If I get my phone this year on friday lol I am no longer waking up at 3am to preorder. I ordered a 256GB Gold Max at 12:51pm EST on Saturday.
After contemplating ordering I logged on to apple to see the time had slipped already to the following weeks, but then the ATT site still said the 21st. So i gave it a go. And here I am still in progress with a 21st Delivery Date.

What does have me worried a bit is that from the looks of poll on the thread people seem to be gravitating more towards the 256GB Gold Max and Space Gray.

P.S-I have preordered every year since the iPhone 5 on launch night either through apple or ATT and have always received the phone on release date.

EDIT: I just went into Preparing To Ship 11:55pm EST. Again I don't think Ill ever have to wake up at 3am ever again lol I ordered at 12:51pm EST! and from the looks of it the second most wanted iPhone and Ill still get it on Friday!

Well keep in mind, this is an “S” release, not as much hype lol.

How did you get the accessories billed to mobile?

The accessories were on the same page on there as I was going through the order process. I fully expected to use my credit card for the taxes for the accessories and taxes, but in a rush, after I clicked through and got confirmation of order and emails, I was surprised that I never had to give it. I’m an employee on the phones and even I was surprised by bill to mobile options. Must be just for this preorder, cause if you called in and got a new phone ordered on Next, you wouldn’t get the taxes on Next btm.

I think this is a new feature across AT&T. Taxes are also able to to be billed to your monthly bill as well.
I was able to bill the taxes on the phone but haven't seen where you can bill accessories yet.

I just added it to the same shopping cart
I hadnt really planned at the time to get the screen protector or case just at that moment, but since it was right there, strike the iron while it’s hot.

Mine switched to Preparing to Ship early Monday morning.

Pre-ordered the Gold Max 256GB on 9/14 at 2:56am EST through AT&T website. (Card was charged immediately after the order received email. Order processed/confirmation email came 45 minutes later.)

Anyone order on 9/15 through AT&T and get a preparing to ship yet? I ordered a 256gb gold Max (says 9/21) and a 256gb gray (says 9/24-10/1) - more curious about the one that says 9/21. Still says pending and when I do the text, says it can’t find it.

We can assume Att uses fed ex, right? Everything I’ve ever ordered from them came from fed ex. The folks that ordered from Apple direct are able to track via reference but I haven’t figured out how to do that with fed ex. Only UPS.

We upgrade our phones every other year. iPhone 4's were our first. We were excited but new to the Apple ecosystem at the time, we only had MacBooks and iPods. We switched carriers so we walked out of an AT&T store with the phones a few months after release.

We upgraded to the 5's and I honestly don't even remember if we did it online or at the store. With the 6's I was the most excited. While the 4's and 5's were nice additions to the ecosystem, I just found them too small to spend any significant amount of time on them. I was very happy when the Plus's were announced and I recall following the AT&T thread for the first time on here. Once I realized the huge demand, I accepted it would be several weeks til mine shipped and I was ok with that. But I remember about 4 or 5 individuals posted many times a day, encouraging each other and posting so many updates. I continued following the thread well after I got my phone until those individuals got their phones and stopped posting about it. Truly entertaining posts just about a phone, it was almost like a support group. When we upgraded to the 7 Plus's, I don't think I even came on here but this time find myself scrolling to through almost 700 posts lol

Oh I hear ya. Much the same for me. It’s fun to read the posts for sure. I understand the excitement and I like seeing folks happy so maybe that’s why I visit these preorder threads. That being said there are many anxious folks and I try to ease their minds as much as possible knowing I once, seemingly long ago, felt the same way.

If you have a 9/21 date and are currently "In Progress", I urge you to NOT cancel on Wednesday. Please. Trust us. AT&T sucks at updating order status. I believe the last phone I had shipped I got the shipping notification in the wee hours of Friday morning. But...you do you. :)

Listen to this post! Do not cancel an order just because you are in progress. You will regret it.
