I had the preauth go through, and as normal it fell off all is well, now both of mine have shipped and nada, and I think this is specifically for the apple.com orderers. MOST not all of the AT&T claim to be charged. from past experience once an item is shipped you get charged. when both of mine get delivered on the 24th whats to stop me from canceling that card if it's not charged? not saying I would because I wouldn't then it just amounts to theft.
