Ok, so i just ordered today - pretty late to this whole thing but shipping time is till "October" - so within the next 25 days anyway!!! Any chance anyone can give me a little guidance on when I'll get this thing??

I think most of the orders came in on the first day, and I am fairly sure they dispatched most of the release day orders. Also the ratio of gold is very high so if you ordered that you might be looking at another 20 Days of the Daily Routine before you get it. If not I wouldn't be surprised if you get an order update next friday.
 
Mine has finally left Hong Kong. My guess is that's true for many of us. Any idea what route those of us will be taking?

FYI it departed at 0:38 HK time.
 
Is there anyone here ordered the phone after 20 Sep? What's your status, size, and color? I ordered on 23. It's gold 32. Still Processing Item. I wish I could get the phone within this month.

Yeah 21st. 16GB Gold still Processing. We've got a bit to wait I think.

Ordered mine around the sound time.

Mines estimated 15th October, where are you located roughly?

Same order as mine too, also referencing HINKLEY, GB in my track order.
 
It's awesome that people who ordered post 20th are getting theirs shipped/preparing to ship :) Hoping the same for mine soon!

I'm in London. My order originally said that it would be delivered on the 14th, but it changed to the 9th a few hours later.
 
Sunday deliveries

I am hoping to get an iphone 5s at an apple store as well as my delivery order, do the apple stores by any chance get deliveries on a Sunday? (Ie tomorrow) ?

Not usually from what the Apple flunkeys told me. I was in the Trafford Centre branch this evening and they still had 64GBs for sale. If I had got there a couple of hours earlier, I might have bagged the 32GB size I was after. Space Grey seems to be the least popular colour, which suits me fine as I don't want white.
Carphone Warehouse had plenty of 5s phones too, if you don't mind paying an unlock fee to save waiting.

I too am looking for a space grey, but ideally a 16gb, so this is good news. Maybe I'll pop along to a store tomorrow in case, thanks for your help! :apple:;)
 
I assume you're getting a sim only contract? Why not start it when your current contract ends and then just pop the sim into the 5s when it arrives?

Thats a good idea but - i currently have the iphone 4 with the 'micro' sim? id need to change sim to a nano for the 5s? if that isn't difficult then i'll do that :)

Not at all. All you need is an adapter. Pop the nano sim into it and hey presto you have a micro sim.

When you contact your current network/new network let them know you need a nano sim with micro sim adapter because you haven't yet got the 5s.
 
anyone receive this email from apple?

Calm down. People who ordered on the 20th still haven't received theirs yet. Never mind 25th.
