The chat rep said that anyone could very likely see a "surprise down the road" meaning a delivery date bump-up, as we had all assumed.
Look - I want my phone as soon as possible, just like the next guy (or girl). BUT, people on this forum are just obsessed with every little detail from anyone they can talk to.
Do you really think that Apple's chat rep's have substantial information on manufacturing and shipping information?
Our awesome, amazing phones will be here when they get here people. Chatting and calling reps is going to make absolutely "0" difference.
I'm not trying to come down on anyone or be a jerk. Just truth.
I ordered:
"Matte" Black iPhone 7 128GB, for my fiancée as a surprise
Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus, 256GB, for me
Of course, hers has changed to "Preparing for Shipment" and mine is still processing (Sept 26-Oct 3)! LOL She keeps asking me if I think it's worth it for her to upgrade and I just keep saying "Nah, nah, maybe let's wait a month or so to see if there are any major flaws." Little does she know...
Gonna be sort of bittersweet to see her stoked about her new phone, while I'm going to have to wait another week or two. C'est la vie!
