iPhone 16 Pro Max shipment delayed

placed order through web on 27th Sep 2024 for Apple 16 Pro still status not updated will I get the delivery on time on not. As per website it’s 19th Oct but phone is still not shipped. Where store and Flipkart is available to deliver before. I am still thinking why I have place my order with apple site. Quite bad experience

see mine was order the 2nd of October and mine is estimated 24-31st so when I keep checking it’s still processing and today is the 17 so what the **** is going on talk to someone not helpful at all and just keep saying it bee there and they are sending it out in batches but I’m like you should have enough for everyone like what the **** im so mad and waiting I have everything and now my phone is still processing like when will it be shipped. I hate it

Sometimes its not about slow release of the newest trending phone but about receiving a replacement of an older model. I have had an iphone 11 and it doesnt hold a charge at all. I have to keep it on the charger all day pretty much. It always drops calls. Every times there is a new software update, the phone gets slower. So, sometimes it's about upgrading to a new phone because your phone is about to take its last breath...it isnt even functional anymore. My 11 is on its way to becoming a paperweight. The shipment delays are unacceptable honestly, especially when paying over $1,000 and youre about to lose the phone you already own. Everyone has a right to be upset.

So you are using an iPhone released in 2019, over 5 years ago and you likely have never replaced the battery in your aging iPhone, which is why you have to keep it plugged in to get it work? Batteries don't last forever and on average need to be replaced after about 2 years, depending on how heavily it was used. So no, people don't have the right to be upset, when they could have easily extended the life of their phone while waiting for Apple supplies to catch up with demand. Knowing you needed a new iPhone, why didn't you take advantage of the preorder process when preorders opened at 5 AM Pacific on September 13th? Had you been at the ready like myself and millions of other people, your phone would have been delivered in exactly one week. That weekend alone, it was reported Apple sold in excess of 37,000,000 new phones. That's a staggering number, to say the least. And according to another article, more phones than Samsung sells in the US in one full year. They can only make them so fast and supplies have to catch up to demand.

I ordered an iPhone 16 ProMax on 29th September 2024, and the expected delivery date was tagged as Oct 22 to Oct 29. Until yesterday, the order was shownith a description of "We've received your payment information and we're preparing your order."

However, when I checked today, the status is still processing, and the description says, "This item will take longer than usual to ship. As soon as it's ready, we will send you an update and prepare the shipment".

Anyone else experienced this or similar? Wondering if it'll get delivered as per the dates committed during the order. 🤔

I pre-ordered my iPhone 16 Pro Max September 18 and I’ve been waiting a month now for it. It still hasn’t said shipped it was supposed to be delivered October 11. That was the estimated delivery day and I still have not got it and it’s October 20 now.

I ordered mine on 21/09 in London with delivery being between 15th - 22nd of October which is tomorrow but it still says order in progress…. When I called apple I was told to keep waiting or cancel the order!! It’s really shameful.

Does anyone know when they do eventually ship the order how long it will take to receive your phone?

I ordered mine on 9/13 with the expected arrival date of 9/20. It was also lost in transit. My replacement was due to arrive 3-4 weeks from 9/25 when the shipping investigation began. On 10/15 I got a notification that my order was due to arrive on 10/16. Surprisingly I did receive it on 10/16. When you receive your order, be sure to follow up on the transfer of Apple Care. I was told the same thing. However when I set up my phone, it said I had 60 days to add Apple Care.

Typically, when the order status changes from Order in Progress to Preparing to Ship, it ships very quickly and is often received within 2 days from the status change to Shipped. Apple will send you a tracking number when it has shipped so you can track it yourself.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say.

I think (but am not totally certain) they didn't order their phone from Apple, but from Verizon, which begs the question, why they posted here on this forum?

I ordered mine September 22nd with an expected shipping date of October 11th. It’s now October 22nd and I have not heard anything about the phone whatsoever. I have not even received a tracking number because it has not shipped yet. I ordered the 16 pro max in desert titanium with 256 gb.

I preordered mine on September 17th and it said it was supposed to be delivered by October 11th. I’ve called twice asking about the status now that it’s the 23rd of October and I am just told to wait since it hasn’t even been cleared for shipping. The latest date I was told was that it can take until November 20th.

I ordered my iPhone 16 on October 8th, I also ordered a watch later. On October 22nd UPS came home, they delivered the watch and returned with the phone saying that there was nobody at my house. The next day, they came and had someone sign for the package, when I opened it I only found the cable, no phone.

I opened an investigztiinnwith Apple and a claim with UPS. UPS told me that I should contact Apple and Apple to answer:

We have completed our review with the carrier regarding your shipment and have determined that we are unable to provide a replacement or process a refund.

At this point, the best I can recommend is for you to raise this and report to your local law enforcement. We suggest to contact your local authorities to have this reported. You can also file for a police report.

It doesn’t make any sense to me, I was so excited about my phone because I’ve been using the 11 and now that I wanted to change for my birthday that is coming in few days, and this is the gift that I got.

Apple and UPS are doing such a mediocre job!

I went to Google, I am not the first person who that happened with. UPS employees have been stolen people’s iPhone.

it is such a nightmare for me now, I don’t wish that to anyone. I advised that you go pick up your phone instead of having it delivered by UPS.

apple should change delivery carrier.
