They just started production a few days ago. They won't be announced until mid to late Oct and you won't be seeing one until Nov, Dec for Pro models. So be prepared for a long wait.

I am prepared for the long haul for the Pro Max. It would have been nice to at least see them today, but if pre-orders went live, it would have been much harder to wait until December for it, if the rumor is true. In the meantime I will have the new watch to play with.

Here you go again with the they just started production a few days ago and iPhones won’t be out for months. We already know this so how many times are you going to keep repeating this. I so hope you are wrong so you can eat your own words.

There is no way Apple is going to make us wait till late November or December for the iPhone. Especially with all the flagships announcing new phones.
My money is on October - Mid October
 
I hope we get an announcement date this coming week. Some sources are reporting they will send the invites out for early October.

My prediction:

New annoucement: This week
Virtual event: Last month of September or 1st week of October.
Staggered Release date: Mid October/Late October.

That would be cool. Where did you hear about invites going out soon?
 
I went from an XS Max to an 11 Pro last year. I am going to switch back to the Max this year.

Definitely going with a 256 GB 12 Pro Max, but I’m not sure about the color yet. I have midnight green now and may go with gold or blue this year. Will probably go with gold because I want a lighter color again.

Too bad only the non-Pro models get lighter colors. I’m loving the new Sky Blue on the iPad Air.

I want a Rose Gold iPhone again, but the Pro models always get the boring colors. I know not to order the blue model because it will be the hottest color for the pro models. I’m going to play it safe and get the Silver. I have the gold XS Max and want a different color.

What was funny is I had the same theory for Silver with 11PM, but then the morning of pickup on launch day I get a delayed email (would be nice if it came a bit sooner) Luckily I found a Midnight Green 256 on the site Saturday Morning. I think it is too dark though. It rarely looks green to me. Either Dark Gray or Black. Hoping the blue is a little lighter.

I hope that’s not the issue this year. I even looked into getting the blue version, but that’s the most talked about color this year.

If they have the blue in the traditional 5.4” 12 I’m sold.
 
I apologize if this has already been asked here, but after the watch order *ahem* excitement, who is planning on pre-ordering the phone for shipping vs waiting until store pickup is available? (Assuming store pickup isn’t available until launch day again)

It’ll be shipping from apple direct for me because I don’t want a carrier iPhone. Bestbuy still as far as I know use retailer flex policy , meaning iPhone will be locked to the first sim that it’s inserted in. Plus for resale value unlocked carrier free phones are better.
