If you've been waiting for Google to announce its new flagship Pixel models and you're sold on the changes Google's made to the Pixel 6 line, you might want to put in a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro pre-order today. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro officially launch on October 28th and those who placed orders earlier this week should get the device on or before that date. That said, shipping times have already slipped.  We've seen quite a bit of demand for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. And with chip shortages plaguing the industry right now, we could definitely see additional delays plague these devices.  If you're in desperate need of a new device and you've got your heart set on one of these phones, you should consider putting in an order as soon as you can to ensure you avoid a lengthy wait.
