Hello all! For my first post here on the forum, I thought I'd start a thread regarding pre-orders, shipping, and delivery for the iPhone 13 lineup for the Asian market (Oceania included too if you'd like to chime in!) since I haven't seen one for Asia.

I'm in Malaysia, and we don't get to pre-order until 01/10 with delivery starting on 08/10, so I'm getting ahead of myself, but I know pre-orders for some Asian markets (Singapore, India, China, Japan, UAE, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong) have already begun last Friday on 17/09 with deliveries starting 24/09 onwards. I think Turkey is the only market (I might be wrong though) with pre-orders starting 24/09 with deliveries from 01/10.

What are you getting (phone/colour)? What are you coming from? Where are you from?

I'm still in the thinking stage as there's 10 days or so until pre-order starts, but for now, I'll probably be getting the 13 Pro Max 256 GB in Sierra Blue as well as a 13 Pro 1 TB in either Gold or Graphite, the former being my everyday phone and the latter as a photography/vlogging device. I'm used to the form factor of the Pro Max, but it's a little too big for me to use with one hand for vlogging and photos, hence why I'm thinking of the Pro as a secondary device. I'm currently using a 12 Pro Max 256 GB in Silver.

Pre-order started last Friday 01/10 for Malaysia. Pre-ordered the 13 Pro Max 256 GB in Sierra Blue and the 13 Pro 1 TB in Graphite, both I was told I should be able to collect this weekend (08/09 Oct) from the Apple Premium Reseller I pre-ordered it from. I originally wanted to order from Apple direct, but as I was trading in my 12 Pro Max and my 11, I could only do so via the reseller as Apple Malaysia doesn't have the trade-in option online.
