The Processing stage can take weeks (or longer); it depends on the product backlog and may include time to manufacture the product. It's everything between "Order Placed" and "Preparing to Ship." The Preparing to Ship status is usually a day or less.

Note that the estimated delivery date you were given when placing the order is usually pretty accurate. You can see the following for more information about order status: https://www.apple.com/shop/help/viewing_changing_orders
