Really?? I haven't heard of anybody getting a launch day delivery on the 7 Plus JB. Lucky you!


Still, from the sounds of it, this phone seems to be backordered to Oblivion. I'd be reluctant to assume a bump-up to launch day delivery

If I hadn't been through preorders before, I'd definitely assume that it's backordered too, but I remember thinking that my 6 Plus 2 years ago would be a couple weeks late and then the night before launch day I got a random shipping confirmation. For this year, yeah, maybe I will need to wait two more weeks, but I'm seeing other colors and sizes being bumped up so there's no reason to think that this color won't be bumped as well.
 
It's not as if Apple had 0 128 GB JB 7+ made when they launched the preorders
Whatever ones they had made likely went to press/reviewers, Apple employees, or other VIP insiders. That is why ship times immediately went to 9/26-10/3 then rapidly to 10/4-10/10. There was nothing available for launch stock.

Fair enough. Well hopefully everybody here sees some type of good news in the next couple days.

Exactly this.

What's odd is that every reviewer (The Verge, Engadget, CNET, etc.) all have Jet Black iPhone 7's and Black iPhone 7 Plus'. Even reviewers don't have the Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus.
 
Well, I found the first reviewer with a 7 + JB, Ben Bajarin, he got his today.

Well, I just got a little bit of hope. Looking back at the 6s Plus I pre-ordered from Apple for my aunt last year, it was promised for launch day delivery (9/25) and I didn't receive a shipment notification until 9/24 at 2:23 AM. It was sent via UPS Next Day Air Saver.

Although we weren't promised launch day delivery, I'm hoping history repeats itself and our phones are overnighted and deposited into our excited hands on launch day.
 
I've never wanted my credit card charged so badly before. I keep checking it and then I keep checking the loan website for any information. It just says my next charge will be in October.

Is it just me, or does he look like a cross between "Weird Al" Yankovic and Freddie Mercury?
 
I have a friend who works for Best Buy Mobile. Texted me today and said that iPhone 7's are showing up in their warehouse. They begin 7 plus preorders today. He said the earliest it says they will have JB 7+ is around Oct 7.

I am a third party saying this so it may not be completely accurate, but thought I would share.
I work for Best Buy. This is accurate. NO pluses at all launch day. Just iPhone 7's. 7 Pluses will be available in October.
