Initially my package was scheduled to arrive October 3-10. However, I received an email from Apple on 9/20 that my order had shipped. UPS now shows my package as being rescheduled.

Mine was like that til next day it got warm on the MagSafe puck. But stayed around 74 percent during all the indexing and downloading after the quick start transfer was done. Lots of photos and apps to redownload that occurs. Anyway by next day it was better but not perfect but I was also on the phone probably alot more that first day playing with features so I used a little more there. But by day two and beyond I am seeing as good as my 13 ProMax if not better. Yesterday it seemed even better so the bottom line is it takes about 2 days to get to what will be “normal” at least in my experience.
I was hanging around to track my son's Purple Pro 256, but he just finally found one at our Apple store last night so we are scheduled to pick it up at noon today. Good luck to all the Oct 18-Oct 25th people. He already cancelled his order, so that's one more iPhone in the pipeline!! I usually don't upgrade for 2 or more years, so I'll see you guys in 2025 maybe.
As I mentioned in message replying to @Wxchaser it took two days to return to normal that equaled if not exceeded my daily battery use on the 13 ProMax for me. I did my install around 5 PM cdt and it was cranking and MagSafe puck was warm so I moved to the lighting charger. It stayed at 74 percent charged during that time. But next day it got to 100 percent but with my use increasing to play with new toy and probably still indexing and all I saw a extra drain that day to maybe 20 percent below what I saw with daily use on the 13 ProMax. Second full and on normal if not better battery operation than my 13 ProMax.
Got my Black 512GB iPhone Pro Max Wednesday a day later than UPS or Apple stated which is fine. Fairly pleased with it but man is the camera lens bump huge, almost too intrusive. Apple silicone case has a big lip around it but ordered spigen lens protector just to be on the safe side. Otherwise, the island is alright but noticeable bump from the constantly failing iPhone 12 PM I had that required three exchanges. Seamless transfer between phones so overall fairly content.
You are welcome those phones were cranking the first 24 hours especially the first 12 hours. I have 250 GB of photos, files apps on my phone so it always downloads them after the quick start install (well apps at least photos may already be there but never checked I just see that the apps are downloading while indexing also going on).
@Wxchaser check this article out. The later part has some interesting tests on the 14 ProMax battery basically as good to slightly better than the 13 ProMax which is what i have been seeing all week on mine. So you should see the same now that indexing is done unless you are spending more time than normal playing with your new phone then numbers will vary LOL
iPhone 14 Pro Max (2022) review: The battery life champ (for now)
You get more iPhone for your money with the iPhone 14 Pro Max--specifically, you get a lot more battery and a lot more display.

Just upgraded from 11 to 14. Set up was very easy and smooth. haven't taken out away from wifi yet to try out 5g.
Sending nothing but positive vibes for those still waiting to get their new iPhones!!!
One week later and the old phones have already been accepted and IUP loans closed. That was quick. Hope everyone enjoys their new phone. See you all next year!
My new order got pushed to Oct 21-28 from Oct 28-Nov 1
I was "online" at Apple website with a reserved time of 57mins after pre-order began. Ordered my phone at around 12:24pm EST (about 4hr 24mins) because if TMO's server not authenticating (also tried from Apple website, TMO website and called them, none working). Initially got a date of 10/3-10/10, but got the ship tracking info and credit card charge on 9/20/22. It is now on the van for delivery. It was a 14 PM 512GB Purple.
My wife's 14PM 512GB Gold was reserved 3mins after mine (6am PST) and ordered at 12:48pm ES (4hr 48mins), it showed an estimated delivery date of 10/10-10/17, still no movements yet.
From email confirmation on shipment (it's really shipped on 9/20) to estimated receiving date of 9/23, so really just 3 business days, I think it's quite impressive on the logistics side.
I will put the following tracking information down for people so they can estimate their delivery time:

I have to say, that is very efficient. Unfortunately, for me, since I am so close to the distribution center, I don't get my packages until 5-8pm tonight. lol.
As others have suggested, if you are not doing some sort of trade-in, keep checking Apple website. I ordered a 14 PM Purple 1TB for my father on 9/17, it had an original delivery date of 10/25-11/1 (now moved up to 10/21-10/28), I was able to order one for pickup late last night (around midnight). I picked it up this morning locally.

I was slightly tempted to wait for 15PM since it is rumored to have periscope zoom (essentially ability to have better zoom) and finally USB-C. But I guess I can always upgrade again next year
Yup I upgrade every year no matter what! iUP!I was slightly tempted to wait for 15PM since it is rumored to have periscope zoom (essentially ability to have better zoom) and finally USB-C. But I guess I can always upgrade again next year
Picked up my hubby's 2nd phone this morning. I have this really strong urge to open it, but I must not. It has to go back since he picked one up in our local Apple Store over the weekend thinking his wouldn't be delivered for 2 or 3 weeks. Also picked up my Air Pods Pro 2. I opened them up as soon as I got to the office and am currently using them. Haven't had a chance to try the ANC in a noisy environment but loving the volume controls on the stems and they sound great! Oops, didn't mean to post that as a reply to your comment, sorry!
So here’s how my delivery turned out last Friday. The preordered space black 14 pro 128 gb model was out for delivery at 9:30 that morning. I was eagerly anticipating its arrival and knew that I’d have to leave the office to retrieve it at home as soon as the ups truck was close or as soon as it was delivered. By around 1 pm that day it still had yet to be delivered but I also was getting nervous that I didn’t order one with enough storage, and I started thinking dang it I want the 256 gb. So I jumped on the Apple Store app and looked for availability for the space black 14 pro 256 gb model and sure enough there was stock that could be delivered from the store via a courtier that same day with a $9 fee. Around 2:30 that afternoon I decided to go for it and order the 256 gb model. It said the delivery window would be between 4 and 6 pm. Now keep in mind I’ve been tracking the original one I ordered all day and it seemed it was only a mile or 2 away for quite a few hours. So then I decided I needed to leave the office early for the day (I get off at 4:30) so I left at 3:45 because the courier had already left the Apple Store with my order. I raced home (I only live 2.3 miles from the office) and managed to arrive there before BOTH phones had been delivered. Originally I had thought the courier had retrieved my order from the Apple Store nearest to me but instead he got it from a store 40 minutes from me. So he was dealing with quite a bit of traffic on the freeway trying to get my order to me. But get this! Even though my first order seemed to be just a few miles away the courier with my 2nd order showed up first! Which I was happy about since that was the one I intended to open and keep. The first order ended up showing up an hour and a half later. Just thought it was crazy that the one I had ordered just a few hours before arrived before the one I had preordered on the previous Friday. The next day when I went to the Apple Store to pick up my series 8 watch order I returned the 128 gb 14 pro and also traded in my 12 pro. Got $500 for it, which I didn’t think was too bad considering I was trading it in to the Apple Store. Everything turned out fine in the end and I love both my 14 pro and my series 8 watch just funny the process we have to go through sometimes to get that fine ending.
Oh and if you only got through the first couple sentences of this post and fell asleep I can’t blame ya 😜
