Well since yesterday morning when I received the shipping email, its been sitting in China with a UPS delivery date of tomorrow 9/21 (apple said 9/23). Just checked again and its been pushed to 9/22 on UPS. Come on UPS!!!! I need my phone!!!!!!! Actually I don't need it, I just want it really bad.
 
Safe to say they are probably manufacturing more JB, since there hasn't been anything for the people still processing Yesterday or Today (so far)?
Mine is still processing.....Sprint 128gb 7+ jb delivery date of 9/27-10/4 Going on my tenth day of processing!!!!
 
both of my and wife's 7+ 128GB Verizon sat in ZhengZhou for 42 hours before they left for Incheon, now they are on their way to Anchorage. Here is the tracking of the shipment from UPS

09/18/2016 5:24 P.M. Origin Scan
China 09/18/2016 8:40 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

If you have the same/similar time points, our phones are on the same flight, UPS 99 - https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS99/history/20160920/1348Z/RKSI/PANC

The plane will land in Anchorage at 12:12 AKDT, then takes off at 15:08 AKDT then land in Louisville at 12:40 AM EDT, tonight... Then the orders will get on different planes to your nearest UPS airports...
 
Why is it that some people have departure scans from Incheon and some don't? I have the same arrival scan time in Incheon as everyone else.

Not sure, but apparently that flight got capped. A lot of us missed the UPS99 flight to AK and will likely have to wait an additional day (Thursday?) to get ours.

Thank you. Didn't know that happened. Figured they would only ship what they could handle.
 
Doesn't make a difference. Mine was upgraded for free, and still sat in China for 48 hours and now still sitting in Korea, missing flights. I'm so used to seeing things move fast when they're over on that side of the globe from Apple, so this is extremely disappointing.

yep - At that point the expedited shipping was just lip service.
 
At this point I don't know who to believe anymore. Still without a departure scan from Incheon. I guess I'll know my fate in another 2.5 hours when it lands in AK.

So much for "next day air". Bulls**t!!! :mad::(

My guess is that you missed the flight unfortunately. I am one of the ones that did get the departure scan out of Iceheon. This is the weirdest year for iPhone pre-order shipping that I can remember.
 
Original: 10/10 - 10/17 (AT&T 256GB)
Updated: Shipped out, arrival scan at ZhengZhou, China, Delivered by 9/22
 
OMG I just received this text!!!

AT&T Free Msg: Your iPhone 7 Plus is on its way. As a reminder, you can receive up to $650 in monthly credits toward your new phone when you trade in an eligible iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6S Plus. Go to att.com/tradeinoffer for full details including special trade instructions.
 
Ehh you think we going to be fine right? Cause ever since we did the change for hub pick up. It hasn't pushed my date to the 22nd Thursday instead of original wensday-.-
I hope so. No way of knowing now that they don't show a date. Hoping UPS is just backed up and that it's actually on its flight.

And for those whose iPhone made to the Incheon-to-Anchorage flight today, 9/20, you can go to this link (http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KSDF/scheduled?;offset=0;order=filed_departuretime;sort=ASC) to see if there is a flight depart from Louisville to your city on early Wednesday, 9/21 morning. If there is one, it is very likely that you will get your phone tomorrow, Wednesday, 9/21.

Keep your hope up!

So I called ups. The lady said as long as my phone clears customs I will have it Thursday. She said the only scan I should look for is the out for delivery scan.

There's at least 6 people over in the AT&T preorder thread already reporting this same text as well. Unfortunately that many people at once getting the same text while I wish it was phones shipping I have my doubts.
