Think it is too soon to tell at the moment. It wouldn't matter if it is shipped, processing or dispatched. Everyone who pre-order early will get it on the 14th. If it arrive early, Fedex or UPS will just hold till release. They can't deliver early.

They delivered a day early last year
 
Apparently it's happening based on model type. Seems like Black 16GB versions are moving to the Preparing for Shipment stage already. Seems quicker than last year!

I ordered two 16gb models at 3am and received the order confirmations with delivery by Oct. 14th but the orders still show processing.
 
2different order numbers on AT&T

Ordered 4s at 5:15am 10/7 on AT&T website after 2hour process.

The confirmation email gave me an order number which when I check thru premier says processing

When going to AT&T and logging in my account and checking order status it shows a different order number and says phone Is backordered

The only common number between the two order numbers is 1967. This is last 4digits of premier order # and first 4digits of AT&T order #.

Anyone have any thoughts??

Thanks
 
I made 2 orders, a 16gb and 32gb black 4s, both with applecare+. Both now say preparing for shipment.
 
My iPhone 32GB (AT&T model) says its prepared for shipment, but my AppleCare+ isn't yet. I ordered from Apple on 10/7 at 11:30am.
