Just walked into a Verizon store 20 minutes ago & walked out with a white/silver 32GB 5S and blue 5C for the wife. Guess we lucked out not needing preorders/waiting in line. I like the 5S so far with the little time I've had to tinker with it. Can't seem to set the Touch ID up so that it only uses a fingerprint and no passcode though. Anyone else encountering this?
 
ATT Premier

For the record, ATT Premier SUCKS!! That being daid, my order that was placed at 6:00 am is scheduled for delivery via FEDEX ala TX to Florida on Monday! Originally, said would ship end of October, Followed by Beginning of October. So yea, I'm stoked!!:D

Lemme guess. You ordered the Space Gray?
 
Just wanted to chime in with all the other "I got my 5s" folks! I had originally gotten up at 2am Friday morning and placed my order for a silver 16GB 5s via the Apple website with no problems. I was in the 1-3 days group, but I'm going to be out of town next weekend and really wanted to have the phone before then. Plus, I sold my 4S over a month ago and it has been tough being without my smartphone! :)

So, I got to looking at local Best Buys' availability online and a store in Oklahoma City about 30 minutes from me showed they still had quite a bit of variety. (Basically everything except the 64GB devices and absolutely no gold ones.) I was pretty skeptical and didn't have much real hope, but we decided to give it a try anyway. We got there right at opening, walked in (no lines) and within 20 minutes I was walking out with the exact iPhone I wanted! Woohoo!!

The whole process went very smoothly. I cancelled my Apple order using my husband's phone and it gave me back my upgrade eligibility almost immediately. (I'm on Verizon.)

My prediction is that we will all be shipped by Monday and we will get delivered on Thurs and Friday. :D

A shipment notification from Apple popped up in my email this AM but it was only for the case I ordered with the 5S. Bummer. :(

I ordered mine at 4:31 AM Friday. Still hoping the shipment is soon and that your estimate is right!

Ordered 32GB gray model for AT&T from the Apple mobile store.
 
Ordered a 16GB Gold 5s yesterday in the ATT store at 4:30 PM EST. I saw the 10/21 - 10/30 shipment date then about 4 hours ago got an email saying it has been shipped. Tracking number is not working though. Guess I can wait another 24hrs to see if it updates.
 
7th - 10th of October delivery? REALLY?

Having ordered my Gold 16GB iPhone 5s practically at 12:01AM on the dot here in the UK, I was shocked to see my iPhone was expected to be delivered between the 7th and the 10th of October. I was led to believe I was securing myself a unit from stock which they HAD in depots ready for dispatch. Why would it take them almost two weeks to send the device to me? Seeing other people get theirs from stores and stuff is making me really iPhone broody! I just want my iPhone! Anyone think it won't actually take this long?
 
Ordered a 16GB gold at 12:02 and I'm in the 1-3 9/30-10/03 group. Has anyone who is in the same boat as me had their device(s) shipped yet?
 
Ok ordered gold iphone 5s will ship in 7-10 days but when I called to ask a question to apple the gave me free expedited shipping and one of there new iphone 5s case my choice of color for free which they due cost $39.00. And got confirmation that my case just shipped.

Please! We all know this is an untruth. Must be Saturday.
 
Curious to know if anyone who ordered from Apple in US and has the 1-3 day ship time has seen movement yet. My order still shows "processing" with the 1-3 day time frame. I am thinking movement on Monday or perhaps Sunday if they come from China.

Noone's has.
 
No one who ordered from Apple had there 5s ship yet.

I ordered my case around an hour ago and it already shipped.
 
Great news!

Guys, I ordered on the AT&T premier website on 12:01 and completed by 12:02. I just received an email with tracking information. My 32GB champagne is scheduled to be delivered this Monday 09/23. For those wondering, I ordered it unlocked / full price. Hopefully some one you will start receiving the shipping emails soon...

I got a shipping notice...for my case.

Why is a signature required for a case??

Sounds like you got better shipping on your case than I did. Mines coming fedex smartpost. Ugh

I should have gone this route. The 7-28 days shipping estimate they gave in the premiere portal threw me off.

I agree, it threw me off as well with the 7-28 days to ship. However at the moment, I'm like what the heck might as well just order it and get it over with. Overall I'm glad I did.
 
Got my 32GB Space Gray iPhone 5s (Sprint) from Best Buy Mobile after Apple sold out of their stock within 10 minutes of opening. Walked over to Best Buy right across from the Apple Store in the mall, no line, no wait, no fuss.

Very happy, HUGE upgrade from my 4S!
 
Ordered a Space Gray 5s direct from Apple last night. No hold on the card as of yet.

EDIT: BTW, this is the first time I've ordered an iPhone through Apple. I've always gone though AT&T before.

Ordered two of the space gray 32gb models through AT&T's website yesterday morning. Received an email that afternoon with a 10/1 to 10/10 ship date. Just checked status and it shows shipping today overnight.
 
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 had to cancel my order (from apple) because my local Apple store had the one I wanted in stock. The apple rep told me it could take AT&T up to 30 minutes to clear the upgrade. I used the AT&T upgrade eligibility checker and I was back able to upgrade after about 20 minutes.
 
It's been my experience from three iphones and two macbooks that everything on store.apple.com ships before the estimated date.
 
I was 12th in line and the guy ahead of my got the very last gold ATT phone so I ordered on apple.com instead for "october" shipping.

Here's hoping it ships early october :(
