Processing Order is taking long

I recently ordered an iPhone 12 Pro Max and has been processing for about 4 days should I be worried? Is this normal for new popular products?

Hi hvyden_,

Note that with the launch of a new iPhone, the excitement surrounding it can lead to demand exceeding the initial supply. We note it's been a few days since your post, so if everything is OK now, we hope you enjoy the device. If you still have issues or questions with your order, Apple's Sales Support Advisors would be in the best position to help provide guidance.

Your order should tell you within what date range you can expect to receive your phone. Did it not? When the phone is getting close to shipping, its status will change from Processing to Preparing to Ship, then Shipped. The later two stages happen very quickly. Processing will typically be the status until a couple days from the date you'll get your phone and that date will most likely be within the date range promised when you placed the order.
