Has anyone been able to track via reference # this year? Like type in your phone number to FedEx "Track by Reference?" Just wondering if this will show up before the order page updates.

My 16GB Silver 6 is still on "Processing items." I ordered at 5:21AM EST and there's a soft charge on my cc account.

They are all probably pretty early in the preparing for shipment phase. Perhaps Monday or Tuesday when they have had enough time to start getting them out the doors.
 
Ordered - 9/12 @ 4:00 CST
Seller - Apple (via iPad Apple Store app)
Location - United States (Illinois)
Device - 64GB iPhone 6 in Space Gray (also ordered black leather case)

I got my order in via the iPad app by some miracle. I stayed up until the browser-based Apple Store came online just to make sure it indeed go through.

My case went into "Preparing for Shipment" status early this morning, and the phone went into "Preparing for Shipment" like 4 hours ago.

Also, to those of you curious about screen protectors, I use one of those rigid ones from Spigen on my iPhone 5 and iPad mini today and love it. Ordered the one for my iPhone 6 on Amazon on 9/9 and it arrived yesterday. Glad I'll be able to have it on my phone day 1!
 
Ordered iPhone 6 Plus 64 GB Space Grey, due 09/19

Ordered via Apple Store app at 0045 Pacific Time in Seattle area.

Pending charge went on credit card at time of order.

Order switched to "Preparing for Shipment" between 1730 and 1740 Saturday night.

Anyone have a 7-10 shipping date w/ arrival between OCT. 1-6? If so what is your status? Has your card been charged yet?

That is my status. I am still here: "Processing Items Available to ship: 7- 10 business days Delivers: Oct 1 - Oct 6 by Standard Shipping". I ordered a 6+ 64GB t-mobile, no contract at 2:20am PDT from apple.com. Card has not been charged yet.
 
Ordered - 9/12 @ 3:30 EST
Seller - Apple (via iPad Apple Store app)
Location - United States (Michigan)
Device - 128GB iPhone 6 Plus in Space Gray

Had a difficult time getting through, like everyone else. Around 3:30 I got through via my iPad and after a few errors (ccv I think) I successfully completed my order. Wasn't horrible overall.

I'm in the 10/1 - 10/6 club. I did AT&T Next for my iPhone. However, I have had my credit card charged for my iPhone sales tax and AppleCare+ even though I'm still marked as "Processing Items."

Still "Processing Items" for my 64 GB 6 Plus in Space Gray via Apple with a listed delivery date of 9/19. :(
 
Just got my preparing for shipment status! :) Ordered from apple.com at 12:45 AM PST.

I can't even imagine how busy Apple must be. Soon as they recovered the site I got lucky and my order went smoothly, also listed for delivery on the 19th, we'll see if that holds.

I must say I had no idea the plus model I ordered was in such demand on the secondary market. I answered an ad in Craigslist, a Dr from the local hospital was advertising to buy one if it was available before end of the month.

He offered me well over twice what I paid, a deal I couldn't pass up. Gave me half cash, the other half upon delivery. Sure glad I have others to use. I may get in line at my carrier to buy one for myself.

Thanks Apple :)
 
Has anyone gotten prepared for shipping for those who have ordered iphone 6 with apple care from the apple website?
 
My Verizon Space Gray 6 Plus 64 gb ordered at 12:31 AM just showed Preparing for Shipment. Ordered via the app.

Same here!
 
My Sprint 6+ Silver 64GB ordered through Apple at 4:00AM EST is preparing for shipping. Still says deliver 9/19. The upside of being a Sprint customer is less demand!
 
iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Grey
Ordered On: Apple Store app on iPad
Time: 3:40am
Status: Preparing for Shipment
Payment: card charged
Location: Orlando, Florida

My status just went from processing to preparing for shipment

YAY!
 
My 6+ (Gold 128) ordered at 3:48AM Eastern on Friday is preparing for shipment. Interestingly, my 6 (SG 64 GB) ordered at about 9:30 Saturday Morning is also preparing for shipment.

I'm just outside Detroit. Both phones ordered through Apple direct (the Plus was through the App.) Both are for AT&T on the Next plan. Received the Spigen Slim Armor for the non-plus today. It's a nice size but I'm excited to see my Plus.
 
Finally Moved from Processing to Preparing !!!

64gb 6+, grey, ready for shipment
Ordered 330am 9/12, Delivery on 9/19

Preparing for Shipment!

64gb Space Gray Plus...from iPad Apple Store App at ~3:45am EST.

I know there has been much debate about the size of the plus...but I am totally psyched for the bigger size. Looking forward to Friday!
 
Her in Oz am still "Processing Items". 6 Silver 128GB, delivery to Melbourne, delivery 19/9 (which is actually more like 18/9 given the time diff). Only four days to get their acts together... ;)
