Are any of you that have had their order switch to 'Preparing for Shipment' new Iphone Upgrade Program participants? I ordered my AT&T 128GB as a new Iphone Upgrade Program participant. I received the e-mail order confirmation from Apple and the welcome e-mail from Citizens One.
Yes, for the first time. I had used AT&T's NEXT Program previously.
 
For everyone saying they were just charged, did you buy the phone out right? I don't know what I'd be charged now since I'm on the installment plan. I already paid the finally installment on my 6+ last week. $20 upgrade fee maybe? Or did everyone buy the phone who's seeing charges?

Yeah bought it outright with the card connected to my itunes.
 
I called the Apple rep, asked for expedited shipping he said that all iphones have expedited shipping anyway and should get it sooner than later, as we were speaking he said my status moved into preparing for shipment. I got off the phone and it did really move for preparing for shipment from processing before I called them.
 
I purchased outright. 32GB Black 7 Plus.

Used my Barclaycard through Apple for like my 5th big purchase. Its actually great program, they always give me my Apple purchases with no interest for 18 months if I call a day or so ahead and request it. Seemed like a solid deal, paying the same amount but I won it and pay it on my terms without being locked in a plan or contract.

Anyway I bought outright, charges for the full price of the phone and apple care hit my card about 2 hours ago.
Dates dropped from the 27-29th to the 20-23rd.

I, along with many others were told the same thing. What I don't get is how Apple has charged some people $5-$10 for "expedited shipping". What is that charge for, if it doesn't improve their shipping times? Is Apple scamming some people or what?
 
The suspense is killing me. I could handle the 9/16 folks getting CC charges and order status updates but now that my 9/27-9/29 group is showing movement, I'm stalking my bank transactions every 5 minutes and swirling in the Processing Items drain :eek:. I hope they haven't stopped for the day, otherwise I'll probably be pushed into the next wave.
 
My phone has been sitting at Sept. 28-30th and still hasn't dropped in dates. Wonder what's up with my "special" little iPhone 7....hmmm....o_O
 
Are there any fu***** 32 GB's shipping. It literally feels like Apple manufactured none of them. WTF

I have a 7 Plus Black 32gb that hit my card and went to Preparing for Shipment about 2 hours ago.

Really regretting the 32gb decision...
