Will I receive my iPhone 16 Pro before the launch date on the 20th, if I pre-ordered it?

I placed the pre-order promptly this morning the moment the apple stored allowed. My card has already been charged and the order is now in "processing". Apple usually does not charge for payment until an order shipped. Can I assume my phone is shipping or very close to it and potentially will receive before the launch date on the 20th?


Thoughts?

You won’t receive it before launch day. It may ship and start moving through the chain but it will be held at the shipping hub until an authorized date to start the final shipping route to you. You will receive it on launch day if that is when it’s scheduled unless of course delays occur (once the shipper has it for example if a significant weather event occurs it could cause delays).
