Greetings from Switzerland*! iPhone 15 Pro 512 GB on its way.


* Not in the EU, technically speaking, but we're part of Schengen zone and entertain friendly relationships with our fellow EU neighbors. 😁

Although my order still says Delivery September 25th the status did went to Preparing for Shipment yesterday.

So could that mean I can expect it on releaseday the 22nd?

Same with my 15 Pro! I placed my order at 2:05 I think, it says it's gonna be here on Monday 25th but also moved to 'Preparing to ship' yesterday.

I remember a few years ago I was ordering my MacBook and it arrived 2 weeks before the delivery date on the website, so Im really hoping our phones will come on release day

I finally got one after deciding to wait for better options because the date already slipped 3 weeks after i got into the store.

This morning i have checked a few times and suddenly there was a pickup available for the 256GB PM Natural. I need to travel an hour though to get to the store.

I really hope so. I pre-order the iPhone every year and every year I get it on releaseday. this is the first time I don’t have a releaseday deliverydate due to the Apple Store disaster yesterday.
But this status update does give me hope I still receive it this Friday. Fingers crossed.

Sadly in Latvia with no official stores, and no proper resellers, preordering starts only on 22nd september. Gonna be a looong wait but wallet is ready and two phones are planned to be obtained on the spot

You can preorder from Amazon.de
There is no AppleStore either in Romania, but amazon.de is a great solution. They deliver within EU.

For me it doesnt offer any pro max, and the pro model only 512 and 1tb options.
+ the biggest concern when ordering from Amazon - after one year, Amazon would be responsible for repairs if anything breaks on its own. (my friend had his phone just simply have no 4g, no 5g. reinstalled, nothing changed. he was given a new phone)

Also, If i want to pay it with monthly payments, Amazon sadly doesnt offer that.

What’s the status of your orders guys?

My 15PM for release day pickup has advanced to Processing

But the 15 Plus of my wife, for release day delivery, hasn’t advanced to Preparing to ship yet.

And my 15 Pro white 256GB is finally on its way to Germany with UPS.

 

[Yuuuki]

I did order my iPhone Plus at my phone provider in Germany and im very sure ill not see the phone to release. Maybe a week later or even much later....

So fast! Omg! Did you order via the Apple Store? But good for you

Yes, at about 2:03 pm.
So only a few minutes after the store has been opened.
And at about 2:06 pm the server issues began because of the high demand.

Well this has been a ********.... Congrats to everyone who got to place an order for a release day iPhone! I'll cheer for you!

Me, I got so many errors, I stopped couting. Actually got to place an order but got "Technical Error"s every time I tried to process the payment. That went on for hours until my order got cancelled, because my payment couldn't get through. So I placed another order this morning, this time everything went smoothly, got a confirmation about the payment but Apple still says they are waiting for my payment and my order is still on hold. Whelp. First time I won't be receiving an iPhone on release day (current estimate would be November 10.-17th.). If this second order gets cancelled as well I think I'll just give up and wait until next year 😭

Yeah this year Apple either dropped the ball on the infrastructure or they got way more traffic than they expected

I ordered the 12 at launch and everything went smoothly, this time around there was 15 whole minutes of the page still locking me out with the “we’re almost done” page or refusing to load

I got lucky, but for many others issues persisted till they couldn’t get an order from the first batch

 

[Yptcn]

I ordered through the web , no problem there after trying many times on the app on iPhone and iPad . They finally started to work after about 20mn but I was lucky to have placed my order before that .

Initially I ordered Pro Max Blue 256GB. I love navy blue in every products. But finally I cancelled the order and did the same in natural titanium. I think it’s the moment to try another new experiences with this new color as it looks incredible. Estimated delivery date on Nov. patience

 

[maci96]

I ordered mine at 14:25, couldn’t get in the store earlier and my delivery date says 25.-27 sep. still no „preparing for delivery“ status 😒 ordered the pro max white 256gb

I’m the same, ordered in the same timeframe and got 25-27, still no prep to ship. Still a good date, and I’m sure they’ll deliver.

 

[contacos]

Was surprisingly charged earlier today. I thought in store pick up is paid when u pick it up?

 

[Ava*]

Update from me: The payment for the second order finally went through. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Ordering again also gave me the chance to change my color choice from white to natural. 😄 And now I have a lot of time to watch unboxing videos and choose the right case color for it 😂🫠

The phones will come from china… my ip15 pro is on “preparing for shipment” since saturday.
my ip15 pro max is unfortunately still on 4. october.

 

[Yptcn]

Usually for Europe we will not get any notifications before they are shipped , so that's not before wednesday evening or even thursday . They are usually shipped from the Netherlands .
Who knows , it might be different this year 🤷🏻‍♀️

 

[slplss]

It concerns me a little why they haven’t charged me yet for the 25-27 Sep delivery date when some folks got charged for October date.
