Same here, no change just preparing for shipping. Does anyone know what couriers deliver the phones? Is it Australia post.

Apple use TNT to deliver in Australia. From prior years the phones will have made their way to Sydney, where they wait until tonight, or early tomorrow, before being placed on flights around the country. It will be around this time we'll see the dispatch email. Unfortunately, unlike UPS in the US, there doesn't seem to be any way of seeing where your device actually is.

More importantly hope our Phones ship out tonight

Why more importantly? Everyones issue is relevant.

I sure hope so, im currently running off an old barely working nexus 5x as my iphone x decided its service was done

Still no status change overnight for deliveries; apparently people who opted for pickup got emails last night.

Anyone order from Telstra with a 23rd delivery date?
All week there was a tracking number that would say they couldn’t find it yet, but overnight the tracking number has disappeared 🤔

 

[Boardiesboi]

Ordered for reservation at 10.45pm last Friday for tomorrow at 8.15am.

Got email confirmation last night.

First time doing a pre-order. Previously I've waited until stock has stabilised and I can have a play with the phones in the store. Ordered at 22:33 and got a 8:00am pickup at the Adelaide store tomorrow for a Graphite Pro with 256GB.

I've had nothing from Apple yet.

I'm not too worried though - the Adelaide store doesn't seem to get stock until the day after the stores in the east. Hopefully this afternoon or tonight

 

[Robbosan]

If bought from apple online you won't get any shipping email till tonight, same as every apple product.
No point to keep asking and updating here all day.

 

[Robbosan]

No bluetick from Telstra so no better than IP8 that had it?

This is my first time preordering on launch day - live in Brisbane, and managed to get a 23/10 delivery date. I’m new to all this, but is it normal to still be on ‘preparing to ship’ so late in the game (considering its 22/10 morning right now)? Just wondering because I’ve got tracking info for my MagSafe charger which I ordered the same time as the iPhone, but nothing on the phone itself...

Yes, you wont get any email/text till tonight, normal.

Anyone got their AppleCare+ Information yet? I did

I got my order in at 5 minutes after the online store opened for me even with constant refreshing on 3 devices, and only managed to get a delivery for 26th (Monday). Still "being prepared for Shipment". I did wonder whether I'll be lucky enough to get it on Friday, Apple do normally deliver early, but am just as happy to get on Monday. In the past the "Shipped" notification hasn't come through until the night before delivery happens, even on launch day, so I've got no clue if it will come early.
Ordered the 128Gb Pacific Blue 12 Pro.
Live just outside Adelaide.

I am in the same boat. My order went in at about 2 minutes past the opening time and showed the 23rd but as soon as my address was entered it jumped to the 26th. I ordered the 256GB Gold Pro and I'm about a half hour outside of Newcastle. I am wondering if they're giving themselves some leeway because "rural" but am somewhat optimistically hoping for tomorrow still 😅

I have always gotten my order earlier than the estimated delivery date. I am hopeful that this one will not be the exception, and it will get here on launch day. We won't know until later this afternoon / evening. If it changes to shipped today, then I would be expecting delivery tomorrow.

 

[Madonepro]

For the OP, I can assure you that right now, in the capital city of your state/territory are pallets of iPhones waiting for the set release time, set by Apple, for TNT/FedEx to open, and distribute further down the supply chain. You'll see when you do get the tracking, that your order has been moving all week.

Yes, you wont get any email/text till tonight, normal.

I know you are frustrated with this thread, but don't let that spoil the enjoyment of others.

 

[Enigma01au]

Mine just changed to shipped!!!!

 

[Madonepro]

Mine just changed to shipped!!!!

Just had a quick peek at my order, and mine has changed too, but as said in my last post, that was always the case, and the pallets are in your states capital right now.

Yep, I know all that, but mine isn't due for delivery till the 26th. In the past Apple have only sent the shipped notification at most 24hrs before delivery, so this is all boding well for me to get it on launch day yay!!!

 

[BeauGiles]

Shipped!!!!!

I wish TNT could provide better time windows updates, the US thread makes me jealous of UPS.
