Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

iPhone 5 shipping

I ordered an i5 early (4:30AM, EST) using the app. It was quick and easy. I have a question about the shipping. My confirmation says "available to ship: 2 weeks."


I suspect that this is a standard response until they match first-day orders with inventory, then they will give a specific date (hopefully the 21st).


Does anyone know what this means?

iPhone 4, Windows 7

I ordered my phone at 3:46 EST. When started the ordering process, I was given a Delivery date of 9/21; however, when I completed the order and got my Order Confirmation it said: "Shipping in 2 weeks. Expected delivery date of 10/5." I called Apple 2 days later, and I was told that "EVERYONE" got the 2-week shipping notice (a lie), and that I will not receive it on 9/21, but that I MAY receive it sooner than 10/5. She said that they simply did not have enough of them manufactured (although they seem to have enough of them manufactured to launch the product in 20 other countries next week). Just to bug them, I called Apple again on Wedn. The guy then told me that I ordered the phone just 4-5 minutes too late to receive it on 9/21, and that I will have to wait until 10/5, if not later!!!
