Any updates from the "7-10 days" or later groups?

I guess we need to wait until the 27th to start getting updates, I already bought my case and screen protector, I'm so anxious.

Next year, I will buy through the app, I started ordering 1202 and finished at 1216, a couble minute earlier and I could have the phone already.
 
There must be only one UPS truck delivering all 5s in the SF Bay Area, My delivery status was updated to be delivered today (25th), but it is now 9:24 pm & I have lost all hope of getting my phone today. ****** you UPS for getting my hopes up.
 
Bought a 16gb gold one one on tmobile.com 9/20 but hasn't come yet so I just placed an order for a space grey one on apple.com.
 
My 64gb gold AT&T just updated to shipped at Apple.com. Received confirmation email at :04 on the 20th. Tracking info not available yet but at least it is headed my way. :D

Update: email says Oct 2nd for delivery.

Hi everyone - we are still missing the 16/32 Gold for at&t and all of Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and the worldwide phones - Canada, Australia, UK and so on.

If anyone missed the original post or has received their serial number or phone then could you kindly fill it in on the sheet above? Thanks so much!

I can confirm the 32GB Verizon gold is correct.

Just updated GOLD 16 & 64 for VZW.

Hope it helps!
 
Hi, I have a "processing" order with apple online. Can I confirm with someone here that if I happen to walk into an apple store and find a gold phone that they can allow me to purchase it right there and cancel my online order? I used an AT&T upgrade for this.
 
Got a notice from Sprint that my 16GB Space Gray 5S will arrive tomorrow. That wasn't too bad, one week from ordering. Cost me $99 switching from Verizon.

For me, when I canceled my online order through Apple my upgrade was back in about 10 minutes.
 
Do AT&T orders require signatures when shipped via USPS? (US Postal Service, not UPS, just to be clear.) My order for two 5S' is due to be delivered on Saturday (I have a tracking number) and I'd hate to have to wait until Monday if I'm not around when it arrives.

As long as it doesn't pass to the "preparing to ship" stage, you can cancel it, and apparently the upgrade comes back pretty quick, especially if you call AT&T.
 
Hi folks - similar to last year, I have put together a spreadsheet where you can put the last four characters of your serial number from your iPhone 5S.

I'm requesting this, because the last four characters of an Apple serial are the model number of your new device, and the guy who runs the chipmunk.nl Apple Serial Number Decoder service needs these characters in order to be able to tell you (and everyone after you) what model of phone a certain serial number is.

HINT: If you ordered your phone from Apple but do not yet have it, and it has either already shipped to you (or is just about to be shipped) you can go to Apple's My Support Profile, and log in with the Apple ID that purchased the phone(s) from them, and you can see your serial number before you even have the phone in your hand!

So, without further ado, will you please kindly head over to the spreadsheet and put in the last 4 characters of your serial number, if they are not already on the sheet? Thank you!

Just updated GOLD 16 & 64 for VZW.

Hope it helps!

It really does. Thank you! Anyone have a Space Gray or Silver for Verizon? How about the rest of the carriers?
 
If you're in the 7-10 days group you probably won't see a change until next week. It could be as bad as next Friday.

If you aren't looking a Gold, I'd take my chance at a local Apple store. But that's if you have a local Apple store.

I can definitely confirm on the non-Gold portion. Phoned a few local stores, and they had stock... but only in Space Gray.

I'm hoping the Gold won't take till next Friday... that would be murder.

I have gold ordered. My luck
 
:D ordered 2 iphone 5s from AT&T last friday addded $10 for 3 day shipping, received it yesterday, followed the AT&T activation instructions, after 15mins everything works great. Very impressed how easy to setup. ;):D
 
On the off chance I went to Grand Central NYC and they had LOTS of stock this morning.

I arrived 9.50am in a queue of about 30. Got my ticket immediately for an AT&T 64 gigs space gray. I paid full price (they had no problem with this). Picked up phone and was out the door 10.10 am. Amazing.

The funny thing is that they closed the line a few people after me and they had a lot of tickets/stock left over.
 
"Out for delivery." Here's to hoping UPS accepts my pre-sign form!

For others: 32 gb silver AT&T - ordered 00:21 launch day from the Apple online store.

On a related note----Apple has a pretty sweet shipping deal with UPS. This is a remarkable movement from China to Korea to Alaska to Kentucky to Texas in the same day:

Been using my new 5S 64GB (AT&T) for about 24hrs. Totally awesome, and a massive upgrade to my 4S. Very, very happy.
