No such luck for me yet.

Looking forward to calling MM customer services and jumping through the linguistic hoops of Stornierung. 😫

They told me on Twitter that they can cancel them there for you as well if you DM them your order details. I'll stay hopeful until tomorrow, but I am very very skeptical we'll be getting these orders anytime close to the 22nd.

That's my plan too. If they don't deliver at least somewhat on time I will cancel my order. In the past I found cancelling stuff from them fairly easy. Hope this time it will be easy as well.
 
I'm the only one who has not been charged yet on my Credit Card? Just the reservation...

I think third-parties had them after the keynote this year/right before pre-orders launched, or at least they knew the quantities they'd be getting. My carrier who says they're available from 22.09 has the in stock/out of stock indicator on their website on for some reason for the pre-orders. It doesn't prevent you from making a pre-order but I can see all colors of the 128GB Pro are out of stock with some in stock for the 256GB variant and all colors of the 128GB regular 15 are still "in stock". The Pros were "in stock" when I pre-ordered, minutes after pre-orders launched so it shouldn't be a bug.

My suspicion is that the rumours about issues with supply chain were true. The extreme throttling of the Apple Store on Friday made it look like the phones sold out over a longer period of time rather than within a few minutes if there'd been no queue system. I don't think Apple couldn't have coped with that amount of traffic. And I'm suspecting a lot of third parties still don't know how many they're getting or even when.

Yes, seems like that for EU order the tracking is only available when the phone left the EU located facility and not all the way from China.

The only thing that is REALLY bad is that shipping the day before launch, for a lot of location (in Italy for example) this mean that we not receive the phone on Sep 22. Apple does that to be sure that the phone are not delivered before Sep 22 (to not break the day one) but in reality my order will not be delivered before Monday or even Tuesday.

I'm in Rome and consistently receive my launch day orders. Are you in a smaller town or an island?

I didn’t even got a reservation yet. I still have my maximal credit Kart limit

Same here. I was wondering if this depends on how the payment was made. I paid with Apple Pay. I remember that in the last years when paying with Apple Pay there also was no reservation on the card and the card didn‘t get charged until the day they shipped the iPhone.

I also paid with Apple Pay. When is your est. delivery date?

You need the Wxxxxxxxxxx number without the last two digits.
Normally there are ten digits after W, but you type only W and the first eight digits.
But you have also to date back the begin date to about the 15th September, so that this timespan should include your initial shipment time.

And you should not make other entries.
When I add my postal code or country as the page wants to know, it will find nothing for me too.

Then it shows mine as in the other screenshot.
But there are no times or stations for the shipping process due to the tracking only by reference.

This not works for me.

Yes, I'm in a small country in the mountains (Frassinoro, Modena). I always have this kind of delays except if I order from Amazon.
 
one question;

will there be seperate stocks for in-person buyers in stores?

because of a tax issue, I can only buy my 15 pro from a specific mediamarkt in a specific city in Germany. So, when I go over there on Friday, will there be stock? or will the pre-orderers be the first ones getting the phones all around the world and after that phyiscal stocks will appear?

When I do that it says “The Consignment reference number field is mandatory”. Guess I’ll just wait till the last minute 🤷‍♂️.

My VAT was removed from the order yesterday (extra step for Business customers), the email informing me of this claims shipment will go out in "1-2 weeks"

Estimate still says Sep 25-Oct 2 and it was pretty accurate last time so fingers crossed I guess!

Honestly I think they would rather capture the sale and deliver later than have a person give up, but who knows..

On a positive note, mine just shipped! Should receive it tomorrow, I believe that's a day before the official launch date.

I get the same error. But like I said, every year my iPhone is being delivered by DHL instead of UPS. So that's why they don't recognize the reference number I think.

They start being "in stock" from September 22 and they will sell you one if they have any left over after the people who pre-ordered get theirs. Won't hurt going in on the 22nd to see, but I suppose since there's less stock of the Pros and shipping times have extended into the future, they may not have any. You might luck out if someone cancels their pre-order or they just ship them enough.

Yeah, just DM'd them myself on TwiX and the response was hardly encouraging...
Hallo, wir versuchen alle Bestellungen ab Verkaufsstart so schnell wie möglich zu bedienen. Dennoch kann sich die Lieferung aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage verzögern.

I hope my November 10-17th date will not move further back 😬 "Versand: 7–8 Wochen" is bad enough :confused:
But watching the unboxing videos, I'm now very happy I changed from the white to the natural titanium version. It's stunning!
