Common sense (at least my common sense) would tell you that if you can pick it up in the store on the 21st, you will have yours on the 21st.

Apple has always been very precise about delivery dates. If I remember correctly, they bought every single DHL trip out of china for the new ipad just to ensure delivery as promised.

And if you are that worried about it, go stand in line at your retailer on the 21st.

Some people like to have a device when it comes out. When the iphone4 was launched, it was very hard to get for quite a while.
 
Just spoke with Apple over the phone, they said it will be delivered on the 21st. I am upset that they are NOT doing non contracted phones though. I am on an employee plan and NEVER get an upgrade due to discounted pricing on my plan. Every year I go through this. I don't see why a company won't take $975 after taxes from me for a 64 GB iphone 5.
