Still status is Preparing. I ordered on 23rd September.

If it is preparing to ship, the status should soon change to “Shipped”. When that happens, you will receive an email with an updated arrival date, and tracking information. Also at that time, your method of payment will be charged.

What was the anticipated delivery date provided when you ordered your device?

Has that date already passed?

Then it's not delayed. It could be delayed if you don't get your phone by the 23rd. If the status is Preparing as opposed to Processing, then your phone is preparing to ship and your payment method will be charged. It sounds like your order is progressing normally.


The order progression is as follows:


  1. Order placed and Processing.
  2. It will say Processing until the moment it is Preparing to Ship. This is the step which concerns most people as there is no status change until the item is preparing to ship and this can seem a long time.
  3. Shortly after that it will say Shipped and Apple will send you an email with tracking information.
