China just took nearly 20million preorders that I assume will have to begin shipping within the next 10 days or so. Where are those phones coming from?


No where.
They make them in China.

----------

He did but the stock wasn't this low before preorder with the 5.

I think they sold the initial inventory of 5s in 1 hour.

Hang in there everyone.
I know what the wait feels like.
 
Here's an article on the 5 and 5s/c launch as compared to the 6/6+ - I thought it was an interesting read - from a few weeks ago but still pretty good

ATT is nooooooooooooowhere near getting wait times down like last year.
 
Just popping back in. Is there any movement tonight?

There was very little movement I think the last person with a window that ended on 10/13's phone shipped. I don't believe anyone in the next block has shipped yet. I'm in the window after that of 10/31-11/11. So at least a couple more weeks, maybe another month.
 
Here is what I could find from people that posted that ordered on the 12th:

All I can say from following this forum is we should have waited a couple of days and we would probably have our phone. Thanks AT&T you are just providing great consistent service (not)

SG 64GB at 11:30AM: 11/9 - 11/27.
 
So people were just scaring me about the 10/31 cut off. Lol

The $200 iPhone 4 offer will be honored as long as you placed your iPhone 6 order on or before Sept 30th although I would not wait long after receiving your order in taking it to a corporate AT&T store to exchange for the promo card.

yes, my wife isn't very happy about my presence on this board as well. But she understands to a degree because I'm adimittedly an Apple fan boy. Last year though I ordered my 5S on 9/23 and it shipped on 9/24. which was two days after our wedding. She didn't care about that because it shipped within 24 hours.

Ty everyone the best part is that the phones were part of the anniversary gift. It's all I wanted but I snuck in the trip this weekend. Which I can't wait for. I hope you have many more after the 63 it's an awesome feeling knowing you found your soulmate. Especially when a lot of people didn't think we would last.
