I was hoping for a miracle. Ordered at 4:20a Eastern on the 14th. Apple.com has always said delivery on October 5. Woke up about 5:30 this morning to an email from Apple saying your order had shipped. WooHoo. Went to my order page and it was the lightening cables I had ordered (when ordering, expected delivery was oct 16-23 for the cables). Got ready and headed out the door for work. Drove by the AT&T store and there were only seven people in line. Pull in, hopped in line as number eight. Went to Apple.com and cancelled my order. Called the boss and said I would be a little late this morning. Walked into the AT&T store and picked up a black 32GB iPhone5. It did take the rep to call to their "war room" to reverse my upgrade on the Apple order, but got it figured out in about 15 min. Kudos to AT&T for taking care of me.
Loving it BTW 😀
