My iPhone 18 pro max 512gb burgundy still hasnt shipped.

i had placed an order on sep 9th, and made a payment on sep 12th.

the estimated time of arrival was oct 24-29 but it now has changed to oct 5-7 as per checking today without even any notice

has anyone has their orders' status changed from processing?

It's not at all uncommon for the delivery date to be sooner than the original date. As to a status change, the order will remain in Processing until just before it is getting ready to ship, then it will be shipped and that all happens very quickly. Don't be concerned your order is still processing. This is quite normal and expected.

You’ll likely see little apparent status “movement” until several days before your promised date window.

Then things move fast.

Keep monitoring your credit card for activity.

For me it has routinely been the 1st indicator of substantive activity re: my order at the Eastern Asia manufacturing sites.

Delivery dates can and do change.

Yours was accelerated.

Every thing sounds perfectly normal.

I have had orders that have had the status changed to earlier and later dates because of inventory availability.

Things like this are not unusual. You will be advised if there are any additional changes.

Your order was originally scheduled to arrive on October 24-29.

You have been notified that your order will be arriving earlier on October 5-7....earlier than originally expected.

Are you concerned or upset that your order will be arriving earlier than expected? Most users would be thrilled to learn that their order will be coming earlier rather than later.

Yes, I have had orders that have had the status changed to earlier and later dates because of inventory availability. I imagine that things like this happen all the time.

Nothing wrong. Funds will not be deducted unless / until the iPhone has been shipped.

You just need to be patient.

i typed wrong dates by mistake

it was actually dayed

Well, that too isn't unusual. The new phones are quite popular and it seems Apple can't make them fast enough. At least you know it has been delayed.

I ordered my 18 pro max glacier in 256gb on September 30th, and it’s STILL showing up as “processing order”

not only that, but no funds have been deducted from my bank account. Maybe something’s wrong on my end?

Ordered mine Sept 20 with promising ship date Sept 29 to now Oct 28 🤦‍♀️

Apple really needs to do better
