Why will it take so long for my iPhone 5 to come?

I pre order my iPhone 5 on the day of the release as soon as I could at 9:00am so why is the estimated delivery 1st October instead of 21st september? I pre ordered from apples website

Because there are thousands upon thousands of other people that pre-ordered one as well. Calm down, you'll get it soon.

You wernt on e the the 1st batch of preorders.
apple is saying october 1st for the 2nd batch, but it will probably be mid to late october.

Hi… Congrats for pre-order, Apple has got many pre-orders till now and shipping for all the orders much soon is not possible due to this, you will probably get the iPhone 5 when Apple starts the shipping which will be after 2-3 weeks. You can also check http://www.techone3.in/tag/apple for more updates regarding Apple iPhone 5.

Think about it. Thousands and thousands of people want to godet their new iPhones as well. Apple has A LOT of shipping to do for the preorders, and you are just one of all those people.
Your iPhone will get here soon enough, and when it does, it will be worth the wait.

They can only ship so many out in one day. So say its 1000 a day and you're the 10000 order, then you have to wait 10 days. Also, I ordered mine at 4:15am EST and my estimated delivery is Oct. 5.

Depends on when they fix it… If they do… Maybe October 1st or 5th or so… Maybe sooner if they change the date… I pre-ordered it at 8:00 am and it says October 5th for me:/

Also: They sold like a million+ pre-ordered… The 4S sold like 1 million in a day… The iPhone 5 sold pre-ordered 20x faster than the iPhone 4S… We will all have to wait D: but then again, a million is a LOT.

  • Why does my iphone 4s take so long to come on? Right so of a night i chage my phone fully and when i turn it on the next morning it seems to take about 8-10minutes to come on and then it freezes for a good 5 minutes and then i have to reset it! Could anyone help me with this? Or should i take my phone to the local apple store?

  • How long does it take an iPhone to recharge after it had been dead a long time? My cousin just gave me her old iPhone 5. It's in good condition but it's been sitting in her drawer for months. I don't know how many months but a pretty long while. Anyways, i out it on the charger and it hasn't moved from the red. It's been on maybe… At least a half hour. Is it okay? I don't know anything about these machines lol.
