Today's the day that the iPhone 15 series goes on full sale, but if you've not put in an order already, you may be waiting some time for your iPhone to be delivered.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are both facing delays beyond the September 22 release date, with the length of the wait varying by where you order your phone from.
If you've not placed your iPhone 15 order yet, and are wondering just when you can expect your new phone to arrive at your doorstep, we've collected the latest shipping data from Apple's own website along with the three major wireless carriers and Best Buy. We looked at ship dates for each color across all four iPhone 15 models at their default storage sizes. (That's 256GB for the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 128GB for all other models).
As it stands, it looks like only a few Pro models will arrive in your hands before the end of September if you make an iPhone 15 preorder right now. For the most part, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will ship in October, with some models not arriving until November. For the widest variety of options set to arrive as close as possible to launch day, Best Buy's your best bet.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are much easier to come by, with only the pink model of those phones facing consistent delays. We'll blame that one on Barbie-mania.

If you pre-order an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max from Apple, you're looking at a minimum wait of four weeks. And depending on the color, that delay could stretch into November.
All versions of the iPhone 15 Pro are set to ship between October 24 and October 31, regardless of what color you prefer. iPhone 15 Pro Max delays are more significant at Apple — the blue and black editions have the same shipping range as the iPhone 15 Pro models, but the natural and white versions won't ship until November. Specifically, Apple says to expect the natural and white iPhone 15 Pro Max models to ship between November 14 and November 21 if you place an order now.
You'll have better luck with the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. While those devices won't ship until October, the delay is relatively minimal. All colors and configurations of iPhone 15 ship between October 5 and October 10. All iPhone 15 Plus colors will arrive in the same timeframe.

The 128GB iPhone 15 Plus will also arrive this week, no matter the color, but not for larger storage options. You're looking anytime from this week to October 17 for 256GB, or September 25 to October 24 for 512GB.
At least the iPhone 15 Pro could arrive by September 25 if you order the black, blue or natural titanium model — except the 512GB natural which won't arrive until October 2 at the earliest. It's the white version that faces a longer wait, shipping between October 2 - 31.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max could arrive by September 25 if you order a black, blue or natural model with at least 512GB of storage. However 256GB models of all three colors won't be with you until October 2 to October 17. White models have worse delays, with October 17-31 for a 512GB model and November 6-20 for 256GB and 1TB options.
