Are backorder dates accurate?

Are backorder dates accurate? Sorry I am new to this but I saw that the Iphone 15 pro max backorder estimated ship date for Black titanium and Natural to be October 3 - October 17. That seems really fast compared to apple’s website. It is a false expected ship date?

    Yeppers. That was my thread above. I ordered mine 29 hours before my wife. I ordered mine on Friday 9/15. My wife ordered hers on Saturday 9/16. She received hers on launch day.  I am still waiting 🫥.  That doesn’t make sense to me 🫠

    It depends.  T-Mobile might have more allocated stock incoming before Apple sold out.  There are so many factors that go into back orders.  It’s essentially just a guess/estimation based on what T-Mobile has been told by Apple with shipping to the T-Mobile distribution hubs factored in.  In some cases, the device might ship directly from the manufacturer to speed up the process.
