I have been following this thread since pre-orders and I made an account just to comment this! I ordered an AT?&T Jet Black 7 Plus about 10 minutes after the site was online. I was given the dates of 10/4 - 10/10 and received shipping information on the 19th saying my order has shipped. Like most of you, I have been stuck in Korea with the 8:01 arrival scan. UPS first gave me my shipping date on Wednesday, then Thursday, and now unavailable. Apple's shipping date is for tomorrow. I just finished chatting with Apple Support and they said it's an issue with UPS' tracking information and to expect my Phone tomorrow! Support actually said, "No, no When it comes to this information, UPS only has half of the information, where as to we at Apple have it all!"

Hope this is somewhat helpful to you guys and I hope we get our phones tomorrow!


Same story as you same outcome I'm hoping man

I hope you didn't give half these people false hope. Didn't you see what they did after an unreliable UPS estimate?

Beautiful, thank you for sharing! Would you mind posting a pic of it from the front while in that case? Aside from the camera cutout on the back, can you tell that it's JB while in there? I have a Ringke Fusion Crystal clear case ready for mine (which has been marinating in Incheon, KR for several days) but I still can't decide whether to go with the clear case, an Apple case, or just go naked and live with the abrasions...

The front looks the same as the iPhone 6 with the same case. I also bought a clear case for the iPhone 7+ but I don't like it. I think it shows the dust and dirt too well...

I hope Apple didn't give me false hope either but I just wanted people to know that there is a better possibility of getting it tomorrow. Even if it does come Monday, it's way ahead of the scheduled 10/4 - 10/10

Thanks for sharing the clear case pic... I'm sure it looks different in person, but in the pic it looks awesome in the clear case. Is that a Spigen?

One other question: Is the JB as bad with fingerprints as everyone is saying? When people tweet these photos of it completely caked in fingerprints, I have to wonder if they're getting their hands all greasy intentionally and then pressing really hard all over it to make it look that bad, or if it really gets covered in noticeable prints just from regular use.

It's weird like I want to believe this but at the same time how does Apple know more than UPS or have more information?

For what it's worth, I'm in the same situation and chatted with Apple Support yesterday and was also told a 9/23 delivery date by Apple. This jives with what you're saying, because on UPS tracking it gives delivery date unavailable - so unless she pulled 9/23 out of thin air, perhaps they do have more info at Apple than we can see...

Maybe I should give the clear case another chance, but I really prefer the black silicon apple case. I haven't used the phone out of a case for more than a few minutes, but from what I can tell the fingerprint issue is overblown. That being said, if you do not use a case you will likely see lots of fingerprints from day to day use.

This is quite possibly the greatest post I've ever read in my lifetime. Hands down. Well done sir.

Hey, I'm in the 9/26-10/3 group and I'm in Incheon. You can't complain. You are way ahead of schedule...
Thank you, sir. Hopefully it distracted some of us from hitting refresh on our UPS profiles...if only for a few minutes

But it'll be in Incheon - with no plan after that.. So it could get a return trip scheduled to Anchorage?
Doubt that will happen...unless UPS requested 64A to arrive in Incheon so they can offload the rest of the shipments on that plane and send it back to the states for delivery tomorrow.

I took a few more of the clear case in case you are interested. Here's the link to purchase on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KU36SES/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Anybody has any updates or received shipping info for orders through Apple for T-mobile Jet Black 7 + 128 GB?

There wouldn't be enough time to get it to the Kentucky hub unfortunately, unless they plan on Saturday delivery for that batch.
