I did no such thing. I said you’re not being put off, not that you’re not put off. ‘Being’ here alluding to a state thereof, not an emotion.
That one took me a few seconds; we don’t really say “put off” (the emotion) around here. " src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />
Note: Thanks for placing your order. We estimate your item will ship on or between the dates provided.
We'll just have to wait and see, but I am patiently waiting. It's the price we pay for getting an 'exclusive' product like this soon after launch. I'm sure we'll ALL be happy once we receive our products! Next time we should all wait in line on release day but get there 2 days early and camp-out with our tents, cans of beans, and bottled water - then we'll get it immediately! HAHA...
After receiving an e mail last week saying my phone would be shipped on between 10/24-10/28 and delivered on November 4, I checked http://iphone-check.herokuapp.com/?zip=80005&color=gold&provider=att and saw there were 64g gold 5s's in a store not too far away. I had to cancel my phone order wait a few minutes and try ordering from the store before they ran out, which I did, and voila, I have my new iPhone without having to wait any more ridiculous time. I LOVE it!!
Sailorway-I used the same link to check stores in Albuquerque and found the 32G 5S was available in Gold for AT&T. I bit the bullet and cancelled my order online with Apple and waiting 5 excruciating minutes and was able to place my order once more online and it's now waiting for me when I get off work at my apple store. So excited!!
i ordered a gold 64 5s through AT&T business on 9/21. Was told it would ship between 10/21 and 10/30. Last week the website said the same under "your order". Today there are no dates of any kind indicated. Not looking good.
Verizon sold 3.8 million iphones in the 3rd quarter. Assuming most were 5s, we will have to wait a while. On a side note, Verizon wireless has 51% profit margin.
I checked again last night and my status was updated again to say it would ship between 10/21 and 10/30. Then this morning I got an email from AT&T saying it has shipped and I will get it on Saturday. YAHOO!
Verizon is killing me, I ordered mine on 9/29 through Verizon obviously and still no update. I got the following quote from Anandtech forum: "Order my Iphone 5 s 16 gb gold on oct3-13 from att website with shipping date and delivery 11/12 12/02
Just received an email two hours ago with with tracking number
I almost die could not believe my eyes
So it's in Texas now hoping for Friday delivery
Anyway I think that every one will get theirs earlier"
Verizon, I need my phone . My old (iphone 4) broke so for now I am using a flip phone. Not cool! Just ship the darn thing already, please! lol
GTTechie: i am in the same boat as you. Ordered 9/27 gold 16 GB. No update or anything i can't even look up my order online. When called customer service they told me the order will show-up only only when its ready for shipping. One customer rep told me their is no way it can be shipped earlier then 11/11.
Shan, I think you saw the post on Verizon discussion board that they are finally starting to ship the gold phones. Looks like you're an active user there. I can't post there since I am switching from ATT to Verizon, I don't have a login info. Hopefully only one more week to wait, fingers crossed.
Finally got my gold 16gb AT&T iPhone! Ordered on 9/28 shipped on 10/17 and received on 10/19. Exactally 3 week on the dot I got it in my hands and I'm lovin it!! It said it was gonna ship between 11/6 to 11/26 but got it way sooner.

Verizon had to carry over orders from end of Sep to October.

Yah!! Good to hear!!
It seems to me, that around 75% of the iPhone5s arrived in the #US today are gold versions. And all owners are quite happy to get it now !
How do you know that? Is there any article about that?
It seems the iPhone 5s is massively shipped the last two days in the US – even the gold version.
A good sign. Same in Japan. But in Germany are only very few customers who get it. Hope that will change in the next week(s). I wait since 30 days.
i understand but how possible you could know that. I am curious.
