Maybe because AT&T is filling your order?... Maybe their systems are overrun by the sheer volume of the pre-order. Even if they aren't its time they updated its a farce. For my other line that ordered a regular 6 it left AT&Ts fulfillment center on Saturday the 13th. ATT website didn't reflect this information until Tuesday night.
For all we know - phones of the people who pre-ordered in the first hour could have left an AT&T fulfillment center a few days ago. Just saying, have a little faith.
This year, with the advent of UPS MyChoice & FedEx Delivery Manager, it would be difficult to have a surprise delivery. As soon as a shipment with my name & address goes to either UPS or FedEx, I get a notification. I'm positive that those of us without tracking numbers are not getting phones tomorrow. Now, might we get them Saturday, or Monday, or anytime before 10/2 -- that I think is possible.
I'm just saying that Foxxconn had produced a lot of regular 6s and that they were already here in the states around the 12th... (i.e. My regular 6 order leaving AT&T leaving on saturday, yet not being reflected as such on AT&T's website until almost 4 days later).
Just saying that its conceivable that in the past few days Foxxconn could have shipped enough 6+ phones from Shenzhen, China to help fill in orders for those who ordered within the first hour, and AT&Ts website has yet to reflect this.
While I'm not thrilled I probably won't be getting my phone tomorrow, my expected delivery date is two weeks sooner than originally quoted to me.
After placing the order they said 13-Oct - 24-Oct. Then got shifted to 31-Oct - 11-Nov, then back to 13-Oct and then Tuesday night 2-Oct - 14-Oct.
Even before launch most reports were the Plus would be in short supply.
It's disappointing, especially if someone is looking at Halloween or Thanksgiving but at least in my case, they're quoting earlier than first stated.
I'll also repeat that my girlfriend ordered hers through Verizon 10 minutes after me. Has the same expected delivery date.
Sucks but... with all the problems that were had that night... store.apple.com wasn't even up by 4 am when I finally went back to bed. The Apple Store app was up and down (worked on my phone not my g/fs) AT&T didn't come on line for me until about 3:30 AM EDT.
Surprised it all wasnt worse.

My 6 phone with tracking number is sitting in my hometown at a distribution center. It is not in my FedEx delivery manager.
Let's hope so! I still believe I'll have a tracking number tonight. Not leaving the house tomorrow just in case.
Having mine sent to work which is a commercial address. Neither work for me. I has a sad. Probably not shipping anyway.
Few days? It's already on mine.
Help me out here...
Even if all 4 million preorders were for the 6 plus, Apple would have been able to have met that demand in a 28 day period.
4,000,000
÷ 140,000
= 28.5
It's safe to assume that the phones have been in production prior to the preorder date of 9/12, but for sake of discussion let's assume not. This would mean that everyone who preordered on day one, would have their phone by October 10. Why then, is my shipping date 11/9-11/27???
- Apple is producing 140,000 6 plus' a day link
- Apple sold a combined 4 million preorders in the first 24 hours link

This happened when I preordered a 5 for myself and my mother 2 years ago, so I'm trying to remain optimistic as well. Didn't get a tracking number until 9:00 PM on thursday, and it arrived at my house at 4:00 PM the next day.
Please don't fall victim to that ridiculous date. You'll have it within days not weeks I say.
ATT has proven you can't rely on their system. The very fact we seemingly aren't getting our orders is because of that system. Why believe what it says now?
I think because US is not the only contry that release the iphone on the first day.. There are many other countries too that apple need to supply their phone to
It is a ridiculous date... But you aren't taking into account units that will be sold at retail stores without a pre-order.
Why is it not in the delivery manager? Is the name or address different from normal for you?
TBH it is a new account, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. But names\nicknames are in profile - and the address is verified.
Something interesting I discovered just now:
I've heard many discussing the "cancel preorder" button and how that might affect things being shipped etc.
My i6+ is, in fact, in "preparing" limbo and the button to cancel is there. However, my wife's i6 is in transit according to the Express Order page and Fedex and the "cancel preorder" button is there for hers to with no shipping info.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe not, but the i6+ is probably on it's way to many right now.

Anyone else getting this on AT&T order page?
