Sorry to derail this thread as the quality of iPhone is a complete off-topic, there are plenty of discussion on the heating and durability of the iPhone 15 pro/max.
Lets continue on when will we be getting the F&F discounts for the Pros :cool:
Agreed. I just want Apple to take my money already. I don't care about the heating issues.

It’s the opposite here in North Carolina, previously it was in stock at so many stores, and now there are no stores within hundreds of miles of me now that have it

Is it possible to order an iPhone on EPP Friends&Family to another country? If, yes so what price is showing up? The currency of the country that you are ordering from (Euro in this case) or currency of the country that you are ordering to?

Yes, when your friend logs in they can choose the store to order from. It can be your countries apple online store.

It should be happening pretty soon. The 3rd wave of preorders was just announced for next Thursday, the 12th, with release date on the 20th. Let’s hope F&F also comes out on the 20th. :)

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone is aware of whether the Friends & Family discount allows for payment to be spread across multiple months, similar to what's mentioned on their website. Or is the Friends & Family discount typically a one-time payment?

Thanks in advance :)
It does not.

That's great! On which platform are these updates usually announced?

I built a stock checker which alerts me to its availability (general Apple Store availability) for the 15PM, and last night was the first time the estimate didn't change. Usually it moves forward by 2-4 days but for the UK it's currently 31 Oct - 7 Nov, so perhaps they're catching up.

Nice interesting use of technology. How do you do that? You have script which crawls the website everday.

The average global delivery lead times for Pro Max is down from 46 days to 35 days.

Thank you for the awesome info! That’s great! I will state it will still take almost a month after you order the device to receive it. They do not wait until it’s in stock to allow F&F. Just for anyone who’s following along who hasn’t done it yet :) I’m thinking about the last week of October to the first week of November we should be able to order. That seems to be the trend the last 4 or so years.
