Preparing to ship = Waiting to ship. Just mislabeled for years.
Jesus, dude. Take a breath.Yeah my iPhone 14 pro max 256gb deep purple is coming via usps from apple it’s financed through T-Mobile I am trading in my 13 pro max but my estimated delivery date is October 10th / 17th it is what is but happy the taxes were only around $42 as opposed to going through T-Mobile app which the taxes were $99 plus and apple gave instant credit to be determined by the condition of my 13 pro max which is in great shape where as T-Mobile does the bill credit over 24 months so I will only owe like $479 after my phone trade in is processed not bad sorry for rambling on have a blessed day
I feel that it depends upon where you are in the world. I used iPad Air here in Australia and I couldn’t get on until about 5 minutes after opening at 10pm Friday (we are ahead of the USA) And then going through the order process a “cannot process at this time, please check back later” message came up. I had to then cancel the order process which quite often came up with the same message when trying to cancel. I finally got through the order 50 minutes after starting. I had a shower and went to bed just before midnight feeling absolutely wrung out.On checking for a confirmation email this morning I found out that I had somehow managed to order 2 identical phones (iPhone 14 Pro 512GB purple). I managed to cancel the second order. As a matter of interest (or not) when I was first able to get on the delivery was for the 16th, by the time I finally completed the order the delivery was 26th -28th September. The confirmation email for the inadvertently ordered 2nd iPhone which came 2 minutes after the first was listed the order numbers as 5,110,876 numbers apart so I think that means that they were getting more than 5 million orders a minute. Whew! Perhaps that explains the congestion.
And just like that... preparing to ship!
Preparing to ship status!! Wooo
The app was still telling me "just a few more finishing touches" at 8:30 am Eastern time after multiple quits and re-launches.
Aw man. I’m crying right now. Both of my iPhones moved to PFS. Let’s go!!!!
Happy and safe travels everyone. Get your passports ready!!!

YESSS!! LET'S GOOO
I don’t know if they’re still doing this, but for the 12 Pro Max, UPS told me they couldn’t honor the 2 hour window, because it was iPhone launch day. That’s when I switched to have my phone held at hub and picked it up then.
It should have. You have to click into the top bar and it will tell you if you want a pickup option or delivery. It took me a few seconds to figure it out when I was placing an order for the 2nd iPhone.
Pro max, Black, 1TB, preparing to ship!
Preparing for shipment - black 1 TB pro max 👏👏👏
It's not UPS's fault. It's Apple. They are very strict about it.
Looks like 1TB iPhone shipments are changing to "Prepare to ship"
Finally reached Apple customer service - and they expedited shipping on my 14PM 1TB SPace Black - due to the server issues when Apple Store finally reopened.
Shipment 2
Ships: 7–10 business days
Delivers: Sep 28 - Oct 3 by 2-3 Business Days
Hopefully you get it sooner.
Very nice! Love the white iPhone. Expect your tracking to populate within 24 hours.
Mine (14PM Silver 512GB) just switched to Preparing to Ship about 1430PDT.
Got a little something to tide me over a bit...
