Please keep me posted. The guy told me I could login and change it back but I don’t see the option he told me about. I’m calling back today as well. I can’t understand the 24th if the store is 15 minutes from my house.
Got a tip for us?

First iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch Series 4 Orders Begin Shipping Out to Customers

The headline should read, new phones shipped to shippers in preparations for Friday delivery.
Some may slip for a Thursday delivery by but that’s rare,
Until you and others stop buying Apple products, grudgingly or not, Apple products will continue to rise in price and fall in quality. They will only change if business significantly drops off. All the griping means nothing to the bean counters as long as the beans keep rolling in. Apple continues to thrive on the foundation built by SJ - how long that will continue depends on the customer base.
My iPhone X is higher quality than my iPhone 7 pro, which is higher quality than my original iPhone. My iPad Pro is higher quality than my iPad Air 2 which is higher quality than my original iPad.
Other than MBP, Apple quality is increasing.
Most technology improves over the years - that's nothing new. What is changing, especially with Apple, are the steeply inflated prices for what you get in return. This is true for both their phones and their laptops. I can get a fully spec'd iPhone 6S+ (I'm assuming you meant 7 plus and not 7 pro) for less than half the price of the fully spec'd XS Max, and whatever improvements the XS Max may have over the 6S+ does not justify its huge cost for me. One thing it doesn't have is a phone jack, which obviously means nothing to current iPhone buyers. It meant a lot to me and others I know who no longer buy iPhones. As you admit, the Apple laptop line has suffered a lot over the last few years - bad keyboards, port anemia, and cooling problems, along with inflated pricing. A top-of-the-line MBP now runs over $6000 with I9 chip, maxed out RAM (32 GB), and large (4 TB)SSD - and it still suffers from lack of ports and throttling, though perhaps the keyboard has been improved. Oh well, I have meandered off topic, which was when folks will get delivery on their new iPhones. Sorry about that.

I ordered my Apple Watch Space Gray Nike 44mm via Verizon with a delivery of 9/21. It now shows to ship by 9/21.
It's always the opposite for me. UPS shows up early, and FedEx is late afternoon/evening. I've hated them using FedEx after one year when they driver lied about attempting to deliver my phone (unless an attempt was made at the wrong address). I was home all day with the signature form taped my door and was sitting at my desk when I got a notice that they attempted to deliver my package saying I wasn't available. Incensed, I immediately called them, and of course the person on the phone didn't care and just kept repeating that she was sorry the driver couldn't make contact with me and delivery would be reattempted on Monday.
I ordered mine through Verizon on Fri, 0420 EST and it also shows “Estimated to ship around Sep 21,2018”.
YEEEEES!!! Welcome!!

Apple started preparing the first iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 orders for shipment over the weekend, and now those orders have started shipping out to customers.
Apple has not yet updated order statuses from "Preparing to Ship" and likely will not do so until later this week when packages begin hitting their destination locations, but customers who pre-ordered a new device in the United States may be able to track their order using UPS tracking features.
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 orders that are shipping via UPS in the United States are in transit and can be tracked using a UPS My Choice account or a reference number on the UPS website.
Customers with UPS My Choice accounts can visit the scheduled deliveries section of the website to see a list of Apple orders that are set to be delivered on Friday, which can be clicked to reveal full tracking details.
Tracking by reference requires a phone number and a zip code, or an order number minus the last two digits of the number. Many customers are already seeing their orders on the UPS website, but not every order has been transitioned to UPS as of yet.
Most orders right now are still in various parts of China, but should be departing for the United States and other countries in the near future.
Apple began accepting pre-orders for the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 on Friday, September 14 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time. By the time a half hour had passed, many iPhone XS Max models had sold out and were no longer available for launch day delivery.
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and Apple Watch Series 4 orders placed today will not ship out until October, but some models are still available for in-store pickup on September 21 in select stores. Retail stores are also expected to have supplies available for walk-in purchases on launch day.
Apple Stores, carrier locations like Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T, and big box retailers like Best Buy and Target are likely to have the new products available for purchase on launch day in the United States.

Anyone else who ordered from T-mobile ? I haven't gotten any updates yet. It's still in processing status with shipping dates of the 21st. The anticipation is too real, and I hope I'll get it by launch day !!

Peeling off that plastic knowing very well it will NEVER be that shiny ever again.
I seem to recall a Big Bang Theory where Raj allows Howard the pleasure of peeling off a panel of plastic for a new iPhone.
Yep (picturing all around the world soon, scenes something like this)...
Same here. I have checked "my t-mobile" more times this week than all times before combined. At least I can admit that it's unhealthy. That's the first step to recovery, right?
Ordered my Apple Watch Series for at 3:22 am Eastern on 9/14. Apple's website still shows "Preparing to Ship" but also has a delivery date of 9/21. Don't let me down Apple. On a side note, I plan to be at the Apple Store first thing this Friday morning in a effort to score a Series 4 for my wife. I hope they have stock.
