I ordered a 32GB gold 5s for AT&T. AT&T's site was HORRIBLE and Apple's was silky smooth. Having said that, I did order within the first TEN minutes and watched my shipment ETA go from 1-3 to 7-10 business days…in under 10 minutes!!! That's ridiculous! I received my order confirmation at 12:11am PT/3:11am ET.
And no, it wasn't because so many more people ordered iPhones either! The ridiculously low (and sometimes absent altogether) stock of enough iPhones 5s devices was and continues to be the culprit. Not cool on Apple's part for teasing the 20th, and then so many people were disappointed. I knew something was up the minute I found out that there were not going to be pre-orders for the 5S, only the 5C. I've pre-ordered the 4S and 5 last year and everything was always perfect. I've been conditioned to expect the best from Apple and this was not one of its glorious moments.
How many of you have received yours? And does last Friday count as one of the 7-10 business days? LOL...I know, I know. IMO, it should, because it was just TEN minutes into the day, so we're on business day #6 today, Friday, Sept. 27, right? (and yes, first world "problems", I know lol)
