I ordered the iPhone 14 Pro space gray color. It is set to arrive between October 18 to October 25.

Has anyone had any luck by speeding it up? Maybe calling Apple or speaking to customer service online?

So everyone who calls gets it faster, those who don't wait?

You see a little flaw in your logic?

Yeah, call them up and tell them you are super super special so you need an earlier delivery.

I think the only way to get it faster is to check supply in store and buy one there, if you are close to a store, and then cancel the online order.

I didn't check my local Apple store. Best Buy did have one but I like buying from Apple directly

Yes, that's the way to get it immediately.
Check Apple Store inventory every morning and when you see the model, storage and color you want - pay for it and either have a courier deliver to you or pick it up at the Apple Store.

Then cancel your online order.

It's worth preordering iPhones in general. I immediately preordered on 09/09 and it was delivered on 20/09. (I've been continuously shooting with it since then Is there a way of speeding up the delivery time on my new iPhone? (37) )

In Finland, we also have weeks-long delivery estimates so people now ordering will receive them quite a bit later.

I've had that problem. I buy them online for in store pickup in those cases. Sometimes I've also bought from my cellular carrier. The Apple store is quite far from me, but I preferred not to wait.

So you have a way to get it earlier but refuse? Okay.

Well, maybe there is a way to get it earlier. Check your local Apple store.

100% use the apple store app to check store pickup stock for your preferred size/color/carrier each night and morning. I've given this advice to two people who both had October dates and they each were able to find a 14 Pro / Pro Max within a couple days locally and then cancel their original orders.

I know you are excited to get your new iPhone, however, it is not possible to speed up delivery unless Apple meets the demand. However, I would suggest checking your local Apple Stores to see if they have any in stock.

You might get lucky and get it delivered earlier. Last year, I ordered my iPhone 13 Pro Max on 11/10/2021 with an estimated delivery date between 12/11/2021 and 19/11/2021. I ended up receiving my phone on 03/11/2021.

Mine was set to be delivered around the last week of October and now it got bumped up a week earlier to the 3rd week of October. In the meantime I’m still checking store inventory.

Check every morning before your local store opens and throughout the day. I saw a purple 14PM 128gb yesterday at my closest store and two other models at a store an hour away.

Yes! Stand outside and wait by the curb, this way it will be faster for the delivery agent to drop it off to you!

There is zero benefit to buying from Apple. Best Buy will not have to check you in to check you in to talk about checking in to buy a product.

Well, you see... The human mind works misteriously.

Reminds me of that bike meme where the guy sticks a stick (?) between the bike spokes and falls down.
