They hate us.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.
Got a tip for us?

I think the delivery dates switched to the next group at 12:10am. I got slowed down because the App Store appeared on my iPad before my IPhone and I didn't have the Apple Pay setup correctly on the iPad. Frustrating to think that delays my order.
I never called or chatted but still got bumped. Hoping at this point the dates don't mean anything if our cards have been charged and the phones will be here sometime tomorrow.
I dont think first batch has even shipped...i should be in the first batch my order was complete at 3:00:55 am est
Until tracking appears for someone, not thinking tomorrow at all. Hurry up Apple and ship!

You are through your carrier right, not Apple?

They are screwing all of us loyal customers that woke up in the middle of the night and preordered the new iPhone 7 in favor for the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program cusumers as that seems to be their first priority, they reserved nearly all if not all entire in-store inventory for IUP customers and left us all with hanging "processing" orders that's why there won't be any Plus models available for Walk-ins tomorrow morning
I've heard enough fairytale stories here over the years of people getting shipment statuses the night before and then getting their item the next day... I refuse to give up hope yet! I am determined to be disappointed tomorrow!
I'm not apple upgrade program, and my order is preparing to ship.
After stalking this topic since its inception i figured I'd finally add my experience.

I've been refreshing my order page and it just updated to "Preparing for shipment" and my card has been charged! New delivery dates are 9/23 - 9/30. I am located in NorCal.
I ordered my jet black 7+ 256gb (Verizon) through the app store and got my confirmation email at 12:10 am PST. I enrolled in the IUP for the first time.
My original delivery dates were 9/26 - 10/3.

There won't be any plus models available tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you are in the IUP or not.
I've been refreshing and checking my CC - my status was updated and my card was charged within the last ~10 minutes.

They have a very sophisticated process for fulfilling orders. Everyone will see change eventually and as long as they deliver within your timeframe, no harm done. They have no obligation to deliver to you early.

Apple charges when the order is marked as shipped in their internal system. It may still be sitting in a warehouse for a few days until next week.
Perfect timing. Just got my cases for my 7+
What brand and where did you get those from?
UPDATE! card charged within last 10 and status updated to preparing for shipping within last 5 mins!

Geez... I'm sorry. It seems as though a "preparing for shipment" status can get to some people's head.
Anyways, I'm trying to find a pattern in the activity this afternoon. I'm not saying people shouldn't get their orders. I'm glad you got yours, since it fit Apple's system. Hopefully mine won't take that much longer.
Cheers.
