I hope so! Trying to be patient but failing miserably :)
Me, too! I'm very impatient. I'm wondering how long the "preparing to ship" phase will last now that the release date is tomorrow. I'm hoping it doesn't last as long as others I've seen.

I’ll just take the prep to ship at this point lol at least that will guarantee you won’t be waiting until the middle of October. 😂 I’m looking forward to seeing the new dates people in this status receive.

I did (17th) I ordered at about 9:58 central. Everyone on here that has a status change was earlier, so it looks like Apple is processing these in order, hopefully they reach the 10 am hour tomorrow 🤞

I've seen someony who got the confirmation mail 51 minutes after launch with shipping dates Oct 6-11 and whose order status changed to Preparing to Ship a few hours ago (iPhone 13 Pro Max). I've ordered mine 2 minutes later and its status still hasn't changed yet.

I've been stalking My UPS Choice since the status changed to preparing ship this morning at 10:57am....nothing there. I've been reading that the shipment will show up there prior to Apple updating the order status to "shipped". Maybe, we will all get the news we're wanting tomorrow. As for now, I have finished my apple.com and My UPS Choice stalking for today and will resume at 0300 when I get up to go to work.LOL Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us to receive updates in the morning...I swear this is like being a child on the night before Christmas.....

yeah hoping for movement on mychoice tomorrow so it can make some progress before the weekend. If i had to guess we'll see our phones by the end of next week, but thats based on nothing.
 
So when exactly did you all see movement? I got my confirmation email from Apple at 7:51 central time. Haven’t see any changes since then.
