Is the iPhone 5 actually shipping on the 26th of October?

I ordered an iPhone 5 last week but Verizon told me it would ship October 26.Is it normal for apple to send it out before that date? I need to know because I'm going out of town that whole week.

Cancel your pre-order while you can! IOS 6 is a disaster, it's unusable.

Yes it will arrive that day. The factories had a speed bump in manufacturing and because of increase in sales they are behind on that. You can try and see if a store has it in stock. In regards to iOS 6, it is amazing. There are a few kinks that apple is goign to fix over the next few updates. Just like they did with iOS 5 and iOS 4, so there's nothign to worry about! And if you have an iphone, i'm sure your already using ios6

  • When will my iphone come in with shipping? I ordered my iphone 5 on Sunday through fedex. They said it would take two days to ship. As you probably know, memorial day was monday and sunday and and holidays they are closed. So if they start my shipment today, will it get here by tomorrow or thursday?
  • Is the iPhone 6s Plus still good in October 2017? The reason I ask is because I currently have a nexus 6p but the battery is horrible! So I want a different phone and my girlfriend has kind of persuaded me to get an iPhone. But I can't afford a 7/7 plus plus, or 8/8 plus so that is why I'm looking at the 6s plus. I also have a MacBook so I know that if I get an iPhone It will work good with it.
