Same here Processing Items on My 64GB Verizon and i order within the first 10 minutes,
Apple rep. confirmed.

Mine is still "processing" as well and ordered within the first 10 minutes like you, same phone. Apple still says delivers by the 21st with holiday shipping (overnight), so I won't be concerned until it's Thursday.
 
Me too on the 64gb Verizon, Black for me, I wonder whats up!

My Verizon 64gb is still processing, as well.

Seems like an awful lot of these have not shipped yet.
Maybe these are already in the U.S., so are shipping later.

Pretty sure we will still get these on the 21st.
 
still "Processing items"

I placed the order Verizon 16gb on Friday 2:30AM CST at apple.com
On Saturday the status is "preparing for shipment", but now it went back to "processing items".
This is very strange. I'm worried that my iPhone wont get to the states on the 21st.
 
Not me. I can't believe waiting 1 hour they all got sold. Mine was ordered right at 4am EST and shows 10/5 delivery.

I ordered at 3:55 an est and had confirmation at 3:58. Still stuck at 2 weeks :( disappointed. Really was hoping as shipping moved along some of us would get bumped up!
 
Hello All! I've been following this thread since 88 pages ago and many others... figured i'd post up.

Ordered 3:30am 9/14 with confirmation email at 3:35am.
Went into "preparing for shipment" yesterday evening, and woke up this morning to having the serial # in the support page along with reference UPS tracking.

32gb Black/slate AT&T - Week 37 production (Hot off the assembly). Phone left Zhengzhou early this morning US time... CAN'T WAIT!!! :D:apple:

I would believe they should be shipped out today, because
i got off with the Apple rep. and he told me if it says 21st
it will happen and today i guess is the cut off to get from
china to USA.
 
I ordered my iPhone 5 on September 14th around 12:15am. My account/order status on apple.com says my order is being prepared to ship with delivery on 9/21, yet I have received no other information about it. Seems like most of the people on here whose phones are being delivered on Friday have recieved shipping information and can locate their package, yet I can't?? Why?? :( I ordered a black 16GB on apple website. I am an AT&T customer, but it was easier for me to order it from apple.com rather from AT&T website.

I'm in the same boat, but with a 64gb Verizon model. I'm betting lots of each model are in several locations already in the States (I assume you are, but apologize if you aren't) so they don't need any long shipping times. If I remember correctly, I think that's what happened with my iPad, which was a preorder last spring too.
 
What are you all doing to stay busy and keep your minds off of the iPhone? Work? School? I have today off from school due to the Jewish holiday so I'm just lying here in bed listening to Macklemore, thinking about a certain girl, contemplating whether or not I should go on a bike ride.

Hmm well I am stuck in organic chemistry, differential equations, and physics classes... So no luck with distracting me from constantly refreshing
 
Just out of curiousity, is it countries outside the US that use the term "maths"? I see the useage of that word (with an S) a lot in this forum, but I'm not accustomed to seeing it otherwise.
The "correct" English use is maths, I think only in the US is it acceptable to say "do the math" or similar. Of course due to its use in TV/Movies the young folk all over are dropping the "s" now too.
 
I ordered two iPhones a few minutes after 12:00AM PST. I used the UPS reference number trick to find the devices, and both showed up shipping from China on 9/16, and scheduled to arrive on 9/21.

Last night, I went on UPS.com again and searched for reference numbers (my billing phone number, like the rest), and I was surprised to see now 3 tracking numbers, the original two from China, and a 3rd one from Addison, IL, with a weight of 2lbs. This matches exactly what other people are seeing as far as weight and location with shipments from IL. The shipping method on this package shows Next Day Air Saver, with a delivery date of 9/21.

Anyone else have this? Could it really be a 3rd phone? I'm absolutely positive that I only ordered two devices.
 
So the charge for my iPhone was pending on my account all weekend, now it's not there anymore?:confused:

Luckily my phone showed up on my support profile this morning, but still no tracking info yet!
 
while you all were obsessing over serial numbers, i was able to get my early upgrade fee (all $200+) credited by AT&T. combined with selling my 4S for $320, I made over $100 from this whole transaction.

Ugh don't remind me. On Wednesday, I'll have to go back to honors pre-calc, honors physics, AP history, AP lit, etc :(
 
So for fun I've done some maths!

I'm estimating that 1 million phones were available for shipment on the 21st based off them selling 2 million in the first 24 and that roughly being the amount of 4S's they sold opening day last year.

The total population of people in the countries that could purchase opening day is 573 million.

So the odds of someone you meet having another 5 between the 21st and October 5th is about 0.17%

The few the proud and whatnot.

If that's true then many of us who got an Oct 5 date after ordering within the first 12 hours were given an incorrect date. At that point there should still have been plenty, and even up to about noon PDT of the 14th. I got an Oct 5 date only 1 hour or so into ordering, so that date is most likely in error.

I'm an education student so I'm trying to keep myself busy with class work. However, that's obviously not working since I'm on here right now reading these boards and frantically refreshing tracking screens. I really should get back to the textbooks though
 
I heard that 16gb phones are already in the US and that's why they have an October 5 delivery date and are 'still processing'. I suppose most 16gb will be delivered on the 21st, too. :)

I'm a highschool junior. When I go back on Wednesday, I'll be "taking notes" on my computer.
 
Shipped

I was able to find my order on ups.com using my phone #.

Ordered on apple app on my phone at about 3:10am EST last Friday.

Looks like it left Korea this morning. Perhaps on a plane to the US?

:)
