This is so strange and doesn;t look like anyone elses shipping details from other threads...This is what show up when I search by reference on UPS with my order number minus the last two digits...

My preorder is still processing but I was able to reserve one for pick up in the Apple Store for today...!

If everything goes well will just cancel my order...!
I am trusting the Apple store, I cancelled my pre order just now. Worse case scenario is they don't have it, I get a gift card for my troubles and most likely get the phone I want in the next day or so. Still way before my order....

Odd that it's stopping through Narita, but at least it's on the move! :)

Was your status "Shipped" or "Preparing for Shipment"?
 
128gb JB Plus AT&T
PFS about 15 hours.
Email confirmation :14 am
I believe Monday or Tuesday 10/4 iPhones will ship for Friday delivery.
 
Why am I scared to cancel my pre order that is stuck in processing, now that I have a confirmed in store reservation for the phone I want?

Well done! Hope you enjoy your new phone later todat!
 
I felt the same way but since my phone showed no signs of changing to shipped anytime soon, I figure if for any reason Apple screws me over with my reservation not being available (worst case scenario), it appears as if phones are arriving to the stores on a daily basis now, so I figure I'd still be able to snag one in some store between now and the time it would take for my pre-order to arrive.
Just cancelled my pre order. Your post made so much sense. Can't wait till 11!

This is probably someone else's phone. You have the same numbers except the last two.

That's what I keep saying. The key thing is you need to be in "Preparing for Shipment" status

Still in processing but just reserved one for 4pm today. I want to see what everyone else's experience is before I cancel my order. :)
 
To those of you reserving and cancelling preorders good luck and if you can grab your phones today enjoy them! My order has been in PFS for almost 36hrs so there's no way of cancelling now even if I wanted to lol but hopefully it ships within the next day or so and I get it by the end of the week. I've been patient this far may as well stay the course lol
 
Same plane for my watch! Weird layover in Japan
I don't think this is my device, I think it's someone elses watch, not my iphone. I also don't live in Santa Monica, CA. So I am pretty sure the order number of mine was the same to someone elses without the last two digits
 
Ughhhh. My local Apple Store has 128gb black + in stock but I can't cancel because it's preparing for shipment. I'm so upset lol

Something to think about. If Apple somehow doesn't have the phone you want, you will get it tomorrow or the next day with the amount of stock they are getting in. Still faster than the pre order. I cancelled mine in fear of it switching to PFS before I get there! Plus, Apple will do you a solid and give you a gift card for your troubles if anything should happen.
 
I'm able to get reservation today for Matte black,but screw that I'll wait ,my jb is pfs so shouldn't be too much longer
That's how I feel lol I can go get a matte black where I live but for one my order is already PFS and two I don't want matte black I want my JB. If I wanted matte I would've preordered that to begin with lol so waiting is what I'll continue to do lol
 
Anyone have movement on October 10 to 17th date?

I have...just got charged and went PFS.

Sorry about this being the wrong thread...been lurking this one.

mine hasn't gotten any updates. i hope one soon. I love trackign it

that said, apple stores have them now....good thing I preordered at midnight...oh wait...
 
Any store having stock before fulfilling 3am EST pre orders annoys the living hell out of me. Apple should divert orders just like they did for the IUP orders.
