Likewise for those that ordered from Courts (like me), anyone gotten any delivery schedule?

I called them and they can't give an estimate, The online delivery team will only call u once they have schedule ready. and the CS don't have an estimate of when that will be.

Best way to get an iPhone on launch day in Singapore without paying a markup?

I’m buying it for personal use, not for resale.

When I pre-ordered on the 16th, I initially saw an option to pick it up at Apple MBS on the 23rd (launch day). However, after completing payment, my order suddenly changed to December delivery.

As an Apple fan who has managed to get my new iPhone on launch day every single year (since 3G), this is honestly pretty disappointing.

I’m trying to figure out my best option for this Friday without paying any markup to resellers.

A few questions:

Apple pre-order: How likely is it that Apple will move delivery dates forward significantly? Has anyone experienced this before?

Giant City: Would it be worth heading down to Giant City to try my luck? How early should I arrive to have a realistic chance?

iStudio: Is queuing at iStudio a better option? Does anyone know how early people usually start queuing? Which outlet has the best chance?

Apple Store walk-in: I assume I’d have to queue for more than 48 hours to stand a chance, so I’m not sure if that’s realistic.

Which option would you recommend?

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences from previous launch days, especially from fellow Singapore Apple fans!

Just want to get my phone on launch day at retail price.

Dunno even if have to camp whole day...

I believe they left the note because there is a chance (albeit very low) that someone will cancel their order and it will return to the inventory. They wanna give some hope to those who really want to get their hands on one.

But new stocks won't be coming on Saturday nor will they be coming for a few weeks I think..

Also with the Global supply crunch, I don't see Singapore being prioritised when new phones are produced. It'll likely be for US and China market first.

Hi all, for those who didn't get day 1 and feeling FOMO.

Check Apple store website every morning, not sure of time, but 7-10am is good, after 23rd Oct of cos..

Good luck..

There's actually not much supply crunch.. a lot of countries their delivery dates have shifted 1-2 months earlier for non first batch buyers.. I believe this is just apple's conversative measure to test the market to prevent overproducing else will kena inventory cost issues.. those who think they can flip so much for non 1st day sets are pretty delusional lol..the demand won't be as high as the recent iPhone 17 series due to the cost as well..

Hopefully, Singapore will be next. I was quite misled by Challenger and Harvey Norman. They promised to call regarding my preorder payment, but nothing came of it. When I visited today, I noticed their spreadsheet was filled with other people hp numbers. I even gave them my number back in late September, so I'm not sure why this happened. I've just gone ahead and completed the purchase directly through the Apple website instead, delivery date 23 Jan.....faint Sia

how does that help for those who have ordered...you mean it will drop 1 or 2 unit per day for those Heng Heng one ?

mrfighting27 · Tuesday at 5:04 PM

Hold your delivery order... The physical store version is different stock.. update daily usually.

If available to collect in store, order another one.. then cancel the delivery...

cloudystar · Tuesday at 5:22 PM

The reason why the delivery dates have shifted 1 to 2 months earlier is because of the many cancellations from people who cannot wait 2 or 3 months.

It doesn't mean there's no demand. I think it will be like the 14 Pro post covid supply issue days.

IIRC, 14 Pro Max was going for above retail price until late in Dec that year.
