I woke just before 3 AM here on the east coast to order an iPhone 5S for my wife. (We take turns ... this was the year she gets the new phone.)
At 2:59 I checked the Apple Store app on my iPad - it had been offline just a moment before - and it was up and running. I chose the 32G gold AT&T phone and very quickly sailed through the verification process - unlike in years past when that was a bottleneck.
To make a long story short, my confirmation email has a time of 3:03 AM. Shipping is shown as 1-3 business days with an expected delivery of Sept. 30 - October 2 (standard shipping).
For those of you who ordered online ... what was your experience like? Did you have any slow server issues ... especially at verification?
