Wtf... AT&T Next cards are just now getting hit and shipped?

I'm still in OIP no movement and 5 days having been charged.

Guess it's time for that tcook email.
 
My order just got updated with a date pushed in the opposite direction. Originally was delivery 11/17-11/24. Got an email and notification that it's now 11/20 - 11/27. :(

Did this happen to anyone else?

I ordered a Space Grey 256, paid in full, AT&T though the Store App.
I was in the same boat, same phone. I cancelled and got my phone on Nov 3 in stores. I'd highly suggest you do the same.
 
Credit card just got charged and status changed to preparing to ship!:)
:p:apple:
Dates have not changed yet from 17-24.
I would imagine that will happen soon. Order placed direct on Apple website paid in full on the 27th at 13 minutes after pre-orders launched.
 
Crazy when I ordered from Sprint to upgrade they charged me for shipping right away.. it was $10 and some change.. How do the other carriers do it or Apple's own site.. This will probably be the first and last I try this again.
 
Writing this on my new phone. Somehow it felt like a very long journey to get to this point. I wish everyone who hasn’t gotten his her phone yet will get it soon! The phone takes some getting used to and there are definitely things I don’t yet like about it. But it’s a beautiful phone. See y’all until next fall!

Just curious what you don’t like about it and what phone you’re coming from??

I originally had my 256GB silver in the 11/17-11/24 ship range. Got bumped up and got it today.

However, it has a dead pixel in the lower left corner.

Yes it’s small. Yes the phone is still usable. But when I get something this expensive and it’s defective out of the box, I’m going to have an issue with it.

Earliest genius appointment is three days out from now. I’ll have to do a return then rebuy. I’m not sure the store will have any in stock the same time I return mine so I might end up getting a new one around the same time that my phone was originally suppose to arrive. Frustrated.

:cool: I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over that. In the past, a certain number of dead pixels were required to qualify for a replacement. Not sure what the number is, or if that is still the case.
 
Same boat here. I’ll add that I’m on ATT and I originally ordered 10/27 using the Apple Store app around 12:10 am PT (took many tries before I could get in) and got caught up in the Citizens Bank mess that affected many first-time IUP applicants like myself. The original order never went through and I had to do a reorder after I received an email from Apple acknowledging the error. They restored my original delivery date of 11/17-24. In retrospect, I probably didn’t need to do that reorder.

I just might pay a visit to a few Apple Stores, ATT stores, and Best Buys in my area today.....

That’s exactly what happened to me. Had to contact them to get back in 11/17-24 boat.

But order number is still higher. I think that really screwed me though.
 
So how long is it taking to go from "Preparing to Ship" to "Shipped"? Asking for a friend...:D:D:D


looks like a day. I got my message early this morning about preparing for shipment, now it's in China waiting to be picked up by UPS. Still don't have a confirmed delivery date, but I have strong guess that I'll get it by Friday. (Just based off of the others' emails)

How do you know it's in China?

Thanx. That makes me very Happy!!!!I'm hoping for Friday delivery, but I guess next Monday will do.

So you already have a tracking number? Or is there a way to check this without that? I'm preparing to ship since Saturday.
