Are they still shipping quicker than expected? The other day people were ordering and getting tracking numbers very quick. Wanted to know if that's still happening. Thanks.
 
It's totally dependent on what you're ordering. My guess is that the majority of people who got super-fast turnarounds on their orders are ones who ordered the super-common models, e.g. 16GB space grey. If you're looking for any variety in gold, I can virtually guarantee that's not going anywhere fast. ;)
 
didn't order online but did in store (new line, updating plan) on launch day around 6pm. 16GB gold, still in "preparing for shipment" status.
 
Well I am tired of playing the game of trying to find one locally. So I placed my order on AT&T.com and will keep this thread updated when I find anything out. I ordered a 32gb Space Grey.
 
I'd bet that one shouldn't take TOO long to get shipped out. You're lucky that SG is what you want! :)

Even if it's the 14 days (7-14 days) I am fine with that. I just have too much on my plate right now to be babysitting Apple.com to try to get one quicker. I would like to have it now but my 5 is a great phone so I don't need to rush it.
 
I ordered a 32 gb 5S in Space Grey Saturday night. Got shipping confirmation email yesterday and it came today via FedEx.

I live in Atlanta and it shipped from Ft Worth TX
.
 
Ordered my 32gig silver 5S at the AT&T store on Sunday. Shipped yesterday. On schedule to be delivered Thursday.

you should get that pretty quick.
 
you should get that pretty quick.

I hope so. My 1st iphone was a black 4. I've had white since then and thought I would change it up. I think all the colors are nice and it seems the space grey is more readily available so hopefully it works out for me. I wouldn't have even been so eager to upgrade this year except that I have outgrown 16gb and need to step up to 32gb. Maybe by next year I'll need 64gb but I highly doubt it. I don't put music on my phone.
 
I ordered 16 GB SG on Saturday and it still hasn't shipped. It says it will ship between the 8th and 14th. :(
 
Well 36 hours now and no signs of being shipped. I guess I'm not one of those lucky few.
 
Today their store page lists no estimated ship time for 32 or 64Gb space gray vs. the 'ships in 7-10 days' they used to indicate. Other models do, however.

So now does that mean much longer or shorter ship times?

It does allow you to purchase, though. So it's apparently not a 'currently unavailable' situation as it once was.
 
Well I never got an email but I just checked AT&T.com and my order is now SHIPPED!!!!!! Shipping via USPS which I think is odd but I have a tracking #. Good stuff! Oh and I still haven't seen a Grey 32gb AT&T in stock at my local Apple store yet so I'm glad I did this.
 
Ordered 32GB white and silver on 9-21. Got shipping email on 9-25 and delivered 9-27. I was given an estimated ship date of oct 1-30, so it happened way faster than I expected for me :D
 
Ordered my 16gb GOLD 5s at 10:30am CST on 9/20 via AT&T

:apple:Phone Status: Preparing to Ship

:apple:Sim Status: Processing (just changed this morning from Preparing to Ship)

Does that mean that my order should ship soon???
