iPhone XR inventories looking steady for launch day with the exception of some T-Mobile models

If you’re hankering for an iPhone XR, it looks like there’s a good amount of inventory to meet demand, with the exception of certain T-Mobile models.
The handset officially went up for pre-order on Friday, with the first orders slated to arrive to buyers next Friday, October 26th. Over 24 hours later, iPhone XR shipping times are holding steady through Apple’s Online Store with the exception of T-Mobile models.
As of Friday, every color and storage capacity for the iPhone XR remained available for launch day delivery on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. This means that if you order today, you’ll still receive your device on Friday, October 26th.

There might be some issues where T-Mobile customers are concerned. As of Friday, the blue, PRODUCT(RED), and coral models in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB are delayed until November 5th through November 12th.
Additionally, the yellow T-Mobile iPhone XR shipping has slipped to November 15th through November 12th in 64GB and 256GB, while the 128GB model is pushed back a week further to November 12th through November 19th.
Some of these models, however, do show in-store pickup availability for launch day, October 26th, indicating that heading to your local retailer in person might be your best bet if you’d like to get a T-Mobile iPhone XR on launch day.
The T-Mobile iPhone XR units are thought to be selling out faster – and this becoming less available on launch day – given that customers can purchase the T-Mobile through Apple’s website without providing carrier info. Meanwhile, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon all require authentication before purchase.
Analyst Gene Munster noted that “remains optimistic that the XR will be the top-selling iPhone over the next 12-months, given it represents the greatest value.”
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
