Having never preordered before, I've learned you aren't charged anything until the phone ships. I joined the IUP this year. I've had two pending $1.00 charges on my CC, still pending. I also have a charge from Friday morning, finally posted today, for $27.xx. Any clue what this may be? I think it's too small to be tax related.

That goes for gift cards as well, right?
 
Not true at all. They can ship a phone here much faster than that, even from China. Also there are distribution warehouses in Mt Juliet TN, Reno NV, Ontario California, just to name a few locations where I’ve had products dispatched from before.
Have we seen PFS on Wednesday for a delivery on Friday before? Seriously asking. Honestly, if that happens for a few folks I'll be cheering that on but I think if it was coming from US staging it would already be Preparing for Shipment.

Now I've seen that from carrier orders -- my AT&T orders would notify with shipping info on Thursday for a Friday delivery but that's because the phone had not even been matched up to my order until 24 hours earlier. Apple runs a might tighter shipping ship than that.

Mine moved to 16 from 17 ... luckily my wife’s phone (same model/color) shipped and that will be mine on the 3rd ...
Mine moved from 17th to 15th which is super crazy to me. I think those dates will tighten a little. I'm just hoping I don't get a bump to 11/10. I leave for a trip early that morning so I'd have to get it held for the weekend.
 
Starting to regret not leaving att . In NYC speeds have gone to crap last couple of years . Should've went with Verizon or T-Mobile . Plus it seems like everyone in nyc couldn't get on at first and those who used the app or Apple site with att next got hit with the 11-17/11-24 date and haven't seen any movement on their dates . If my 6plus didn't have screen flickering I probably wouldn't care about the wait time , but thing is on its death bed and I refuse to give Apple $149 to fix something that they should be fixing for free .

It wasn't just NYC. Barely anyone got through on apple website before 10 minutes after the hour.

I feel your pain though, i'm in same boat. Still rocking the 6plus and it's on its last legs. Getting the 11-17/11-24 ship date was a punch to the balls for all of us.
 
I wonder if the carriers allowing people to pre-order before 12:01 pt/3:01 et pushed people to 2-3 weeks.

I feel like AT&T should get first dibs. I’ve stuck with them since the original iPhone and we are the original carrier. Seems like it doesn’t matter now.
Omg I agree so much. I've been since 2007 when people on Verizon were scoffing at me. And ironically att are the people that got screwed
 
ATT servers screwed and failed us royally. Apple comes close second for not coming online and being down.

I am feeling as frustrated as ever checking my status everyday... checking emails, checking app, and checking my CC. I am officially hating this purchase as much if not more than the Original Apple Watch botched release. UGHHH.

it's borderline stupid I know, but hey can't tell me what to do.
 
Since there really is no thread for 11/10 ship date:

I was charged for my silver 256 GB through Verizon this morning! I got up early and tried to order through the Verizon app at 3am last week but couldn't complete my order until 3:18 am. Like I said my official ship date is 11/10 and now my order went from pending to processing and my Verizon app says "we're getting your order ready". Really hoping this means I might get it for 11/3? I know they don't usually charge you until it gets ready to ship!
 
Wrong. Last year some people went from order in progress to preparing to ship to delivered in just 24 hours. Apple stores some inventory stateside which can be delivered in less than a day.

Order in Progress to being delivered and in you hands in 24 hours - HIGHLY skeptical - but if you say so;)
I intently followed all the threads last last year, never saw it.
 
My dad was in the 12/3 range (T-Mo, 256 Silver) and got bumped to 11/16 with the rest of us yesterday. The kicker? He ordered in the morning, about 3 hours after ordering went live.

still no movement on my 11/17-11/24 delivery. 256gb, ATT Next Upgrade. Apple App Store wouldn’t connect to ATT servers so I got on safari and got through with a time of 12:20 PST.

Yup, all three IUP
I’m wondering if this is all the movement (in regards to earlier shipping dates) we’ll see. With the iPhone X being more complicated to manufacture, it’s possible that they had only enough product to cover those launch day folks and after that they won’t be able to produce enough phones until the majority of next batch start shipping & getting theirs 2 weeks later.
 
I don’t care if they had problems with production blah blah blah. Cry me a river Apple. They should know better. As far as I know, they are still charging me full price for the phone. I don’t see any discounts for screwing me over.

Ugh I’m about to light my senior advisors ass again today. I’m pissed

Well, we got moved up one whole day...likely that all the original 17-24 folks will get theirs same day regardless of what our respective delivery dates say now.
No the girl above said her dad woke up at 6am and ordered then . Had A dec 5 date and got bumped to nov 16. ******** APPLE

I do enjoy seeing people go overboard in their anger over not getting their phones day one. I mean I want my phone too, but wow, some people need some perspective.
It is what is, they **** up... people get upset.
