That sucks. They're pro to get around laws and rules, it seems.

Just got a shipped status in the app, with tracking link, but tracking does not work yet. DHL in NL
I’m going to pick up my iPhone at my local Apple Store so nothing very exciting happening right now with my order.
Will probably get an email late this evening or during the night with the details for the pick up.
Last year the email came at 3am or something like that.
Pick up is really convenient but …
I’m kind of missing when every iPhone launch was a big thing at the Apple Store.
Use to go there and wait in line, and then stayed for two or three hours while my new phone was installing all the thing, talking with the Apple people.
It was kind of fun. Everybody was excited.
And my local Apple Store is not a big one so it was manageable (didn’t need to sleep outside the store, being there one hour or so before opening was enough).

Exactly as Apple did with me. Until 2 hours ago it was 16-Sep on Apples site where DHL already displayed 19-Sep. Now also the Apple page shows 19-Sep. Super disappointing as I have several Apple stores near me where I could have picked it up easily tomorrow. Last time that I trusted their "on time" delivery promises for launch day 🙄
Received SMS from Apple, shipment for 14 Pro via UPS and for Watch 8 via DHL - destination Spain.
UPS still doesn't show any updates on their website, UPS My Choice has not been useful for me
Looks like orders will arrive on time tomorrow!
Same for me, received SMS and UPS tracking a few hours ago, destination Italy. UPS still shows nothing, but confirms delivery by tomorrow.

Last year it was the same. When the order is shipped today, it will come tomorrow.
I had this happen to me in the past. I went angry to the office instead of staying home and then had to run back when I got a notification that it's being delivered.
I bought mine in a famous french reseller (FNAC) and I hope tomorrow I get my unit. Can't wait! 
You guys mean DHL might still make it in one day and Monday is just a generic estimate?
Definitely! Why should it work for all of us within one day and not for you?
At least for me everytime Apple shipped via UPS they were on time. DHL was not as reliable so I still have my doubts. But also happy to get a nice surprise tomorrow if that changes later today or tonight
Reliability is another thing. Of course it could be possible that tomorrow your delivery guy has no desire to bring it to you, which often was the case for me with UPS. But I think everyone who got a tracking number until now will usually will get the phone tomorrow.At least for me everytime Apple shipped via UPS they were on time.

Same here, picking up my phone tomorrow. Hope the confirmation comes sooner rather than later.
On the Apple website, it says that my iPhone 14 Pro max will be delivered on 19th September. Today they marked my order as shipped and I got the tracking (DHL).
The weird thing is that based on the tracking the shipment has been created on 12th September, but no updates since then.
Do you think that I will get the phone tomorrow or on 19th as stated on the Apple website?
I'm from Italy (south).

Yes you can arrive there earlier, but normally you will have to wait if there are others which have earlier appointments.
It's often the other way around. You can come later, but I know they don't like people coming before their appointment (they give you time slot to stay organized during launch).
Same for me.
APPLE DISTRIBUTION INTL FG C/O FLEXTRONICS consegna domani 11:00 - 13:00. Opzioni di consegna: ups.com/su/xxxxxxxx. Disattiva ricezione SMS: ups.com/su/xxxxxxxxx
Just got a mail from Apple : my order is ready for pick up tomorrow 😁
Strange that some carriers like telekom
Ship today but Amazon is waiting till tomorrow
