Hey guys. I know this is random but I have never pre-ordered an iphone before. The iphone 6 was my first one. I ordered mine on sept 12 through apple.com. My order status as of now is "preparing for shipment." My question now is, does Apple send you a tracking number? If so, does it need to be signed for? I'm just as to if I'm going to know when my iphone is delivered and also make sure someone is home when I receive it. Thanks much!

Yes, but once it ships you can pre-sign for it.
 
Still processing. :confused: I wonder if where you are geographically located makes a difference? I mean maybe until your carriers 'hub' has their supply drop shipped, your order will not click over to preparing for shipping? At least mine still says delivery on the 9/19, so I am confident that it will arrive this Friday, just wish that it would switch over to shipping!
 
Mine is still processing delivery on 9/19 too. Im getting worried now. I ordered 6+ 64gb space grey from apple at 1239pst. Phoenix AZ
 
What carrier and color? Asking because I got the reservation for Space Gray 64GB ATT around the same time as you and it was still Deliver by 9/19. When I got my 2nd email, though, I got pushed back to 7-10 business days. :(

Verizon wireless, mine is silver 128 iphone+ and my wife's is gold 64 iphone+
 
Wow! I have that app and I don't even know that. Thank you!

Same. Adding iPhone order now.

This is a nice app if you receive/send a decent number of packages. I tried a few others but like this one the best. Worth the $4.99 (I have no association with the developer, just like the app).

Why would you be worried? You have a 9/19 delivery date.

Whether the status changes to shipped yesterday or Thursday you'll still get your phone 9/19.

I bought the app so long ago I forgot it even was a paid app. It is great, they have a widget for the mac too which is actually free.
 
Someone just mentioned to me that the "Delivery Status Touch" app (sorry, $4.99) can handle Apple store order numbers (I'm just a happy customer, and have no connection to the developer). I just entered all of my orders (hopefully, I won't have to re-enter the tracking numbers when I get them).

Delivery Status is awesome, love the app. Had no idea it could do this.

If you're cheap and have a Mac there is also a free Delivery Status dashboard widget.

Mine's still processing too. No worries, you will definitely receive your phone on launch day.

Some people's status won't change until Tuesday or Wednesday - Apple will next day air it to you if they have to (which I have seen in the past ;) )

For the record I ordered: 6 Plus, 64GB, space grey, AT&T, iPhone Apple Store App with 9/19 confirmation email received at 2:22am CST.
 
Can confirm, Delivery Status Is awesome

Got a reservation email around 5:20 am 9/12. AT&T silver plus 64. Preparing for shipment as of this morning!! I have no idea when I succeeded with ordering on the app to get the reservation. Sometime between 3:30-4 am. Placed order from reservation at 12:20 pm 9/12. Excited!
 
Apple.com Orders - Tracking/delivery dates

Any other in-store pickup ordered out there? Mine still says "processing." Not sure if I should be concerned or not..


Same here. I'm not worried about it.

Edit: it looks like they charged my card so it's happening.

Little upset that I ordered 26 minutes after the release and a 6+ 128GB is saying delivery on Oct 1-6.. Never had this much trouble getting a phone.
