The wallet you ordered is shipping at the same time as your iPhone? Which delivery dates did you get for both? I ordered two iPhone 12 Pros and two wallets the moment the store went live, wallets immediately showed a delivery date of Nov 4-12 while the iPhones had launch day delivery.

never mind. My wallet is coming in November. Apple charged my card twice for some reason lol

In my experience, they will likely not go to Preparing for Shipping until Monday. Then show as shipped as of Wednesday at the earliest.

What they seem to do is ship pallets of the phones to the distribution centers for each country and then ship them individually from there.

some people already have their preparing for shipment and I think shipped already

Ordered an iPhone 12 128GB White, due for delivery October 23rd.

Hopefully UPS isn't late this time.

Tons of Americans are already getting theirs in the preparing to ship status. Wasn’t sure if us Canadians have to wait longer.
 
I ordered 3 minutes after the store went live and got October 23rd shipping date for iPhone 12 Pro 128GB. Also ordered the MagSafe charger and that has shipped as of last night already.
Surprisingly, my store had the phone available for pickup on launch day until about 5PM yesterday..
Just need the leather case now...

Has anyone’s CC gotten charged on their in store pick up order yet.
I don't believe they charge you until you go to pick it up, EDIT - if you are reserving for carrier setup, but they do if you are just outright buying it and leaving.

Nothing on my Visa yet. This is similar to my series 6 Apple Watch though. I didn’t get any pending charges, just the full hit the morning of the pickup day.
 
Do they typically have many pre-orders scheduled for the 15 mins window? Wondering if I need to show up at 7-7:30am for my 8-8:15am window, or if arriving at 7:55 is okay 🤣

For my last watch I showed up at the very start of my time slot and I was gone before the end of my time slot.
 
Got another one of my Amazon ordered cases today! Was a bit thrown off by the “12 Max” on sticker, but same size as my clear Pro case I bought last week.

This makes sense, especially with them being able to put so many more on a pallet. They’re likely shipping pallets of phones to their respective countries where they’ll then be put in individual shipping boxes with UPS.
 
For those of you shipping the phone. Have any of your orders moved to "Preparing to Ship" yet?

Apple Store app shows my 128 blue 12 as “Preparing to ship” already, delivery date Friday 23rd
 
For those who ordered with a carrier - any ideas on time estimates on when the first orders will go out?

Placed mine at 7:57AM EST, with Bell. 128GB Pacific Blue 12 Pro, now Processing
 
Never did a reserve and pick up at a Apple store before...
Simple question, do they charge your CC for reservations? Or is it more like Bestbuy reserve and pick up?
 
My 12 Pro 128 graphite juste move to preparing for shipment scheduled for oct 23rd. Confirmation e-mail received at xx:13. My silicone case ordered at xx:27 moved to shipped Friday afternoon and didn’t move since (label created). Also scheduled for oct 23rd.
