Ps, this was wayyyy smoother than last years pre order! I also had issues last year with my bank declining because they thought it was fraud. And Verizon cancelling orders and blah blah! So happy this year is less of a headache for me!
I had to confirm with Amex via text yesterday that it was not fraud. Then had to call Verizon to process again. Now it has “shipped”.

Anyone else starting to second guess their color choice?


Lol I picked Silver cause it looked more premium in my opinion and I felt like it wouldnt show fingerprints or micro abrasions as easily buuuut I’m starting to wonder.

yeah. wish i got silver instead of black. silver is essentially white. in the hands on demo they kept showing off the silver version as well.

I was one if the early birds and got my order in before 12 midnight. Ordered 256G Silver. My shipping notice says it will arrive tomorrow!!!

Stay with silver. It is a beautiful color for the phone. It is eye catching and attention getter although the eye catching and attention getter aspects are less than red color.

My order shipped! My order says delivery tomorrow but when you track it on FedEx it says the shipper wants it held until 11/3. It will be great if FedEx messes up though lol
 
I went through this exact thing this year only my order was not canceled. Just had to update card info and went through
Oh mine was a nightmare! I was on the phone with Verizon for houuuuurs trying to get it worked out! It wouldn’t let me update on the website and, well it was just awful. I said I would never preorder again, but my husband wanted this one so bad. So here I am. Lol

Ditto!

At least it says “delivers by 3 pm” instead of the normal “by end of day” for iPhones. So that’s a positive for me!

Post a pic if you have time while we’re all just sitting around. I have the same concern as you do but it won’t take me long to know if I will like it or trade it for an 8 +
Hope this helps.

Order shipped. Expected delivery 11/3 by Fedex. Pre-ordered 256G Space Gray at 2:55 am eastern on Fri. Gonna be a long week.
 
My order has officially shipped, as well! A reminder for anyone changing shipping addresses to call the CORE department now at 866-338-7390 to make your change if you have your tracking number, otherwise DO NOT call to change the address until you have a tracking number to avoid messing up the pre order!!

Should I change my shipping address RIGHT when I get my tracking number or wait until it shows a little bit of movement?
 
OK now I am officially confused. That was not a charge for my case. I don't know what it was a charge for, but it was from the Apple Store not Verizon. I am getting worried now.
 
For an update, I just called the CORE department now that I have my tracking info, and they handled it perfectly for the shipping address change! They said they basically just slap a new label on it at the Memphis warehouse (where my phone currently is) and then it shouldn't delay anything! :)

What's the number for the CORE dept? :)
And do you just request an address change? Anything special?
