That's weird. Not trying to make it worse but I would be worried as well. I was charged for both that I pre ordered 2 hours after 3am. Hmmm

Yesssss, mine says preparing for shipment on apple order status. With the 9/19 date on both of them. ****ing awesome.

See this is exactly why I'm worried. And I try to get apple on the phone about it and they have no answers for me and are of no help whatsoever

The order I placed for myself was at 3:47am and my friends which was one of those "reserve" deals was completed at 11:07am.

I have an order with AT&T as well as apple for the same phone number though both are full price no commitment and the AT&T order was placed first so that maybe an issue but hopefully I can cancel it so there is no conflict
 
I would not worry every year this is the case someone who ordered after someone else had the prepared for shipping first and I still received my iphone on release day
 
That does make me feel a bit better. But all anxiety will be released once I get that email haha
 
It won't appear on there until your status changes to 'Preparing to Dispatch' as this indicates that your phone has been finalised and is ready to ship to you. I wouldn't worry.

I'm not worried. I'm confident that Apple will have my phones at my door sometime on the 19th. In fact my husband's 16gb AT&T 6+ has changed to preparing for shipment. Just waiting on my 16gb Sprint 6+ to change now.

I hope that you get your phone man. And hope it gets charged and processed fast.

Do you guys know if we can go to fedex or ups centers to pick up our shipment? I ask that because I live like 15 minutes from them. I could track it when they get to the DC and just go pick them up if possible.
 
just saw that my 6+ ordered from app is preparing for shipment.. YES

Wife's 6 still processing
 
Our 6+'s have gone from processing to preparing for shipment this afternoon.

Friday can't get here nearly quick enough.

In the UK, you usually need to wait for it to be delivered first. However, with my iPad I went anyway and they did let me have it after I asked kindly ;)
 
WOOT I just got my first preparing for shipment.

iPhone 6 16GB Silver AT&T

my order (at&t 6+ space grey) moved into 'preparing for shipment' status but delivery date unchanged at 10/13 to 10/22

Is the scheduled delivery date always accurate, or can the phone sometimes arrive much earlier (especially when it is already 'preparing for shipment')?
