Other EU iPhone Air /17/17 Pro/ 17 Max/ Pre-Release, Order And Dispatch Thread

[Ava*]

So, I ordered an iPhone 17 Pro Max Silver, AirPods Pro, and an Apple Watch Ultra for pickup in Germany. The problem is that the iPhone is available from 8:15 a.m., the watch from 10:15 a.m., and the AirPods from 11:15 a.m. Unfortunately, there were no other slots available.



Can I still pick everything up at 8:15 a.m.? Do you have any experience with this?

It would be annoying to only get the iPhone or, God forbid, to have to pick everything up at 11 a.m. 😁

Can you call the store and ask them about their policy? The policy is usually no early pick ups, so picking up everything together at 11 sounds more likely. But I would call them.

I think last year it was no Problem, but I will give them a call!

Two more sleeps! We should be getting the first Air Reviews today. That should be interesting. Also, tracking should appear tomorrow. I’ve been checking my UPS app daily even though I know better 😂
Do you all have your cases ready for Friday? 😎

Only air? I thought all iPhones can be reviewed today 😱

Hm seeing the orange in natural light on those first reviews, I think I will switch to silver. Orange is just too bright and bold for me 😉

Yeah you're right, there's reviews of all of them out there now!
Air still the prettiest of the bunch and the orange... well, I'm still glad I got the silver. 😂 That is really really orange. 🍊
And base 17 looks awesome! Best choice this year I guess.

its going to be hard not judging people with an orange phone. It's not very apple and would clash with everything I own. Me, my clothes, my car, my ego. 😂

 

[Ava*]

Yeah the orange is not for everyone. Looks good in full coverage cases though 😂 And it's not the first time Apple went with orange. You can buy the iMac in orange right now, and it was availabe in orange in 1999, too. But I have to laugh about the fact that people had been asking for more colorful Pro phones for years and Apple was like "Oh you want color? Here have ✨COLOR✨." 😂

Yes… indeed it is very orange…just looked at a few pictures…

I was very ready to go caseless… but might opt for a slim case to cover it… just in case I don’t want a loud orange phone all the time…
But now I am finally exited to check it out for real…

I guess everyone will know for sure from a mile away that we’ll have new phones if we have bought the orange…😂

 

[Ava*]

Yeah, the 🚨orange🚨 is hard to miss 😂 will be easy to spot among the sea of iphone out there.

Still hoping for a pink or red Pro some day 🤞

 

[iToph]

There are still 17 air and several 17 pro models available for pickup on Friday in Germany. Seems like they finally got in charge of their supply chain after all. I’m all in 17 air. Can’t wait to hold it in my hands

any of you have an updated order status? Mine’s still preparing to be shipped.

Same here, but tracking usually starts on Thursday. So get ready to receive 10 shipping notifications from Apple/UPS/DHL Express at once some time tomorrow 😂🤩 Check your UPS My Choice app if you have it. Should be the first to show the package tomorrow.

 

[bier-meister]

Just got my tracking number, delivery with DHL Express

 

[Ava*]

UPS here. It’s happening! 🥳

May the shipping odds be ever in our favor! 🍀 Extra fingers crossed for myself that UPS takes better care of my phone this time - unlike two years ago, where after 7 weeks of waiting, UPS lost my phone just 30 min away from me… 😒

 

[Yuuuki]

Hmm I got nothing so far. 🤔

Edit: got shipping mail from DHL express but no idea if it's the iPhone or the watch. 🤣

Like this is the first time pre-ordering on apple.com , yesterday at 5pm it charged my money and now says preparing to send. Package should arrive 24/9-29/9. Is there any chance for having it tommorow?

I wouldn't count on it.

 

[Yoshi0597]

Also having delivery date 24th September. Paid with Account Balance. Is there a way to check of my ordered phone is tomorrow in Store? On the webpage it only states about the availability starting tomorrow.

 

[C. Robert]

Im excited but worried next year they might even forgo the box and the delivery dude will just throw the phone at me.

 

[FitchvV]

For both AirPods Pro 3 and iPhone 17 Pro Max no tracking yet, still says preparing for shipment (and delivery tomorrow). But I know the shipment/distribution is coming from the Netherlands so not worried.....yet.

Edit: Did get a 'your trade-in process has been started' email just now

*happy dance* 🥳

Yeah shipping notifications can arrive any minute today. From early morning to later at night, and still every package will be on time tomorrow.
