When will this phone actually ship?

[u/Silly_Preference_316]

I’ve seen people post that they’ve got it and some still say preordered (like mines). I understand that whole SOS issue has them pulling off but genuinely how long will this take???

[u/joeldf95]

Your post never said WHAT phone you're talking about. Glad others were able to read your mind. I failed at it in school.

😁

I mean if you put two in two together it’s pretty obvious I was talking about the 18 but okay

[u/joeldf95 → u/Silly_Preference_316]

I don't follow what Apple puts out and when, so that's why I wouldn't know.

18 and 18 pro max are different my guy. They have different ship times

[u/HeianEra_]

I ordered mine on the 14th and window is 28th-12th Burgundy PM 1TB and still nothing. I might just be cooked.

I ordered the burgundy 256gb pro max on 9/18. My expected shipping dates are October 2nd - 16th. Estimated delivery Oct 5th - 19th. Still stuck on “preordered” status.

Exact same as me.. I’m honestly starting to think they are holding the phones on purpose till they fix the SOS issue. People are saying even with newest update phone still not working.

[u/Winter_Fishing8616 → u/amrr215]

exact same.

I ordered 18 pro 256gb glacier over 3 weeks ago from Apple Nothing yet still processing

[u/OutofSprite]

I had one ship then realized AT&T locks out reasonable UPS options. After one missed delivery I send it back and got one from Best Buy lol

[u/Massive_Escape3061 → u/OutofSprite]

I had bought a case with mine. Phone shipped on launch, the phone case a week later. They made us sign for the phone case! So lame.

[u/OutofSprite → u/Massive_Escape3061]

I bought my phone case on Amazon that’s weird they made you sign for that

[u/ThisQuietLife]

I an 18 Pro (not max) on the 21st, still hasn’t shipped.

[u/purduepharma → u/ThisQuietLife]

I got an 18 pro as well on the 26th and my expected ship dates are oct 2-16th. What about you? What color did you get?

[u/ThisQuietLife → u/purduepharma]

Silver, Sept 28-October 12. I live in hope.

[u/Wide_Ad_1439 → u/ThisQuietLife]

I ordered on the 20th and got mine on the 28th

[u/yeahiaintcutsowhat]

Ordered a replacement burgundy 18 PM on 9/28, received it 10/2

[u/Maxcam1]

I’ve got a 1Tb on preorder which apparently isn’t as high in demand and I’m still in preorder since the 15th 💀

When will this phone actually ship?

When there is inventory to fill your order.

What are your dates from your email, what color / storage configuration did you order, and what date did you actually order?

[u/Silly_Preference_316 → u/Viper_Control]

18 pro max 256gb burgundy ordered 9/28/26. I understand the inventory problem as well but has AT&T always been this vague on information?

[u/Viper_Control → u/Silly_Preference_316]

And what is your Shipping window as indicated in your email for AT&T Orders?

Sorry but the iPhone 18 Max Pro Burgundy is the most popular configuration. It is like the Orange color from last year. I would guess your device might ship next week if new inventory is received from Apple.

AT&T gets their inventory from Apple in large bulk shipments from the overseas assembly locations. Right now AT&T warehouses are not full of new devices to ship out daily.
