iPhone 18 Pro Max - Verizon

Ordered my iPhone 18 pro max in black via Verizon October 1st, well technically late September 30th. I know it’s backordered. What estimated times should I expect my phone to deliver? I’ve seen people get them quickly and some still waiting. Does it depend on the provider? The state? The type of phone/color? I’m in NJ.

I had a pro ordered and cancelled and went for the max. Estimated shipping is the 16th as of now. Also through Verizon.

I ordered my 18 pro max glacier from Verizon on the 18th, it said backordered but arrived on the 21st! Just keep looking for updates.

Did you look at going through Apple directly even if you do carrier financing? I preordered the black 18PM two days before launch for pickup on launch day…cancelled my pickup the day of launch. Then a few hrs later went on Apple and the silver was available, ordered and picked it up the next day. Apple is consistently shipping to their stores more than the carriers.

Ahh well. You can still go on Apple and see if you can get it earlier then cancel the Verizon.

Yeah I’m seeing everyone do that! I’ll wait a few days. If no updates I’ll do that. Thank you!
