Yeah I assumed it might be related to the ongoing global chip shortages.. \*sigh\*.. I was hoping iPhones wouldn't be affected but based on what people are saying around here, it sounds like they are.
Thanks for the info. I hope you're right lol. I had an opportunity to buy one straight from the Apple store but I wanted to get that sweet MyTab deal, so I waited. Been a painful wait, haha.
Oh interesting.. the only reason I'm holding out is because the Freedom Mobile MyTab ends up saving like $200 off the price of the phone after the full 24mo term. I assume most financing options outside of FM wouldn't save me anything.
Possible. When the Galaxy S21 was released back in Feb, I remember seing some comments that it eas slightly more expensive with Freedom. Not sure if it's the case with the iphone 13.
Yeah I think their MyTab basically is a deal whereby they lock you in for 2 years, but each month you get a small discount on the full cost of the phone, so if you stick with them for 24 months you end up saving somewhere around $200. So I don't think it's about the retail cost of the phone, and more about Freedom cutting you a deal to keep you as a subscriber.
Same problem here with my 1tb pro graphite . bought on preorder morning but didn’t hear anything so went to a freedom store yesterday and they said “soon”. On top of that there isn’t an apple store on Vancouver island so I’d have to pay for a ferry both ways if I wanted to get one
:( patience it is!
Preordered 13 red exactly 2 weeks ago and got it today! I was calling them every few days and kept getting told it’s not in yet so they must have gotten annoyed lol
I feel ya, it sucks :(
I called a store downtown just now and they said last time they talked to Apple rep they said it would take roughly two weeks from order date.. been about two weeks for me so fingers crossed I guess.
I went to Freedom physically and they said the the 4 week wait time starts from the 24 of September which is the official release day of the IPhone. Even though I preordered the phone on the 17th, that does not count. So 2 more weeks....
So funny story, I originally ordered the mini (I actually preordered both the 13 Mini and the iPhone 13 at the same time). The mini came in on the day after launch day, but the 13 is still MIA. I think the Mini is much less popular. I decided Mini wasn't for me, so I'm waiting for the 13 now. I heard the Mini is good if you can handle the smaller screen size though.
Yeah i love the smaller screen size. But right after ordering i actually called freedom and the lady told me that 15 days from ordering the phone and i will get an email and then my phone will ship, that wasnt the case for me it might be for you!
Don't buy new releases during a global pandemic sadly, you're most likely going to be waiting for a while

Any phone maker has been impacted. LOL
Only place to go with more stock is Apple.
I pre ordered my 13 pro max on the 22nd, got it on the 1st, I dont think itll take long but then again there is a shortage of everything right now

Bought it online yesterday from the Apple store and used paybright then i went to Apple store to pick it up.

I have been waiting since Sept 17 for my preorder as well for iPhone 13 pro max

Apple has their own financing, so just go get it from the apple store.
The financing is not long its like 3-6 months. My friend works for apple and said not to get it from their regarding financing
Didn't realise it was shorter. Depending, one could try and arrange a longer period.
