Every year, Apple begins selling its new iPhones. In addition, new Apple Watch models and new AirPods Pro are also available. The pre-order phase began a week ago.
Delivery via UPS, DHL Express, and in stores
The new devices are available both at Apple's local stores and from mobile phone providers and retailers. Whether individual devices are also available without pre-ordering depends on the store. It is customary for Apple and the major carrier stores to be supplied first, followed later (or only in smaller quantities) by resellers. Devices that were pre-ordered arrived today via UPS and DHL Express. UPS encountered various difficulties when customers were not personally present: Delivery personnel now require identification before making a delivery. – This is actually understandable given the value of the parcels. Some shipments that would otherwise have ended up with a neighbor or a receptionist may have been returned.
The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are available from today, as well as the Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3 and SE 3 and the AirPods Pro 3. There are also many accessories from Apple and its subsidiary Beats, including batteries, lanyards and various cases. Apple also offers the devices without a mobile phone contract as standard – They can also be purchased on an installment plan. Those who wish to purchase the device with a mobile phone contract, which may involve monthly payments, should contact the respective carrier:

Direct pickup depending on model
Waiting times for iPhones quickly increased after the pre-order phase began. – especially with the standard and Pro models. With the iPhone Air, on the other hand, you can get lucky quite quickly: So there are different variants already delivered until September 23, in Berlin you could even pick up for tomorrow in the Apple store.
If you want a specific model, you can check this on the Apple website and enter your zip code there. For example, if a device is not available in Hanover, it may be available in Frankfurt – or Dresden residents are better served than Berliners. There are currently no discounts available. This will probably take a good six months. With the AirPods Pro 3 (starting from 226 €), you can sometimes save a few euros.
