Oh wow the first time I’ve seen the Aussies with a pre order thread!

My Pacific Blue 12 Pro 128Gb is hopefully arriving 26/10. I’m in Melbourne and Friday is a public holiday so Monday 26/10 was the first available date Apple offered. So keen! Hopefully my case arrives before hand on Thursday but no guarantees. Aus Post is already struggling and I’m yet to receive an Apple delivery on time this year per Apple’s forecast.

What about you?!

Wondering if a walk in at a physical store might be quicker than these pre order dates?.

I going to do in store, feel I want to see and touch ( colours and sizing), haven’t made up my mind yet, so best option for me.

I got my order in at 5 minutes after the online store opened for me even with constant refreshing on 3 devices, and only managed to get a delivery for 26th (Monday). Still "being prepared for Shipment". I did wonder whether I'll be lucky enough to get it on Friday, Apple do normally deliver early, but am just as happy to get on Monday. In the past the "Shipped" notification hasn't come through until the night before delivery happens, even on launch day, so I've got no clue if it will come early.
Ordered the 128Gb Pacific Blue 12 Pro.
Live just outside Adelaide.

I was able to order through the iPhone app without any problems. I followed a tip that I read on here and set my preferred configuration as a favourite. I was able to get an 8am pick up time slot at my nearest Apple Store this Friday. I chose a 12 Pro 256GB Silver.

Got my order in straight away for a blue 12 pro 256GB for delivery to Canberra from the 26th, then saw they had heaps of time slots for the Apple store pickup on Friday so cancelled and booked that instead. I walked in on Saturday and was able to pick up a clear case very easily. They seem to have plenty of stock of everything in Canberra.

I’m Melb too. I had issues with my first order and wound up cancelling and re-ordering Saturday morning. My MagSafe charger and USB C brick have already shipped apparently, but my phones eta is 4-10 November!

Being in Melb, Victoria sucks at the moment, 100 days of crazy restrictions and counting, definitely not easy on mental health.

I feel for everyone, and hopefully, you get your apple order on time.

Has anyone had any updates at all? My first order was a disaster and even though I placed the order at 11:07pm Friday, it gave me a delivery date of 11-16 November. I phoned Apple the next morning to question it and was advised to cancel the order and place a new one given that the website was showing an estimate for 4-10 November for new orders. I followed the advice but am now thinking it may have been a mistake. My MagSafe charger had a blown out estimate too but appears to have already been shipped..

My phone still says processing. Is everyone else’s at least preparing to ship?

Ordered my iPhone 12 blue 128gb ( ordered at 10.02pm Friday Brisbane time - all saying delivery 23rd ) , plus a MagSafe cover and MagSafe charger.

Delivery today I got the case and charger. iPhone still preparing for shipping as of Wed 10.30am

Noticed the case and charger was labeled postal service and came via the postie on the bike, iPhone is stated as standard postage, so hoping this is a faster courier service.
