bought the iphone 5s (16GB Gold) for my wife on Sept 26th and I'm still seeing a processing status. A few days later, I broke down and bought myself one too 9/29, (16GB Space Grey) and now they are both in processing limbo.

Phones are with AT&T so not sure if phone carriers have any reason for the delay but I keep checking everyday. Fingers crossed :)

Just ordered 16G, Gold 5S through Verizon :D

On the site it said all phones would ship by 10/21. The email I got said 11/11. So we'll see.

Hmm... just noticed this too.. I looked this morning and saw the damn "October" shipping date but noticed that it now says... "preparing for shipment" and "not eligible to cancel or return"

which must me its too far along in the process to cancel the order and is probably being handled by the shipping departments right now?

Btw... i ordered mine Sept. 21st... forget what time..

32gb Space Gray Verizon

We got the same version, although mine isn't a carrier model as I just ordered it factory unlocked from Apple.com Hong Kong directly (which is good as now I don't have to add another 2 years to my contract!!!).

I'm guess what "Preparing for Shipment" means is that they went to the room where they keep the phones and picked it up, ready to put in a box and out the door. One would think it wouldn't take too long, but who knows really...

The reason I said 02:00 is I remember us having a T-Storm around 01:30 Central Daylight Time (Chicago Area) so I got my Time Zones all mixed up. Boy do I feel bad for those people who stood in line here in the rain.

My 32GB Space Grey just shipped! Ordered roughly 10 minutes after online sales opened in the Hong Kong online store.

Should be delivered on the 9th :D

Ordered a 16gb Space Grey 5s & Product Red case last evening.

Case is preparing for shipment and should arrive next Friday.

As for the iPhone... fingers crossed it will ship sooner rather than later.

Oh the anticipation...

:cool:
