Other 2022 iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[Cyberguycpt]

Did anyone get charged yet? I haven’t but I’m not sure if that’s normal

I was charged a while ago.

 

[edlex]

Oh yeah! the email was delayed, LOL. Lost somewhere in the wild. At least he got his iPhone on time.

That’s what I’m hoping for…

 

[AbSoluTc]

Is Marques REALLY that tall?! Or is everybody else just short? Holy cow the difference!

You're not serious right? It's a photoshop lol

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Yours said Standard Delivery right? You may still be with UPS.

Both of my orders are saying Standard Delivery. So hoping it is UPS. I don’t see apple using both carriers to ship the iPhone in the U.S. they will only use one shipment freight carrier because it's coming from China.

It's great to finally say something in this thread!

I've been watching the megathreads here for a couple of (consecutive) years now and absolutely love the discussions that go on. They really bring extra life to this time period!

I've pre-ordered a Silver iPhone 14 Pro Max & AirPods Pro (2nd generation) at roughly 8:13AM (ET). Unfortunately, my iPhone delivery date had slipped to Sept. 28th - Oct. 3rd (past experiences suggest this may be moved closer by about 5 days or so in the coming week(s)). I've been getting 503 errors all day so far on each of my order listing pages due to the overload, which is fine, but I'm starting to grow more concerned about the status of my orders. Both my iPhone and AirPods (two separate orders) are still on "Order Placed" with the only change being the banner up top saying "Processing will begin shortly..." Other than that, nothing has happened. I've been seeing more and more people with Sept. 23rd (even a few 28th) dates saying they've been moved to the processing stage. I'm not overly concerned with the iPhone just yet, but since many people are saying that their APP orders are processing (same launch day delivery dates as well), I just wanted to ask around to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

Of course, I have PTSD (SUPER long story) from the iPhone 12/12 Pro launch (and similar thing from last years iPhone 13/13 launch as well lol) which is driving my "lack of progress" concern with these orders.

Anyways, great to finally say something here for once!

Mine still shows 16th. Hopefully it doesn't change. Ordered Deep Purple.

 

[Brad7]

A bunch of us who chose Standard Shipping (which in the past was always UPS/FedEx) have order confirmations which now say "Postal Service" and the date got pushed out a week.

Great, now I have this to worry about for the rest of the day 😳

Purple is a way of life for me. I am happy to live in a state without sales tax (New Hampshire.) The 3% cash back on the Apple Card for paying both items in full ($45.84) isn’t shabby either. I will just pay off the card after the purchase posts. Both items delivering on the 16th.

I love status changes, even the small ones! 😂😂😂

Dang! this is a nice combination. Congratulations!

 

[batristain]

I was ready to go for preorder but once it hit 7am the page updated to a apple store is putting in some finishing touches or something like that for roughly 8-9 minutes before I could complete my order.

same for me.....

I posted this earlier but I know the thread moves fast. My chat agent confirmed that USPS is supposedly intentional...my previous post:

Two orders, 14P (256/Black/Vzn) for me and 14PM (256/Purple/Vzn) for my wife. Both said Sept 16 at checkout and both now have the dreaded Sept 23 "Postal Service." Postal Service is a disaster here (had a lost package last week) so I finally got through on chat. The agent first gave the "system is too busy to check" that others got but then I was surprised to see: "I understand your point of view here however the volume of pre-orders right now is really loading up the carriers that's why you suddenly have USPS right now." Surprised me to see this chat agent basically saying that it's possible it will ship USPS.

Yes - but f you are moving to including shipments via USPS due to carriers being "loaded up" why would you ship them all exactly one week later? No one has shown a Postal Service shipping for 9/16. All 9/23 no matter when it was ordered. Even on models that are still listed as shipping 9/16 on the website as of around noon...

I'm guessing it may in fact be indie band "The Postal Service" that is in fact delivering the phones, and the week delay is to allow the band members to get around the country....

 

[Shh]

You should have it held at the UPS CC that your packages come from, and pick it up first thing in the morning when they open.

I’ll look into that. Thank you.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

That’s what I’m hoping for…

As long your delivery date does not change. You have nothing to be worried about. Maybe try to ask Apple agent to re-send you the email.

Welcome, glad to have you on board! Yes that sounds similar to mine, order has been placed. I believe the store app is slowly rolling out changes. Hang in there!

 

[bbs008]

Got my iphone 14 pro confirmation at 8 am est and airpods pro 2 at 8:01 am. This is the fastest yet for me!

 

[macbookguy]

Just got changed to expedited shipping but it didn’t improve my 9/23.

You've got bigger problems if you got PTSD from ordering an iPhone lol. In all of those past orders, you got the phone eventually. No need to obsess over it, try to find something else to do.

 

[Brad7]

Ok so one of my two APP orders finally started moving and the Cancel button on it showed up! I was able to Cancel it. Looks like updates are slowly coming in.

 

[Stlcheer]

So in the past Apple has quoted an estimated time for delivery and they have usually underpromised and over delivered.

Maybe Apple will use what phones are preordered to ramp up supply of the most in demand phones to get you a phone before the estimated date.

I hope so. And I hope it changes from postal delivery. I’ve never seen that before.

Thanks, glad to be here! Ah man, it seems like a painfully long process haha

Good to know I'm not the only one!

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

What about this one? Maybe he is REALLY that short?!

 

[Foobus]

Thank you for re-posting this. Dang! This is wild. There goes our tracking Also, some people confirmed its UPS and some are saying USPS. It seems like Apple themselves doesn't even know.

Exactly. I'm assuming this is just some glitchy behavior in the overloaded system, and the Apple Reps have no script yet to explain it. As we've seen at least 30-40 reports of this here in this forum, it has to be effecting many hundreds of orders, and Apple will have to at some time address it (even if that's just quietly updating the shipping info at some point). I highly doubt somewhere in Logistics they made the decision to assign a 7 day delay and use USPS for seemingly random orders in which you had no choice for the shipping at order time, and they "promised" 9/16 at the time of ordering.

 

[Pedicone1211]

Did you call?

I couldn't be any busier than I am now to be honest. Besides, of course I don't actually have PTSD from an order - just a joke lol
