Well, Apple took the money out when I ordered it, then put it back.
Then on the 13th, they took it out again, but dated it for the 14th. Not yet shipped.
On the 14th, they moved the date back to the 15th. Not yet shipped, again.
Yesterday, they moved the date to the 16th (keeping it one day ahead of the current date). Not yet shipped.
Then, last night, at midnight, the status went to Prepared for shipment and the money was gone.
This morning, the money is completely back in my account and it is not yet shipped again. My account also does not indicate an impending transaction with Apple at all anymore.
1 step forward, 2 steps back.
Ordered June 30th, scheduled to ship the 22nd.
Depending on this Apple press conference, I may cancel my order.
