Pre-orders for Apple’s new iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and super-slim iPhone Air are now open.
We are tracking pre-orders on Apple’s official website in the US, and as more and more people pre-order a new iPhone, we’re seeing delivery estimates shifting back. For certain models, you could be waiting up to an additional month before receiving your new device.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max was the first of the new iPhones to see its delivery estimates pushed back from the original September 19 date.
New pre-orders for all storage sizes of the silver and Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max are now expected to arrive with buyers in October, while the Blue hue is now saying the end of September.
The Sage green iPhone 17 and 1TB, silver iPhone 17 Pro were next to get a date shift, with an updated delivery estimate between September 29 and October 6.
These were quickly followed by the 256GB, Cloud White iPhone Air, which also shifted to the late September, early October estimate.
Pre-orders for the new iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air opened at 5am PT (8am PT) on September 12.
While pre-orders opened today, Apple won’t start shipping its new handsets, and stocking them in stores, until Friday 19 September.
It means if you pre-order today, you’ll have at least a week to wait for your new phone to arrive. And if certain models prove particularly popular, we may see delivery estimates slip into the following weeks.
