Hello,

I’m really hoping you can help me with a very important question regarding the iPhone 18 Pro Max.

I would like to purchase the iPhone 18 Pro Max, 1TB, in Dark Cherry. However, when I try to place a pre-order for pickup in the Miami area, the estimated availability shows October 7–14.

The problem is that my brother will only be in Miami from September 25 through September 30, and he is the only person I have who can bring the phone to me from the United States.

Is there any way to make sure that the iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB in Dark Cherry will be available for pickup at an Apple Store in Miami during September 25–30? For example, is there a possibility to reserve one for in-store pickup, check upcoming store inventory, or choose a different Apple Store in the Miami area where it may become available earlier?

The Dark Cherry color is very important to me, and I’m not interested in the other colors.

I would really appreciate any advice or solution you can offer, because this is my only opportunity to have someone bring the phone from the U.S.

Thank you so much for your help! 🙏

Sorry, but you cannot change the availability of the device you want to accommodate your brother's travel schedule. You can preorder the phone you want and it will be available when Apple says it will be available. Preorders opened on Friday at 5 AM Pacific. Millions upon millions of people have preordered a phone and Apple delivers orders based on when the order was made.

If you don't live in the US, you really shouldn't buy your phone in the US. Apple's legal iPhone Warranty suggests iPhone warranty "may" be limited to the country of purchase. Here it is for your review --> Legal - iOS Warranty Document Us - Apple. Note the following Restriction:

"IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE, iPAD, APPLE TV, HOMEPOD, AND APPLE VISION PRO SERVICE.

Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, HomePod, and Apple Vision Pro to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

It is ALWASY best to purchase your phone in the country you live and will use it. "

Sorry but you are not asking Apple here. This is a community of end users; we cannot check inventory nor give official or binding answers. Apple does not respond here.

Please contact the store or Apple Support.
