Every 2 days I get an update that the shipping date has changed and the morning of that date I get another text and email that state 2 more days - I literally have 9 emails stating a new delivery date. Apple support is a joke - waited on hold for 48 min to get moved to an escalation team waited 28 min for someone to tell me they have the phone so they can't do anything, but I can return it after I receive for a refund minus a 15% restocking charge Todays email:

That was the link sent to me via the order support escalation team when I called to try and cancel my order (which they claim is in process (meaning they have the product and its just awaiting shipping - their words) - where I declared absolute BS or I wouldn't have had the arrival date change notifications 10 times. I ordered an unlocked iphone17 pro max 512GB full price via apple.com literally within 3 min of the release date/time in the US

It’s simple they take as many orders as come in without really having the supply of phones on hand knowing they will get more and they just keep pushing ship dates back until they receive the phones it’s crazy. I ordered mine from Verizon two days ago on October 5th and already received it this morning at 9 am on October 7th the iPhone 17 Pro Max in cosmic orange and she’s so pretty 😍 I must have got lucky

There are surely plenty of people who have an order in processing. You were given a date range when you can expect your phone to be delivered. It will remain in processing until just before it is shipped, when the status will change from Processing to Preparing to Ship, then soon after that shipped. When it ships, Apple will send you a tracking confirmation.

I ordered 2 orange 17 PM's on Sep 26th and I have the same shipping window. although I ordered through AT&T, one of them already got here like a week or 2 ago and I'm getting impatient for the 2nd one

What did AT&T say when you contacted them about it?

The last time I ordered a phone from AT&T was 2 years ago. It was basically stolen from the shipping dock at their warehouse. Took 2 months to resolve it. Never again.

Similar experience ordering from AT&T as well. I now ONLY order my iPhone's from Apple directly.
