I was told that I would be able to have a iPhone 12 pro max within 3 days and thst the grapthie model was on stock, then chased up later to find out they have no stock available. Is there an actual date on when the iPhone stocks back?

Hi @nmhendry 

 

I ordered my iphone 12 pro max on the 24th nov too and still don’t even have an estimated delivery date! Did you get yours since your post? Today marks 6 weeks wait, when I ordered online was showing 14 days but the operator told me more like 28 days which I accepted. Didn’t think I would still be waiting though! 

@AJ2013  Hello - I went through the pain yesterday of cancelling my order with EE and buying directly from Apple.  They have the make and model I want in stock and I will have my phone on Friday.  Have moved to a SIM only contract with EE as a result.  Took two hours to get sorted mind you.  They even had the temerity of trying to charge me £85 as an early cancellation fee, despite the whole debacle being EE's fault.  Got there in the end though.  It is little wonder telco companies have massive client churn as they do treat people like dirt and they seem to think people are dumb.  One of the people yesterday was insistent that it was COVID causing the stocking issues, when a simple search will tell you that Apple has been having stock problems due to higher demand than expected for the 12 Pro Max and the chip foundries are at capacity making the parts for the phones - it is nothing to do with COVID, but it makes for a convenient excuse.

Hi @nmhendry  Thanks for the information, glad you will be receiving your iphone this week, albeit the hard way. Probably better in the long run though. Yes,  I too have had operators blame covid for the logistic issue of not having the stock but one of them did tell me that Apple didn’t expect such high demand. I’m on a annual upgrade contract but officially still have another 12 month’s minimum so I will just have to wait.
