People are receiving their phones despite people feeling like nothing happening. This is no worse than last years ordering. If I'm not mistaken the servers went down and they took pre-orders by hand with a pen and paper.
Some have received a text saying that the original ship date is still the ship date. That probably isn't what you want to see. Its good to see people with later dates then mine showing up because that tells me we are moving along. My group should be coming up next week hopefully 10/25-11/11.
I'm in your group now. I preordered my 6s+ last year through T-Mobile and received it on launch day. I actually called at 2:58am EST, was connected to a rep and able to finalize my order all within 10 minutes. I received my EIP later that morning and signed it by 10am.
