worry about the inevitable system issues with network load, carriers, etc. They've had to make it much easier to buy these things since the price has gone way up and the changes less substantial.Appleish said:Pre-Pre ordered a Midnight Green 11 Pro for my wife, and a Space Gray 11 Pro Max with the Apple Upgrade Program last night (I've been buying outright, but decided to do this for a change). Opened the Apple Store app at 5. Got in about a minute and a half later. The Pre-Pre order popped up all ready to go. Confirmed, making it now a Pre-order by 5:02 AM for delivery on the 20th.
Smoothest iPhone purchase ever, unless you consider my purchase two years ago through Verizon, when they "accidentally" started selling them 15 minutes early. I got ours ten minutes before 3 AM and enjoyed watching all the pissed people on Twitter who couldn't get through to Apple's site for an hour or more.
I think it depends on where you live (I'm in the Midwest), but after monitoring the "slippage" of the dates, it seems you could've been fairly lazy this year and still had a good chance of getting what you wanted on launch day.
