iPhone 16 Pro Max shipment delayed

I ordered my iphone 16 pro max at 5AM PDT on september 13, initially it was supposed to arrive today, friday september 20. On "my orders", it still says that it´s friday september 20, but when I track it in UPS it says it will arrive on monday. Is there any way I can know for sure when it will arrive? Also, the package is currently 5 hours away from my location.

I preordered mine Sept 16, mine has an estimated delivery of 9-16 Oct. My order has just been sitting at processing for a week, it hasn’t even charged my bank account yet.

I’m having an even stranger experience. I’m in the UK and mine was supposed to be delivered today, per DPD tracking it was out for delivery and then suddenly it’s delayed until Monday because the driver encountered an issue in my area. I get another email from Apple saying my order is processing and estimated to ship in 3-4 weeks… I check the order on my account and theres the one that was supposed to come today saying arriving soon but when I scroll down there’s another one saying replacement and preparing to ship??


DPD couldn’t give me much more info than they will retry on Monday, but I’m thinking did my phone get robbed and now they’re sending a replacement but not explaining to me??

Apple said it was shipping out a replacement phone. They wouldn't tell me why I needed a replacement.


They said they were launching an investigation into what had happened and that I would definitely be contacted within 3 business days


A week passed by with no contact from Apple. After being on hold for a long time, I was told there was currently no update for the "investigation".


In the meantime, my "replacement" for a phone that should've been delivered on day 1 was now saying that it would arrive around *1 November*!


I cancelled the order, as well

as separate lesers for a watch and a

MacBook.


I love apple products buf I'm not gonna pay them money for this kind of awful service

Same issue here... but I'm pretty sure this is Apple's fault and not UPS. UPS Tracking shows mine had it's shipper label made and arrived at the facility in ZhengZhou China at 1:42PM today's date in China (14 hours ahead of my timezone), and on it's way from there starting 6:30pm today's date in China. So technically, it started shipping to me from China at 4:30am my time. Not sure how Apple would expect UPS to deliver today when they waited so long to provide it to UPS.

Ordered 16 pro on Oct 5th (estimated delivery Oct 22-29). Still processing after 10 days 🤦🏻

The status will remain in processing until just before they are ready to ship it. You'll then see Preparing to Ship, followed pretty quickly by Shipped and you'll get an email with tracking information. Your order is in the right stage at this point.

The exact same thing happened to me, said that it was on the truck for delivery on the 20th and then all of a sudden said that customer requested Saturday delivery at a better time. I made no such call I really do hope that UPS gets called out for lying to their customers it’s now Saturday and it still says it’s two states away now in Kentucky.
