Thanks for making me some hope ;-)
Still crossing fingers that it ships today/tomorrow.

Does anybody know if shipped on ATTs site means shipped from ATT to me .. or is is like the Apple Shipped that starts in Shenzhen, China?

Years ago, I remember seeing the shipping info for my iPhone 3 and 3G coming from China, to a facility here in the U.S, and to my home. Nowadays, all get is the shipping info from the U.S.

Consensus here is that AT&T is the only ones that actually ship from within the US, hence the later in the week ship dates.

k.. then it makes sense.

So Apple will send a bunch of Jettainers with iPhones from China to AT&T and then prepare customer packs with the iPhones to be shipped to them.

Gotcha!

So probably it may really ship not before Thursday/Friday.

Does anybody know where the AT&T hub/warehouse is were they do that processing?

last year it did come from the US vis ups, i dont know if they have to register the phone to the system so when you turn it on out of the box it will automatically update.

last year i lived in chicago, now currently i am living in San Diego, i would presume the carrier would be ups. i think verizon has a contract with FEDEX. and ATT uses UPS

I ordered mine 09/14/2015 in-store and mine is already on "preparing for shipment" status .. that's after "in progress" right?

Smitty (what usually name my iPhones) usually ships from Tennessee.
 
FWIW, I tried to cancel my 6s order from AT&T since I also reserved one for pick up from an Apple store. I got an error message that the order can't be canceled because it has been sent to shipping. I'd take this to mean if it says it'll ship on the 24th, it'll ship on the 24th.

Just to note that a colleague placed an order right now for the 6S 64GB on AT&T and got a Sep 24th expected ship date, although the 6s+ also showed as available.

Haha, anyone with a 6S+ order want to try this

Yea, I just went and looked at upgrade options on the 6S+ for giggles, and none have a pre Oct 20 ship date.
 
I have no data to back this up, but I think AT&T has different supply pipelines for Premier customers, as well as order front-ends, which is why we've been able to order 15-20 minutes in advance for the last couple of years.

Same here, all 6s+ show Oct 20 and beyond. I'm thinking of ordering online through ATT but I don't believe the 6S will ship the 24th as estimated.
 
This was my experience last year with AT&T order: got my preorder in around 3:18AM for a 6 Plus 64GB. I didn't get any confirmation until the next morning. Shipping estimate was the last week of October. A couple of days later, the shipping date got pushed to first week of November. Then, it went back to first week of October. In the end, I received my phone about 4 days after the launch date.
wait you're 100% right. I completely forgot about that. they pushed mine to 11/7 last year and then it was like just kidding you'll get it tomorrow. that was not cool on their part BUT I was happy I received it. fingers crossed this is what happens for us!
 
I will say this, I just looked at mine last year. I ordered my 6+ at 11:52am at the start of pre order and got a ship date of Oct-2-14th. When in fact it shipped on launch day the 26th and I got it on the Monday the 29th. So the 2 weeks out ship dates I'm sure will ship out on launch day and you will have it on Monday. This is of course for the 6+, 6's u will get on launch...
 
I'm aware they're way different but if the estimated ship dates are becoming more accurate it can give us more answers.

I wouldn't go off the ship dates at all, you will get it on launch or the Monday after. I am pretty sure.

BeWARE!! People bailing to Best Buy ... After you make your reservation.. Take a look at their disclaimer about launch day arrival.. ".... available on or AFTER release day.."
