The Canadian Apple site just lists OCTOBER for any Gold Phone.

 

[Trojita]

I just got my order in. Space Gray 64GB.

yep, saw that too

 

[MThanded]

Cos I'm paying full price and they are charging $800 instead of $750

Oh ok I see.

 

[Jugendstil]

I ordered 32GB Silver through the Apple Store and Verizon site. Will probably cancel the Apple Store order since the VZW one is expected to ship sooner. Hopefully they don't cancel each other out. I'll worry about it in the morning.

 

[Gotchaye]

My billing address is incorrect but i cannot modify my order. Goddamnit.

I have this issue too, sort of. Saving loads of money on a family plan with grandfathered unlimited data, but it insisted on shipping to my parents' place. Good news if I can modify that once it confirms.

 

[potam]

Is gold popular just because it's new? It's the only one showing October on apple.com

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Original iPhone -> 3GS -> 4S -> 5 -> 5S

Set alarm for 1:59 CST.

Woke up. Rolled over. Opened app. It's WORKING AND UP!

Painless purchase of 16GB white/silver 5S and AC+ on AT&T with expedited shipping for ten bucks. Hoping I get it by end of next week.

Bragged on Facebook, posting on the forum. Back to bed.

Good luck everyone!

Both Silver and Gold are supposed to have low stock.

 

[TUSR]

I just looked at iFixit's tear down. Some weird machining tool paths for the aluminium.

Yeah Apple always defaults the shipping to the address associated with the plan. You can change it once it confirms the order, which is exactly what I'm waiting for now.

 

[Trojita]

I don't know how you guys can get by with 16GB.

 

[potam]

I don't know how you guys can get by with 16GB.

Streaming music + netflix + don't play most of the shit games on iOS.



edit: and I don't take 50 pictures of each meal. I may have a couple gigs at most of photos on my phone.

32GB is that sweet spot.

 

[amnesiac]

I made that mistake with the 4S. Better to have too much than not enough.

Apple Inc. has asked its suppliers to increase production of the gold-colored iPhone 5S by an additional one-third after seeing strong demand, people familiar with the situation said. It isn’t clear whether there are currently supply constraints manufacturing the new iPhone.

Fudge!!! Apple store won't let me cancel and there's a best buy near me with some in stock with in store pick up

It's almost as if they could have seen the demand had they opened preorders a week ago on this thing.

 

[MThanded]

I want to go to bed but I need to fix the billing address.

 

[Gotchaye]

I still have 5GB free on the 16GB 4 I've had for three years. And a lot of that is games I've downloaded because they were free. I only really need internet, maps, podcasts, music, and Kindle, and I don't have that much music. Edit: Also Netflix.

You can cancel once your order moves to being processed.

 

[MThanded]

Question is when will this happen. I'm still waiting over here.

 

[polyh3dron]

yeah if you like actually putting apps, music and videos on your phone it's pretty tough.

 

[NIGHT-]

I don't know how you guys can get by with 16GB.

What do you guys keep on your phones? I don't watch movies on my phone outside of netflix and HBO go and I find gaming on phones to be awful. 16gb is plenty for music and apps

 

[Trojita]

I hope I made correct decision getting Space Grey this time.

I'm coming from a white iPhone 4S I really liked, but I decided to change it up.

 

[subrock]

There's probably a huge server job/ shipping label printer working at full speed as we speak.

 

[potam]

God damnit Best Buy you temptress! I don't want to pay $50 more! STOP SHOWING ME 9/20 IN STORE PICKUP YOU WHORE!

 

[Spiderjericho]

I have an iPad and iPhone. The pad is 32GB. I learned my lesson. The phone I don't need 32-64GB since I don't game too much and just throw videos and comics on the iPad.

 

[KHarvey16]

Hmmm...Apple isn't letting me change the shipping address even though it's being processed now. I remember I was able to change it after the fact when I ordered my 4S a couple years ago. Did the policy change?

 

[Spiderjericho]

Just do it. Guaranteed Day 1.

I caved and got it. Will still try for Sprint and cancel one of them. I'm so weak lol

I wonder if I'll be able to price match?

Some people said you could change it after you order.

And with that I'm done. Time to go back to bed.

 

[Yoshichan]

16GB is more than enough.

 

[potam]

I probably would, but it's the BB near my house and not work. I'm just gonna go to the Apple store and maybe Verizon and BB near work sometime tomorrow if I can dip out and try to pick one up, but I have my online order guaranteed.

Meh

 

[Mononoke]

I don't know how you guys can get by with 16GB.

Spotfiy/ iTunes Match.

16gb is plenty if you aren't loading it with physical data. Got netflix + HBGO for video. In fact, most of my entertainment is streaming and not physical.

 

[Cloudy]

Guys, Sprint mobile site works!

 

[KHarvey16]

Yeah usually you just wait until it goes from the initial ordering stage to confirmed or processing and then you're able to cancel or edit. It used to let you change the shipping address but now it doesn't look like it does .

if you can see the blue cancel button on the order status page and hit "show order details". You should see an edit button next to your address.

Right. I just get a message about how it needs to ship to the address associated with the plan.

Sounds like you have your answer then.

 

[KHarvey16]

Lol, yes but this is a change from how it used to work. When I ordered the 4S I was able to change it at this stage despite it saying when the order was placed that it had to ship to my billing address.

 

[MThanded]

Is it possible my order hasn't changed to process because my billing address was wrong?

If so I can't cancel and reorder either. I'm stuck :-(

Not sure what to do. Can't call because they are getting swamped.


deadlock

 

[reilo]

Done. Apple.com AT&T version shipping 1-3 days.

Ditto.

In with Sprint and Best Buy. I'll try to get a pricematch at Best Buy but I'll probably cancel the sprint since it says 3 weeks (although they charged me already LOL)

Yeah sprint is on that serious BS. Must have taken everything to the brick and mortar stores.

Just seems ludicrous that they'd immediately debit on something they can't ship for 3 weeks.

 

[subrock]

Damn, apple.com is still at 1-3 days 75 minutes after opening, whereas the Canadian store started at 7-10.

I was able to get through on the T-Mobile site for Saturday delivery.
