The tracking will be coming online as the good packing elves are printing out the labels for the packages. Be patient
I have watches and phones incoming, all preparing to ship, no tracking yet. But it can come any time during today 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, still 25-30th and not preparing for shipping yet.
Guess we need to wait until next week.
Will pick up a surprise 16 for my wife on friday, so at least one new phone on release day.
Ordered within a few min after they went online and sure it said 20th.
But the mail after already was on 25-30th.
I am getting a bit worried. I haven’t got any tracking details yet and Apple Store app says it is still preparing for shipping with delivery date set for tomorrow. Is that normal? I am based in Switzerland.
They mark it as shipped when it arrives in the destination country and will be express delivered.
Mine also hasn't shipped (Germany) but I'm sure we will get our devices tomorrow.
My case was ordered Wednesday evening and delivered by DHL Friday. I only received a notification that it had been shipped along with a tracking number Thursday afternoon. No worries it will get to you in time.
Sometimes the shipping info arrived in the evening (post 20:00 / 8pm) from the Netherlands, and the package still arrived in the morning. Inside the EU, packages are moving rapidly during the night, I would not worry about shipping notifications before, say, midnight
I’ve ordered a silicone case and an iPhone 16 Pro. Case was set to arrive on 18th and i received it on 17th. Shipping info for the case arrived on 16th before lunch. I was hoping to receive shipping info for the phone today, so I could maybe receive tomorrow, but order says it will arrive on 23rd. Still hoping though…
I’m located in Austria and case came from Czech Republic.

At least yours is “preparing” for shipping. Mine hasn’t even moved to that phase yet.
All my Apple orders come from Czechia currentlySometimes the shipping info arrived in the evening (post 20:00 / 8pm) from the Netherlands, and the package still arrived in the morning.

Sorry to hear that. The tracking experience in Europe is really inconsistent
Our iPhone 16 Pro cases were shipped from Eindhoven (the usual Apple place) last week using DHL.
At least one Apple Watch order just shipped from Czechia using UPS.
Probably Apple is using several places for distribution and various delivery companies at the same time.

Same here. Ordered 1TB 16 Pro Max right after the launch. Still got 25-30 Sep as delivery dates. Received the case and adapter 30W on Sept 17th. I was expecting 20th but after reading all of your comments, it looks like only few can receive on launch day while rest have to wait over a week.
Interesting my 16 Pro Apple cases came also from Czechia 😅 but also with UPS not DHL
