Still haven’t gotten the most important person in your life a Christmas gift? Great news. Right before the holidays, Apple has dropped the ship times on several popular items — including the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Retina iMac — so that if you order them now, they’ll be on your doorstep in time for Christmas.

As of right now, Apple is showing one-day ship times on most iPhone 6 Plus models. The iPhone 6 Plus in both 16GB and 64GB models will ship in just a day in all three colors on all major U.S. carriers: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile.

Want a smaller iPhone 6? Sorry, that will take a little longer, but you still might get it before Christmas: All models now show one- to three-day ship times. But here’s the good news: If you want to pick one up in-store, they’re almost universally available, depending upon location, for a walk-in. Just reserve one.

As for the Retina iMac? They’re now shown as “In Stock” for base configurations, meaning they ship immediately. Now that would be a heck of a gift to find under the Christmas tree, don’t you think?
