First iPhone 7 Orders Now 'Preparing for Shipment' With September 16 Launch Day Delivery

[arkitekt0]

Has anyone with a 2-3 weeks delivery estimate seen their order switch to preparing for shipment ?

the same here. email says 16.09. and apple store account says delivery 2-3 weeks shipping time. I live in germany.

Update:
I think I had some kind of Login problems. So i think I saw the shipping estimates for non ordered products. you have to look at the apple store website that you are logged in correctly. I recommend to look at your shipping status in the apple store app in your phone or ipad.

I guess I have no chance for 9/16 delivery??

I forgot to pay my ATT bill prior to ordering and that process ate up 10 mins of precious time!!!

Also, I noticed citizenOne charged my card, then did a reversal... ??

No chance for 9\16... they'll deliver it during the window provided.

Forgot to pay ATT bill? They don't prohibit orders for not having paid the bill, they prohibit orders from those who have bills that are significantly past due.

They pre-auth'd to validate the account and reversed it... common. They'll charge the account when it ships.

i find it strange, before the iPhone 7 was revealed, i think at least 80-90% of the people hates the new dual camera iPhone 7 leak and says there's not a major update on the phone, and most of them are saying they'll not buy the iPhone 7 blah blah blah...
and now iPhone 7 is officially released and it's exactly the same design as the leaks photo and 80-90% of the people are saying "yeah~ mine is coming this week", "can't wait to get my hands on the new iPhone 7", "I'm trading my 6s+ to 7+" etc.

Well it wasn't significantly past due... 14 or so days late... I always forget about that bill, maybe because I hate being ran dry every month! Things we do for the latest tech!

I'm pretty sure you can't upgrade/add a line even 1 day past due.

Right... which is why I logged onto the ATT website and paid, while continuing the purchase within the app. Like I said, it's not something I really think about every month, right now it's just my kids on the account. I've been using the work iPhone for 2 years (completely free!!)... But the 5S is falling apart....so...

I'm not saying their billing is fair... they send the bill and then give like 18 days to pay it... not sure whatever happened to 30 day net like most companies do... cell companies seem to set their own rules.

True... Seems like my disdain for cellphone companies, cost me precious minutes!! Now I must wait until AFTER launch day to enjoy my new toy!!

Oh, I'll be ready for the iPhone 8!!!

Actually my bill was 3 days past due with a payment to be drafted, scheduled for the 9th and I also had to pay my bill in full before I could order....

My original delivery date was listed as October 7-14, and I got notification today that it's on its way. Tracking says it'll be here Monday. Wheee!
