Seems strange that they would have products sitting around for 2 weeks before they ship them. Especially when supplies are so constrained.

It's not strange, they do that to save money. They wait until enough people order iphones from the same lot so they ship it altogether instead of sending one by one or in small numbers.

On topic: Unfortunately mine is still being processed, ordered on the 25th and still nothing. Oh well...

We're in the same boat. Fingers crossed for shipping on Monday or Tuesday.

That migt be the case here, since i live in a small town in south texas. My phone should have been shipped the 28th at the latest but that didnt happened.

No it's not....because they ship thousands of phones in one order, its not just yours they have to fly from China to you it's thousands and since they rather send 130.000 iPhones on one plane to Europe/America/whatever country your in instead of 130.000 planes.
 
Apple should've offered a special $25 fee to get your phone in 3 days guaranteed. They make money and we get our phones faster. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

May be the case, it would cost them much much more if they sent some orders out instead of altogether.
 
hey,

just for your Information, my european (2nd wave - Austria) 64gb space gray iphone was just shipped, after about 18hours "preparing to ship"

16 GB Space Grey orderd on the 25th in Austria has just shipped.

16 GB Gold orderd on the same day is still being processed...

Has anyone orderd a 16GB Gold in one of the Second Wave countries and had it shipped?
 
This is so frustrating. I live in a Swiss city located merely a 45 minute drive away from the Austrian border and my order is still processing. Austria seems like a good country in terms of getting the iPhone 5s fast.

Such a first world problem, yet so annoying... :(

YAY indeed!

Have you tried entering your Apple order number on UPS to see if the tracking is showing?

Go to www.ups.com and click on More Options under Tracking. Then click on Track by Reference and enter your Apple web order number (starts W) into the Shipment Reference field. Leave everything else empty.

Is it starting in China?
 
When I try to see the Apple Store page, it says that has a problem and won't let me see my order. Curious to see how will I get my iPhone until next monday, a week from tomorrow.

If your order is shipping with UPS, go to www.ups.com and click on More Options under Tracking. Then click on Track by Reference and enter your Apple web order number (starts W) into the Shipment Reference field. Leave everything else empty.

When did you order? And which country?
