So what's the consensus on this? Will Apple really get these to us by the 19th? I don't want this to another 17" MBP debacle, though I did get extremely lucky and have it shipped the same night.

Trying to decide whether I should order online right now or go to the store on Friday.

Order from apple.com.

It's guaranteed delivery BY the 19th.
 
Listen Debbie Downer, Apple cannot change the delivery date now.

You're in Brown Town Now.

Good Luck then..........
 
Just got back from lunch and it finally says prepared for shipment! I'm so relieved. I was getting a little worried since it seemed like everyones was shipping but mine.
 
This is the 3rd go around with iPhones, and I am shocked, SHOCKED, people didn't expect this. Apple is always going to keep 90% of the phones and give the other 10% to AT&T. I bet you will be able to walk in the Apple store, no matter how long the line, almost all weekend before they run out. Conversely, I bet most AT&T stores will get 10 phones or less, each.

3rd time is a lesson charm folks: ORDER FROM APPLE!!

Didn't expect what? I'm seeing a lot of Apple people not getting updates either, and no one has yet to not get a phone as promised.
 
I just spoke with Apple, and explained about the 17th delivery date, and asked if it was accurate, and they said yes. I asked if it will be held until the 19th, and they said the date on the tracking number is correct.

if only i had a delivery date of the 17th. damn you all!

ha

That's from the other thread.. so it seems whoever gets it on the 17 is really getting it on the 17 :)
 
Checks e-mail for tracking number...see's new message :eek:...its just President Obama giving me an update on health care. :(

Hey, the same thing happened to me! I was like gtfo, Mr. President. Your healthcare plan does not interest me. Unless it comes with iPhones.
 
I say everyone relax. They said by the 19th....you'll have it by the 19th. If early, YAY to where you got it.
 
FINALY!!! it says Prepared for Shipment. I ordered it June 10th I was getting worried. Has anyone else from NYC have theirs status change when ordering from Apple.

AT&T stores to get the shaft on iPhones.

It's freaking Tuesday. Apple could MAKE my iPhone and ship it and still have it here before Friday. Chill out. I could order today and still get one Friday.
 
So are all the 16GB's now changing from Not Yet Shipped to "Prepared for shipment"?

Because everybody's whose iPhones are in China, and have a tracking number have 32GB right?


Is this a theory?
 
Ordered mine via Apple at 9:30 AM on the 15th (yesterday):

IPHONE 3G S BLACK 32GB-USA
MB717LL/A

Just switched over to "Prepared for Shipping", I have no doubt that I will receive it on the 19th as promised.

Order from Apple, folks....

No, because mines a 32GB and it just changed to "Prepared for Shipment." I'm pretty sure it has to do with time zones.

I'm not sure if the ones in China are 32gb's or not but i ordered a 16gb on the 10th and my status changed this morning to prepared for shipment.
 
After prowling this forum for 2 days, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and share my experience...

Ordered iPhone 3G S White 16GB at 6:30 PM PDT on June 8, 2009

Status changed from "Not yet shipped" to "Prepared for Shipment" today (June 16) at 12:30 PM CDT.

No tracking number yet... I'll subscribe to the theory that an early batch is already on American soil... but maybe not. As long as it's here by Friday (which I'm not worried about at all), I don't care how it gets here.

Apple told me some phones are already in the US. This is why some people are getting shipping notices (they're coming from China) and some us aren't (they're coming from within the US).
