As opposed to what? The "truth" that Apple conspired to deny a select population of macrumors forum devotees for the sole purpose of annoying them? Every supply chain can be constrained if the demand for the product overwhelms the supply of the weakest component. This isn't "dumb" or an "excuse", but merely reality. If Apple misses the self-imposed deadline, it will simply reflect an overestimate of production rates vs order rates over the periods in question (random made up example: # of orders between xx:04-09 promised by 5/27, units produced between 5/7-5/21 for the 5/27 deadline). No need to "come up" with anything. Chances are they were conservative in this estimate, hence the countless early deliveries of watches.

Been lurking on this and waiting since I had nothing to add. I figure the charge being added is worth posting now, can't wait for the next steps. I fell victim to having to update some info when ordering, so I fell into the 06 timeStill getting it early, so I'm super happy.

I'll let the current flood of orders be my validation.
Should clear XX:06 orders by tomorrow. XX:07-XX:08, get ready.
XX:09-XX:10, hold tight. Could be close to have shipment this week. Probably Monday at the earliest.
Acct#: 6xxx Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® $431.92 at APL*APPLEO on 05/05/2015 at 12:39 PM ET exceeds the $1.00 transaction amount you've specified.

Funny how after no activity last night or this morning I write off the possibility of anything happening to today. Then I troll these forums, see the posts, check banking account and see I was finally charged! Whew. Never wanted someone to charge me so much before lol.
To those charged and had their status changed: did it happen at once, or some time later?

For me, it swithced sometime between the time I was charged (looked and it still said Proc) and 25 min later (next time I checked and it said Prep for Ship). Now I wonder what day I might get it. hmmmm
