AT&T Confirming Shipment of iPhone 4 Pre-Orders

Monday June 21, 2010 6:40 am PDT by Eric Slivka
Those customers lucky enough to successfully place iPhone 4 pre-orders through AT&T before the company's servers imploded last week might be interested to know that the carrier has begun confirming shipment to customers via FedEx. The carrier's activity comes after customers who pre-ordered through Apple began seeing movement yesterday.


Many customers' order statuses are showing their items having shipped on Friday, June 18th, but only now is AT&T updating its website with shipping information and sending out confirmation emails.

Apple's iPhone 4 is set to launch on Thursday, although a number of Apple pre-order customers are seeing FedEx delivery estimates of Wednesday. Apple has in the past, however, coordinated with carriers to hold delivery until official product launch days, and it is likely the company will do so again for iPhone 4.

Mine says shipped on the 17th as well but there is no information from fedex as of yet so I suppose they just got them ready to ship, they haven't actually handed them to fedex quite yet.

Either way, I am just glad to see them moving. I was starting to get jealous of my apple ordering friends ;)

Shows they are working on getting the orders fulfilled. Still plenty of time.

I ordered my iPhone from AT&T and the order status indicates that it shipped. I have never bought an iPhone on launch day or from anywhere other than an Apple store, and I have a question. AT&T's web site indicated that the new iPhone came activated. Does that mean that I won't have to stare at my new brick while the activation servers collapse under the weight of over 600,000 activations? I'm just wondering.

Thanks

For those with shipping numbers, were you "backordered" or not?

I'm not sure anyone knows. This is first time Apple has done the pre-order thing with iPhones?

I doubt it, otherwise your current phone wouldn't be working...

I ordered Premiere and mine showed "backordered" on the regular AT&T site up until last night. Last night the backordered was removed...then this morning, mine showed "Shipped" and had a tracking number that was non-clicky.
