So I know we can pre order the 12 pro tomorrow and they are “available” the 23rd of this month, but does anyone know when exactly they will ship/be delivered, and what is the fastest way to get my new phone, ordering straight from apples website, or from my carrier(verizon)?
Here’s how this has worked in the past (I’ve been through this >10 times with iPhone orders):
First of all, do not order your Verizon iPhone from Verizon. Order it from Apple. You will be asked to input your information to Verizon from there (e.g., identifying information, whether you’re keeping an existing phone number, etc.). Do that, so your iPhone will arrive ready to be configured on Verizon’s network.
Assuming you complete your order before the iPhone 12 Pro runs out of stock, your order will ship, likely from China, likely roughly Sunday (Oct. 18) such that you will receive it on Oct. 23. A signature will be required when delivery occurs. You will be told the date to expect delivery at order time.
You may go to Apple’s website (or the Apple Store app) today and choose “Get Ready” under iPhone 12 Pro to prepare for some of the steps.

I just received confirmation that my iPhone 12 Pro’s in Pacific Blue have shipped and will be delivered on Friday, 10/23.
Apple is the iPhone vendor. Verizon uses iPhones as one of many adjunct hardware methods to use their services.
Apple has mastered their interface with Verizon. Has Verizon mastered their interface with Apple? Maybe- but maybe not.
Since a week elapsed since your original question, I guess you’re not that focused on receiving that iPhone on the 23rd any longer.
can you give a specific reason not to order from verizon and order from apple instead? what are the pros and cons?
I actually did order it through apple; I am expecting it tomorrow. I was just curious as to your reasoning. :)
Excellent! I did as well (I am not a Verizon customer).
Enjoy that iPhone! I see mine just left Louisville, KY 😊
