Should've PRE ordered my iPhone 5 through sprint... I'd have it tomorrow.... NOT HAPPY that I ordered through apple...

So I pre ordered my iPhone 5-- 15 minutes after pre orders started online at 2 am (central time) and pre ordered a black 16 gb iPhone with a delivery date of 9-21 (which is fairly common I guess for most people that ordered that early)
Literally an hour AFTER I pre ordered my iphone 5 on APPLE- my husband decides last second he wants me to pre order him one if there's any left... of course Apple's pre order delivery date had been pushed to 2-3 weeks an hour after pre orders had opened at 2 am, so I quickly logged onto SPRINT's website and noticed they still had some available for 9/21 delivery so I pre ordered him the same iPhone as me....
Well I am wondering if ANY one that ordered through Apple has gotten their iPhone SHIPPED yet- because my order is STILL being processed for shipment and my HUSBANDS iPhone 5 I had pre ordered through SPRINT is going to be delivered by TOMORROW....
*** is that about?? I thought I was making a smart decision and would get my iPhone FASTER by pre ordering through the SOURCE of the iPhone.... NOT A CELL PHONE CARRIER... I am BEYOND mad that an hour after ordering mine at the butt crack of dawn I ordered my husbands phone and his will be here 3 DAYS BEFORE release day!? MINE HASNT EVEN SHIPPED........
>:( LAST time I EVER order directly through Apple for a phone... EVER...

I was trying to order through Sprint first at 12am PST but couldn't get on their website.  Finally at 12:30am the Apple site worked for me so I went through them.  My mom ordered two phones from Verizon at the exact same time(both lines had an upgrade available).  One of the orders got an error on it and Verizon could not tell her why when she called them this morning.  They had her cancel her order and replace the order, she did and the sales rep she talked to her supposedly put her back in line where she was and assured her that she would recieve both phones on Friday, so we shall see.

  • Will plan change when ordering iPhone 6 through Apple's Site?

    I am trying to upgrade to the iPhone 6 through Apple's site.  I am currently on the Loyalty plan with Verizon ($60/month for 2g data and unlimited voice and texts).  When I go through Apple's site, it is requiring me to select a data plan and then it is tacking that on top of my "current voice plan" - increasing my expected monthly bill by $30.  When I try to order through Verizon, it allows me to keep my same plan. Here's a screenshot:
    I'd like to order through Apple so that I can get the phone faster.  My question is, if I do order through Apple, will it mess up my plan?  Should I just order it and then call Verizon to make sure the Apple changes to my plan don't carry over?  It appears as though when ordering through Apple, the changes in my bill will take effect immediately.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

        Thanks for checking in with us elmoemily. I know how important it is to keep your current plan. Since Apple doesn't have the option to see promotional plans and such, they will ask you to change your plan, as you are seeing. However, when you go to activate your phone, you can simply call us, and we can ensure that you can keep your current plan. You won't be at risk of losing it. No need to worry! I am excited for you to get your new phone!

  • How does pre-ordering with Apple work?

    For people who have previously pre-ordered with Apple (for an iPad or iPhone) or are familiar with their pre-order process, would you mind explaining the process to me?
    In other words, will their website lag due to an overload of orders? Will everyone be guaranteed an iPhone 4 on the 15th? Is there limited availability? Will they be depleted out of iPhones if I order an hour after?
    I don't care when I get it, but will I be guaranteed one on the pre-order date?
    Thanks!

    What has happened in the past is the pre-order date is when you can place an order for the phone. You will not receive it until at least the 24th (available date). If you want to be one of the first on your block to get one, I'd recommend ordering as early as possible. You will be told the prospective "receive by" date when you order. Historically, those that order early, receive them on the available date. Of course you can also camp out at your local Apple Store (as has become an Apple tradition).
    It is possible there might be a lag during the initial rush, but I doubt it. Apple has figured out how to take orders fairly efficiently

  • HT5714 Why did I pay $19 for Start Trek Into Darkness pre-order, if Apple KNEW they were going to release a bundle on the release date and I could have got the other Star Trek movie for just $5 more?  What the heck Apple, I feel completely ripped off.

    I didn't even have time to cancel the preorder as that processed a couple minutes before the bundle was posted.
    Pre-orders are apparently not worth my time ever again.  

    Go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.

  • Can i get my att upgrade discount if i pre order iphone 5 through apple?

    i want to pre order new iphone 5... was wondering if i use apple.com if i will be able to get it for the upgrade discounted price or if i have to go through att to get it?

    I had the same question. Yes, you can order the iPhone through the Apple online or Retail store. They have the ability to check your eligibilty during the order and apply your discounted price. I just confirmed this by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. Additionally, you can go the online Apple Store > Shop iPhone > iPhone 5 (link below) and you can even check your eligibility there - proving that apple has that capability ;-)

  • Having Issues With IPhone 4 Pre Order at Apple & AT&T

    Hi all
    I to tried to order this morning and am stuck in the loop at the Apple site. I then went to the AT&T site (Premier and regular) and those give you the link to pre-order then only show you the 3GS. Even the AT&T rep could only bring them up.
    I do have a question for all. When I placed my business number in (have business and personal) to the Apple site it told me to go to AT&T. My question is if I am finally able to order a phone under my personal line can I use this with my business line (transfer the phone to that line) ? I am eligible for upgrades on both lines.
    Reason I ask is that I will be buying one phone per account but as the white is not available was thinking I would order the black first on my personal line and pair it with my business number. I know you could do this by calling AT&T and switching over your SIM card in the past but with the new micro sims is that possible ?
    Thanks all, hopefully we will all be able to pre order successfully soon

    I had the same problems with the Apple site. The AT&T site began offering the iPhone 4 pre-order around 4 AM CDT and I was able to pre-order through them on the first try, after several failures on the Apple site. The only downside is that you have to have it shipped, so you can't pick it up at a store as you can with the Apple site.

  • Why should i pre-order a movie?

    What are the reasons behind pre-ordering a movie rather than waiting for its release?   If you pre-order, does the movie automatically download into your iTunes library upon release?

    I have no idea why you would do this.

  • Pre-order at Apple store

    just wondering do u guys think apple should or could do pre-order at the apple retail store? save people alot of time and them alot of time as well. For me i would have to drive almost 2 hours to get to the nearest apple store, which i cant commit to that everyday hoping they would have an ipad 2 in thier shipment. So if they could do pre-order people would stop calling in every day to bug them about it, and sometime might not even make it in on time to get it before it sold out.

    i did the same..what i did was i ordered mine on apple.com early in the morning on the 12th (which pushed to 3-4 weeks) then i also place pre-order with best buy(1-3 weeks)
    just a little tips for those out there, you should pre-order urs online now or do the best buy pre-order and in that mean time just keep checking with local apple store and maybe you'll get luck and u can always cancel those order. Apple wont charge you until the product start shipping. just a good way to cover all your ground.
    Feel like apple got me on a string and making me running around

    Too much coffee? We will all get out phones, it will be okay. Step away from the ledge.
    And If you got the iPhone from Apple, it was 50 bucks less.

  • Pre-order from apple or AT&T

    For those of you who have pre-ordered phones in the past, did you find you got better results doing it from apple rather than AT&T or vice versa? Just wondering if it really even matters. Thanks!

    If you pre-ordered quickly enough from Apple after pre-ordering began for the iPhone 4, Apple promised delivery on the same day it went on sale in the brick-and-morter stores. What actually happened was that a lot of people (myself included) who pre-ordered received them the day before the official start-of-sales date.

  • Any difference between pre ordering from Apple vs. T-Mobile?

    I am deciding if one of them would be better choice than another. Does anyone know the difference between 2 choices? Also, when would they ship pre-ordered iphone6?

    Just to double check.  Go into the Purchased tab of the App store.  You should see the apps are "installed".  If they have a button that says "install", I'd do that.
