Seems like the people waiting now are for pro max devices. I guess they are the ones that are most popular for all retailers at the moment including apple themselves.
From my limited research and back and forth with ChatGPT. It seems like colours that apple think will be popular are restocked first, that being said Blue seems to be the safe choice with orange being the new out there choice, and silver I don't think has ever been a huge favourite.
That correlates with what I saw on the EE shop earlier yesterday. Where every other colour (all options for storage) said after 28 days, whereas all blue options bar 256 said 14 days.
My other provider where I ordered a 512 Orange PM have confirmed I'll have it by the 4th (they'll have the stock) when I contacted CS he said my original quoted date (26th September) is when id get mine but that's just an automatic message sent when the stock allocation is altered on their end.
EDIT:
That being said my 512 Blue PM order with EE. Hoping they have the same stock allocation dates as my other provider, should be delivered by the 4th (14 days after launch day) or before that. Don't take this as truth. Just wishful thinking.
Ordered the orange one with other provider 13th in the afternoon. Ordered my original EE order on the Sunday early AM but that was cancelled so my blue one from EE was ordered on the 17th near the afternoon.
