After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
If you ordered before 6PM on the 7th, you still have a good chance at receiving it on the 14th.I wasn't one of those early orderers. Not guaranteed to get my iPhone on launch day then.

Still worried
I am still back ordered. No activity today from AT&T.
If a tracking number doesn't get e-mailed to you by Wednesday night or Thursday morning then ITS PROBABLY NOT coming Friday. If mine doesn't come Friday then so be it. Yeah its gonna suck but I'm sure I'll have it early next week.
Sorry, but this is incorrect. The email doesn't mean anything. As I said before in this thread, many people didn't receive any email at all who ordered from AT&T last year and they still received their iPhone 4 the day before the launch date. An email is only a confirmation of the order, but isn't a requirement in order for the order that was placed to ship out. Once again, orders can still be tracked through AT&T's Order Status page and will be processed just as quickly for those that don't receive an email as those who did.
Ok then I will rephrase what I said. If a tracking number isn't visible in AT&T's order status page by Thursday the latest it's probably not coming Friday. This is gonna be very interesting to see how this plays out.
I agree with this. So far the status on mine is still backordered, so if I don't see that change to shipped with a tracking number by Wednesday, I probably won't receive it on Friday.
Hopefully a tracking number will be visible on there before/if I get an e-mail with tracking info.
Funny thing is, this is what happened to me with last years iPhone 4 order. I received an initial confirmation email from AT&T, and then never received another one till it was almost at the store where I ordered it from. It didn't matter anyway as I was tracking it all along from the order Status page.
