Let’s talk iPhone 14/14 Pro and 14 Pro Max pre orders

[JoeW94]

@Denzil2301 Sorry, just realised you'd said it was the purple pro max. Which storage did you order? 

[Dayada]

Anyone here that ordered a iphone 14 pro max deep purple 128gb on 3rd October still waiting for there phone. 

I haven't had a single update since 18 oct saying- Thanks for your order, your delivery is on track and we'll update you closer to the time with a precise date. 

no estimate date of delivery  it's been over 5 weeks

@Dayada @ I ordered an iPhone pro Max 128gb in Deep Purple on October 6th, I've had 2 text updates saying it's on back order but nothing since. It appears that's the model in high demand hence the extra delay. I must admit I'm getting a little impatient now lol 😬

[Dayada]

@JoshRM  lol I think I've lost my patience already lol. on there website it says 2 to 3 weeks hoping it comes before then 

hope you receive yours soon 

[Denzil2301]

I ordered the 256 gb storage 

[JoeW94]

Has anyone been receiving their purple pro max 128gb recently? It seems to be the one that people are waiting longest for. 

I think it's unfair that the website isn't more accurate with the estimated delivery times. This model states 1-2 weeks which clearly isn't true.

Has anyone ordered 14 pro max black 512gb?

[Missylang]

I ordered the 128gb purple Pro max last month, it said 2-3 week wait. Just phoned them as its been that long already to be told I'm looking at another 4-6 weeks. 

Anybody else been told this?! It's a joke now.

Plenty are and there is a reason for that. The iphone delays are down to issue's at Apple's factory in China being closed and now working at a reduced output due to Covid:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63538042

"We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products." - Apple

@Missylang What date did you order yours? I've been told 4-6 weeks from the start, been waiting 3 now. I'm really hoping they don't try and say it's longer as I need it in time for Christmas. 

It is becoming a bit ok a joke now. Yes, there is worldwide delays but they are false advertising on delivery times which shouldn't be allowed.

My order was placed on 12th October and was told 4-6 weeks. That was 4 weeks ago. I was then told the end of November. My status is still on back order which is not at all what I want to see. It's not Skys fault what has happened in China but it's still annoying. 

[JoshRM]

Ordered my Pro Max 128gb in purple on Oct 6th. It's THE in demand model which has been delayed due to covid lockdown in China. These types of delays are unfortunate but you can't blame anyone. Covid in enclosed spaces is lethal so extra spacing is needed hence slower production. It is what it is. I bet wherever you order this model there's a delay, might aswell grit your teeth 😬 be patient and wait. I'm trying but it's hard work lol. Hopefully soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I've honestly had enough I ordered on the 7th of October and it's been over 4 weeks and no sign of the phone coming the phone is still stuck on back order for me Everytime I call them up they tell me something different.

@Ghihdhd 

Don't despair. I ordered the Pro Max 128gb in silver on the 12th October and was told 4-6 weeks. I received an email from Sky at 11pm last night informing me that the phone will be delivered today. Hopefully, you shouldn't have to wait too much longer. 

[Natashayz]

I ordered the IPhone Pro Max 128gb in Silver, I just got a message with a 'we hope to deliver by the 9th December' but that's two weeks after the expected latest delivery the contract said when I ordered it. 
Has anyone got this text and then still recieved their phone quicker? 

I know there's a delay in production because of the lockdown in China factory but I phoned and spoke to someone 4 days ago about the delivery and he said it should be on schedule. 😩

Anyone else ordered this model recently and if so how long did it take to arrive?
