Has anyone had a gold iPhone 5s actually ship yet?

ronwp54 · October 3, 2013 9:45AM

Just wondering if anyone has had the gold model ship yet or for that matter any 5s. My order for the 64GB gold went thru 15 minutes after going on sale thru the Apple online store. My ship time was listed as 7 to 10 business days. So far it still hasn't shipped, although the shipping time is still listed at 7-10 days.

Still waiting here but I have serious concerns - sell it at ebay for $1,000 or keep it!!

Good News! My order is now listed as preparing for shipment. So at least they seem to be shipping.

I ordered my gold iPhone 64GB from Apple on launch midnight but got the "Ships in October" time frame (was probably 15-20 minutes after midnight). Wondering if anyone from launch night with that shipment range have started shifting to the "Preparing to ship" status yet?

Thanks!

For those of you with "ship in October" woes, my mom ordered a 16 GB Gold from Verizon on launch day and her ship day is November 4. That's right, November 4.

Luckily, she's patient.

Quick update - the gold iPhone order status changed today from "Processing Items" to "Preparing Shipment". I'm hoping in theory that means it's moving through the assembly cycle now.

Fingers crossed.

I ordered 16GB iphone 5s from ATT on Sept 20, 2013 at 11:00am CST. When I ordered the phone, it gave me an estimate date to ship of 10/21-10/31. Today, I received an email stating that it is Texas and I will receive it on the 8th. I am in Mississippi by the way.

Ordered 9/20/13 at about 7:15 am PST. Status is still "Processing Item" =/

I ordered a 16GB Gold iPhone 5s from apple unlocked on release date 15 minutes after launch and got a shipping time of "October". On Friday, (October 4) the status of the order changed to "Preparing For Shipment". At the moment, on the apple website, the status is still the same. I went on the UPS website and tried to track by reference hoping my phone is actually shipped (Put the phone number associated with the order in the shipment reference section, then put your country and postal code in) and it says that my iPhone has shipped! It was departed from ZhengZhou, China today and the expected delivery is this friday! Super stoked.

zaf326 · October 6, 2013 5:32PM

placed an order on the apple site for the gold 32gb on sept 20th and the date I was given was October. I received an e-mail from apple on Oct 4th and this is what it says:

''Dear Zafran Shazad,

Your iPhone 5s is scheduled to ship in October . We will email you a more specific ship date shortly.

I completed my order with in 5 mins and I got the phone at my door on 9/30 . I was little suprised as my order shows it will be shipped between 10/1 - 10/30 . IPhones 16gb gold ATT.

louisel · October 7, 2013 3:31AM

I ordered my 32 gig gold Iphone 5s at shortly after midnight on launch day. It is on the way and scheduled to arrive this week.

jujodi · October 7, 2013 3:08PM

Has anyone who had an estimated ship date of 11/4 seen an update on their status?

seanadam · October 7, 2013 3:45PM

No, I signed up on 9/20 and still waiting. My status is "preparing shipment" from ATT website.

umar · October 7, 2013 6:51PM

Ordered 16GB Gold AT&T on the launch day around 3:30 am PST from the Apple's app.

Status has not changed since then and it says:

Processing Items Available to ship: October

princesspea120 · October 7, 2013 7:48PM

I ordered mine on 9/20 around 6:30pm EST through Apple website for a gold 64GB 5S. No change in status. I'm hoping it will ship by the end of the week.

ivyrae81 · October 8, 2013 3:04AM

My ship date moved from mid October to Nov 1-Nov 21... I'm not that patient, but went with the AT&T Next plan to get out of my contract and I update my phone every time a new iPhone comes out (I've had every model since 2008) so the part about getting a new phone every year made sense. I guess I don't have any other choice but to be patient...

joshtx · October 8, 2013 6:43AM

ordered 2, no change in status -

unlocked 16gb gold - sep 20, 3am pacific -> processing, oct

att 16gb gold - sep 21 -> processing, oct

sagz2525 · October 8, 2013 7:31AM

I purchased mine at 6:30 am through the apple store.

I just checked my order and it is still saying "Available to ship in October". Ummm... it's October 8th... time to send me a shipping date. LOL.

16GB Gold AT&T

Has anyone that ordered around this time frame received any updates re: theirs?

Thanks,

sagz2525 · October 8, 2013 7:33AM

Same here (6:30am Eastern)... I have not received any updates other than the "shipping available in October" message. Very annoying.

Has anyone had a gold iPhone 5s actually ship yet?
