How do you know they came off back order? Where did you order from? I ordered in store at an AT&T store on 10/01/12 and was told 2-3 weeks. Still on back order. Shipping window opens up on Sunday so I am hoping it will come soon. AT&T chat representative told me 10/19-10/31 shipping dates, so I don't know which set of dates to believe.

You can check https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/ to see if they came off back-order. It will have a "1" under that column.

I ordered from the AT&T website.

I ordered on 10/2 and was quoted shipping between 10/21-10/31 and 14-21 business days. The site to check bo status is a couple pages back, AT&T.com/status I think.
I shouldn't have sold my 4S thinking supply caught up with demand already. :(
Shouldn't orders start being fulfilled before shipping phones to stores for sale?? Makes zero sense.
Is this the worse iPhone launch ever? In terms of receiving the darn thing.

Anyone who ordered in store or is able to cancel their order, DO IT. I ordered on 9/23, got fed up, canceled, reserved with apple that night and got my iPhone 5 next day in store!! It's worth the trouble to do, trust me

Plus, my iPhone is perfect. Had it for a week now and there's 0 flaws.

TAX Question

An someone please explain why I ordered from ATT my wifes phone (16GB WHT) and the pending charge had $52 of tax based on $650 value.



I just reserved an Iphone apple.com 32GB WHT and only paid $23? Anyone address this issue?! Why did I pay twice as much with att for a 16GB than apple.com?
 
Picked up my iPhone earlier and it is amazing. Well worth it. Anyone who orders a white 32gb should get it within a week. It literally took a week from processing date to in my hand. Good luck everyone.
 
Sometime between 9 AM and 1:30 PM my 16 gig black ordered 9/20 came off BO.

At 4:30 it shows 'shipped' w. UPS tracking #, but UPS doesn't acknowledge it yet.

It will be interesting to see what the build date is, as I wanted to avoid the first batch or two of phones.

I know there are laws that if you get a subsidized phone shipped to CA, MA, or NV, you pay tax on the full retail price. Was the apple.com one in store pickup?

When did you order?

What about the 32GB blacks? I ordered mine 10/3 and still on backorder.. :p
 
This might be a dumb question but does the phone come with a lightning/USB cable for syncing? I know all other phones have come with a USB cable and a charger, so I was just wondering what comes with the ip5. Also, where are people getting their car chargers, at the apple store? Are they low in supply on all these accessories?
I have a case and screen protector but I'm not prepared with anything else.

Yes, it comes with a lightning -> USB cable. It also comes with the standard iPhone plug as with the previous-generation iPhones, and the new Earpods.

About the time that my phones came off back-order (I'm guessing), I received an email with the subject "Your iPhone CSS". Does anyone know if this tells me anything about if my phone is going to ship soon?

I didn't get any tracking number or a number in the shipped column yet.
 
At&t stinks, Too much BO! :eek: heh

anyway I ordered over phone on 16gb black 10/1 and wifes 16gb white on 10/2, nothing yet still on BO. patiently waiting
