Pre-ordered on the 9th through Apple but using AT&T's installment plan. So my upfront cost was just taxes. The order is showing as processing, but I haven't seen the money come out of my account yet. Is this normal?

Yes... You should see the funds debited once you have a tracking number for shipping.

Yup, as Keith said, your card will be charged once your device is at the 'shipping' status. A status that will no doubt be brought to our attention here by plenty of members.

The money for mine showed up as authorized on Saturday, and actually posted last night.

CitizenOne (Apple Upgrade Program) charged my charge card on Sunday.

My charge through PayPal shows completed. Apple still shows "Preparing to Ship" but I can see my item on My UPS and I got a tracking number. So seems all is good.

I'm in the same boat, preordered from Apple through Verizon with a contract, it's still processing and no money has been exchanged.

I still have the tax amounts pending on my card, but I preordered throughly AT&T.

Been charged. Devices show "Preparing for Shipment" got tracking info via MyChoice, but not from Apple
