First iPhone 15 Pro Pre-Orders ‘Preparing to Ship’ in Canada

Like clockwork, Apple’s iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro pre-orders are advancing into the ‘Preparing to Ship’ phase.

Apple kicked off iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro pre-orders on Friday, and by late afternoon, some of the first launch day deliveries shifted into the ‘Preparing to Ship’ phase faster than years past.

According to iPhone in Canada reader Nicolas, his iPhone 15 Pro Max in Black Titanium with 256GB of storage, set to be delivered on the September 22 launch day, hit the ‘Preparing to Ship’ phase on Friday afternoon. You can see his screenshot below:

Last year, the first iPhone 14 Pro Max orders hit the ‘Preparing to Ship’ phase on Saturday. Typically, these orders won’t reach the ‘shipped’ stage until sometime on Thursday, the eve of the launch day. By the middle of next week, you should again be able to find your UPS tracking number by looking up your phone number under the ‘reference’ option on the latter’s website.

What I find odd is that if u get your phone delivered it will arrive in October, yet if u pick it up in store u can get it on the 22nd. I get mine on the 22nd delivered.

I tried to have my delivery changed to pick-up but they can’t do it. I think it has to do with only a certain number of devices sent to stores and if you were able to get one of those great, otherwise it’s being shipped to you from the source or whatever. Wish I had thought of it more at the time but after waiting 30 minutes for the store to open, I felt rushed to try to secure an earlier device.

I’ve got the UPS Tracking already and it says the package has arrived Shanghai Facility on Sep.16 (17:15). Interesting that I never get an email from Apple but it just shows up in the UPS App on the iPhone.
Scheduled Delivery on Friday Sep.22 between 14:00 and 18:00.

I wonder if any are coming from India. I am familiar with the China-Anchorage-Louisville-Sioux City (I think) then Canada routing, but would be interested to know what the way is from India.

Mine is from China according UPS Tracking. I was hoping that it’s from India honestly.

The India built models will be for Indian customers for now.

You are correct but very few are exported for now, eventually the entire production will be in India.

If you have UPS My Choice you can see its progress from China. You might be able to search UPS tracking by reference number by expanding the start date to Sept 16. The reference number is your order number minus the last two numbers.

Question to those who had devices delivered to them in previous years: If you’re not home to sign for your item, does UPS hold it and have you pick it up from a UPS store?
