No. Your phone is coming on the 21st. Same thing happened to me in 2010 with the iPhone 4. I received no confirmation email from AT&T for many days. If you need to feel secure about it, you can talk to a sales rep on the phone, and they will confirm your order for you.
had a 21st ship date then lost it
got up at 2:45 (central time - 45 minutes after ordering started) - had trouble (of course) with the store...*using safari I kept getting 404 messages - went to chrome after 10 minutes
had my iPhone in the cart ship date said the 21st
tried to add second phone for my daughter to the cart
said I couldn't do that... removed the second phone
ship date for my first phone now said "in 2 weeks" -- that was at about 3:04 am - so in the time I was trying to add my daughter's, I lost the good ship date
i probably would have been fine if i'd tried chrome to begin with

Delivery date
Hi all,
I ordered mine and had checked out within a couple of minutes. It's given me a delivery time frame of 21-27/09. What's the chances of getting it on the 21st considering I started buying it the second the app went live.
Also is it normal for it to still be processing my order?

Yeah it's all good. I called right away and confirmed the charge and it was showing up on the banks website too.
Two huge differences through...
IPhone is more popular than the iPad.
IPhone starts at $199 compared to $499
Good luck getting an iPhone two days after its released.
I placed two orders about 10-15 minutes apart. The first is in processing and allowed me to change shipping info, the second is in "order received" status and will not allow any edits yet. I'm guessing there's a fairly short window between processing and shipped during which the shipping info can be changed.
I placed all my orders between 3:15am and 3:45am EST and it wasn't there
Okay. I saw that at some point. Maybe it was later. I had a hard time getting back to sleep and jumped on the iPad once or twice around 5:30-ish AST. Maybe that's when I saw it.
I checked VZW's website and I can pre-order at full price, which means I can keep my unlimited data. But when it came to "select a data plan", unlimited wasn't an option. Looks like I *will* have to wait until next week and get it in-store to make this work. Stupid VZW.
Edit: BTW Verizon is still listing their stock as being delivered on 9/21, for those interested.

Holy Shnikes. Are there seriously that many families out there dropping $700 plus tax on three or more unlocked phones?
Come on. Give me a practical reason. I find it unbelievable that so many people would be ordering for a "family of three" that Apple had to limit quantities. This is due to scalping, plain and simple.
they better have stock on a October 7th when i'm officially allowed to upgrade... dam verizon
No - you would have been fed up with chrome giving you 404 errors, and then safari would have worked, and you'd conclude that safari is better than chrome.
I'm not sure about adding it to the order, but I do know you can go to your local Apple Store within 30 days of the ship date to buy it. They require you bring proof of purchase and the phone, they'll inspect it and then sell you AppleCare (as long as the phone's fine).
Ehh I ordered 6 this morning and I'm not selling any of them... Have a family plan with 5 and one individual line.
+1 Don't pay attention on others, your choice is the right one. I'm going to order 7 iphones and may be return 8 of them, who cares.
Grrrr
i set my iPhone to wake me up at 2:45 and it just DIDN'T. Full volume and nothing. I woke up about an hour after pre orders were available to see the two week notice -____- i think my 4S is trying to stop me from upgrading. Maybe this is just a scheme of Apple to make it look as if its selling faster than it is, but i doubt it.

The 2 per person limit is to protect against scalping. But the are many many families out there who need 4, 5, 6 new phones. Easy. Also small companies buying them.
I believe the iPhone is the single more desired product in the world. Without a doubt.
In the new couple of weeks, you will see them filtering into every corner of the globe. Today, there are people with enough bucks in every town, village and city on earth
Ordered mine via apple store app at 2.02 am central. Got confirmation at 2.04 am that it will be delivered on 21st. Balck 32GB at&t
Ordered at 4:46am EST this morning.
Still shows as "We've recieved your order". Not processing or anything.
Hope there's no issue, even if I won't be getting it until the first week of Oct.
