What does iPhone 15 preorder shipping status mean?

I preordered the iPhone 15 plus in blue 128GB at 7:24 AM CST.


The website for the order number states that it is processing, and my credit card hasn’t been charged yet. The estimated delivery date is this Friday (9/22), but will it arrive then when it isn’t even at “preparing to ship”? I’m also wondering why my card isn’t charged yet…

What does “ship” exactly mean?

"Ship" means it's in the posession of the carrier and on its way.

Why would it be a user to user forum for the shipment date?

I don't know why you came to this user-to-user forum to find out about your shipment date. Apple doesn't give the dates the phone ships. They give the date it's expected to arrive. If Apple is still telling you that yours is expected to arrive on 9/22, then you have the best information. No one here would know more.
