Same issue here... due to company is located in Czech Republic, I cannot buy iPhone in Germany, or I can but it is very complicated due to VAT.

My only issue with the estimated delivery is that there is a high chance I will be traveling with my job during that time and my iPhone 4s is reaaaaaly old and barely works. PLus the battery is dying...
I had to buy a new phone.... otherwise I would have waited for the next year's iphone.... for sure that will be super cool if the rumours are true.

Either way I also ordered an Apple watch series 2 sports.... maybe my order also stays waiting for the watch too... :)

I still can cancel it but screw this. I will have patience.

Anyway next year will have better HW... and the year after even better....

I will try to replace the HW every 3 years.... I think it's an OK cycle.

Within 3 years I will see how Apple will drive the HW and SW.... gives me time to switch or stop wasting money.

Sometimes these guys in US I don't think they understand the cost for us in terms of HW.
Not only we pay a lot more than them, but our income is not even close to theirs.... :)

Patience.... here in EE - at least we buy our stuff with our hearts and not our wallets :) We really love what we buy, we make huge sacrifices and we really appreciate what we get.
 
Mine got shipped yesterday and UPS says delivery on the 28th. So you should get the it on 28th also or 29th.
My iphone is sitting still all day today in China ZhengZhou :)
I hope so. Tracking is showing information now so i can follow it 24-7 :D

Estimated delivery date changed to september 28th on my Apple order page.

I don't really know… It seems like some 7+ JB scheduled for early October are already leaving China, and mine is still processing… :confused:

Obviously the process of manufacturing a JB differs from the other colours. Guess they send them out batch by batch and they have a list of orders to follow!?
 
I have 4-10 Oct delivery window. Still in processing hell. 7+ 128GB matte black. Austrian Apple store. Anyone from Austria with a same delivery window seeing some progress?
 
It seems like European pre-orders tend to start moving when way closer to the shipping date than the US ones.
Some iPhones are actually already here in EU, and ground shipping is really fast in EU, thankfully

It's funny because of this Jet Black - everyone types JB and I cannot help but read JailBroken :))
Would be funny for Apple to ship JailBroken iPhones.....


In Hungary - my shipment moved from 25th of October - 5th of November to 25th of October - 3rd of November... :)
iPhone 7 plus 128GB Black Matte.... we'll see.... I kinda guess it will be in November because on the end of October Hungarians have National Holidays and they will not be shipping anything.

Same here - I think that's really what slowed our orders down: ordering both Apple Watch and the new iPhone 7 Plus...
Ah well, just another 4 days now. After more than two weeks of waiting that's not a big deal anymore. ;)

I hope it gets delivered.... I get 1 month of waiting still :)

either way - by then I hope iOS will get updated and bugs squashed.
and hopefully I will get an iPhone that does not have humming sound when charging

I wish you get yours in top shape and the shortest time!

After dozens of tries getting someone on the line at Apple support, my status just updated for the second time today: "preparing handover to final carrier".
I'm somehow relieved but at the same time I'm now wondering what the hell happened in between and whether or not everything will reach my doorstep in one piece.. ;)

Anyone with 7 Plus Jet Black that has a shipped unit? Mine still processing. A couple of more days now, and they will not be able to deliver in the promised window between 4th and 10th of October.

Edit: Oh well never mind. Now "preparing for shipment".

My order 7+ black 128gb with 4-10 Oct delivery window just went from processing hell into preparing for shipment. Ordered Sep 11th - Austrian store. I hope others will see some movement today.
 
My UPS tracking has not been updated since sunday. Estimated delivery date should be tomorrow but tracking says the phone has not left China yet. I hope the tracking is wrong .....

Apple order page says it is in transit to destination country.
