Gold and Space Gray Xs Max 64 GB delivery only in October. Silver still on September 21.
 
Apple was late in opening. Ordered Black Max 512 at 3:02, arriving on the 21st. Whats this $30 upgrade fee?
I saw this too and was wondering about it as well. I'm on the IUP and I didn't pay a fee the last couple of years. I figured this was one of the benefits of not going through the carrier.
 
Has anyone who bought on the IUP gotten a confirmation email? Still waiting for the email...got my watch confirmation right away and I ordered that second

I received mine at 12:03 for first time IUP purchase.
 
Just got confirmation email. Xs Max 64GB Space Grey. I can't view the order though. Looks like its all down.
 
I still haven't gotten my confirmation and I ordered through iPhone Upgrade and did the pre-approved the other day. Was easy ordering. Except no confirmation still...

Yea, saw this too. Going to have to call Apple or AT&T in the morning.
 
Ordered two 256 gold maxes and a gold watch via the App. Got my confirmation emails quickly. Now time to obsessively wait to see when my card's charged. Got 9/21 on all orders.
 
It seems like sim free was the best option for the Max at least. I ordered a sg 256gb T-Mobile Xs Max as soon as the store opened and got a 9/28-10/05 delivery window. Sim free is still 9/21 delivery. Last year too though I got a week later delivery date but received it on launch day.
 
Well I fell asleep and woke up at 12:06 in a panic. Rushed onto the app and (after forgetting my account pin and having to do a bit of digging for it) I got my email confirmation at 12:14. Space Grey 256gb XS max to be delivered on 9/21!!

and now back to sleep.

Everyone has their hand out these days. Who's your carrier? I've had good luck getting AT&T to waive the fee... this year, I went SIM-free to save the hassle. First time SIM-free was available on launch day in the US.

was able to reserve a carrier upgrade Space Grey SX Max 64 GB that was supprized last time I was unable to pre order and ended up going early (Getting to old to stand out side for hours)
 
Was finished with my purchase on the phone app before the website ever opened up. Gold XS 512GB, delivery on 9/21. I'm so excited! My very first non-black/gray iPhone!

I already bought a cool case that has Mulan on the back (yes, I'm a Disney freak, annual passes and all) and part of it is clear so the gold will show through.

Yup, IUP preapprived, Store app up at 3:02a, got the order through at 3:04a. Went back in, got my watch through at 3:10a along with some cases for the phone. Watch conf. email was instant, IUP email JUST came at 3:28a.

I was waiting up anxiously for it but it confirms my 9/21 delivery date. Now I need to see if I can sleep after that anxiety attack...
