iPhone 5s Orders Begin in the United States and Canada

Wow, after all the chatter I thought I'd be the only one ordering a 64gb; judging by the comments there are a bunch of us. I, too, got 64gb space gray, ordered in about a minute via the iPhone app. 1-3 days to ship.

Only problem is the shipping address must default to the one on file with your carrier, rather than the one you have set up in the app (I made sure ahead of time that my shipping address was to my work, but now it's shipping to my home, so I'll have to stay home from work to sign for it :mad:). Hopefully I can change it before it ships, but as of right now the only option is to cancel the order, and I'm not about to do that! Hmm.. I wonder if their call center will be slammed tomorrow.

Lesson learned - if you're using the app, double-check your shipping address!

Yea its easy to change, just go to bed, and change it on the account page after breakfast!

USA 5S -> 1-3 days
Canada 5S -> 7-10

Not feeling very appreciated as a Canuck right now.
If the USA store would sell to us up here I'd have ordered the unlocked T-Mobile phone and shipped it here. Instead I have to ship it to Portland and then have it forwarded here via Reship or Shipito. It'll still get here faster than ordering from the Canadian Apple Store.

What were you expecting? I'm sure if Apple was a Canadian company, you would get priority.
 
Got lucky with the iMac release last December and got it 10 days early. Apple tends to estimate long with their shipping. My bet is anybody who got in on the initial US online batch will have it by mid next week.
 
2 16gb white here. One of them unlimited data. Glad to see they haven't yanked that out from under me!
 
I was able to order at Midnight Pacific via the app. 32 Space Gray Sprint. So it says shipping 1-3 business days but I know in the past apple will deliver on the release day, so does this mean I could possibly get it on release day? This is my first online iPhone launch day purchase. Will it matter that I ordered additional accessories or will they ship separately. Just curious. Cheers to everyone who made it :p
 
32GB Gold AT&T

Ordered right at midnight Pacific Time
Available to ship: 7- 10 business days
Delivers: Oct 8 - Oct 11 by Standard Shipping

I only hope it ships earlier. I wonder if the color influences the delivery time?
 
I'M not having luck with t-mobile I got to the page where you checkout then it said missing invalid email but that was not the case as on my account they have the correct email and now my order is lost cause this all I get now

That's good to hear. My email confirmation says ships in 1-3 days.

I hope I get it before the 30th of Sept.

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. :)

If you insert Firefox for Chrome, that was exactly my experience, including the bed part. :)

Somewhat ironic that using Safari to try to buy the iPhone was not the best option because of it not refreshing. Hopefully no one missed out on getting the 1-3 day shipping timeframe because of this.
 
Anyone know how I can change the shipping address for my Apple store order? It defaults to our AT&T billing address, which is my family, on the other side of the country. This happened last year when I ordered my 5 and I was able to change it. But now when I go to edit the shipping address it says that the policy of the wireless carrier only allows the phone to be shipped to the billing address
 
smooth process at Apple.

32gig space grey 5S for me
16gig gold 5S for my wife
16gig green 5C for my son.

Apple once again got a good chunk of my money. Good for them. :D
 
I ordered through the app at exactly midnight. I got a 16GB white/silver and 32GB white/silver. Both for AT&T and both showing shipping dates in 1-3 days. The app is definitely the way to go. It worked flawless this year. As well as last year when I pre-ordered my iPhone 5.

yes, gold is most constrained as expected.
 
Pretty pissed. Got order through right when apple.com went live. Easy order process, no hiccups, pressed "order" with a 1-3 day delivery by Oct. 2, when the order finished processing, got the 7-10 day delivery. Not sure why... with the 5 had problems with the app. Guess I should have gone that route. :mad:
 
Apple Store Canada is now quoting "October" shipping for iPhone 5S

[EDIT] Gold version only.
 
As others have mentioned, Verizon went a little early, and thank goodness I was ready on both their site and Apple's, because on Apple's, I was set to order two phones at same time, but it only let me order one at a time, so I bailed on that and jumped to Verizon and now have a 16GB Gold for fiancee and 32 GB Space Gray for me that are supposed to ship by 9/24! Woo hop! Still undecided if I should check out store in a few hours :)
 
I still feel the excitement around the phone launch even though this time I am skipping the 5S just as I did the 4S. I'm afraid my days of upgrading to every new iPhone are over. I'm sure it's a great phone too. I won't miss checking my tracking number 20 times a day though, ;)
 
Used the app, snagged a grey 16gb 5S with no problem. Says it ships in 1-3 business days, delivers by Sept 30-Oct 2. Hurray. Good luck out there!
 
Looks like Sprint 16GB and 32GB Gold Just slipped to 7-10 days. Glad I got my order in 15 mins ago.

Wow.. that was fast to see those shipping times slip.

You guys have shipping in 1 to 3 days? Mine says 7 to 10 days. I'm in Canada, is that why?

Just a wild guess: smaller population compared to the US, so far fewer iPhones in stock at launch, and of course the US ALWAYS gets the largest amount of phones... its the primary market.
 
I started trying to order it when it was 1 - 3 days. But it came saying my account was canceled. Even though I was using LTE on that account at the time! I checked and I also have a zero balance. AT&T screwed me yet again.
