I work right across the Apple Store in Grand Central, so I decided to take a stroll down there to take a look at the new phones. The Jet Black is absolutely beautiful in person, and holding it, it feels like one cohesive piece of hardware. The glass and the Jet Black finish really come together perfectly. Interestingly enough, they had NO Jet Black Pluses on display. Absolutely none. They had all other finishes on display, just not the Jet Black Plus. As someone who's stuck in the October 18-30 group, I'm just trying to tell myself that it'll be worth the wait.

Surprising they didn't have any for display... although it kinda makes sense. They didn't want random people "testing" the durability of the display model. You never know with some people. :rolleyes:

Back when the 6/6 Plus came out, an Apple Store employee told me people came in wanting to "test" if bendgate was real! You can imagine what happened next.

[doublepost=1474045699][/doublepost]I ordered the Iphone 7+ 128gb AT&T version from apple website with apple pay. Delivery dates 26/6-3/10 with no update. Still processing with no charge.

I got my midnight blue genuine silicone on Tuesday! I guess I get to imagine the size of the phone in my hand but staring at it all day just destroys my soul.

Were you originally in the 3/10-10/10 group?

Also, what country?

Do phones show up in the support profile before they have been marked by Apple as shipped? Curious how fruitless my constant refreshing is.

My original date was Sep 26 - Oct 3

I'm in the Land of the Midnight Sun (Alaska)
 
Damn. Unfortunately I don't think any of us will be that lucky
There's a tiny, tiny part inside of my head telling me it's going to be on my doorstep when I get home from work. But I know that with no charge, no tracking number, no reference, no order status update, and no MyChoice alert, there's no chance in hell.

Let the processing purgatory continue :(
 
Too bad they didnt start shipping on a Wednesday so we didnt have to wait through the weekend right after the release

I feel you man. Exact same boat.
 
JB IP7 plus 256 ATT shipped this am at 6ish. Originally in the 9/26 to 10/4 group. Apple delivery still says the 23rd but UPS says Monday 19th by UPS worldwide express saver... I'm guessing this is old news but I've been swamped at work all day and just saw my emails. Interestingly PayPal still shows the charge as pending ... I'll check support profile next time I have a minute.

Edit: clarification - att upgrade ordered through Apple Store app

Edit 2: the phone has reached support profile.

Firing on all cylinders.

I've been lurking since I preordered. I'm in the first boat for my 256 JB +, 9/26-8/3. I didn't bother calling since I thought that was silly, but now I'm a bit afraid that I didn't. Mine changed to preparing yesterday at the same time I first saw others here go to preparing. It charged my account. No tracking yet though, which is the scary part. I know I COULD have November dates, so I should feel glad, but!
Yesterday, people who got tracking are getting theirs Monday. Today people who got tracking say Wednesday. Jeez. Im sad now :(. No launch day fun. I know I'm being a b otch, but it takes a bit of the fun away from that thousand dollars that pulled out yesterday(2 grand with the rose gold plus I ordered for my girlfriend that came today.....)
/rant back to lurking.

Maybe you could ask your girlfriend if she would be kind enough to share her's with you? I mean seeing as you bought it for her and all... ;)
 
Bingo. People were paying money just so the dates would change and it would comfort them.

Actually I'm fairly confident no one paid anything. I expedited and she said there would be a $6 charge. I was charged this morning about 12 hours ago. No extra charge for changing it.
 
Just got charged for my Jet black 128gb att

Orig dates : Sept 26 - Oct 3
Expedited to Sept 17th - Sept- 24th

Last night was changed to: Delivers 22 Sep, 2016 - 29 Sep, 2016 by Next Day Shipping
