Pre-Order and Shipping Megathread | iPhone 12 & iPhone 12 Pro

Hey /r/Apple!
In an attempt to curb the number of threads about pre-order choices/configurations, shipping statuses, etc, we are asking that all discussion about it remain in here. We are setting the sort of this thread to new so that users receive the latest updates at the top of the thread when they open the comments.
Note: Preorders for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the iPhone 12 Mini is set to start on November 6th. There will be a megathread for those then, for the HomePod Mini, and iPad Air 4.

**Tips:**
* [“FYI, Apple allows you to build your pre-order ahead of time and setup a shortcut in the Apple Store. Therefore, all you have to do is tell Siri to pre-order your iPhone, or create a button shortcut and press/vocalize it at 5:00 AM PDT on October 16th, 2020”](https://old.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/jap6bu/fyi_apple_allows_you_to_build_your_preorder_ahead/)
