IPhone 5: Your order has been received, and is being processed?

I pre-ordered the new iPhone 5 at my local AT&T store on Tuesday, September 17th, 2012. I have been checking in on phone for status updates on my order ever since I placed it. Every time, for 2 weeks straight, it said, "The items you purchased are on backorder, and will be shipped as soon as possible." Finally, yesterday, it said, "Your order has been received, and is being processed." What does this mean, and when will I most likely receive my iPhone 5?

Why are you asking us instead of AT&T?

HOW WILL WE KNOW?

It means the order is being checked for credibility most likely. If it checks out fine (i don't know how long it takes) then they will send you the phone.

  • Why has my order with AT&T Been canceled? I ordered an Iphone 5c on Thursday and everything went through, I checked online today and it said my order was canceled… I didn't cancel the order and I checked my bank account and it said my orders were still pending along with other purchases that went through successfully. What is the cause of this and why didn't anyone call or notify me?
  • Item I've order has been MC999 eBay Listing Removed what will happen? I've order an iphone case about a week ago and I live in Australia and its being sent from Hong Kong. It is marked as posted and I'm not sure what's gonna happen after this, will it be returned or will it get here and the transaction has already gone through meaning I've bought it already.
  • Text messages not received after being abroad (iPhone)? I was in Australia for three months and brought my Verizon iPhone 4 with me, although it did not work at all for calls/texts I used it as an ipod and camera. I was excited when I landed in the US to turn off airplane mode and receive a barrage of texts/voicemails but absolutely none came through. I know some where sent because people facebooked me asking why I wasn't replying. Any way I can find these text messages or are they lost for ever?
  • My iPhone 6s has no phone case and I've dropped it several times but there has never been any damage The screen hasn't cracked and it still works like new and the phone is as old as when the first iPhone 6s came out. But it's just funny because i Never have a case on it and it's fallen, maybe only 3 feet at most onto wood floors and nothing has happened yet. Anyone else relate?
