Other Apple.com iPhone 12/Pro/Max/Mini Pre-Order/Order Status/Delivery Thread (2020) [Merged]

Coming from a 256GB Matte Black iPhone 7+.... ordered the following.I'm female:

- 512 GB iPhone 12 Pro Max Gold
- iPhone Pro Max Silicon Case - Plum
- European 20W USB-C Adapter

My Pro Max Silicon case already arrived same-day delivery via Amazon. USB-C 20W adapter arrives tomorrow via Apple. and the 512 GB iPhone 12 Pro Max arrives between Dec 15-22, card got pending yesterday - Ordered on 28/11.

Apart from these items i got some goodies as: Magsafe charger, 3 Magsafe Apple wallets (Green,Blue,Saddle Brown) and glass screen protectors. The Magsafe charger and the wallets are knockoff, but incredibly well made. As i already have a 100W charger and the fast Apple 20W new charger and know that the Magsafe 15W was not fast at all, purchase a cheap knockoff for the novelty as well as some wallets for $3 each. Those arrive also the 22 Dec or earlier.

This will be a long wait. I have some stuff shipped to the USA: iPhone, Case, Glass screen protectors. And some other stuff shipped to Spain where i'm currently at: 20W charger, Chinese stuff. I have scheduled a friend to fly last days of December, or maybe 1st days of January to bring me the iPhone here, but looks like a long wait. Paid for iPhone with a Citi extended warranty CC for 2 year warranty extension, and a $50 credit out of a promo.
 
They even moved up the delivery date from 16-23 dec. Don’t think I’ve ever experienced that.

Thank you! It was updated around 8:20 PM EST and interestingly, it looks like it is shipping within Canada. Maybe because of holiday deliveries.

Do you live in Canada? I think that would be the only explanation? Not sure. I know in the U.S when there are plenty of stock and warehouse has them stocked up, they ship directly from those wareshouses.

Apple will typically do that. When I ordered the 12 Pro max for my wife on 11/20/2020. I was originally given the 12/16-12/23 estimated deliery Date. on 11/25/2020 I got notified that it had changed from that to 12/9 - 12/16. But I also checked apple.com and for all models it was showing that at the time. Anyways, My card got charged on 11/30/2020 and shipped on 12/1/2020 and Received it on 12/7/2020. I can't remember what the date was changed to once it was shipped.

I will say, I ordered an SBTI Apple Watch 6 two days ago, and it shipped coming from Shanghai, CN, right now it arrived Osaka, JP, and tracking is telling me it will be delivered tomorrow, which I doubt. Originally was given a 12/14/2020 delivery time and last night when it departed Shanghai, CN, it updated to tomorrow.

Yes I live in Canada. There’s plenty of stock available in Toronto but none in Montreal so looks like they have started the same practice here as well.

Mine is finally shipped. Ordered 12 Pro Pacific Blue 256GB on 11/22 and shipped on 12/10, with expected arrival date on 12/17. Label is created in ZhengZhou, China, and I believe that is where Foxconn factory is located.

So, looks like the Pacific Blue 12 Pro variants are being shipped from Zhengzhou but other colors of 12 Pro and all of Pro Max models(irrespective of color) seem to be shipping locally (For Canada).🤔

If anyone is interested in a thin case that’s not clear I found the perfect one. I’m using the Casekoo Pacific Blue thin case on my Pro Max. The case felt slippery at first, but after a few hours I got used to it. It’s really thin and don’t take away the squared edges look. The case feel like I don’t have one on it. There is a bump to protect the camera and I can still the pacific blue color on the camera bump. The volume buttons were stiff at first, but after a few hours they’re fine to press. I haven’t dropped my phone yet (knock on wood), but it seem like it offers some protection. In the last 2 years, this is the first colored case I’ve used. I can see myself using it on a daily basis.

Ordered my silver 12 Pro 128 GB on November 23rd, and today finally got a confirmation of it being shipped out of China. Estimated delivery of December 16-23. I’m super excited, and after going on an all-out Apple shopping spree in these past few months (the money I saved from traveling, eating out everyday, and other social outings I took the opportunity to upgrade all my tech), the 12 Pro should be my last purchase of this year.

Hi
I odered my Iphone 12 pro 128gb blue on October 26 through a carrier (called Yousee) in Denmark. I have called them numerous times and they have NO idea when it will be delivered. They say that Apple are not able to send the amount of phones they thought because of the corona virus situation. Has anyone else experienced this when ordering their phone through a phone carrier company? I mean, the delay has been so long now that I am starting going nuts...

Should I just cancel my order and order it directly from Apple? (loosing a significant discount on the phone)
I am just annoyed that Yousee have no idea of when I will receive my phone, which basically mean that I can have it in a few days or wait for eternity - if I order it from Apple, I will at least get a delivery date/estimate... but from Yousee I might get it way earlier than from Apple, or maybe wait even longer since they dont know anything about the delivery date... argh, frustrating!

Any advice or similar experince?

How big of a discount are you getting to make it worth the wait? I ordered a 12 Pro in pacific blue for a friend on October 26th directly from Apple (United States) and it arrived on November 12th

So my delivery date is now tomorrow. It says this on UPS website but I called them and they said that it will be delivered tomorrow. Much earlier then Apple's original date of between 17-24 December.

@wytwolf Check yours too :)

Same here. Shipped out of Caledon, ON, on 12/10/2020 - 20:13 Delivery date is next week (about week sooner than Apples Dec 22). Now if only peel could ship my darn cases. Ordered black Friday for the BOGO and nothing shipped yet. It looks like my MBP will be a post Christmas delivery at this stage though.

Around 270 US dollars discount.. however not worth it considering the looooong delay, but now I’m this long in the wait.. so the question is, do I keep my position in the line at the phone carrier or do I leave it and enter the Apple line (2-3 weeks wait)?

hmmm that's a good question because it's about a month wait in the U.S to actually have the 12 Pro delivered. Just checked 1/12/2021. Insane. that's 4 weeks.

Got my gold Max on launch day, you’re going to love it. It’s a beautiful color! I have the Apple leather cases on mine. They really are nice and have a great feel. Just my preference. I haven’t found a clear one that I like yet... enjoy! The camera is awesome
