I had the exact same issue and I placed my order for a Space Gray iPhone 6, 128 GB at 4:09 EST (so 20 min before you) and got a confirmation email at 10 AM that day. It was worrying me because I didn't know what they meant by "confirmation." So I called my credit card company today to insure that the $1 hold on my account was ok and they said all was good on their end.
I then (as I detailed in an earlier post) called ATT Premier and spoke to someone who told me that there was an issue with my order and it had something to do with my card. I told him that I already verified with my credit card that things were good, but he said he had to resubmit. So he subsequently did that, simply verifying info about my card but not asking me to give him the info all over again. Then I got charged. It was after that convo that I saw a status change to "preparing to ship" (on regular ATT site) with a ship date finally showing up on Premier - BUT, that ship date is between 10/15-11/4! :-(
Bottom line - as long as you see the $1 charge I would just leave it be. I fear I made a mistake calling ATT and I wonder if that only served to mess up my order. Guess I'll know by the end of this week.
