I legit don’t understand why it’s not active yet. You can order for in-store pick-up at Best Buy but I only see Pro’s, not Pro Maxes.
 
I just checked… East Coast if you go to the Apple Store app, pretty much every pro max model was available for courier delivery this morning. No in-store slots and shipping would take a month… But every single color was available and almost every size for courier delivery this morning 10:30-12:00pm for nine bucks.

Edit: I just checked for unlocked phones
 
I preordered on preorder day last week and got initial delivery of today but during the week it changed to 28-Sept-3-Oct. :mad:

So a few minutes ago when store availability started populating, I tried to switch to ordering through the Apple Store app on my iPad and then my current iPhone. There was availability at my nearest store but whenever I tried to pay, the app kept saying my phone number was wrong and would fail. Obviously it was overloaded.

So, I just logged into Apple.com from a Windows PC on Microsoft Edge and went through the order process in the browser and it went through just fine.

So this afternoon I should be able to pick up my 14 Max and then I can cancel my online order.

Edit: I am East Coast, ordered Black, Max, 256, unlocked.

Yep, +1 to above.

Just ordered Pro Max, Deep Purple, 512gb unlocked with same-day delivery from Apple.
 
Was able to order for same day delivery in a few hours. Very easy. I had a 27-30 preorder date from last week! I’ll wait til phone is in hand to cancel that one!
 
At 5am PDT, there were in store Apple Store stock availability today for most of the 14 colors.

While I was entering my card, the date slipped to tomorrow (Saturday).

Don't know if I should travel further out....
 
Last year I was able to go to the Apple Store at 6 am and reserve an iPhone 13 Pro Max for pickup later that morning. You should be okay if you do that today since most people tend to preorder now.

This year, I was fortunate enough to preorder last Friday for pickup at Best Buy in a couple of hours.
 
Anyone has tried courier delivery from store? First timer here
I just did that because instore Apple Store pickups were not available for today.

Paid $9 for Courier Delivery today = well worth my time as I don't have to wait for an appointment time nor line.

We'll see if it shows up today.

Isn't it odd that none are available for pickup, but for $9 more it can be delivered to you ?

Sounds like a scam ?

I just look on line the SF Bay Area and you can order phones for pickup today, you just may have to do some driving. Just go to Apple's website to check.
 
Apple Store at my location is completely out of stock on all pro and pro max. It was gone within the 1 st hour since the apple.com showed it was available
 
Apple Hilldale is completely out of stock on all pro and pro max. It was gone within the 1 st hour since the apple.com showed it was available
Pretty sure they ran out of time slots. I noticed they only had Sunday appointments at the start and had pretty much every single config imaginable available at that time.

I'm guessing more time slots will open up overnight for Monday. Kind of ridiculous though - can't even buy a watch band or any type of accessory for in-store pickup right now.

I did find that interesting as well. I ordered mine at 7AM this morning for delivery between 10:30AM and 12:30PM today. 12:30 has came and went and no sign of movement on the device. Oddly enough I went back and ordered case to be delivered to me and that was delivered an hour ago.

Enjoy your new device.

I have an appointment to pick up my phone tomorrow, but I'm going to try today. The app shows that it's ready for pick up. Wish me luck! It's a 40 mile drive there. I guess the worse that can happen is I grab a nice lunch at the mall.
 
I was able to order one this morning right when they came live. I have mine and just finished setting it up. Battery won't go past 86% though. Hoping the update will fix
 
Got a feeling my order from this morning got botched and just sitting in limbo. Was able to place another and I'll pick it up Sunday afternoon.
