Are backorder dates accurate? Sorry I am new to this but I saw that the Iphone 15 pro max backorder estimated ship date for Black titanium and Natural to be October 3 - October 17. That seems really fast compared to apple’s website. It is a false expected ship date?

It depends.  T-Mobile might have more allocated stock incoming before Apple sold out.  There are so many factors that go into back orders.  It’s essentially just a guess/estimation based on what T-Mobile has been told by Apple with shipping to the T-Mobile distribution hubs factored in.  In some cases, the device might ship directly from the manufacturer to speed up the process.

It all depends. Here's a thread about the same exact IPhone, one is already delivered the other hasn't.

Yeppers. That was my thread above. I ordered mine 29 hours before my wife. I ordered mine on Friday 9/15. My wife ordered hers on Saturday 9/16. She received hers on launch day.  I am still waiting 🫥.  That doesn’t make sense to me 🫠

wasnt yours a different variant than your wifes though? or were they the exact same ones? different variants especially the more popular ones will be sold out fast and then the back order fun begins.

I went into the store to get the iPhone 15 Pro (white / 1tb) on September 23, they didn’t have it in store so they’re shipping it. The estimated delivery window was from Sept 28-Oct 4. It is October 4 already and I’m hoping it will be shipped soon… but it’s not looking promising. We’ll see what happens! I hope you have better luck!

I went into the store and placed an order for iPhone 15 ProMax BT on Sept 24th & were giving me a shipping date of Oct 2nd. So far it’s Oct 4th and still haven’t received any updates as to when it will be shipped. 🙄

Sorry! I was just wondering when posting this thread, because I was unsure about whether to order from apple or tmobile, tmobile has earlier estimated ship dates, but due to other peoples posts showing no updates it’s probably around the same time as apple. So I haven’t decided where to order form

Are they sold out for T-Mobile?  BestBuy has carrier T-Mobile devices since the acquisition of Sprint.

When it comes to iphones since the first iphone comes out.  Apple Fulfills most of their orders first.  For example. They make 1M units on Monday. 50% will go to Apple, and the other 50% gets broken down to other sellers. The shipping dates are estimates, and honestly should be taken with a grain of salt.  Apple could make more on day, and less on another.
