I still have not even received my tracking number. I placed my order at 3:07 a.m. EST on 9/14. My order status says, "Preparing for Shipment." :mad:

Go to UPS.com and track by reference. Put in your phone number with area code and it should show you your shipping info.
 
Just talked to the UPS driver that drops off at work. He says drivers delivering large quantities of the iPhone will have someone following them throughout there route.

In addition, there is security over looking the sorting at each hub.

Wow.
 
(Whisper It) It Doesn't Look THAT Much Different To The 4 Does It?.
Is It Not Even A Teensy-Weensy Bit Possible That We've All Been Duped A Bit By The Hype .... Even A Weeny Bit ... Just A NanoSim Sized Bit?.

Well NO!!!! And Just By Watching And Rewatching This Video You Shall Soon Be Convinced That You HAD To Upgrade From Your 4S!

Now - Keep Watching And Rewatching And Repeat After Me ...

Take ... My .... Moneyyyyyyy ...... Take .... My ...... Moneyyyyyyy ..... :p

Go to ups.com and TRACK BY REFERENCE (as opposed to track by number). Enter your ten digit phone number as the rerference#, input your country, and your zip code.
You'll see your package is well on its way to you.

If that doesn't work, do the same thing as above on FedEx.com
 
I was hoping to get mine early (ordered on contract from 3 in the UK) but not had any shipping info yet and when rang up said they were being posted so looks like mine will be being delivered Friday:(

Just hope someone is in and they don't try and deliver it in the one hour window in the day when no one is!!!!
 
Actually when Cook sad "double down security" he meant Mac OS or iOS security not a Apple security. as we got so called "leaks" and "premature" deliveries

I'm just waiting for the slow-witted "it's a fake" comments by those who don't understand that the devices still have the protective plastic wrap.

I know we will get a few. MacRumors has never disappointed me when I've set the bar so low.

:) ;) :D

And you don't think it's fake? A brand new iPhone, out of the box, turns on in 4 seconds and is ready to go? No activate or intro screen? Right.
 
My shipping on UPS still has not updated since Monday night around midnight local time that it had left Anchorage, Alaska. Anyone having that issue? Shouldn't it arrived somewhere in the continental US by now? Its been over 36 hours.

Me too - all I can say is, the shipping date still says 9/21 and UPS knows a lot more about "logistics" than I do.
 
In the third video it seems the guy is trying to open the box without ever touching it (Other than the plastic wrap.) He said he used nails and a pair of pliers? It is just a cardboard box...


Anyways, the only thing I will miss from my 4S is having a 5 foot cable from monoprice. Charging at night is going to be a lot more annoying with the normal shorter Apple cables.

Same here. But I did the UPS reference trick and on their website I can see that it's shipped is on track to be delivered on friday (maybe even earlier)
 
I feel dirty after watching that first one.

Dude. They clearly edited the shot.

Finally, a third awkward unboxing video has been posted by a YouTube user who tells us that he pre-ordered his iPhone 5 through Apple and that it was delivered by UPS earlier today.

I lol'd when they started carefully cutting the shrinkwrap off the box with a utility knife. It's shrinkwrap! Get your fingernail in there and rip that s*** off!

The first video was the most disturbing to me. The music chosen is something one would put on the stereo if they were planning on getting laid. Could easily substitute some Barry White tunes in there, and it would achieve the same atmosphere.

The "Awkward" video was perhaps the worst unboxing video ever produced, don't put yourself thru watching that for god's sake....

The only thing that has changed since then was that it said Schedule Delivery: 9/21/2012, by end of day. Now it just has the date and no end of day.

I am hoping it somehow arrives tonight and I see "Out for Delivery" notification when I log in to track tomorrow morning =D
