The "I just bought/ordered/got/shipped my new iPhone 5s/5c" thread, [Merged]

https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/18396360/

I ordered expedited late Sunday, 11-17, it changed to shipped on 11-20 :)

UPS gave me an estimate of Friday, but they just changed it to Monday -_-. It arrived in Louisville early yesterday, then Hapeville a few hours later (early Friday). I'm about 30 minutes from Hapeville but I need to wait 3 days to get it???

Apple has always promised November 26, I guess to anticipate for UPS overpromising (they initially promised 11-22).

Why don't you get a replacement instead of returning and waiting for 7.1? I haven't read about this issue before and I don't know anyone with this issue. My iPhone doesn't have it.

Many people have the problem:

I just don't want to be stuck with the phone in case it won't get fixed by an update. After 14 days I cant get a refund anymore. Did you ever play Pocket God or Amateur Surgeon for a while? For me it always crashed the phone, although both games got updates some days ago. Since so many people have the problem I doubt a replacement can fix it. I will just wait for reports about 7.1 and if it's fixed get it again...

What I meant is that not all iPhones have the problem. A replacement might not have the problem.

Actually I think it is a software problem... Did you try playing games like Pocket God for a while? For me and many other people it always crashes with low memory warnings then. Something like this can't be a hardware problem.
 
Last Friday evening I just got a gold iPhone 32GB at AT&T store. I really not used to feel so light. Also I got free iWork apps I need for my iPad! :apple:
 
I'm afraid there is nobody at home tomorrow when the package arrives...

I ordered a 64GB 5S on Friday morning through T-mobile. Paid for Saturday delivery and got it Saturday morning at 9AM. Been loving my iPhone! Downloaded the free apps on to my iPad.
 
I called ups and spoke to someone about my package not being delivered. Told me to contact apple and i did right now and they told me tht according to them my phone should be here today even though ups said out for delivery thursday. Told me to call tomorrow if it didnt get here today. Feeling hopeful
 
Where is it?

I ordered my Gold 32gb on October 11 from ATT. I still don't have it even tho it is in stock in all the ATT stores around me and online. It really sucks! I called ATT and there is nothing they can/will do!

Theres one thing I learned from owning every iPhone model since 2007:

Never order online. You will get one much faster if you go to a store and just buy one.

I did order my 5S Friday morning and paid for Saturday Delivery. Got it Saturday morning at 9AM. Didn't order from Apple, never will.
 
As of yesterday, my 32GB Gold 5s was in Memphis TN. FedEx says it should be out for delivery by 3pm today.

It's going to be a long day lol

Btw - I have a 16GB black mist iPhone 5 listed in the marketplace if anyone is looking to purchase one

Ordered a sim-free Gold 5s 16GB on Sunday night, status changed to Preparing for shipment on Monday night. Expecting it a little earlier than the Dec 09-16 estimate. Also got a free beige leather case and 2-3 day shipping for the 5s from Apple Customer Service.
 
Day 48 of waiting:mad:

Apple said to wait another day to call em back if does not arrive tomorrow. Then thanksgiving comes around so that will be an extra week to wait.

F ups!

How can one just lose track of a packagd and not see it during tracking

I ordered a sim-free space grey on Saturday and got an email today saying it shipped. How did you manage to get a free case!?

Mines shipped out yesterday also. Well, I called to ask if I got pay for faster shipping but they lady said she'll honor it for free and asked if I had any iPhone 5s case I had in mind to use for the phone.
 
Ordered my unlocked iPhone 5S 16 gb Space Grey 2 days ago (26 nov), got shipped today from ZhengZhou, China! So fast.
 
Just picked up a gold 32GB 5s on Wednesday at my local store. I've always alternated between white and black for each phone but decided to try something different this time around.

I got it last Monday. The gold is even more glorious than I thought it would be. Terrific phone.
 
After calling apple about ups losing my package they offered me a replacement phone with expedited shipping. Got an email earlier to stay tuned for a tracking number. I hope i get it this week and ups does not lose it this time. Apple said they will investigate the courier.
