Have to love this prepared article. The iPhone 5S is NOT unlocked on launch day from ANY of the options on the site.

The T-Mobile has been updated to only be "Contract-Free" crap. They will unlock it only on their terms.

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. It clearly states unlocked. Unlocked like T-Mo's iPhone has been. Not sure how you say they changed or altered anything. It's as plain english as can be.

VW here, started order at 1:58am cst and finished by 2:06, received email already. Ships by 9/24
 
Didn't know about the app. Kept refreshing on my laptop and it showed shipping in 7-10 right off the bat. I'm in Canada... and they think I'm slow... eh? :confused: :p
 
Got mine ordered! Silver and white, 64GB 5S, AT&T. E-mail confirms the 1-3 business day ship time, arrival September 30-October 1 by Standard Shipping. By far the quickest and smoothest ordering process I've ever had for an iPhone.

I almost DIDN'T get it though because I started too early while the store was still closed, and Safari kept showing me the "closed" graphic. I had to switch to Chrome to get in.

Welp, I'm going back to bed. :)
 
7-10 days already!

I checked out at 12:09, and shipping was already at 7-10 days for the 2 64GB Blacks!

Smooth checkout, but October 8-11 delivery! Totally unacceptable, Apple.

Wow, that was WAY easier to order than the 4S back in 2011. That was a nightmare.

Got my AT&T 64GB Black on the way. Took 3-4 minutes. Still unlimited data BABY!

Space Gray sir :)

Congratz! I'm still unlimited as well, we'll never be able to leave ATT.

I slept through the midnight launch on the 4S, not this time! 2/64 in space grey (we had to get different cases to differentiate.)

AT&T owns me because of that unlimited plan. Now if only they'd ramp up the LTE a little earlier around here (schedule to be on by the end of the year.)

Also have the "ships in 1-3 business days" and "arrives between sept. 30 and oct. 2" - would love some clarification on that... Cases arriving after, 10/1-10/3.

Done and DONE!! =]

By 3:08 I had my email order confirmation for a 64GB Silver one with 1-3 days shipping availability. WOOHOO!! :D :cool: SO glad I didn't decide to go sit outside the store HOPING the stores got a white 64 GB Silver one. went to 4 stores and all they got (IF they had 64 GB) was the space gray :(
 
got in right at 12 using the iPhone app.

ships in 1-3 business days. delivery between Sept-30 and Oct-2. gonna be the longest 11-13 days of my life. :(
 
AT&T upgrade eligibility servers are either being crushed or my account is fubared:

All I get from both the Apple web site and the iOS app is:

:mad:

(I'm over a year beyond my contract too)

Happened to me, too. My first order went through with just one "retry." The second took five or six, but it still went through.

Good luck!
 
Ordered a silver 64GB 5S via the Apple Store App starting at 3:01 PDT and got confirmation available to ship 1-3 business days! WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!

Thank you to MacRumors for suggesting the Apple Store App as the best way to order / pre-order!

So awesome! I'm going to have my 5S before, like, well, months from now, which is what I was dreading given severely constrained supply, especially for non-space grey and 64GB models.

*sigh of relief* AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
 
WTF I kept getting an error regarding AT&T and then i got this "we have an iphone for you" Your reservation number is _________. we cannot reach the system to process your order....we will contact you within 24 hours on how to process this order...

ugh AT&T!!!! anyone else get this??? this was through apple store :mad:
