Where are all you Apple haters when we need you? I was expecting my new iPhone today and just got notified of a 2-3 week delay because “unprecedented demand”

I ordered the day orders open (admittedly evening of) and we were getting excited, planning a dinner and stuff, time to explore the new features …. Now we need to wait?

    US. 17 Pro.

    Preordered the same day orders were opened and the original estimate was for delivery today. I just got the delay notification this morning but looking online it seems widespread

    Anyone else seeing this?

      I also ordered a 17 Pro right when orders opened a long with a 17 for my wife. Both were supposed to come today. UPS showed up and dropped just one box, it was my wife’s phone. Tracking now says it will be delivered on Monday. The tracking says it was on the truck so I’m guessing it got mis-scanned at some point and ended up on the wrong truck. More than a little peeved that they won’t deliver it tomorrow though and I need to wait for the next week day (I also go into the office on Mondays and my wife will be at a work event so it’s going to just sit on our porch all day until I get home).

      For what it’s worth, this was not my experience.

      I ordered the Pro on Saturday last week, and it arrived today. I’m typing on it now, actually.

      Sorry your shipment got so boned.

        At least I got my new watch on opening day! It’s amazing how much difference 2mm larger makes.

        I use my watch as an alarm clock and my old one was starting to have problems lasting all day and through the night so I at least needed a new battery. However that was 5 generations back so I replaced For the new health sensors and crash detection

        Cool, “find my iPhone”? Did I miss when that came to the watch?
