Other Australia/NZ 🇦🇺🇳🇿 - 16/16 Pro/16 Pro Max Orders and Dispatch Thread (2024)

[SeekingGlow]

Don’t think we have one of these for Australia yet.

Who is ordering? What 16 are you going for? And what are you upgrading from?



I think I’m going to go for the 16 Pro Max in White… just tossing up storage, will likely do 512gb.

I’m upgrading from 12PM Pacific Blue. I wish the pro colours were a bit more fun, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted by the Pink or Ultramarine regular 16s

I will most likely order the 16 Pro Max 256 Desert Titanium. However I love the pink of the 16 Plus so I am still torn which one to get. Is it crazy to buy both????

The desperate titanic is too gold for me, I'll get the natural.

That made me giggle

Is this for NZ too? We're usually lumped in with Aus.
My husband is going for the 16 Pro I think in white. He can't decide between Max or regular. We've always gone for the bigger size since the 6 Plus came out, but he's eyeing the 6.3 as a decent size and better in the hand than 6.9. Any thoughts?
I currently have a 15 Plus in pink and I'm being cheeky and upgrading most likely to a 16 plus in Pink. Husband is trying to convince to be get a Pro for the longevity, but I don't need a Pro, and the Pink plus is sooooo nice!

Sure! Have edited the title 😊

I considered that.. I like my current 6.7 size, so 6.9 might be overkill. But when using my husband’s 13 Pro (6.1) I just find it way too small. And the extra battery life in the Pro Max helped seal it for me.

Yeah the battery life is the other big kicker. He plays games a lot so he thrashes the battery. I think he will regret getting the smaller one. He's trying to influence my choice but I'm not influencing his haha.

Got my pre-order in, locked in the 16PM white 512gb. Now to constantly refresh the order status until it arrives 😎

Pre-ordered a 16 Pro black titanium 256GB for delivery on launch day. The store loaded on the iOS app well before Safari on desktop for some reason.

Yeah theres a couple of other posts in the delivery dates slipping article/thread about the Telstra site being absolutely cooked.
I guess all those layoffs might be starting to bite

Got through at 10:09pm, while checking out went from 20th to 25th - 30th timeframe.
Interested to see if I get bumped forward.

Any Aussies hit "preparing to ship" yet?

256gb 16 white just showed up in my aus post app from NSW.

Yes I also see mine in the app. Funny it has delivery tomorrow. I'm sure this will be updated to Friday at some point.

Same (both iPhone 16 Pro and AirPods 4). It's Startrack so you would expect them to arrive at the destination city tomorrow (Thursday 19th), but they must hold them back for delivery on Friday? I have plans tomorrow but wondering if I should cancel just in case...

 

[SeekingGlow]

I can’t see mine in my auspost app yet 😭
But my husband can see his… his also says delivery expected tomorrow.
I haven’t ordered since 2020, but in 2020 it kept saying Thursday delivery but it was delivered ~8am on Friday morning

I’ve never had them delivered earlier than launch day so if you have plans I wouldn’t cancel them.

Mine has just changed to shipped in the app! 🥳

 

[scotttnz]

By the time I got through and ordered at about 12:15am (preorders started at 12 in NZ) delivery was out to 26/9-1/10. I probably could have got it quicker from a local retailer, but waiting another week isn’t going to kill me.
Ordered 16PM 256GB Black Titanium to replace my 12PM

Vodafone preorder shipped!!
