Apple sees iPhone 16 Pro Max shipping date slip just minutes start of preorders

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max comes in four stunning finishes: black titanium, natural titanium, white titanium, and desert titanium.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max initially had a September 20th shipping date, but high preorder demand quickly pushed it back a week.

William Gallagher for AppleInsider:

As preorders opened around the world, the shipping dates for all iPhone 16 models plus the were listed as being on September 20. That’s the date Apple announced shipping would begin, but within 18 minutes, the site was reporting dates slipping into the following week.

It appears that natural titanium was only last year’s fashion favorite, because both the entry level 256GB and high end 1TB configurations in that color remained available for shipping on September 20 for around ten minutes longer than the others.

Dates are changing rapidly, but with those first 18 minutes, the 1TB desert titanium iPhone 16 Pro Max was showing as shipping in 5-7 days. The white and black 1TB editions went immediately to 7-10 days.

MacDailyNews Take: When you spend circa $800-$1,000 for an iPhone every few years, you might as well spring for the flagship and get all of the benefits that only iPhone offers.
