So, I was late to the game because my wife wouldn't let me order until October 15th. I ordered a 13 Pro Max in Graphite and enrolled in the iPhone Upgrade Program. I had a delivery window of November 15-22 and this last Friday (11/5) my order status updated to "Preparing to Ship" and my card had a charge. Fast forward 5 days and the charge, which is just the sales tax, not sales tax and first payment, is still processing with my bank and hasn't cleared and my order status hasn't changed. UPS My Choice doesn't show anything incoming either. Anyone have something like this happen or when should I be worried?

I'm in the same boat except my window is Nov 11-18. Been preparing to ship for an entire week. Interest charge hold has dropped off my Apple Card (I'm in iUP).

That's doesn't seem good. If it hits the one week mark for me without movement, I'm going to call Apple and ask what's up. I keep hoping I'm going to get a notification from UPS My Choice that I've got a package on the way even if Apple doesn't update my order status, but they've got nothing for me.

I woke up this morning with a shipment from Apple in MyChoice. It had a package as label created in Lebanon, TN with a delivery date for tomorrow. A couple hours later I got the notifications from Apple that my phone had shipped and they charged my card for the first payment (they had already held the tax last week). Looks like they shipped my phone stateside in bulk before specifically shipping it to me, so I didn't get to track it from China like everyone else and it was stuck in Preparing to Ship for 7 days while it made its way here.

Does anyone know what the current order to delivery time from apple.com is for an iPhone 13 Mini?

Home delivery is showing about 10-12 days while all the stores seem to have them available same day or next day. So, is it really taking 10+ days for delivery?
 
Only issue with my 13 pro max lense didn’t notice it before but after I dropped my phone in case on wooden floor in my house I notice it could it be the way the phone is made ?

I don’t want to replace since the camera is working fine

I think its fine. I noticed that on all demo units at the store. It’s probably was there before you dropped it. One of my friend has it too and he just got it and not dropped.
 
9to5Mac has posted a good article for all the holiday buyers. Worth checking it out :) enjoy!

It looks like rumors have been kicked off for iPhone 14. 2022 will be a great year to upgrade to a newer iPhone.

Ordered 13 Pro Nov 11, still no phone, still "out for delivery". If I don't see it in a week I will reverse the charges on my credit card and stick with my 11 Pro until Apple can get its crap together on their supply chain.
