I just checked fedex delivery manager, coming from TN, created at 9:41am on the 16th but weird it’s just showing for me as of right now’s (16 Pro)
I’ve been checking everyday since I pre ordered and I know I checked yesterday. I checked again this afternoon and the FedEx app was showing it moving the previous days I was checking and didn’t see anything. It shows my phone being shipped out Monday and it is just now showing the transit history this evening. I would definitely wait another day. Last year I got tracking info at like 10 at night the night before showing it was delivering on launch day. Sure enough it did! First time is always rough. Second pre order is easier because you know what to expect.

Rats! Mine is not showing at all.
If you pre ordered on the 13th, there is more possibility it’ll still come in on the 20th. You pre ordered on the day it was available. Wait one more day and see what happens! Like I said, my tracking info was late last year and I ordered on a Monday and it still came on release day. Keep checking late into the evening. And it also depends on what model and how early late you ordered. Wait till tomorrow night and see what happens.

The funny part is I’m also like… was it worth it? I’m coming from a 15 Pro 256gb natural, but I’m excited to go black again with 512gb. I like to have extra buffer space in case!

Last year I got the 15 pro max 256 in blue. I got the 16 pro max 512 this time. I just can’t justify a 1tb iPhone in my pocket and a 512 MacBook Pro m3 36gb memory at home. Plus there’s iCloud… ;) This will be my first iPhone in white after having dark colors. I feel like it’s iconic and I’m excited!

Oh, thank you so much! I will check tomorrow afternoon. I ordered when the pre-orders opened, so I am hoping that it does come.

I checked my email from last year. Xfinity sent the "your order is on its way" on 9/21/23 at 8:54 PM. Launch day was 9/22/23. It'll probably come tomorrow night (Thursday). There's still time for you to get it.

Preordered from xfinity on 9/13. No delivery date yet! I hope mine was not left behind:(

Forgot to mention that this is for a iPhone 16 Pro Max Desert Titanium 256 gb!

Thank you! Sounds good! I'll check tomorrow evening, then. I am just surprised that it's not showing up in my FedEd delivery manager at all. I'll try to be patient. LOL!

I checked my email from last year as well. Received on the 21st and got confirmation from Xfinity at 11:02PM (hour before midnight) saying device on the way and it showed up before 5 launch day. You’ll also get the “RETAIL INSTALLMENT CONTRACT” attatched. I’m central time.

Yeah, that does make sense. The last time I pre-ordered anything was my 11 PM. There were no issues whatsoever with that one. I bought my 14 pro in November of 2022 when my son broke my 11. (Autism, long story) Everything was confirmed and on its way in 24 hours for that one.

I got a notification from FedEx that my 16 Pro Max has left the FedEx origin facility. I still haven't gotten an email from Xfinity but I expect that later tonight, just like last year.

I hope all of you start to see movement 🤞 I'm sure that if you got a 9/20 delivery date, you'll be fine.

I upgraded a line to the 16PM 1tb natural titanium on 9/17 at like 7:30 am. Xfinity’s website said 9/20 delivery date.

I got an email to verify my ID right after I submitted my order, which I sent in immediately, and now I’m just stuck waiting.

No updates from Xfinity or FedEx. No life at all in my order. Gotta say I’m pretty worried 😬

I upgraded from the blue titanium 256GB to the natural titanium 256GB.

Don't be worried, last year a colleague preordered and his date was the same as mine. He was worried something was wrong because I was able to get tracking information but his FedEx account showed nothing. Sure enough, he got the Xfinity Mobile "Your order is on its way" email the night before and got his iPhone the next day.

I just got an email from FedEx.

I'm not sure they offered existing customers $800 off with a trade-in last year. I could have sworn it was with a new line. I remember people complaining that current customers weren't getting the usual deal (I could be wrong). Hopefully, we'll know more concrete terms ASAP.
Last year I did an early upgrade of my 14Pro for a 15Pro and rec’d the $800 in credits over 24 mos. Not this year. XM only willing to give me $505 trade for my 15Pro. NO THANKS! I’ve been an XM customer since it launched it’s MVNO but it’s never lived up to expectations (back office and customer service stinks).

I agree. Not to worry. XM has always met launch day delivery at least in my case.

Might be off topic a bit, is there a way to order directly from Apple as I don't see Xfinity as a carrier on Apple Website, better deals on trade in too than from Xfinity.
Been a long time Xfinity(Comcast) customer over 15 years, and it still baffles me they don't take care of EXISTING CUSTOMERS with deals.

Hi y’all, I was getting worried about not receiving a delivery date, and decided to chat with an xfinity rep. She said that iPhones will not start getting delivered until 9/21, but not sure if I believe her since folks have delivery dates. Just wanted to share what I gathered. May try to chat with a different one later to see what they say.

Of course you can order from Apple.

Whoever that was is unfortunately wrong. People WILL be getting them on the 20th. (again, it depends on what model was popular and when you ordered). It’s obvious they are moving and getting shipped.

I had 2 orders. both showing up in Fedex but one shows it moving but the other shows still awaiting pickup.my guess based on previous years is the tracking on the second one is lagging behind.
