It's not rocket science......16 GB is in HIGH DEMAND across all carriers both domestically and internationally. This is why 16 GB devices are pushed back further and the 32 and 64 are not.
 
According to?

My Verizon business rep. He said the majority of the orders that Verizon has received are 16's. He actually told me that he could get me a 32 or 64 GB before the 16's that I ordered last week.

Supply and Demand. It's safe to say Apple underestimated the demand.
 
Ordered from Apple.com Sept. 16th 11:00am central time.
Iphone AT&T 5 Black 32GB
Shows Delivers Oct 10-16 by standard shipping
Status still shows Processing Items.

Mine just went to preparing for shipment guys and gals. Others should start to see theirs change now too. Hopefully.

AT&T white 64GB

ordered 9/16

expected Oct 10-16

Still Processing

Mine just changed to preparing for delivery!

I thought I would get an email from Apple about the change of status but I had to check with the Apple app.
 
Has anyone been able to go on UPS.com or FEDEX.com and use their account phone number to track by reference number and get a tracking number?

I'm wondering how long until we can track it by reference even though apples site still shows preparing for shipment.

post if you get any results.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm hoping the "preparing for shipment" phones already shipped but it doesn't look like it so far.
 
I've been stuck on preparing for shipment for two days...no way this phone gets here before the 16th...that will make it a full month since I ordered...pretty lame by Apple, especially since people in Germany that ordered after me (same model ordered from apple.com) have already received their phones...:rolleyes:
