Yes, most here are currently seeing this status, but it varies from product to product over the years. Perhaps all phones in NA are at brick and motor stores or carriers and that most if not all Appl.com orders are being built and will be on a plane (from China) early in the week. That is unusual.

Unless you paid extra, I don't think anyone delivers on the weekend except the post office and Fedex home (there are two fedex orgs). You may be able to call the number on the slip and pick it up at the local office (or have it delivered to a local UPS/Fedex store for you to pick up anytime the store is open).

That's a bummer. The ups customer care told me i cant collect it from the local ups store but i will have to collect it from the ups customer care only. That's a 100 mile trip. What if i dont pick it up at all? The iphone will be returned i will get the refund right? :|
 
Got in line at my AT&T store at 8:15 with about 15 people in front of me and left with a 32gb space gray at 10 am. The people in front of me were taking soooo long with the reps going over insurance, the Next plan, picking out accessories, etc. The line at the apple store, which was a short walk from the AT&T store, had about 150 people in line. I wonder if #150 at the apple store got through before me? :D
 
I ordered a gold 32GB AT&T phone at 12:01 PST on 9/20 and my order still says processing on Apple too. But, I just checked my credit card's pending charges and the full price of the phone started to pend this morning. I hope that means the order status will change on Apple soon.

Yeah, but my cc showed the full price instantly as soon as I ordered. This probably reflects your banks speed at entering the authorization and not Apple.

My cc was only showed a dollar authorization for each phone I ordered. Last night at 8pm est I received 3 emails from American Express saying that apple has just charged my card for each phone. This usually means it's being shipped. Most stores including apple don't charge until they're preparing to ship.

My cc also shows the full amount of purchase. Not sure if it started at $1 but I do recall in the past it used to do that and not show the full amount until it was about to be shipped. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I ordered right on the dot and got the 1-3 business days shipping, arrives 9/30-10/2 confirmation. 64gb space gray AT&T. It is still showing that same status. Hoping that as soon as someone's gets prepared for shipment they will post here right away. Waiting for the order status to update is like watching paint dry!
 
My prediction is that we will all be shipped by Monday and we will get delivered on Thurs and Friday. :D

Yes, I also have Amex and had the same experience. My husband's iPhone 5 last year didn't show the full price of the phone pending until two or three weeks after he ordered it and then it shipped right after that.
 
I just talked to my Apple store and they are expecting more phones later today. I have to run to the mall later anyhow so I may stop in. Anyone know how long it takes AT&T to give your upgrade back if you cancel an online order with Apple?
 
I have next day shipping on my 5s order. If that is true, it should ship Monday and I would get it Tuesday?

In past history, this meant that your phone was going to be slower to ship out so they gave you next day so it still hit the window. It's possible yours is coming from China and others are staged in the US (despite what they say if you call and ask).

Its Next Day once it clears customs in the US...

I ordered at 3:07 am est. Silver 16gb. People who ordered after me don't have next day and still have 1-3 day shipping like me.
 
Is everyone who ordered online from apple still at the processing stage?

Still in Processing here. Ordered at 12:00, confirmation email 12:01. I was updating iPhone, iPad and iMac...confirmation email on iPad before store would even load on iMac!
1-3 business days 64GB Gold.

First iPhone launch in the last 4 without a phone on launch day. Save the fanboy comments if your trolling, just love my iPhones! Hope they ship soon...

It could also have to do with where you are and the time in transit to your location. Apple has done similar things in the past to get people their stuff on time.
