I’m from Sweden and I ordered a 15 Pro Max in Black Titanium (256GB).

Edit: preliminary delivery week 39 (from Tre with home delivery).

Wow… the 256 went pro max went quick! Delivery dates are slipping
And the natural titanium is pretty popular…
 
What a mess this year on Apple.com
First time ever that my Apple order will not be delivered on releaseday. Instead it will be delivered on Monday the 25th. Website came online at 14:20.

I also placed an order at Mediamarkt.nl at 14:05
They say they will deliver it on releaseday September 22 though. Fingers crossed.

iPhone 15 Pro 128GB Natural Titanium.

the pro max are the worst... after around 300 tries and vpn on/off I could order a pro max 512 for 4 October... the 256 pro will come on launch day even it was ordered later
 
No dice here, after i got in Natural Ti 256Gb Pro Max was already on 27 sep - 02 oct. Then i put it in my cart and it went to 02 oct - 09 oct. So i decided not to buy for now. Meanwhile it is on 09 oct -16 oct.
 
I'm in Ireland and ordered the 1TB Pro Max in 'Natural Titanium'. Managed to get it for release day delivery even after the payment was declined and had to be updated...that felt a bit lucky (luck of the Irish 🍀).

Very much looking forward to Portrait Mode Live Photos to capture the kids growing up. That's my number 1 feature - feels like magic but wasn't available in Portrait Mode till now.

In case you live close to an Apple Store and did not make it for launch day, I recommend to check the website occasionally through out the week because last time the Apple Store in Berlin randomly had launch date pick ups available throughout the pre-order week

Germany here - Got nowhere using Apple online (FAST FECKIN FERTIG), so went to Mediamarkt and got the Pro Max 512 Natural Titan (delivery 22.09).

Had to pay the whole sum - was planning on using the interest-free 24-month option at Apple. Bread & water for a month or two :D
Thank you so much for this. My delivery date at Apple Germany was middle of October. Thanks to you I also got one at Mediamarkt. 😍

Mediamarkt/Saturn still showing all variants deliverable on (or before!) release day.

Either their inventory system only updates overnight or they're outright liars. The former would be best :)

The only downside is that you will have to deal with Media Markt customer service after 12 months instead of Apple ;) unless you also get AppleCare+ of course
Fortunately, I've never had issues with their customer service. Quite on the contrary, they keep letting me return a gaming headset every year and hand out a new one every time. I'm part of their member/loyalty/club programme which I don't know the name of. What's more, I will sell the phone next September anyway for the 16 Pro Max. In addition, I also keep my order at Apple open because in the past they more often than not delivered before their promised date. Either I will return or sell one of them.😉

Also they getting restocks regularly. So it makes sense to check for in store pick up in the morning… saved me 1-2 weeks lat year…

you really trust them? I was thinking about that as well but I couldn't choose pickup and had to pay immediately .... im nearly 100% it is wrong.
 
Smoothest pre-order ever (quite contrary to last year) -- used the Apple Store app which started working around 2:05 PM (local time in Munich). Somehow my saved items weren't showing, and I also had to re-enter my address details. But after all that, successfully placed the order at 2:07 PM.

Pro Max, Titanium Blue, 256GB + AppleCare with theft and loss coverage. September 22 delivery.

Could not have asked for a better start to the Oktoberfest weekend. :D

Hope everyone else also managed to get their pre-orders in! :)

I really don't understand how this blocker was working... had in Munich on all devices the "we are finishing up" blocker page.... tried vpn, tried mobile.... and after the app was finally working it was always showing circle of death by clicking "buy".
 
Here in France iPad and iPhone apps took a very very long time to start working . I finally ordered through the web without a glitch . 15 Pro (256) in black

I also successfully preordered an iPhone 15Pro 128gb in Natural Titanium from 3 big 3rd parties shops here. Let's see who's gonna ship it in time(22.09). Unfortunately this year Amazon.de doesnt ship here.

I guess it depends on the location. The other day I went and they had no clue that 7 Plus battery replacements are still available 🙈

been sitting on the sidelines here watching this **** show unfold.
gonna try and get my hands on a pro max 256gb on the 22nd in person - only way i can use a mwst form with my purchase unfortunately.
mediamarkt won't let me pay in person either so that's a no-go.

They always lie. I remember when I pre-ordered my iPad Air 4, it showed in store pick up still on launch day but nothing was actually available or you could select shipping at midnight and it showed delivery today, also a lie. They are not faster than the post 😅
 
I don't know what went wrong this year. I could only enter the app at 14:06 and then it was already too late. Also the website didn't go online until 10 minutes later. Now I have to wait until end of september for my 15 Pro Max natural titanium 256GB.

It's really a shame. I can rember the launch of my 13 Pro Max went much smoother. Store opened exactly on time then and I did get my iPhone on release day.

Anyone ever ordered on Gravis? Any idea when they ship? They don’t have any exact delivery date on any iPhone model
 
I ordered a white 15 Pro from Odido (new TMobile) in the Netherlands. I'm not sure what the availability is, let's see when it ships. I wasn't planning on ordering a new on this year as I have the 14 Pro, but the USB charging got me since I travel a ton, and that means one less cable to forget.
