When I ordered a iPhone 12 on 10/16 for my wife I got a FedEx shipping notification on 10/17 and it was delivered on launch day 10/23. For my Pro Max still says "preparing for shipment". My timestamp on my order was 8:00:42. Find it odd I still dont have a shipping notification. FYI I live on Long Island near JFK. Anyone else near me the same?

I’m in Illinois, haven’t had any ship order yet. Can’t find it on UPS or Fed ex. I’m sure it’ll pop up today

I'm in the Chicago area and my info is sitting in FedEx.

So I ordered Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max - 256GB - Graphite through AT&T on 11/06/2020 at 8:02:35 a.m. ET.

My order still says "Preparing to Ship" and that's it. I checked both FedEx and UPS with no updates in there.

Should I be concerned?

I ordered mine about 8:15 on the 6th. Mine still says preparing to ship. Wish I’d get updated soon.

As long as estimated date is still unchanged then no. No need to be concerned.

I ordered Graphite 512gb from AT&T at 4:55am PST on 11/6 (they started early) and am still in “preparing to ship” purgatory. If I am remembering correctly, the last time I pre-ordered from AT&T nothing changed until the day before launch day and my phone arrived on launch day. I imagine the same thing will happen tomorrow/Friday for us. Two more days! ?

Ordered my 512gb graphite Pro Max from AT&T on the afternoon of Nov 9, expected delivery date between 11/17 - 11/24. Status is still "Preparing to ship". Not especially concerned, I have plenty of other things to do and it will get here when it gets here. :)

Same. Ordered at 7:59AM EST, same Pro Max model/color and waiting in the "Preparing to ship" status". I spoke with an AT&T customer service person that said Friday delivery is scheduled. For what that's worth.

Glad I checked this forum and discovered the FedEx app! Still says “preparing to ship” on AT&T, but it’s definitely shipped and will be here 11/13! Thank you all for the info!

I actually ordered two... the black/grey twill are all they have in stock now... but also ordered the black/blue twill.
i’m not really a fan that the case has the buttons cut out like that and leaves the side exposed. I saw a really nice coach case leather at best buy and it was the same way. i didn’t care for it

Cool bro! I'm partial to slim cases. I went with the Casekoo Slim Matte in Pacific Blue even though I ordered the Pro Max in Silver. Really like the Pacific Blue color. Case will arrive Friday as well.

is this case like a hard backing or one that can be flexed?
I’m a huge fan of the ones you can’t take and straight up bend it in half like the silicone. if it’s fully hard plastic on the back i like that.
let me know

For those who’ve ordered two phones via AT&T, will the items be shipped together or separately? As I was able to locate the tracking for my package on route.

This is the full hard plastic. I’m with you man, I’d prefer it that way as well. I do not care for the TPU bendy type either. You can go to Amazon and do a search for Casekoo iPhone 12 Pro case and see it has gotten really good ratings with some really good customer reviews.

Two of my three orders popped up on FedEx last Saturday. The status now says FedEx has picked it up. Where’s the third? Att’s site still has “preparing to ship” for all three orders. Anyone actually get an email from att for the tracking number yet?
When I ordered my wife's 12 Pro last month, I got the "shipped" email Thursday morning and we got it on launch day. I'm sure it's the same this go round too. It's been a looooong week waiting.. lol :)
