haha, guess you will get to test it out and have buyers remorse lol
you end up placing your order with JB? or you going to rock up early on the 13th?
I ordered shortly after midnight from Apple. I was very indecisive on the colour between graphite and pacific blue, so I hesitated with both in my cart. I’ve been trying to decide on the colour since the iPhone announcement and found it hard to decide. I ended up picking the pacific blue as I can always get graphite another time and this could be the only time to get blue.
My 512GB 12 Pro Max in pacific blue delivers on the 13th.
However, due to hesitating, my Baltic blue leather case delivery time altered and will deliver between 17th-19th.
After ordering, my husband decided that he’d get the Max too. He’s upgrading from an iPhone X and so wasn’t sure about getting a Max. He picked graphite 256GB. His delivery date is 29th-24th.
After ordering, I felt relief for having settled on a colour. I hope that doesn’t get undone when I see the iPhone colours in person. I’m using a case though and was set on the Baltic blue leather case either way.

You didn’t miss out on day 1 delivery for cases. They start shipping from the 16th. Also you can pick up all the iPhones even at the moment from 13th-14th November.
Cases can be picked up from today.
Oh, nice. Thank you for that information. So I haven’t lost time with the case delivery.
I had seen that we could order the iPhones for pick up, although we are in regional Victoria, so there wasn’t a guarantee that the border between us and Melbourne would be lifted. We thought it would be and it will, but my husband isn’t desperate to get his delivery on release day and we will be working from home anyway. He’s happy to wait a week extra for it to arrive, so all good. His case arrives at the same time, so that works out well for him.
I’ll be caseless for a few days, so I’ll try to be careful. I got Apple Care though, so I’m covered just in case.
Charge appeared on my credit card tonight, hopefully my order progresses to "preparing to ship" tomorrow!
Just checked my order and the status has also changed to preparing to ship. It’s now time to wave goodbye to iPad mini 4, I am hoping the Max can replace it, as I am sick of charging so many gadgets.
Also at launch day it always a mess, as I can never find the accessories I want. My preferred screen protector is the Moshi ivisor as it has the proper notch cut out, and the Mophie juice pack.

Another user reported getting shipping info for their Pro max delivery on friday in Melb, have not seen any one else report.
Im still in preparing to ship...
From previous years experience - all devices I have received have been overnight/express with TNT delv. to Melb Metro (i am <5km from CBD)
I have only ever gotten shipping or shipped notifications, very late on the thursday night before, and sometimes nothing at all...
This includes 11Pro Max (2019), iPad Pro (2018), Apple watch (2019)
Apple/TNT has never let me down yet on day 1 releases
I have been getting iPhones since the beginning (3G) and I have only had TNT knock at my door several times, it has always been Australia Post Star Trek for me. I have never seen a fastway courier delivering my iPhone.
So which one - Star Trek (klingon division) or TNT? 🤣
Ive only had devices with TNT
Startrack for any cases/accessories etc.
