such an odd question to ask... but I guess they ship from distribution centers in major cities or something?
why is that odd? i just want to get an idea of how long it will take to arrive once it ships is all
I ordered my AT&T iPhone from Apple and it shipped out of China. It took roughly a week to get to me.
OP's asking where iPhones bought from AT&T ship from.
My 4S and 5 were both shipped from Fort Worth, TX.

Well, they sure did on launch day. I preordered my iPhone. It sat on UPS's ramp in Louisville, KY for 6 days before moving.
OP, if you're really interested, when you get a tracking number you'll also know the shipper. Go to flightaware.com. Find your shipper. When tracking gives you a departure scan, find the time and compare it to the flights for your shipper. Find the closest one to the time and city of your departure scan and you'll know your flight. You can then track your flight (and your phone) via flightaware.
That's what I did, which is how I knew my iPhone was sitting in Louisville. Tracked my UPS flight from Louisville to Phoenix, about a 4 hour flight.
To actually answer your question and silence the random banter this thread has garnered.
It will ship from China, almost always Zhengzhou, and arrive at an AT&T warehouse. From there it will sit until it is ordered, and will ship from either Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas (usually) or Memphis, Tennessee.

Because all phones ship at the same speed, it doesn't matter where you leave from if you get to your destination at the same time.
i got a tracking number but theres no info on arrival date or departure location yet
yea no sh|t lol i just thought itd be quicker to just ask so i could get an idea. i hate waiting.
True, wild conjecture from us will be better than official posting from UPS with tracking info.
btw, tracking number was just updated and my phone is being shiped from Memphis, TN.
