12:09am too... It appears we must of missed the first batch.

I'm in the :09 group as well and am pretty sure I have seen people with the same order time get status changes, for both 128 and 256 models.

Ugh hopefully there's still some hope. Change change change!!!!!!
 
Apple Store App preorder confirmed 3:07am EST. iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black 128 PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT.. 9/23-9/30 STANDARD SHIPPING? Why do some people have NEXT DAY AIR?? Wasn't even an option. I've had the phone on day 1, 4 years in a row. streak stopped?

I called for expediting shipping earlier this week. Maybe thats why? Does anyone have next day shipping that didn't call Apple to move dates up earlier this week? I also don't think these dates mean nothing since everyone is "preparing for shipping" already. Time will tell, I'm curious.
 
So hypothetically... someone in the 9/23 group gets charged today and can't pay (let's assume they really can't, not fixable)... How long before Apple gives up on them and lets the next person in line have their phone? Just wondering whether us 10/4 and later peeps will really have to wait another week...

Don't think it's major.

The one I have sitting in Kentucky is next day.

The other two are express worldwide.

but all of mine are standard shipping
 
Looks like they've stopped charging cards / changing orders to preparing for shipment. :/

128 / ATT / Iphone 7 + JB

Still processing... had one of the earlier dates too. (9/17 - 9/24)

Is anyone else on the 2 hours late to place order boat as me?! Im sitting here staring at my november estimate like -_-...

I preordered the jet black as soon as preorders opened on Apple .com and I still got a 2-3 wait time which is redicilous
 
I honestly have no idea how Apple is fulfilling orders then. People who ordered after me already have been charged, so order time seems to be meaningless. Maybe they're just drawing orders outta a hat. :(
They have 4 batches of Jet Black iphone 7 pluses:
- 128GB Verizon/Sprint
- 128GB ATT/T-Mobile
- 256GB Verizon/Spring
- 256GB ATT/T-Mobile

So you could have people with the same times in different groups getting shipped in different orders...or people earlier in different groups shipped later than people in another group.

Best indication of your queue is someone in the same grouping above as you, with a time you can reference yours against.
 
spoke to apple they said the charge is just an authorization and that i should still look for it on the dates i am being shown on the order. they said they would "charge" when shipping. not sure i get how all that works.

Are you comparing against other Canadians? I'm sure there are probably regional factors in play... maybe even within each country...
 
I just got charged for an apple watch as well, that was 2-3 weeks out for shipping. They've done a lot of moving today.

Still no shipping updates on JB 256GB + from ATT (2:09CST)
