Choose one:

1. What's wrong with Apple? Can't they even get a date right?

2. Apple was lying about availability.

3. Must be that they got so many orders cancelled that they have more stock available.

4. They only want people to THINK they're in demand, but they're really not.

5. Who wants an iPhone 5, anyway? They're only a minor spec bump.

6. A class action should be initiated for incorrect information to the consumer

7. I told you, Apple is doomed

8. Apple stock will accordingly drop

Target still has preorders available for pickup on the 21st.

Hopefully people with many positive posts over many years about Apple on AI get preferential treatment and get deliveries way ahead of other people.

thanks to an at&t screwup, my order got cancelled and i got shoved to the back of the line. i had ordered phones for two lines on my family plan and one of the orders was cancelled this morning. i was told by the apple support rep that at&t was having issues with upgrades to multiple lines on the same account. randall stephenson should hand deliver that phone to me on friday morning.

I ordered 3 iPhones:  a 4S and 2 5s on our ATT family plan.  The last order was placed at 3:01 PST (I fell asleep).  

The 4S has shipped from Pennsylvania to arrive on the 21st.  The 2 5s show "Processing"  "Available to ship:  2 weeks  Delivers  Oct 5 via Standard Shipping"

You might try calling ATT and explain the situation -- they might offer an in-store pickup at an earlier date.

I hate the "pass-the-buck" ordering process  through the Apple Online Store -- and was fully prepared to buy unlocked iP5s... so, of course they didn't offer unlocked iP5s at this time.

Baring any goofs, I should have my 64GB Black Thursday night, if the past holds true. 2008 and 2010 they were delivered the day before. I had no problem ordering on the iPhone app for the Apple store. Order was started at 1159 and completed by 0000.

maybe Tallest Skil tried to order an iPhone 6 which Apple recognized later and canceled it so that changed to the earlier shipping date for another customer :)

I want to laugh at the joke here, but I'm having trouble understanding it.
