Because it's Apple. Sometimes they do take the preorders for granted. Last year for the 6s+ I didn't even preorder. I went on launch day around 1:30 pm, with no sight of people waiting outside, and was told they already "sold out" for the day. The next day (Saturday) I was able to reserve a RG 6s+ without any hassle. Every day for the next 5 days after that, they had plenty of stock if you reserved between 8-8:10 am.
Not saying it will be the same this time around, but it could happen. Apple likes to keep a little stock flowing to stores, to keep that glimmer of hope alive (for "impatient" and non-preorder customers).

I'm in Knoxville too, I'm down for Oct 4-10 delivery. I know where the distribution facility is located, so it's not too far away. Still holding out a sliver of hope for an early delivery, but it's fading fast.
If they change to preparing for shipment tomorrow and get a delivery date of Friday or Monday I would definitely just keep my order. If not then I'm checking my Apple Store
I just remember my apple watch going to preparing to ship the night before launch, and it didn't ship for a month, and you couldn't cancel. Clearly we are better off here though with shipping dates.
Well my girlfriend's Rose Gold 7+ which was also ships by 10/3 (she ordered at 8am ET from VZ) just got a tracking number and 9/16 delivery, stings a little but at least they'll be one 7+ in the house Friday.
Is anyone considering an Apple case for their phone? What about the Airpods?
(yeah, yeah I know our phones have not shipped yet! LOL)

AirPods are a day one purchase for me.
Also pre-ordered JB 7+ 128GB, with a 1:12am Mountain confirm email, Oct 4-10th group. No chance for launch date, but would be nice to see this earlier but, as with others I'm still in processing and I dont think we will see any movement on these until next week at the earliest.
Its clear that Apple did not have any stock of this color and must have been delayed on these due to manufacturing issues. I wish I would have known that prior and may have just gone for Matte Black. I'm going to guess store availability for these is going to be a huge problem as well given how the pre-orders went.

I though they were for me too until I read the reviews. It appears the sound quality is on par with the regular EarPods and I rarely use these because they sound terrible. I'll be skipping them.
See that's the problem with reviews I saw more reviews talking about how the sound quality was great. I mean I've always wished for these and now it's real so it's a given day one purchase for me. I have the Jaybirds wireless Bluetooth headphones which are apparently the best wireless headphones. The sound quality is better than the Apple headphones for sure however the fact that the jaybirds aren't truly wireless pisses me off because they look weird. Also they fit horribly and aren't comfortable at all. Impractical having to hold a button to turn on and off and the pairing is a bitch. The AirPods just seem like an overall win for me. I'll take a small dip in sound quality any day or impracticality.
Sorry. Used the Apple App on my iPhone. It was the first thing I could get to come up. I think it came up at about 12:07a.m.
And just the opposite. Insta-no buy. They are just bluetooth standard Earpods. And subjectively they look ridiculous. Beats WS3 are also using W1, so that may have some interest from me
I keep coming to this thread looking for good news and never see any.
I should've went with the Matte Black. I'd have a 16th ship date (probably) and wouldn't have to line up at 5AM.

According to the website, neither the Airpods (late October according to Apple.com) nor the Powerbeats 3 are available until fall. There is no date specified.
I was talking about the Wireless Solo 3, utilizing W1. Available now.

"We’ve also learned that most Apple retail stores will have very limited or no stock of iPhone 7 units this year. In a change from previous iPhone launches, many Apple retail stores won’t have stock of iPhone 7 reserved for customers lining up for launch day later this week on September 16. Instead, customers will be mostly limited to stock of iPhone 7 available to order online."

Cheers, everyone! If we can't have it... no one can!!!
Haha good point. That article also said there are no reservation times to pick up any Jet Black models
