iPhone 17 Pro Max Pre-Order Time & Shipping Dates Revealed
After officially unveiling the iPhone 17 lineup on September 9, Apple has now begun accepting pre-orders for all new models. Customers in major markets can place orders for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and the flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max. Initially, Apple announced that every iPhone 17 model would start shipping on September 19. However, overwhelming demand has already resulted in an iPhone 17 Pro Max pre-order delay, with shipments pushed back into October.
Strong Demand for iPhone 17 Pro Max Models
When Apple first opened its digital store for pre-orders, shipping dates for most models were set to September 19. But within just one hour, the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s estimated delivery dates were pushed back by at least a week. Every configuration of the Pro Max now reflects pre-order delays, highlighting unprecedented demand.

Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max in High Demand
The bold new orange iPhone 17 Pro Max is particularly sought after. Apple’s e-store shows that all four storage options—including the high-end $2,000 2TB version—are facing pre-order delays, with shipping now scheduled for October 6 at the earliest.
Delays Extend to Silver Models Too
Apple has also updated the shipping timelines for silver iPhone 17 Pro Max units. The 512GB and 1TB configurations are now expected to ship between October 6 and October 13. Meanwhile, the 256GB and 2TB versions will take up to 10 days longer than the original September 19 schedule. Interestingly, the blue iPhone 17 Pro Max seems to be the least in demand, as its shipping is only delayed by a week to 10 days.

The ultra-slim iPhone Air, in particular, will be available on the same date across all variants.
