Right! My fiancé thinks I'm crazy but I can't help to obsess over checking everything about my order multiple times a day!

Awesome news!! Anyone in the US got a preparing for shipment status yet?
I pre ordered mine on 9/9 right at 3:00:55 am Est from att and the same day around 8/9am it was preparing for shipping already lol. Hasnt moved since...the only thing that has changed is that my credit card had the payment pending and now its gone

For a jet black 7+?

Edit: ATT preparing to ship is the same as processing for Apple
 
My contribution to the noise...

Ordered a JB 7+ 256 from Apple using the store app as soon as my little fingers could press the buttons.
I got a Oct 4-10 delivery date.

A few days ago, I tried to upgrade my shipping using apple chat and was denied on two separate occasions.

Today, however, I noticed that my billing phone number was incorrect (an old number I no longer use). I had purchased using Apple Pay...so I guess it defaulted to this old number for some reason...regardless, my order seemed to make it to processing without issue. But to avoid delay, I decided to call today and have my billing phone number changed in the off chance it would not process and delay my order going forward. FWIW, I actually asked this exact question over the apple chat, and he told me not to worry about it...but I still worried since apple support seems about as consistent as the Clintons.

So I spoke with apple over the phone today and updated to the correct billing phone number. When that was finished, I casually asked about upgrading my shipping to next day air. She told me to hold on so that she could "ask". She then went away for 2-3 minutes (presumably to talk to a supervisor...why else would I be put on hold?).
She came back in a couple minutes and told me that was no problem...an upgrade to next day air would be $4 and would bump up my delivery time to Sept 27 to Oct 1.
She charged me $4 and now my delivery window is bumped up, but my ship window remains unchanged (still 2-3 weeks as it was when I ordered).
The only thing slightly encouraging to me about this is that I seemed to have had this confirmed through some kinda supervisor conversation at Apple.

Does this make a difference? I honestly don't think anyone knows...no one on Macrumors and likely nobody even at Apple. But if $4 gives me the chance of an earlier iPhone, I'm all for it.

Oh wow. Hey if you guys want to believe that I faked it, I can't stop you since there's literally no way to verify a screenshot. But really this was just meant to show you guys that there is something happening at the backend at least.

I'm past doubting people. I'll take whatever I can get. Just going for some comedic relief

I choose to believe you, so keep us updated on any more updates.
 
I'm just saying........ everyone who has waited days, weeks and possibly to 2017 for a Jet Black iPhone 7..... BETTER POST AN UNBOXING PHOTO!

That's all I got :)

Fake or not, we're just here for some laughs while we anxiously wait. Keep us updated.


Otherwise I'll ship you my Note 7.

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a while just to see status updates. Lo and behold I was just prepping some dinner and I get an email from apple telling me my payment information needed updating (turned out my bank was being cautious). They charged for my phone and it went to preparing for shipment. Still says Sept 26-Oct 3 though.

Identical here too!
Never know it may come. I have same 256 jet plus. Card has been charged.

NO! I BELIEVE YOU! The little bit of hope I've been getting from posts like yours here and there is all that I'm living for at the moment.

I think people have better things to do than to photoshop a status change. Thank you for sharing I am still holding hope
