Looks like the Oct. 4-10 wave is getting charged and preparing for shipment tonight. Maybe we'll see some movement soon!

Woke up this morning to see that my phone is now PFS! I couldn't believe it but I checked the Apple Store app and it's true! Credit card has been charged for the tax (I enrolled in the IUP). I'm so surprised because I'm part of the October 18-31 group!

This leads me to believe Apple pushed up the launch date by one week, to capitalize on the Samsung exploding phone fiasco. Imho don't think that it was a good move at the expense of Apple's regular upgraders.

Wont ship tonight unless they ship out a **** ton of these phones. There are tons of people from Sept 26- Oct 3 wave who still are stuck in PFS hell :(

I know that Apple probably has some sophisticated system to determine which phones ship when, but man it definitely looks like there is no rhyme or reason on this forum. If you're in Purgatory, I hope they just aren't updating status as quickly as the phones are moving. I've heard stories in the past of people not seeing status changes that correlated with where the phones were.

Even if the status didnt update as phones were moving; you'd be able to
use ur phone number/order number as a reference number to track your package. Thats not the case though... which means there hasnt even been a label created for those phones yet.

Not cool, seems that most AUP are getting shipped or at least started the shipping process when regular orders, paid in full, for similar shipping dates are still stuck in processing. :(

There's still some IUP buyers that haven't seen any movement....(sadly raises hand).

Not cool that Apple is now prioritizing IUP members, even those with dates well into October, and passing over those with sooner dates for the same models. Not cool at all.

you all are getting preparing to ship statuses and i ordered at 5.09 and have a 30th sept to 05th october and its still processing... this is so much like the apple watch SS where it was a lottery system with shipments but apple flat out denied it.

I guess at this point its just best to sit back and wait for my ship dates. As long as it doesn't get pushed back any further. Stressing over the matter wont really help and I'm saying this mostly to myself. I guess that lawsuit from AUP really scared the crap outta apple.

So I JUST canceled my Jet Black 256GB Plus that I ordered through AT&T and decided to order the Matte Black+ 128 GB from Apple. Currently showing a delivery date of October 12-18. Should be worth the wait though :)
I was nervous with all the smudges/scratches with the Jet Black and virtually EVERY review says to go for Matte Black so here I am!

Not a bad ship date, i pre-ordered within the first three hours and got an Oct 4-10. You'll be happy, i know i was when i saw the black at the apple store this weekend. Looks and feels tough, like a Batman edition lol.

That's what I keep hearing! Hopeful for an earlier date but October will be just fine considering my late order
