Our phones must be siblings, because I have the same 7:08 origin and 9:48 location scan. Mine just updated to show a 1:45 am departure from ZZ. :)

Our phones are practically twins! (they are being shipped on the same batch)

Yes, it is now 7:30pm on Saturday 9/20 in Zhengzhou so the phones left around 17-18 hours ago. Should be in AK in a few hours!
 
The crazy thing is my launch phone was in Louisville about 6 hours after it left China after you count all the time zone changes the flight crossed.
 
That was my post yesterday. I have an update today...

ZhengZhou, China 09/20/2014 1:45 A.M. Departure Scan

Local time in Zhengzhou is now 7:30pm (19:30) on Saturday 9/20. That means my phone departed Zhengzhou some 18 hours ago.

Should be arriving in AK in a few hours and then routed to Louisville! Horray!

i am trying to find our plane on flightaware.com

If the flight left 15-16 hours ago the flight is only about 9 hours so it has already landed.

So for those that have a 9/25 delivery I would assume it will be earlier? I don't see how it can take 5 business days to deliver if the phones are in the states already.

mine has stayed at 9/24 (while hubby's shipped a day later, is on the same departure flight as mine, says monday)
 
Well I was able to pick in store pickup this morning. Canceled my order that was still processing. I will have mine in a few hours. I was actually pissed and was going to scream at Apple. I think it is ridiculous that I was able to get in store pickup today while all of us woke up early and preordered. They dropped the ball. You should all try and see what your local Apple Stores have for stock. For reference I was able to get the Space Gray 64 Plus fro ATT. Best Wishes!!

Agreed! I just checked my local store inventory and they had pretty much all models of the iPhone Plus in stock to pick up!!! Oh well hopefully I get mine Monday.

ours have shipped so unable to cancel.... however checking the closest stores no 128gb sg att plus models anyways....
 
Mine still hasn't changed. It says it is going to be delivered on Wed. 24th. Still in China. Sucks because I could have already gotten one online and just picked it up at the store today in the morning. Last time I preorder it online. Next time I'll just wait a day and get it at the store.

Still no update :(

But following the person who posted last years shipping, we should get the phones on Monday. It will be interesting to see if there is a big bunch of updates tonight into tomorrow.
 
Wow, bummer. Woke up to no movement in over 24 hours. Still sitting in China. That delivery date of Sept. 25 is looking more and more realistic.

It's weird how some people have expedited shipping and some have express saver. I would think everyone would get the same service with Apple. Must be luck of the draw.

From what I've been reading factories are 24/7 to keep up with demand.
