My status changed to Preparing for Shipment as well. Ordered 9/15, 256GB 7+ MB. Delivery date didn't change, still 10/10-10/14.
What carrier? If AT&T, did you select A&T Next Program when you ordered on the Apple site? I am trying to figure out why your status has changed while my Plus 256 MB AT&T ordered 9/14 has not.

Me too :( Same iPhone. Mine is AT&T Next program via Apple site. But I ordered 9/14. What's your ETA now? Mine is 10/7-10/13.
Estimated arrival is still the same as usual; 10/5-10/11. Unless it starts moving within hours, it's very unlikely that it could arrive before next Wednesday (10/5).

To people who've already received their phones... where do you think it will arrive next? Alaska? I live outside of Philadelphia if that helps.

Mine is going to south-central PA and was with you up until the HK arrival. Not showing a departure scan for mine, though from HK. The normal stateside route is Anchorage -> Louisville -> local hub. In your case, it is most likely Philly.

Looks like you are on this flight http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS93

Maybe, but my wife's went from Processing to Shipped on a Sunday and she got it early on Tuesday via FedEx 2-day. Good luck!

With my 7+ rose gold order, it was shipped on 7/19 from ZhengZhou>Korea. There were some issues in Korea and UPS had to send the cargo to Hong Kong on 7/23, and I got the phone on 7/24 (Michigan).

My another 7+ black is currently stuck in Korea, again. It was shipped on Tuesday (7/27).

I feel the ShenZhen>HongKong>Anchorage route is much smoother compared to the ZhengZhou>Korea>Anchorage route. A quick google shows 70% of the iPhone 6s were made in ZhengZhou, so I guess it's harder to get the shipment out from there.

For those of you constantly checking your Order Status page like me, using Firefox there is a plug-in called "Check4Change" that allows you to highlight text to watch for change (like Status block) and refresh every XX seconds. It can then alert if there is a change. Just make sure to set interval so you don't auto-logout. I have mine set for 2 minutes.

I think we all need a doctor instead, to figure out why we are so obsessed with tracking where our phones are.

Interesting! Just wondering if anyone here has had their "Delivers" date bumped forward? Mine changed yesterday from "November" to "18 Nov, 2016". Any chance this may get bumped up?

But that's not fun :D
[doublepost=1475250480][/doublepost]Looks like my two phones are stuck in PFS hehe. The silver has been for more than 48h and the black one 24h. Oh well!

Thanks! I was getting concerned because I haven't seen anyone with these status updates on their tracking. I guess I will hope it arrives here sometime next week, as today obviously isn't happening

There is a UPS Cargo Plane flying from Incheon to Ankorage right now. Based on the UPS updates, I think you should see a scan in Ankorage later today. You should be getting it beginning of next week I think.

Checking the http://www.istocknow.com/live/ site is crazy! You can see stores get one or more phones in stock...and then they are often gone in seconds! I am glad to see inventory hitting the stores, but I really wish they would first fill the preorders! I have watched my exact phone, on AT&T, come and go over and over :(

But maybe these are pre-order in-store pickups??

Apple is doing really horrible job filling the pre-orders specially with jet black. Ordered 9/9 xx:15 delivery 18/10-31/10 and I'm still processing

So mine moved from PFS to Shipped this morning.

Went from China to Hong King, where it's been sitting for a while.

Apple says delivery is Oct. 6 but UPS says Oct. 3.

Which do you think is more accurate?

I would think UPS since they have it now and are more aware of their actual ETA. Apple is estimating I believe. It is out of their hands at this point.

Ugh, finally got an update that it's on the 1:42am flight from from Incheon to Anchorage. I was hoping UPS missed some scans, but I guess it did sit in South Korea a couple days. Looks like next week for the folks who were in Incheon sadly.

We are sitting on the same pallet most likely. There are 2 UPS flights from HK to Anchorage in the air right now. Praying we just missed our departure scan as there are no more flights today or tomorrow for Anchorage. Not sure about Sunday, but regardless, I doubt any delay leaving HK will result in our phones being out for delivery Monday as indicated by UPS.
