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.
Mine current status is - iPhone 6s 64gb Rose Gold

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?
My sister has order one unlocked from apple and it says pre pareing for shipment, and she found her tracking number via reference on ups last night
Same happen to me. It was pending in my bank acct and then on friday that passed it just went away and i got the money placed back into my acct to use again. I was losing it bc I thought att canceled my order.
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.
Yea, I just went and looked at upgrade options on the 6S+ for giggles, and none have a pre Oct 20 ship date.
pick your poison. it's a forum. that's what we do here.
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.
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'm aware they're way different but if the estimated ship dates are becoming more accurate it can give us more answers.
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 wouldn't go off the ship dates at all, you will get it on launch or the Monday after. I am pretty sure.
Why are we surprised. We know the 6s have a lot of stock. It's the pluses
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.."
