Same except a 64G Gold ATT.
 
As I pointed out would be likely, the second wave of orders looks to be shipping approximately one week early.

However, gold devices are still constrained. Many gold devices from the 1-3 day group still haven't shipped. If you're in the 7-10 day group, your gold device probably won't be shipped for a while.
 
What gives... Ordered apple.ca at 3:02am EDT and still just "processing".

Maybe I'll wake up in the morning with good news.

We've seen gold moving to preparing for shipping in this group. I think it all depends on size/carrier.

Yeah, that's fair. But in general, the golds seem to be the most constrained by far. Some 1-3 group people are actually having their shipping estimates delayed, which is pretty rare for Apple.

This 1-3 day guy was contacted by Apple about his delay: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/18020863/

Even though my ATT 64g Gold is preparing for shipment? I am in the 7-10 group.
 
Preparing for shipment! And my card is charged.

Edit to clarify: USA order, placed around 10AM eastern time on the day of release. It's a "no contract" unlocked GSM version ordered as T-Mobile (I am on AT&T). My confirmation email says "unlocked" so that doesn't concern me.

No good news yet i too ordered the same
 
Someone said earlier or in another thread that the button becomes unavailable a day or so before it prepares for shipment.

I can't vouch for the validity of this claim but I'm keeping an eye out anyway.

I said this and yes it's true-sane with every apple product I've purchased
 
My unlocked Space Grey iPhone just moved to "preparing for shipment" :D
