iPhone 13 pro - Pre - Order processing since purchased

You're a little misinformed. The delivery date range is just that. Your phone can arrive anywhere from October 8th to October 18th. It doesn't mean it will only come on the 18th. When Apple has your phone, your status on your order will go from Processing to Preparing to Ship. Once it is shipped, the status will again change to Shipped and you'll get a shipping notification with tracking information. Apple is very good at knowing their inventory and they try to get your ordered device to you the soonest they can and they often get it shipped sooner.

Remember they don't get your money until the phone is shipped.

2 more day, will be full 2weeks, I purchased on launch day the first min, and people who walked in apple store at 24th, it's already get the phone, so I don't know why apple makes a pre order thing, why letting people wait the first thing morning to pre order and get phone actually on month later, what is the point, and I order the iPad pro on the launch day too last year it's only take 5days change to prepare to ship, but this phone takes forever

people around me it's already in hand，and why those YouTubers have the phone so quick, we paying same money, is it unfair? And are you work for apple? If you are, can you please work on some the order instead argue with me

No one on this forum works for Apple. I'm a user just like you, so I cannot do anything to get your phone faster to you.

If explaining reality is arguing with you, I simply won't respond to you further.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy your phone when you get it.

It's been explained why. An order remains in Processing status until it is getting ready to be shipped. It's status will then change to Preparing to Ship and that doesn't happen UNTIL it's actually preparing to ship. Once it is shipped, the status will change to shipped, your payment method will be charged and you'll receive tracking information so you can track the shipment.

It's very simple.

No. Apple knows what inventory they'll receive. Their order system is pretty smart. If they suggest a phone will be delivered within a date range, it should be delivered within that range of dates.

Since Apple doesn't charge until a phone has actually been shipped, you can be assured, they would like nothing more than to speed things up. Of course that would mean they have to actually have phones to ship to people. But as already pointed out, this is an unusual year, with unusual circumstances, completely out of Apple's directly control.

So you ordered your iPhone 13 Pro on the first week of September? Because you mentioned that you've been checking your email everyday for almost 3 weeks for a shipping confirmation. C'mon now. Get real.

hello sir, do you think apple will be able to deliver my items on or before their posted dates? I ordered my phones 7-10 days ago and they gave me an estimated date from october 26 to november 2, I am a little bit worried because these phones are presents which I will be bringing home to the Philippines, my flight is on the 29th of October, this is my first time ordering Iphone thru their website, and it is by door to door delivery, hope you could help, thank you!

We're not Apple, we're just users, but Apple is pretty good about hitting target dates.

That having been said, since they gave a date range and your flight is in the middle of it, there's no guarantee your phone(s) will arrive before your flight, it depends upon the shipper and their schedule.

You may want to double check if an Apple Store near you has a configuration you would like in stock.

thank you for the reply sir! keeping my fingers crossed! lol, I was given dates too with my macbook and aripods, and both arrive a day or two before the earliest posted date from apple, hope the same happens with the iphones too, i'm just worried since it is so in demand that delays or moving the dates further might be possible from apple, i hope not

No one here works for Apple. Apple will deliver the phones when they have them ready to deliver. They won't move that schedule for you specifically. All you can do is hope they arrive in time for your flight.

And that means the phone can arrive anytime from the 13th to the 20th. It is not yet preparing to ship. But be assured your phone's status will change before the 20th, then very quickly show shipped. Once it's preparing to ship, the rest is quite quick. Worry not. The status truly won't change a moment before it's preparing to ship.

Of course that begs the question of what a "standard" amount of storage is.

For example, in past years Apple has stocked a low memory config and a maxed out config.

It's virtually impossible to tell from the web site, you have to go to the physical store and see which SKUs they have on hand or expect to.
