My order status just changed to preparing for shipment for the phone, and there is a pending charge on my credit card for the phone. The delivery date has been changed to a week earlier for the phone. The AppleCare+ portion of the order still says processing with a delivery of Oct 14. The interesting thing is that both the phone and AppleCare+ have both had their method of shipping changed from standard to nothing. Not sure what it means, hoping they are being shipped together and the AppleCare+ date is still accurate
