Yeah, I’m basically in the same boat for everything you said in terms of past and this time around.

Same happened to me with a PB Pro - ended up getting $100 bill credit as a result. Cancelled my pre-order and got one at apple.
For those that like the Graphite color, the dates are bumping up in spurts. Keep an eye out. The 256 was 11/17-12/01. Last night they were showing 11/2-11/4. I ordered one. Date reverted back to 11/17-12/01 after processing. Then this morning it said 11/3-11/5. Agent confirmed my device was ready to ship. The 512 graphite is doing the same. Showing shipping as early as 11/6-11/9 in spurts. Annoying to watch, but it’s great if you manage to land the earlier date.
Didn't go through the thread entirely, but I had a pre order for a silver 12 pro (256gb) that was ordered on launch day. The initial shipping time frame was 10/24-11/02. On 11/02my card was charged, the shipping then updated to 11/03-11/05. I checked on 11/03, today, (hoping to get confirmation that it shipped) to find a new estimated shipping window of 11/27 - 12/11.
I called T-mobile where they confirmed the new shipping date is accurate. I cancelled the pre order because a lot of people are getting their phones by chance at the Apple store. A friend of mine works there and says that they typically get replenished daily in small amounts.
As for T-Mobile, they told me the intiial "Estimated Ship Date" essentially means that IF they can allocate one for you within that time frame, that they'll send it. In my case, they couldn't find one to "allocate" for me, so they put me into a new shipping window where they'll try again. Have to say it's the first time that I'm a little ticked off. It seems like it's a random grab bag of who gets one, and the shipping estimates aren't guarantees.
If anyone out there is still considering "pre-ordering" or waiting to get in line for the next replenishment of stock, I'd highly advise trying your local Apple store instead. As for T-Mobile, my local store said they aren't getting any in stock for first come first serve anytime soon.

My phone was delivered about half an hour ago. Currently transferring my data from my XS Max. 5G is on (not sure of speeds yet but I'm in NYC). I didn't receive any return label stuff in the box but i can print it out from my account. I believe anyone who didn't receive it in the box can do the same.
Well I ordered my 12 Pro 128 graphite in the store on 10/24. Just got charged today estimated was 11/10 - 11/16. Just changed to 11/3 - 11/5.
Lies it changed to now
PartiallySAPBackOrder
with an estimated of 11/10 - 11/24.
sigh

For those that are contemplating ordering now, or hoping for an update, here are the devices in color and capacity that are showing some sort of November movement as of 5 minutes ago. T-Mobile’s dates are literally fluctuating on the hour. I went from 11/17-12/01 to 10/31-11/02 to 11/20-12/04 to 11/2-11/04 and finally 11/03-11/05.
There were times that I’d have a confirmation for 11/02 and then receive an email for 11/17-12/01. i just kept canceling and waiting for the dates to change again. 611 confirmed my device is about to ship. It may have helped that a supervisor said she’d put me on an expedited list. All of that to say just keep checking those dates.

If you got charged and it has the PartiallySAB it should ship today or tomorrow. I did a iMessage chat with them and he didn’t have tracking but their system shows my ship date is 11/3-11/5.
I guess they got a big shipment in.
That's what I did when my 12 Pro 256 Silver day 1 pre-order wasn't progressing at all.. saw the 512 'in stock', and placed the order online followed by chatting with CS ( thru the TMO App ) to cancel the first one! Got 'Next Day Saver' shipping at no charge and had the device 3 days later ( because of the weekend )
So, yeah.. keep an eye on the stock levels that indeed fluctuate frequently!
Yeah, same with me, didn’t get a box. I did what you did and mailed off my old iPhone.
Just checked my 128 graphite. Showing shipped in the app. My UPS shows it with a tracking number
I think I'm going to order my 12 Pro Max through Apple and do the trade-in with them. I want to do the trade-in offer with T-mobile, they are offering more for my XS Max but I don't want to do the whole 30-month contract thing with them. I tend to upgrade every year or every other year. For me, it just doesn't make sense for my case.
I spoke with a store manager yesterday, and I was told that they are announcing their deals for the Mini and Pro Max on Thursday.

Graphite 128gb says in stock currently on Tmo website. I’m waiting for my Pacific Blue, but if I didn’t care I’d jump on it!
