Hi Rick and others,
I waited until this afternoon to place my order, but the shipping estimate here in Canada for the Gold, Silver and Black phones was the same this afternoon as they were at just after Midnight when I also checked. I was going to order an unlocked 5S 64 Gig in Gold directly from Apple, but all the shipping estimate said was "October". When I called the sales line today the lady told me this could mean first week of October or fourth week of October. Anyhow, I also ordered one of the leather cases to see what it's like and even if I don't use it I'll use another one which covers up most of the back of the phone. In the end I decided to go with the Space Grey, so basically the same Black phone I have now as my 4S. The good thing is that my 4S happens to act up a lot with the proximity sensor. I called tech support and explained this to the agent, I told him I am planning to buy an unlocked 5S 64 Gig at full price just as I bought my 4S 64 Gig at full price 2 years ago. He agreed that I should not have to deal with this when trying to sell the phone, created a case and said my Apple Care runs out October 17. As long as I call before then they will send me a new 4S 64 Gig Black iPhone, well, maybe a refurbished one, but for my purposes it will be a new phone. I still have the original package, an originally wrapped old style iPhone 4S headset and a few accessories. I am hoping my 5S arrives in time so I can get the 4S replaced without even having to use it so I can essentially sell it as a new, unused 4S 64 Gig which I expect will get me half the price of my new 5S. a big High Five to Apple's fantastic customer service.

Hi. When I ordered my 64gb gold right at 3.01am EST, it said shipping in 1 to 3 business days, expected delivery Sept. 30 - Oct. 2. I agree they must be in short supply or everyone is grabbing up the Gold. I had to be one of the first bunch as I got right in and ordered. Their expected delivery times have been known to be not so accurate, so I'm hoping it comes early.

When I checked in the Apple Store app last night it said shipping for an unlocked iPhone 5S 64 Gig Gold was "October", the same applied to the 16 Gig and 32 Gig Gold. Both the Space Grey and Silver models in all sizes showed a shipping time of 7 to 10 days. I think this shows that the Gold is either hugely popular or Apple has very short supply, my guess it is the first. I was going to order a Gold one, but now I decided to think it over for a day to see if I want to wait potentially anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, October is not a very precise estimate and I might just go ahead and get the Space Grey which I understand is almost Black. After all, I'm a guy, so who cares and once it's in the leather case or another case you don't see a lot of that shiny Gold colour anyways *smile*.
