14 DAY TRIAL // Apple officially announced the new iPhone 12 generation last week, and last Friday, the company started taking pre-orders for two of the four models.
Customers could thus pre-order the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro, both of which are now expected to ship the next Friday.
The good news is that Apple has already shipped the devices to those who pre-ordered them, so the status for each order has changed from preparing to ship to shipped for the majority of customers in the United States.
At first glance, this is without a doubt good news, as such an early shipping could actually mean that the iPhone 12 might arrive at your door earlier than Friday. And yet, this is highly unlikely, as UPS is expected to ship all Apple orders on Friday, exactly as the Cupertino-based tech giant announced during the official iPhone 12 unveiling.
iPhone 12 is on its way
But the good news is that the iPhone 12 is already on its way to you, so it’s now a certain thing that you should be able to set it up on Friday.
On the other hand, several iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro configurations are already out of stock, so if you pre-order them today, the shipping shouldn’t happen earlier than November. This is the same ETA for the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, both of which are not yet up for pre-order.
In other words, November is going to be a busy month for Apple, as the Cupertino-based tech giant would have to ship all of its new iPhones to customers not only in the United States but also in other large markets across the world.
For now, however, the demand appears to be strong, though no exact figures are available as Apple no longer shares first-weekend iPhone sales stats.
