So I just saw on the T-Mobile website that the Pro Max Sierra Blue 256gb is back ordered to potentially as late as November 23rd if you place an order now. So a 2 month back order. They got so many 1 TB Sierra Blue orders they won't even allow anymore orders.

This basically means T-Mobile did not even have enough phones for even 50% of preorders. Thats really sad they were this unprepared.

Figures I ordered the most popular color, and most popular storage option for preorders.

Does anyone with a Pro Max 256GB Sierra Blue have their tracking? If so, what time did you order?

I called the t-mobile store and he said its possible they could have some in store to buy, but they would only be the 256gb. I'm not sure that will be quite enough for me. That will be pushing it. Especially since i want to do a good bit of video recording with it.
Technically not T-Mobile’s fault they didn’t get enough supply. They probably take whatever Apple allows them.

My 256 blue pro max was scanned in by UPS this morning so I’ll have it tomorrow. My order time on Friday morning was 7:56 am eastern.

This may have been answered but I haven't found an answer yet. Hope someone here knows. I have a 12 Pro Max with a physical T-Mobile SIM. I will be getting my 13 Pro tomorrow. Is it possible to just move the SIM to the 13 Pro from the 12 PM and have everything work?

I have read were I can transfer service from my 12PM physical SIM to an eSim in the 13 Pro. Not sure how well that would work. Any advice?

If you ordered the phone from T-Mobile, or you ordered it from Apple and put in your T-Mobile account information at checkout then the eSIM will automatically be activated with your number when you set up the phone and you won’t need to move your physical SIM. If you ordered the phone from Apple without entering your T-Mobile account info then you will need to move your physical SIM or manually activate the eSIM.

I wasn't getting any updates from the T-Mobile site so I DM'd @TMobileHelp on Twitter and they gave me a UPS tracking number. Origin scan today at 4:28am. I ordered a couple of minutes after pre-orders started - Pro Max 256 gray.
 
Got my shipment email just now. Delivery tomorrow. Max 256 graphite.
Wonder why it didn’t show in my mychoice at any point. I’m confused by this. It still doesn’t show up in my ups mychoice

I was charged(pending) on the second day from preorder. Charge hold was remove and funds back to my account yesterday. I would assume they will charge again in a couple of days but right now not charge

reason why i didnt order other color apart only graphic. First i like the industrial stealth look of it. And second it seems that graphite is the most avail always everytime i was getting previous iphone. I figure that preorder have a better chance shilpping graphite than white or gold
 
Give it time. Mine went from only a label created to shipment notification for tomorrow delivery in a matter of minutes this morning.
 
They used to but I believe because of COVID they aren’t doing signatures anymore. You can always do the release through My Choice and let them know they are able to leave it at your door.
So glad I have Amazon Hub at my complex; it’s for any shippers really and eliminates sig and keeps the package locked and not on my doorstep, phew!!!
 
Still no charge , nothing 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

pre order right when it live , as of now , nothing , still showing shipping 09/23-09/26

13 ProMax Gold 128
Me too exact same situation and phone 😑
 
Quick question, those of you who have delivery date of tomorrow, which ups service did you choose ? Next day ? Second day air service ?

2nd day, but it sounds like it doesn’t make a difference. Gonna try to get a refund on the shipping.
