How long does it take to process my order 2021?

I preordered the 13Pro max on 19th. The apple store apps shows standard deliver on 24th. But right now still on processing to ship. So my preorder phone will deliver on Friday on time or will be delay…

If your order says it will be delivered the 24th, it will be delivered the 24th. Updates for launch phones are always pretty delayed.


For example, my order for both iPhones says Delivery the 24th. The order itself has been on Preparing to Ship since I ordered the phones. But I have a UPS My Choice account and our phones actually left China on the 19th and will arrive in Louisville, KY later tonight. The order at Apple hasn't updated, but the phones are still on their way.


Be patient. They'll come when promised.

I’m beginning to see widespread reports of a delay of maybe a week or more in carriers shipping iPhone 13 preorders that were placed on Sept. 17, particularly in the Pro models.


I placed mine about 5 minutes after preorders went live, and my AT&T order info shows it still sitting in “ordered” status and not shipped, with no further information. I have received no communication about a delay in shipping or receipt, despite the promised delivery date of Sept. 24.


There are widespread reports of shipping delays for UK carriers, and they’ve had most of the day to get caught up with any shipping updates. The carriers seem to be telling people it could be a week or more before they ship.


So, a preorder with a release-day delivery promise is apparently FAR from a guarantee that you will get it on release day. At least this year.
