iPhone 15 series: Delivery dates in India delayed
The standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are relatively easily available with a maximum delay of only one to two weeks in India.
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max delivery dates in India have been pushed back to November on the Apple Store online website. On September 15, the iPhone 15 series went up for pre-orders globally, including India.
However, if you try to pre-order the iPhone 15 Pro or the iPhone 15 Pro Max model now, you are likely to face severe delays in deliveries.
The Apple iPhone 15 Pro lineup has introduced a slew of improvements over their respective predecessors. For example, both iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max come with an ISRO-made GPS alternative called NavIC.
Understandably, there's a lot of hype around the highest-end iPhone 15 Pro Max model, which boasts an impressive array of features and high-end specs. For instance, it is the only iPhone 15 series model to get a 5X optical zoom system.
iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max's skyrocketing demand
iPhone 15 Pro Max (Natural Titanium and White Titanium colour options) shows November 2 to November 8 delivery week for all storage variants.
On the other hand, the Titanium Blue and Titanium Black colour options are showing delivery in mid-October. However, the iPhone 15 Pro model will be available as soon as next week, specifically for the higher storage variants and Titanium Blue or Titanium Black colours.
Regrettably, the Natural Titanium and White Titanium colour options will available only by mid or late-October. However, you can still get your hands on a few variants (except iPhone 15 Pro Max) by heading straight to the Apple Store Saket (Delhi) or BKC (Mumbai) on September 22.
Which other models are facing a delay?
According to an X (formerly Twitter) post by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has been delayed by 8 weeks in India. The non-Pro models are expected to be delayed by one to two weeks in the country.

- 8 week delays in India
- 6-7 week delays in China
- 7-8 week delays in the UK
- 6-7 week delays in Canada https://t.co/dkMRpp6Wtw
Despite the delay, most variants might be available for pickup on launch day at physical stores. So, you might get all four devices at Apple-authorised premium resellers in India. It is safe to say this might be the last resort for those looking to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max on the first day of sales.
