iPhone 16 Pro Max shipment delayed

Yes same! My phone was originally spotted in my neighborhood out for delivery by UPS and then all of a sudden I got a UPS update saying I requested a Saturday delivery, which never happened and the phone is now in Louisville KY which is nowhere near me.

This does not change the fact that within a few hours, iphone 16 pro max deliveries are now 3-4 weeks. What could cause such delays other than lack of organization and huge supply issues. I live in Cyprus. I spoke with the official apple store in Cyprus. They have 2500 units preordered and so far, they received 20 units in two weeks. And this is only one shop (main apple representative). I cannot imagine what is happening with the big telecommunications companies that have the majority of customers!

Your screenshot has been super helpful (I’ve been comparing your old tracking data to my ongoing tracking - with that being said, you might want to delete it depending on how much PPI a person can retrieve using a tracking number (I have no clue)). Anywho, mine is doing something similar. UPS says it’s still overseas while other data says it’s in Louisville. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the later in hopes it arrives tomorrow rather than Friday.

No ship date, Nada. Given New to this, I’m realizing I ordered the day the phone was released. And more less the “Color of the year”. We did get two immediately within two days from ordering. There for in my mind I had zero reason to doubt when I was told two day shipment for mine.

Well here we are & still no ship date!

The thing is on September 20 at 10 am at the dot. I went to the Apple store app and purchased the phone and I got the phone the next day and I cancelled the pre-order.

instead of waiting for three weeks and now it’s out of stock

That’s wild, I ordered mine and my lady’s at the same time. She got the desert color max and I got the white. She got hers within a week after ordering and mine says November 6th is the estimated delivery date🤦🏾‍♂️. Wonder if the white is most popular maybe that’s why?

I am upgrading from an iPhone 12 Pro to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. So, I ordered the iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB White Titanium on September 25th and it’s been showing that my order is “Processing” since the 25th of September. My estimated delivery date shows October 18 through October 25th, so I probably won’t be getting it until about a month or so later. Also, they do not bill you until your order has been shipped. This is why they say to go into the store if you want it in your hands the same day, it definitely takes a lot of patience.

I have ordered my Iphone 16 pro max on sep 20,2024. They show it a delivery range of Oct 9 - 17. But i have a flight to japan on oct 12. I have a plan to reside for 6 months . Is there any possibility to get my iphone before 12th October

No one here can answer this. The delivery time frame is usually quite accurate. It may arrive anytime within the delivery window Apple told you and there is no way to speed it up.

Same here. It has been on processing for like forever!!!

Hyperbole is rarely useful in situations like this. It will be in processing until processing is finished.

Keep in mind that if you're in the U.S., timelines may have been affected by the longshoremen's strike (which has ended).

I ordered Sept 15 with an estimated delivery of 10/08-10/15. I still haven't been charged as of yet so I ended up canceling my order because the device I wanted became available at my local store. I canceled, re ordered and chose in store pick up.

Not blaming anyone -- I just saw everyone talking about UPS flopping so I got scared! LOL

I ordered mine the same day and it said that it would be delivered by October 7 through October 14 and today is October 5 and it’s still says processing and it hasn’t even charged my card… Hopefully, we all get our soon

I want to cancel and buy Samsung.

Who is stopping you?

Now that they've gotten the battery exploding issues under control, Samsung makes good phones. Lots of bloatware as they will allow carriers to add things. But the screens are nice.

my experience was i ordered it back end of September. It was estimated to ship out 10/04 - 10/08, it finally gave me a tracking number and shipped out Saturday October 5th & was delivered October 7th. I ordered the IPhone 16 Pro Max, so not sure if the shipping takes longer for certain models due to popularity.

I ordered mine on 9/13, same ocurred til it was returned to apple. No explanation and now they request a reship this was on Monday 10/7, and they said can be send by November. I think something is occurring. At first I saw the message that the item was in a secure location waiting for a release I thought was because of the strike. The box for trading arrived on 9/30, Apple says this will be canceled and begin the trade in process again when the new iPhone arrives
