Preorder Insights on the iPhone 16 Series
Apple's iPhone 16 preorders launched globally, and the rush is on! The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models are facing significant preorder demand, resulting in lengthy shipping delays.
What's Causing the Delays?
- The iPhone 16 Pro Max sold out rapidly, with stock vanishing just half an hour after preorders began.
- All color options for the Pro Max are currently unavailable for September 20 delivery.
- Apple has reported delays averaging 7-10 days and even up to 3-4 weeks for certain configurations.
Strategies If You're Late to Preorder
- Check for in-store pickup options; many Apple retail locations will have limited stock available for immediate pickup.
- Visit your local Apple store and see if you can score your desired iPhone 16 in person.
- Contact your carrier or third-party retailers for possible September 20 delivery options.
As excitement builds around Apple's latest models, if you're late on the preorder, you can still snag a non-Pro model for release day. The closer you are to an Apple retail location, the better your chances are of getting your preferred device.
