Other 🇺🇸 USA - Apple.com - iPhone 15/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread
Another mechanical failure delay stuck in China here. My 15PM was supposed to be delivered yesterday but changed to mechanical failure on Wednesday morning and no updates since.
Oddly my wife's iPhone that had the same mechanical failure delay on Wednesday updated yesterday and is out for delivery today.

Mine has been stuck on “clearance in progress” since the 4th. The progress says it has been released by the government agency but no other movement since then. Do you guys know how much longer it should be stuck there?
I got my shipment notification and tracking number this morning.
- iPhone 15 Pro Max 512 GB Blue Ti
- Ordered on apple.com on Sep 20
- Card was charged Oct 5
- Shipping notification and tracking sent Oct 6
- Delivery set for Oct 10
- Original delivery estimate Oct 19-26
you'll probably get an update today! Mine was cleared by the gvt on 10/2 and then there wasn't any movement until 10/4. Even had a "mechanical failure" alert as well which I think is just a front for delays. It went from Zhengzhou > Incheon > Louisville > my local UPS and is about to be out for delivery. It's all by flight, especially if you're not located in or near Louisville.
I wonder how quickly they adjust manufacturing lines to make the needed quantities of specific colors due to demand. Like, natural titanium seems most popular, are they mostly cranking those out now? Logistics is fascinating.
Nice. Seems like the Apple orders come early, and the Verizon orders get pushed back, unfortunately for me I’m in the Verizon camp. Original delivery estimate 10/6, now it’s 10/27
I wonder if there is a delay in orders coming in to Verizon unless they are getting less stock originally estimated? Regardless I'm sorry to hear this. Hopefully your phone comes sooner than later.
Delivery updated to Tuesday 10/10 from the original 17-24 date range. Woohoo.
I ordered on 10/1 and it says Arrives 11/14-21! I hope it won't be that long. I got a 15 PM 256gb in white.
Mine hasn't moved from Nov 13-20 since I ordered it on 9/22. (15PM Natural titanium 512G)
Has anyone else around those dates had their delivery dates moved closer? Or are we all destined to really wait until then?

Anyone else with a phone stuck in customs and hasn't moved since Oct. 4th?
I ended up doing a pick up order for 15 Plus yesterday and will be getting it tonight. I cancelled my order for 15 Pro Max. Every time I order a new iPhone, I can never hold resistance to picking one up unless I preordered for launch date. We’ll see if I like going to the plus from a pro max.
I almost did that last year when I saw the Product (RED) 14 Plus. It was a “sear your eyeballs out of your head” red, and I loved it. Was hoping for a red 15 Pro Max this year.
Hey Gang - So after a missed shipment window on Monday, delayed Customs approval, 2 day mechanical failure delay, finally on a flight to Incheon! Got a surprise notification that my phone shipped through Anchorage, Louisville, to Seattle for a delivery of 10/6!!! Crazy, did not see that coming. Phone is on truck to be delivered. Enjoy!
I have the same issue. At one point I was seeing the expected delivery on 10/06.
Now I see that it cleared customs and that it’s on its way for today but that was from 12:58pm. It is now 5pm says the same thing and supposedly I’m receiving it today by 7. I highly doubt that since it doesn’t even say it’s out for delivery just that it’s on its way for todays date as the delivery date
Yep, it seems doubtful. I don't see any updates on my side. Do keep us
updated please. Also, where are you located?
updated please. Also, where are you located?
I definitely will. Still checking and will be waiting outside until that time just in case. I’m in Miami
I wont get into all the issues I had on launch day with both Apple and AT&T. It was a total nightmare and I almost gave up ordering the damn thing. However, I finally was able to place a successful order on AT&T site on September 26th with an estimated ship date around Oct. 16th-24th. Next day I got an email that it shipped and it was delivered on the 28th. Go figure.
you and I are on the same boat, I first went to Apple store on the 22nd of Sept., was told out of stock, came home, Apple Watch 9 was delivered. I ordered same specs as yours, Nov 13-20 ETA to the Apple store where I'll pick up
As expected, mine didn't show up today. I don't see any updates on tracking yet and probably won't until Tuesday, considering that the weekend is coming and it's a holiday Monday.
