In Vancouver, just received update on iPhone, shipped and delivery date has now changed to Oct 14th, before 12:00 pm.

It said Oct 19th before so this looks a lot more accurate. I imagine it'll change for the aussies too.

Good god, i hope your right, all my ranting for nothing possibly :p

This is awesome news!! is it possible to get screenshots?

There ya go boss!
 
Got my email about an hour ago, and it's telling me it should be delivered by the 19th. What's the point in pre-ordering? I will just go down to one of the telco stores tomorrow and get one. I shall be offering Apple some of my frustration about pre-orders. If the UK can get them on time, surely we can in Australia.

I'm happy to be proved wrong, but I don't see the point in offering pre-orders if you can get one a week earlier walking into Telstra, Virgin, Optus etc.

We can get pumped up over small things, trust me.... hahahahaa.. I will be extremely happy if this turns out the same for us in Aus, i am taking the day off so i don't want to have to take another off just because no one else will be here to sign for it and i really don't want it to go back to the TNT warehouse.
 
Not fair, Aus gets it next Thursday.......... Never pre-ordering again, and yes i ordered the second the store went live, and im even paying A$999 for this bloddy thing.

In Sydney (Aus), ordered within minutes of the preorder page finally going live on the Australian store, and I've got listed delivery of 26 October...! White 64gb. Given that there wasn't much of a line at the George St Apple Store when I cruised by today, I should have just bought one in-store tomorrow...
 
Looks like AUS is the only country that is missing out on launch day (at the current time)

I wonder if it's because we're 24 hours ahead? Apple specifically staged the preorder opening so that we were all on the same dated day (ie: 6pm in Aus, EST, rather than midnight or 8/9am). Although other posters have said that these delayed deliveries haven't happened with previous preorders...? :confused:

They probably won't open preorders again in the future so they can have large lines running out of the retail stores like the iPhone 4...

oh, well, no new toy this weekend!
 
I'm in Canada and mine still says 19th :(

Checked UPS and it doesn't even have "Estimated Delivery Date" or anything like that :S

We're 15 hours ahead of New York, i believe, not 24 :p
 
I'm in Canada and my UPS track doesn't have a scheduled date of arrival yet. But like everyone else's my Apple notification says the 19th. I'm in Guelph Ontario.
 
If you look at the language they use, this time apple have covered themselves...

SHIPPED BY 14 OCT 2011 soooo I suppose some/most won't get it on Friday
 
This gives you a reason to queue outside the store I suppose...
I always thought it was mad to queue outside a store when you can pre-order it for the same day!

If they don't guarantee release date as a delivery date, more a shipped by date more people will queue outside stores?
 
Looks like the West Coast guys in Canada are going to get theirs on launch day. Looks like Ontario will be next week.

Well that and I bought 30 seconds after it launched. I think F5ed about 500 times. Did anyone in Canada without an update on their tracking order within the hour?
 
I am in the UK and ordered on the 7th from Apple.
My status changed from processing to preparing for shipment overnight.
I am 99% confident that we will get our iPhones delivered tomorrow as long as the original confirmation of the order said "Ships by October 14" and not a later date :)
 
Same here! Fingers crossed!!!!
