Finally got a shipping confirmation email.

Ordered from 2Degrees 26/09 evening, 15 Pro Max 256gb blue (base). It seems to be the only PM model they have no backlog on anymore.

oooh interesting. My 15 Pro order from 26/09/23 via the AirNZ airpoints store is still "Ready to dispatch" (has been since I ordered)

There eta is pretty basic, with just a "Dispatches in 30 days".

Here's hoping I don't have to wait the full 30 days.

I picked up mine from the Apple Store last Sunday (saw that they had stock and went in to pick up).

The family then spend a few hours shuffling their iPhones from one to the other (eg. My 14 went to the daughter, her 12 went to the younger daughter etc).

It is lighter but otherwise very similar to the 14. Over here does support the 5G SA but sadly doesn’t come with mmWave which would have been nice.

I’ve really enjoyed the device so far. The camera is insane coming from the 12.
Also, there are some great videos about the action button and using shortcuts. I would recommend checking that out. You can do some neat things with that.

Which store was this? Didn't realise NZ had an Apple store

Not sure how relevant this is for people waiting for their phones from telco's, but Apple site now shows "7-10 business days" for 15 Pro and "2-3 weeks" for 15 PM.

Straight 15 is now "in stock" and 15 Plus "7-10 business days".

No change in stage on my order via AirNZ Airpoints store yet.

But stock shortage does seem to be coming to an end.

I'm waiting for a white PM and am heading to Australia this week, so popped into the 2D store to ask if it would be here before I left.

Was told they had a shipment yesterday but it was only the blue colour. Was told that mid-Nov is the expected time for my order. Ordered a week after release.

Same here. So disappointing.

Looks like the 15 PM blue is in stock now though.

Ordered 15PM on 19th Oct (in-store) but still no news. 2D has been horrible at providing any updates.

Thinking of cancelling my order but unsure how it will work out as I have traded in my 13PM.

My 15 Pro arrived on friday from Apple, ordered on 4th October.

I have to say, it's very nice - significant speed, battery and camera upgrades compared to the 12 Pro (which my youngest son now has).

Also I have finally settled on a worthwhile case for my needs - the Peak Design one is just great. I used to get through assorted Apple and non-Apple cases at a fair speed but the PD ones are strong, smart, resilient and the magnets are very strong. Whole ecosystem of mounts, MagSafe type wallets etc too that stick properly and don't fall off. The 15 Pro cases had a cutout for the action button (which is a bit rubbish) but they will either ship a replacement with a button, or send on the button kit, plus some credit for their store. I will see how my youngest manages with the one on my old 12 Pro as he's remarkably clumsy (2 smashed screens so far this year. on his old iPhone XS).

May you all be very happy with your purchases too :-)

I’ve been truly enjoying the pro max. To be honest, the action button being set to a shortcut that has a bunch of if statements based off of focus is the best thing. And the battery, camera and screen are incredible coming from the 12

@bendud which colour did you get?

I picked the "Natural Titanium" 15 Pro on 27 Sep from the AirNZ points store, from what I've heard, sounds like they order/ship direct from Apple.

They gave an eta of 30 days, which has come and gone too.

Also @mAYH3M, which colour did you get? The Natural & White Titanium models of PM have bit of a backlog compared to Blue and Black
