Apple has updated the status of early iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, Apple Watch Series 3 and Apple TV 4K orders to 'Preparing to Ship'.
The new devices should be delivered and will become available in stores on September 22nd. There are some shipping delays for the cellular Apple Watch and select models of the iPhone 8; however, there isn't the supply shortage we're expecting to see for the iPhone X.
Has your order switched to preparing for shipment? Let us know in the comments!
