Ordered through apple app on my iPhone 4 at 430 am central Texas time on the 14th. Got the AT&T 64 G black. Says preparing for shipment cannot cancel. 21 del date
 
Does anyone have a Verizon iPhone 5 "prepared for shipment" ?

No. Verizon orders will not see shipping notices until next week, Tuesday at the earliest. Since they are going to a central hub and then out the customers but the tracking info will not go out until phones are already in the states.
 
Mine still says processing. Order placed 2:33 AM central time, 64 gb white for Sprint. Was hoping the status would change overnight. Still says delivery 9/21 though.
 
Ok, my shipping changed from Standard shipping to Holiday shipping and still says Processing Items. Confirmation email sent at 2:08am CST 14-Sep-12. Can someone tell me what "Holiday Shipping" means?:confused:

It's kinda express delivery with extra priority to make sure that you'll hold your iPhone on 21/9 in your hands. Probably you live in a rural area.

Hadn't it already said it slipped to two weeks shipping at that point? I ordered the exact same phone about five minutes earlier than that and have a delivery of Oct 5th. If this is true, it gives me hope it'll arrive a lot sooner than then and possibly on Friday.
 
I preordered mine from verizon but my delivery date is the 28th:(. If they havent charged my card I might cancel and just go to verizon on launch date so I can have it on the 21th.

Will they actually have any phones on launch day. Or will they just be taking orders?

anyway if they do you might need to get there early before they sell out.
 
Anyone from Australia here ,

What's the delivery date?

Mine says 21/9-27/9 and still processing .

I was the very early ones to order before time actually ordered 2 minutes before from the App.
 
Ordered mine last night. 32 GB. Delivery Oct 10th-16th. That is ok by me. Acts as a little security buffer for me in case there are problems that arise with this phone in the first week or two, allowing me to cancel before shipment.
 
Mine's awaiting action.....I had a PO box, which I promptly called and changed. Then I got an email saying they can't ship to a PO box, I reminded them that I had already called and changed it, and the order showed the correct address already. Now again, it says the correct address but still awaiting action. When I called, the Apple rep said it would not delay my shipping. Starting to worry about that.
 
Used Apple Store app. Started order at 11:58pm PT, finished at 12:01am PT.

32GB Black/Slate on AT&T, preparing for shipment and delivers 9/21.

I don't think it have anything to do with Rural area.

my one order which is preparing to ship right now has Standard shipment and
my second order which is still processing has holiday shipment right now

Both are coming to same address in my City and UPS and Fedex hubs are right next door to my home...

But i hope holiday shipment means express shipment.
 
I just got off the phone with customer service. They told me no one who ordered online or over the phone will be getting their phones on the 21st. Because of the overwhelming demand the first run of the phones is being sent to apple stores only. The 2nd nad 3rd runs will fulfill phone and online orders.

I only called because my delivery status was bumped from 9/21 to 10/5 after ordering at 3:40 EST. i asked her why people had statuses that said preparing for shipment ad she reiterated that no one who ordered online or over the phone will be receiving a launch day phone. Apple stores only will be getting launch day stock.

Not sure to take it as a grain of salt but thought if put it out there

I don't think there's any way that's accurate. Mine has shown delivers 9/21 since I placed the order at around 3:15am EST. As far as I know, despite all the iPad 3rd gen panic about delivery dates, Apple was true to the delivery date listed on the customer's order page. This is just another shard off the rumor mill.
 
Anyone with the Prepared For Shipment Status still have Standard Delivery? I know the delivery date is still 9/21 on both my orders ( Ordered at 12:15am PST ) but wondering if everyone is being switched to Holiday Shipping or not.

my 32GB preparing to ship still has standard delivery
and my 16 GB still processing has Holiday delivery now.
But both delivery date is still Sept 21. So i don't mind it.

We would need some confirmation on that (like a few more people getting the same message.) Plus can you imagine the image problem for apple if the pushed all the shipping dates.

sounds like a rumor to me
