South of Ft Worth? That is odd since the AT&T warehouse is in North Ft Worth off of 170.
Actually, while I was in a meeting I got a shipped notice and fedex says it will be here tomorrow before 4:30. but its not coming out of Irving, lol, Its coming out of York, PA.

Still waiting for my text message! But the more late it gets I’m nervous. I live in VA so PA seems reasonable. Stressing big time

Att keeps sending me these messages about new tower and new cell plans!! Why are they torturing me
 
For those of you who are seeing changes in status from "In Progress" to "Preparing to Ship", could you please provide an approximate timestamp of when you believe it to have changed today? This will help those of us who are constantly refreshing AT&T's order status page. ;)

Holding out a small sliver of hope mine gets shipped out tonight, though if it's still stuck in "In Progress", it's not looking likely.

I received shipment emails at 5 am EST this morning for the 3 ATT iPhones I ordered from ATT directly. All three are showing in FedEx to be delivered tomorrow. There is also tracking progress so I am confidently they’ll be delivered tomorrow. I ordered and received confirmation emails at 8:08 AM on preorder day.
 
Mine probably changed in the last hour or so.

Bummer - guess will not be getting mine tomorrow. Still say in progress and I ordered right at 8am last Friday. First time won’t get the phone on opening day. Will be ordering to Apple next year, as much easier to track.
 
Anyone have thoughts as to how late today we would be able to see a change to "Preparing for Shipment", and still have it arrive tomorrow? In other words, what is the FedEx cutoff time for it to make it next-day?

Seems the flow is:

1. Status changes on AT&T site from "In Progress" to "Preparing for Shipment".
2. FedEx label is generated and shows on fedex.com Delivery Manager.
3. AT&T site (eventually) updates with shipping info.

mine went from In Progress to Shipped literally was in progress at 6:30am and email 7:30 saying shipped with tracking #. This morning. I had 10/23-10/30 ship. IPhone 22 pro graphite 256 gig

BIG UPDATE!
ATT notified me before fedex notified me!
I got a ATT email in my gmail account saying my order shipped. 3 min later fedex texted me.

for other people waiting: timeline
128gb pro graphite 758am 10/16
prepared to ship at 1130 am.
Shipping from Irving Texas. Picked up at 452pm. October 23 delivery
 
My status changed from preparing to ship to shipped around 5pm central today. Scheduled to arrive tomorrow by 8. 128gb graphite pro in MN. Being shipped from Plainfield, IN.
 
FWIW, I no longer see an option to Cancel the item. Not sure if others noticed the same thing. I recall there being a Cancel link where I've circled. Maybe it means nothing.

My iPhone 12 Pro 128GB graphite says preparing for shipping on AT&T with an estimated ship date of 10/23-10/30. I got my fedex tracking number already & it says that it should be here by 8PM tomorrow from Indiana.

Do they ship overnight or is this a mistake? Indiana is pretty far from CA so just don’t want to get my hopes up.
Where is it now? I’m in Arizona on CA/AZ border and last night it left Irvine TX, and arrived in Nashville this morning (moved further away). It left Nashville a couple
hours ago. Presumably it’s on a flight to either Vegas or Phoenix (closest large cities to me).

Oh and they definitely shipped overnight.
 
Yep... mine showed up. I was not optimistic. (Blue Pro, 256) guess I will be getting it launch day after all. Coming from IN. The others are out of TX. Guess patience is the key.

I also made that mistake about 6 years ago. I vowed never again with ATT. Been doing it with Apple ever since and never missed a launch day.
