Gold 16GB Unlocked 5s, still waiting in Zhengzhou.
Here's a pretty interesting article about Apple's logistics. Apparently they buy entire FedEx flights to hold ONLY iPhones and they fit 450,000 iPhones on one plane.

looks like our iPhones are gonna be fellow passengers...got one that's the same as yours (gold, 64 GB) and another space gray one (also, 64 GB) - but both are T-Mobile models
I'm from Boston too!
Mine is also arriving on Wednesday.
You guys are totally #twinning!

I am a Silver ATT iPhone 5S 64 GB!
Tomorrow afternoon... Then Louisville super early and hopefully to UPS early enough for those that live close.
This is pretty much how my batch of phones will be if it follows the same schedule as todays.

That's reassuring. I felt a little left out seeing that mine still shows it not having arrived in Anchorage or Korea yet. I'm getting my shipped to my office so it should be safe. I wonder if I should activate it and restore from iCloud off free Wi-fi
yeah that's kinda how it works, the tracking is also bunched up. For right now your tracking info is getting updated whenever the pallet or bunch of pallets it's with is scanned.
They don't scan each individual package until way later in the process.

Do you have an iPhone 5s?
Go to supportprofile.apple.com to see if you have an iPhone 5s for all of you guys whom believe they don't have 1 yet because it haven't shipped.

That sites not perfect as it has my moms iphone that I bought that hasn't shipped listed, but not mine, thats waiting on a plane in China.
I'm really hoping my phone stays on track for a Wednesday delivery. On Wed., there will be someone home all day but Thursday we'll be in and out.
As fun as this is, I could have picked one up in a store today using the reservation system. When I checked earlier there was a fair amount in stock.
I have yet to see any unlocked T-Mobile versions in stock, so I guess I made the right choice ordering online.
They do it every year. Lesson learned. The Apple store 3 blocks away from me here in NYC says available for pick up. I could have grabbed it on my way home today. Instead I'm tracking flights in Korea.

True, not all models are available but my 64gb grey att is pretty generic I guess. The stores are getting replenished quicker than I anticipated.
I went there and it shows all my iDevices - including the 5s . I ordered SG one but it shows up as a gold one

Oh then I would bet that's what mine is doing too.
