Well, you'd be in line after the probably thousands of us who ordered at midnight on pre-order night and got Oct 4 - 10 dates.
my current phone? no apple isn't doing anything about touch disease if youre out of warranty
Buy the T-Mobile version. It's the SIM-FREE version just with a T-Mobile sim card in the box. It does not require any carrier info when preordering from Apple.
"Not me" said the flea
That's about the time I completed my order, and it is due to ship Oct. 4-10. Nothing has changed. Still processing. Black Plus 256gb. Makes me wish I'd just sucked it up and order a pink one.
nope. I can't stop refreshing the Order page every hour. still salty I woke up at 3:00am to do this and I'm somehow in the presumed 11% who have a shipping date after 10/4.
edit - before anyone asks, the 11% stat was from this infograph taken from reddit. credit is at the very bottom of the picture.

If you ordered your phone through Apple you'll get your phone on time regardless of how bad Sprint is or isn't. Apple is supplying your phone, not Sprint. Sprint is your carrier and they charge you for service. The people complaining about Sprint ordered their phones through Sprint, not Apple. Apple does need to verify that you have a carrier before supplying you with a phone which is why you are asked to put in that info when you order.
But will it work with a Norwegian carrier? I knew this was a problem with the 5s models. They didn't support the Norwegian GSM network or something like that.
@omgisemilyward Were you really that close to John Mulaney?? What did he smell like?? Did he smell good? Tell me everything don't leave anything out!!!
omg, why are people with Sep 16 dates freaking out that their order is still processing. If it says "delivers by Sep 16..." it WILL deliver by Sep 16.
The should consider themselves the lucky bastards they are.
no luck involved. i set my alarm, refreshed the app til it worked, had my phone saved in favorites, bought t-mobile to ensure no hangups with carrier connection, had my address and cc saved, hit buy with apple pay, scanned my fingerprint and was ordered by 12:03 (store came on at 12:03).
This forum seems to be dominated by posts from the lucky folks who got 9/16 delivery dates. Yes there are posts from others who got later dates but there's no way the launch day people could constitute a larger percentage than those of us who got later dates.
yes I was! I've met him like 3 times (I'm a huge dork) but that pic was from after he taped The Comeback Kid. He stayed after in the rain to say hello to all 50 of us that were there. He was very appreciative and took a pic with almost everyone
And yes he did smell good!!

Not sure how accurate that is...
Mine still says preparing to ship with a delivery date of the 16th..
When I do the reference # minus the last 2 numbers UPS shows tracking but shows it going to Justin, TX (wherever that is LOL).. I am in California and my shipping address is correct on the order..
I'm not worried about though just don't know how accurate that method of tracking is..
Sorry but some of us who did all the right things still got screwed. It was in fact luck. It's not something you can take credit for.
