It won't change to shipped until Thursday, then Apple will email you a tracking #. Happened with my iPhone 5 pre-order. Apple automatically will upgrade you to Next-day Air if you've got a launch date confirmation email (9/19).

No worries!! Mine still says preparing for shipment too. It WILL get to you in 2 days :cool::apple:

Thats so cool! Thanks for the reassurance.


I'm beaming with excitement and impatience already.
 
Ordered a 64gb silver @ 1:51 AM CST on the 12th & received a confirmation almost immediately. At 2:09 AM CST I received the Order Status.

In both cases, emails confirmed 14-21 day shipping estimates of 10-02 to 10-13.

If I were a betting man, I'd say a launch day package is not in the stars for me. Good news: more time to shop for a case;)

thought this was 6 + ONLY....
 
Finally got my tracking number this morning... delivers 9/19 via next day air saver from the states.

Still don't see my phone and S/N in the get support page though.
 
Ok.. Yeah .. Like everyone else on the planet.. a little patience wins out...

My dates were also 10/2 - 10/13 on Friday at 12:30am PST..

and just now status changed to shipped...via Fedx... delivery 9/19

will get mine on Friday ... good thing too... will be taking my 4s for my discount ... whew ... done and done
 
Did anyone else lose the charge from Apple on your credit card?

I have a certain amount of credit I can spend and it obviously went down due to the pending charge. Logged into today and found it to be back to the normal credit amount I get every month. Transaction doesn't even show.

I found my UPS label and still says preparing for shipment. Interesting.
 
I'm still "processing". T-Mobile contract free 6+. I'm starting to wonder if only the carrier phones are shipping on time/early. I still haven't seen a single person with the contract free iphone report an earlier ship date than 10/1-10/6.
 
Yep. It's funny - I have come to know Apple as a tech company with a good track record on many issues, but the one thing where Apple is not just good, great or amazing but absolutely perfect is getting things delivered to customers on the launch date. :D
What other company, worldwide, do you know of that has as much demand for a new product as Apple's iPhones? There is no comparison base, my friend. Apple is 'alone' in this phenomenon - because there is NO company that has new product demand like Apple.. MAAAAYBE -the 'Beanie Babies' a couple of decades ago at Christmas time. Some 'Christmas time' new toys have this kind of cult following - but NO other tech product.
 
Ordered Iphone 6s+ at 3:45 EST
Silver 6+64GB
Had the estmiated date of 10/3 group
Just checked and it has shipped wanted to let everyone know.

No one will get it 'early'. I've only seen this once.. with iPhone 5.. a couple people received end of day Thursday and we saw screen shots on 'leak' forums. But didn't happen for any other phone. Earliest screen shots we'll see will be from California, USA as they will get their deliveries first around the world.

XBOX One and Playstation 4 launch day was brutal, an absolute rush of millions of sales just like this. Sony and Microsoft had just as many issues at launch as Apple, if not more.

I agree, of course. And I am not saying that Apple is better than any other company in that regard. I am just saying that they have never ever let me down when it came to delivering on time. :) And I find the amount of logistics involved in doing a product launch that well quite amazing.

By "early", I simply mean that the ship date is estimated. I highly doubt that we'll get it 8/1. 7-10 days shipping from the day I ordered would mean it would ship this Friday and there's no way It's going to take another full week to get here once it's shipped. I suspect 10/1-10-6 orders will actually arrive around the last week of September.

Still, it would be nice to at least see my order change to "prepare for shipment".

My debit card went from pending charge, and was released back to my account as of this morning. Both phones are in the support profiles, both say preparing for shipment, but just one has a tracking number in My UPS
 
I'm still "processing". T-Mobile contract free 6+. I'm starting to wonder if only the carrier phones are shipping on time/early. I still haven't seen a single person with the contract free iphone report an earlier ship date than 10/1-10/6.

I got my order email on Sep 12 4:27am CST for the iPhone 6 Plus 128gb Space Gray T-Mobile and I have a 10/1-10/6 delivery date too. I was wondering if maybe everyone got that date and no one got a 9/19 delivery date for the T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus. I was hoping it would update today but my order is still processing so any hope for a 9/19 delivery day ends today.

Was it always 9/19 or was it also 10/1-10/6 when you first placed the order?
 
Processing items

Yeah, see I don't get that. I ordered within seconds of when store.apple.com came back up. I just assumed that all of the contract free 6+ phones were 10/1 ship dates.

Lame. Not sure how I could have possibly ordered any faster.
