I've been through the preorder process for every iPhone...... and iPad, for that matter. And I could agree more with the references to delivery day being like Christmas. ...

So......merry Apple-mas folks!

Wasn't the first iPhone derided by some as the "Jesus Phone"? :)
 
Ordered at 3:17 EST. 16GB white. Still processing. I want it to change just because that cancel button makes me so fearful I'll accidentally hit it.
 
I was one of those slow ones. Ordered around 9am EST. Coming October 5th. Probably for the best since this is around the same time my case may be shipping.
 
Ordered around 2:04, maybe 2:05 Central Time immediately after the preorder page went up. Got through very quickly without any problems, which was a surprise after my problems with preordering the 3rd gen. iPad earlier this year.

Anyways, went with 32GB white on AT&T. Order switched to preparing for shipment early yesterday morning. Delivery on the 21st with standard shipping.
 
Ordered my 32Gig White via the Apple Store app on my iPhone at 3:11am Eastern Time. Got confirmation email at 3:19am. Mine says preparing for shipment. Delivers 9/21 via standard delivery.
 
Blah, I just realized that sharethis was conflicting with facebook login, no wonder there has been so few people using the site since the Retina Macbook Pros.

Disabled share this for now.
 
Pre-ordered a 16GB, Black, AT&T from the Apple Store app and got my confirmation email at 3:07 eastern time. My status is STILL "processing items" and as of last night my shipping method was changed to Holiday Shipping for Delivery on 9/21. My card has a pending transaction on it as well. :mad:

Oh and I received the email this morning about purchasing Applecare +.

Thats funny how you said that because I felt the same way . Now it finally changed to preparing for shipment, for some reason I feel much better lol, smh. Probably doesn't make a difference but I feel relief. Still have another week to go !
 
I was late to the game and mine says available for shipping in two weeks, with a delivery of October 5th. I'm hoping they update this sometime this week and I get it before then!

but still says it's going to delivered the 21st

After having gone thru this for each new release of the iPhone and iPad it all magically comes together and they will deliver on the 21st if that is your promised delivery date regardless of what your shipping status or shipping method currently states. :D

Order Email @ 3:53am EST: Available to Ship: Delivers 9/21
Current status on Apple.com: Processing, Devliers: Oct 5th


I sure hope you are right :mad:

That is what my status says. I ordered two phones (separate orders) and only changed my shipping address on one of the orders. The one that I left alone says "prepared for shipment" with standard shipping, but the one where I changed the address still says "processing items" with holiday shipping.
 
You guys do realize that it basically went up for sale YESTERDAY. Things take time, Mine is still processing, switched to holiday shipping (which means 2-3 days) and im not worried. Relax, and put ductape over the f5 key.

It will be okay :)

Now whens mine going to ship, I needed it yesterday.
 
IT does seem they are trickling down from high to low, A lot of what I am reading is that a lot of 64gb have prepared, I think this is how it was for the 4s too.

I too have delivery on 9/21 and received the email for AppleCare+. I replied, and am now wondering what happens next. Do they just add it to the order? Is it a seperate transaction? I haven't heard anything since I replied.
 
I am having the same problem and getting aggravated!!

I got my issue resolved finally, did you order via the iPhone app?

Apparently you agree to the "terms and conditions" on the app when you hit submit. The problem was that apple wasnt recognizing that as you agreeing and flagged it. You're going to have to explain that to them (sadly) unless you get someone who has experienced it before or they're going to be clueless.

I had to call and demand an answer, after 6 calls.

Apple care is attached to the phone serial. You dont receive anything in the mail to register since its registered with the phone when you buy it.
