Correct. It's the same every year. The majority are already stateside. For the past 3 iPhone releases, I've received the phone on the first available day but have never been able to track it via shipping AND have not received a "item has shipped" email from Apple until the night before delivery.
The phones are all in the states already in a regional facility and can be at your home in 6 hours.
After a few replies that theory is pretty much blown, haha
Lol it made me feel better for like 5minutes haha

Does anyone's support profile listing of their iPhone 6/6+ actually show a picture of the device? Mine just shows an apple logo
Same here.
No doubt. I'd just kinda like to know where my wife's 6+ is, since I ordered it about 15 minutes before my 6 (at around 3:37am ET on 9/12), and while my 6 has a tracking # at UPS and a serial # on my profile, her 6+ does not.
If we are on the support profile that means that we have already shipped right? I am on my support profile but I can't find my phone using reference tracking on fedex or UPS.
I have a strange situation. I have a 6 Plus on order from the reservation email. Order number begins with a W, and the delivery date is 9/19. It still says "preparing to ship," and the pending charge on my credit card from a few days ago has vanished
That has happened to me before when preordering other iPhones and iPads. Apple can only have the hold on your account so long before it drops off if they don't go ahead and charge it. That is what happened to me, but as soon as my item went from preparing to ship to actually shipped the charge was back on my account and actually charged and not pending.
So I wouldn't worry about it.

that means apple has received the information for your specific iPhone. For all we know, UPS has it in their possession but hasn't scanned it yet.
ATT 6+ 128gb Space Gray
Just called apple cuz the charge disappeared but they said I'm good to go and i will have the phone on friday .. so we shall see. She also upgrading the shipping for free on my case which wasn't going to arrive until next week. The case was a different order.
pick mine up too
same
yep
Yep. Ordered at 3:40am EST via iOS app, preparing for shipment since Sat. afternoon. Scheduled for 9/19 delivery, Apple says payment authorization went through but on my cc statement online it's still pending, UPS shows there's a package but no tracking # or other details. waiting waiting waiting...
ups.com > track by reference > input phone number (apple ID) or your order number minus the last 2 digits > profit
I see a lot of people saying this, but for the one package I've found, 1 reference is the home phone number and the 2nd reference doesn't remotely resemble any number I've aware of - it's not any portion of the serial #, it's not a phone #, it's not any portion of the order #.. it starts "72W26" with 2 more letters and 2 numbers. The order number starts with "W456" ...
Make sure you use whatever you entered for a contact phone number. I used my landline number, and that's what UPS reference info shows. My wireless number is not shown at all.

I'll take the apple logo. Mine doesn't show at all yet.

My support profile doesn't even show that I have an iPhone 6, even though I preordered a 6 Plus, and my Your Orders page shows that it's available for pick up on the 19th. All I see is my 4S and its serial number.
I have the same weird reference numbers, but I know some people had luck with it (I used my phone number to find mine)
When my ex-girlfriend pre-ordered a 4S a few years ago, hers shipped out from China around 6pm eastern time Thursday night and was delivered to her house Friday at 12pm eastern time. So its still very possible some haven't shipped. For reference, I ordered a space gray 64 gb 6+ ATT and I have no tracking, or support page info. Still says preparing for shipment. Ordered at 3:20 am eastern time.
Preordered two 6 Plus 64GB. But only have a tracking number for one. This is under two different orders. Anyone else in the same boat. Both show delivery of 9/19 on Apple.com.
