For those who made iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus pre-orders in Canada on Friday, many orders have moved into the next ‘Preparing to Ship’ phase, getting ready for the launch on September 22:

This is how Apple explains this phase of the order process:

Preparing to Ship: Your order is being prepared for shipment.
We’re completing some final details before we ship your order. As soon as it ships, we’ll email you the delivery information. At this point, you can no longer make changes to the order.

Some pre-orders in Canada are being handled by FedEx with labels already being created for Sept. 22 delivery. One of the easiest ways to track your package is to use Deliveries for iOS or Mac, punch in your order number, select ‘Apple’ and watch as you get detailed alerts, which can come quicker than Apple’s notifications.

As of writing, numerous iPhone 8 configurations are still available for launch day, but only the iPhone 8 Plus 64GB in Silver is showing as available on Friday.

The models which have sold out their initial launch day supply, are the following:

  • iPhone 8 in 64GB/256GB in Gold: 1-2 weeks
  • iPhone 8 Plus in 256GB in Silver: 1-2 weeks
  • iPhone 8 Plus in 64GB/256GB in Gold: 1-2 weeks
  • iPhone 8 Plus in 64GB/256GB in Space Grey: 1-2 weeks

If you can’t wait at home for delivery, this year Apple Canada has brought back their Reserve and Pickup system.

Apple Watch Series 3 and Apple TV 4K pre-orders are also set to deliver by Friday, September 22 as well.
