Well said. I wish people would stop assuming they have already been charged when they haven't. All Apple has done is to check if you have enough funds and putting them on hold before going ahead with your order. They will put it back and then charge you when or soon after they ship your order.

Nah, my CC's been charged for sure. I just called my CC company and verified. Cheers.
 
My status still hasn't changed - stuck at "Processing Item". The Ship Date is still "Ship by Oct 14". Has anyone's order changed at all?
 
Same same same same same same same same

i ordered within 10 minutes of the site being up, and still processing
 
Apparently many of the American orders have already shipped. I really do hope we can get it on the 14th...

Does anyone have experiences with the iPhone 4 to share?
 
Ordered my 64GB white at roughly 12:00 P.M. central time on October 7th. Order is still processing.

"Ships in 1-2 weeks, Delivers 24 Oct - 31 Oct"

I'd sure be a happy camper if it decided to show up a little earlier than that. ;)
 
White 16gb and a Black 32gb still "processing" and I'm in Canada.

I did speak with an apple representative on the phone a couple times this week. One of them said that being in Canada, we will receive the phone by the 14th.. the "ships by" is just for extra cushioning (as he put it)... However the other representative just said we could receive it a day earlier, the day of, or a day later. Seems like the info they're giving out is slightly inconsistent. Hope we all get our phones by Friday as that is what the 1-800 number tells me!
 
Same in Germany - 16GB white + 32GB black

Same here in Germany for a 16GB white + 32GB white. Still "Processing items".

Order was placed in the first minutes after Apple store came up.

BTW: I didn't notice any wait during the order. Apple site was responding fast without any delay.
 
I ordered a couple of minutes after 7pm (AEDT) and have an October 14 "Ships by" date. My CC has definitely been charged - in fact, the amount came out on October 8, as per my internet banking. I'm also still on "Processing Items" and must. stop. checking. every. two. minutes.
 
I ordered mine immediately after the store came back up. Tried that tracking thing mentioned on the first page. Thats what I came up with.. says to be shipping on Oct. 13 - Oct. 18... :(

I ordered online from the Apple Store Australia at ADST 6.20pm on pre-order day. Mine still says "iPhone 4S 32GB White Ships: Ships by October 14th". Can't wait for us Aussies!.
 
Ordered 32GB iPhone 4S in white within 10 minutes of the store opening, and I am on "Processing Items Ships: Ships by October 14th". Not particularly concerned though, although in my rush to put the order through, I didn't chose Apple care so if the phone is not here by 15 Oct, I may pick one up from the local Apple Store anyway and cancel the online order, so that I can sort out Apple care also. Unless I can add it subsequently?

On pressing View/Edit order, I see the following which MAY be of interest and indicate that there is a good chance of receiving our phones on launch day? "Method: Fast Ship (EMEA)"

I ordered 64GB Black within half an hour through apple store and it says, "shipping on or before 14th" in France. I wish I get it sooner.
 
It seems that outside of the US, there hasn't been any cases of orders being processed and prepared for shipment.

On one hand it's somewhat relieving to see we're all in the same boat, but also disappointing to think maybe we won't get it this Friday... :eek:

Does anyone have experiences like this with the iPhone 4 preorder? Did you get it on the launch day?
 
on a sidenote, i did not get the Apple Care+ option while ordering the phone online, did any of you had this option available, can we get it from Apple Store later?

My understanding is, that AppleCare+ is at the moment US only. I could only select "normal" AppleCare during my oder process.
 
I ordered a black 64gb as soon as the preorder pager went up. My order also is "processing". I'm in Sydney Australia. Not too worried though. I pre-ordered both the iPad and ipad2 and they both arrived on launch day. If you were in the first batch of pre-orders, I would be pretty confident that you will receive your phone on launch day...based on previous experience.
 
got the white 64gb at 12:45am PST--which is right when the apple store opened + time to place an order-- and it still says Processing Items, ships by oct 14.

Hoping to get it on launch day.

Mine says "Standard Shipping" and not fast shipping like someone mentioned. What about u guys?

Does anyone know if you can add normal AppleCare subsequently? In my haste to order, I neglected to tick the AppleCare box

Would also be interested if anyone who's are on "ships in 1-2 weeks" if they can see ""Method: Fast Ship (EMEA)" when they click on Order View/Edit

Since we didn't get the iPhone 4 in Australia the same day as the US, so im not to sure about this one.

You can add Apple Care at any time within 1 year from purchase.
