****...Maybe I did it. I was messing with their countdown function Just for the hell of it....

$(function () {
var liftoffTime = new Date();
liftoffTime = new Date('Sep 20, 2013 00:00:00 -0700'); //midnight sept 20 pdt after all day has been the 19th
$('#countingDown').countdown({alwaysExpire:true,onExpiry: function(){$('#showLoad').show();$('#counterContainer').hide();}, compact:true, until: liftoffTime,format:'HMS',layout: '{hn}{sep}{mnn}{sep}{snn}'});
});

It let me in but says 7-28 days shipping time! Gonna wait for the Apple store.

My contract doesn't end until next Friday. By then the wait will be like a month. I'm here to enjoy how quickly they sell out. Oh, and for anyone that doesn't know the trick, use the Apple Store app rather than the website.

ATT went live 10 minutes early.

"Your Apple iPhone 5s - 64GB - Gold will ship in 7-28 business days."

 

[pixelss]

let's order

gooooooooooooo

 

[mrxak]

Just got mine 7 minutes early from http://att.com. I was hoping to order from Apple since I figure they might ship sooner, but I wasn't going to pass up a quick buy like that.

 

[cargoplex]

gooooooooooooo

US Apple store not up yet!

 

[sparrky]

What a crock. Can't order the T-Mobile version via the app
screw you, Apple.

 

[NMSUballa]

The Apple store app is up!

 

[kappaknight]

Just ordered mine! My shipping estimate was 1-3 days. (In the US)

 

[realeric]

It sucks. Delivery date is Sep 30 ~ Oct 2. Order on 3:01AM. . (AT&T, 16GB, Gray)

 

[rusty2192]

Got it. Ships in 1-3 business days. AT&T 32GB Space Gray

 

[Lancer]

I waited about 15 minutes in line before the shop open (at 8am), then about 5 minutes before I was served. 10 minutes to get the 5s, so 30 minutes over all to get the new iPhone. No cuing for hours/days with hundreds of others, sometimes it's great living in a smaller town.

Got my Gold iPhone ordered! 64GB

 

[sinsin07]

Me too! Same, Gold 64

 

[ANTAWNM26]

Looks like he is right for gray 16GB... it might be stock dependent. I checked silver and gold and no go for att. Only 16GB gray is available for full price no contract.

Dead ass wrong just ordered a silver one

 

[bkribbs]

Just ordered mine! My shipping estimate was 1-3 days. (In the US)

That image is Golden!

I could just picture the Scalpers as a Mr Slugsworth type person as well.

 

[bigdrizzle13]

Just got a 5s gold 16 gb for ATT via the app store app. Was done with my order around 12:02 am. It says available to ship "1-3 business days" with estimated delivery by "sep 30 - oct 2"

What a stressful night. LOL

 

[revlisoft]

iPhone 5s 64GB Gold (GSM) T-Mobile Unlocked

[MacVixen]

Wow - talk about quick and painless - gold 64gb ordered - ships 1-3 business days. Excited!!

 

[NMSUballa]

7-10 business days already for the Gold 64 gb with att. Wow. Took all of 6 minutes.

 

[darkfiber]

Order placed on the Apple Store iPhone app since it went live before the web site did. Got me a 64GB Space Gray AT&T iPhone 5s.

 

[Icaras]

2 docks and 2 leather cases ordered!

No new iPhone for me this year

 

[BruceEBonus]

Not got Gold? No prob. Keep it Old.

Chuck on a plastic case. Bung on IOS 7.

Same looking and acting phone as the "new" 5S

And just as "different" (cough)

Sorted!
