I ordered the Pro Max and it’s still on Preparing to Ship status, with a 11/13 Delivery date. This post gives me hope to see it on Friday...Thanks!
Not sure if this is your first year preordering or not, but there isn’t anyone that isn’t still on the Preparing to Ship status. We just know the tracking number from having UPS my choice. It won’t go to Shipped for anyone until tomorrow. No need to worry!

i haven't read the last couple pages, but zollotech confirmed in his iPhone 12 mini unboxing video that both Pro Max and mini come with 14.1 instealled, fyi

They might have gotten an early shipment, but 14.2 was out for developers in time to be included in the newly shipped phones.

Was looking at the differences this morning in case size, but can't help but be a little disappointed that they didn't offer a Deep Navy leather option this time around. LOVED the way the one for my 11 Pro Max aged over the last year. Leather is awesome, it shows so much character!

Yeah I was hoping also for a deeper blue initially - like the Silicone color. At first I didn't know what to think of the Baltic Blue case after blindly ordering it from Apple last Fri. After seeing multiple video, photos of the Baltic Blue case on the phone-Graphite and Pac Blue, I'm convinced it should look darn good.


I did have the Midnight Blue Apple leather a few phones ago...it really is a great color. I know leather and water don't mix, but after a slight drizzle, my MB leather case had a few raindrops on it, bubbled up and started peeling away that night. Ugh. Never happened before, or since on my Apple cases (I went with Midnight Green on XSMax)

I am liking this color, texture a little more though. I never heard of "Bullstrap," looks nice though.
Cases for ProMax are "Pre-Order"

My 1st iPhone Story
I went on month to month with Verizon because I was waiting for the very first iPhone. At the time, the iPhone could only be used with AT&T’s network. The Friday launch day came and went and it was now Saturday and I didn’t buy the iPhone. I was very curious as to the crowds in line and if there were any iPhones left. I called the Columbia, MD Apple Store and got an employee. I said to him, “I’m very sorry to bother you. You must be very busy today, but I was wondering how many people are in line for the iPhone.” He replied, “Oh, there are no lines.” I said, “Well, do you have any iPhones?” He replied, “Oh yes, we have iPhones.” I hangup the phone and immediately drive to the Apple Store to buy the iPhone, the very first year of its existence. It didn’t have an SSD. It had a hard drive and was thick and heavy. The only data network at the time was Edge and boy was it slow, so slow that it was pretty much unusable. But it was great in WiFi. I’ve had an iPhone ever since.
 
OMG this just happened.
Just signed up for Apple Card and got approved. (Not sure if my husband will be happy with this since he did not want each to have a card🤫)
Ordered plum silicone case for pro Max and MagSafe charger.
Will be picking up later today at a store. ☺️
Just tell him you get a 3% discount and you don't have to pay for it until the end if December. Ha Ha!

I arrived at the AT&T store in Lanham, MD at around 12:30pm on July 29th, 2007. I asked the manager where the line would be forming. He really had no idea, so I just took up a position outside the main door. A few minutes later, a teenager came up and stood behind me - we had a line! We talked quite a bit as people slowly began arriving and lining up behind us. At around 3pm my sister showed up bearing cold sodas and she stood with me for the rest of the afternoon.

At 4:30 the store closed and the windows were blacked out. At 6 they reopened and let folks in five at a time. By this time there were probably about 60 or 70 people in line. I went up to the counter, got my $600 iPhone and walked out to cheers and applause from the people in line. It was a true geek moment.
 
Oh ok, that’s weird, when you search it on google it says 11 hours. Maybe it’s a bug relating to the different time zones or something.
That's possible. Commercial flights with layovers are 11 hours. FlightAware shows UPS91 between 5.5 and 6.5 hours.
 
I still have no email from Apple - but, my phone has left Alaska>......somFriday is looking good for delivery. 🙂 Meanwhile, I ordered a charger and case yesterday and have gotten a couple emails from Apple..go figure.
This is normal... we don’t usually get the email until tomorrow. Don’t worry. We do this every year! 💕💕💕
