If may date doesn't change and I have time on Friday morning, I'll go wait in line at the Apple Store and try my luck. I'd even spring for a 256GB if there's one available.

You can do that??
Jet Black 7+ 128GB AT&T
Order time: 2:09am central
Delivery estimate: 9/26-10/3

I chatted with Apple and just had my shipping expedited for $6.

New delivery estimate: 9/22-9/29

Hoping this means maybe I get it a few days after launch.

Only reason why I got the "black" 256GB plus model is because I knew everyone and their mother would want the jet black followed by the 128GB model for both black models.
Let's hope my gamble paid off because my Verizon ship date is 9/23; I need it to jump to 9/16.
 
What did he mean "was a great estimate already?" Is that what your original date was? Was he saying nobody is getting them sooner than that?


He said it casually. I suppose he meant that it was great in comparison to what the estimate is now (November). He was really non-committal in saying anything of substance. He wouldn't even speculate whether or not it would get moved up. Absolutely no mention of there being an earlier shipping window.

Yeah, the estimate I have now is the one I got when ordering.
 
Email from T-Mobile confirming the signed EIP came in at 3:44AM EDT, then the email confirming the order came in at 4:02AM EDT. Not sure if they had a way to hold my place but I had called in at 3:00AM exactly, and then their systems went down for a bit.
You ordered through T Mobile then? I thought you had ordered a T Mobile phone through Apple.
 
The chat rep said that anyone could very likely see a "surprise down the road" meaning a delivery date bump-up, as we had all assumed.

Exactly my thought. I actually have two phones ordered (both 128gb 7+) one black and one jet black with October 4 dates.... I figure which ever ships first (if before launch) i'll keep and cancel the second. If neither ships before launch, i'm waiting in line, again.

i did the something but it makes me wonder if they are approving these expedite shipping that means they have stock don't u think
 
If this means anything - just looked at the Apple Store and ship times for 128 and 256 Jet Black ATT phones are now listed as 3-4 weeks, this morning it was November.

I'm on holiday from the 17th to the 2nd October, so I don't want it to arrive in that period. It's scheduled to arrive in the w/c 3th Oct.

there is a great chance it comes in that time span. if you have what i had which is Sept 26-Oct 3rd...its likely to ship on the weekend of the 24/25 (apple default is 5-6 day shipping)
