How long does it take to get past “Pending port approval”?
Where did you place your order? It sounds like Apple.com. I don’t believe that’s a status that’s seen when ordering from att.com.
EDIT: I stand corrected. I found online that port approvals can take 3-5 days. Not sure if that’ll be the case for you though. Might want to contact att to confirm.
Here’s the link I found-

I ordered off the Att website. Cust service said it will be delivered by the 13th so time will tell I guess

For those that are getting tracking numbers did you order directly through att or did you order through Apple.

All right nothing about my mini yet. ordered seven minutes after they openEd- still stuck in preparing
I’m in the exact same boat. iPhone Pro Max 256gb SG ordered 7 mins after opening. Nothing past “preparing to ship” yet.

No. I played around on AT&T website to compare the 5g plans. My current 4g unlimited family plan only has 22g of high speed/4g data, but it includes AT&T Watch TV and HBO MAX. The new 5g plan is slightly cheaper (around 10-20/month), includes 100g of high speed data before they limit your speed, but I’ll lose the AT&T Watch TV which means I’ll have to pay more in total for cell + TV.

After reading about how 5g speed in some situations can be slower vs 4g at least for now, I’m in no hurry to change my plan yet. It kinda sucks though to have to change plans/lose features if I want to use the 5g speed on the 12 Pro Max coming this Friday...
If you like your current plan just wait. Many people reporting 5G actually slower than LTE. The Qualcomm 55 modem chip and radios are faster on LTE so phone is worth it regardless of 5G. Have not seen a single report that reception, call quality, data speeds are worse. At times have seen a four fold increase in data download speeds on LTE. LTE faster at my home than 5G. Don’t use it much either way since at home on Wi-Fi calling and data.

You realize it’s just a phone, right. Imagine how excited you would be if something truly noteworthy was about to happen. Relax, take slow deep breaths, listen to soothing music. In a couple weeks all will be fine again.....till next year.

Ordered my Max directly Apple (coming from China via UPS) and Mini through AT&T (coming from TX via FEDEX)

Received an email and tracking info popped up in my FEDEX app yesterday morning while still says Preparing to ship on AT&T.

They always overnight my stuff, if it doesn’t say shipped by Thursday night THEN there’s a problem. No worries.
I definitely noticed form reading the thread from when the 12 and 12 pro were released that most got shipping information the day before launch, so I definitely agree with you not to worry until then.
