Carrier iPhone 7/7+ AT&T Pre-Order Thread

AT&T 128BG 7Plus Gold

Order date: 09/09/2016 5:19am EST
Order status: Preparing to ship
Estimated ship dates: September 23, 2016 - September 30, 2016
 
AT&T:
7 128GB Black - ordered 12:04, expected ship date 9/15 to 9/15 (mine)
7+ 128GB Rose Gold - ordered 12:08, expected ship date 9/15 to 9/15 (wife's)

Both Next Yearly, if that matters...
 
AT&T:

7 128GB Black - ordered 3:15 EST, expected ship date 10/4 - 10/10

I waffled too long on the color choice (and was ordering an Apple Watch) and the date went from 09/16 to October. Bah. At least the website was functional the whole time I was ordering
 
Same here 7 Plus 128gb Black expected 9/23 to 9/30 but preparing to ship status.

I have the same on my card too. The issue was ATT's website kept failing so it authorized my card like 6 times causing 1 card to stop working and my debit to have 4 authorizations for $50 (the up front tax due).

Im sure they will all drop off and only the real order one will stay. Not overly concerned that is easy to fix too.

7+ Matte Black 32gb-
Processing
09/30/2016 To 10/07/2016
My husband was adding a line to my account so that may be why this is still processing. We ordered when it went live on AT&T.

The fact that ALL (even those done before the official start time, I got in at 2:54EST) of the 7 Plus orders done through the ATT website have a 9/23 and forward date, makes me think this is just like last year with the 6sPlus where they got in shipments throughout the week and most people within the first 20-30 minutes (maybe even past that) got their phones on launch day.
I would be SHOCKED if ATT was not able to deliver launch day for at least some 7 Plus orders.

Did you order from the ATT website or from Apple? What time?

Got through pretty easy on the apple app. I'm not eligible to upgrade till the 11th but was still able to purchase. I paid in full because I'm grandfathered with the unlimited data plan and I'm not gonna lose that. Picked up the regular black 128 7 plus. It was estimated for the 16th then when I got the email it changed to the 26th. Anybody else get the same thing? Also did ya'll have the option to pick up in the store? Would make things a lot easier.

I am grandfathered in as well, Nation 450 w/ Rollover & Data Unlimited / Messaging Unlimited. I was assured there would be no issue upgrading to iPhone 7 with AT&T Next and keeping my plan. That looks to still be the case.

I ordered from the Apple Store app on my phone- it took a while to load though, I actually got in at about 2:05 Central time and had to move quickly...I had just saved it in my favorites so all to do was confirm my plan change and pay. Much easier than I remember, I hadn't pre ordered since the 6 plus
 
My 12:09AM PST Jet Black 256 7+ order went "Preparing to ship", but still showing Sept 30-Oct 7 ship date. Initial confirmation email did not get sent out until 4:23AM. AT&T servers must have been swamped. Ordered with Next Every Year to replace last year's model.

This is my third phone on AT&T Next and I am still grandfathered on the unlimited data plan. It works just fine.
 
Just ordered at 8:30 am Central and got two Jet Black 7+ (one for me and one for my wife). Apple's site says November but I got it through AT&T and its showing a ship date of 9/28-10/4. Hopefully it gets bumped up.
 
Ordered 3 via Premiere Website. Ordered each one in a row around 8 AM EST.

First, 7+ Silver 256 GB, Ship Date 9/15
Second 10 minutes later, 7+ Black 256 GB, Ship Date 9/23 - 9/30
Third 5 minutes later, another 7+ Silver 256 GB, Ship Date 9/23 - 9/30

So, I was right there at the moment the ship times started to slip!

Have you set your clocks back an hour ALREADY? For the rest of us in the Pacific Time Zone, it's PDT. PST starts in November. ;)
 
I just ordered two Black 7 phones on Apple's site. They gave me the option of delivery or in store pickup & both dates were September 16th. I chose to have it delivered because the tax was $10 cheaper for some reason.

New enrollment in the Apple upgrade program went smooth as could be. No glitches or hiccups in the process.
 
I ordered 3 phones on premier - all seemed to go through but are all cancelled... I was charged to pay off the remaining next balance and that went through so not sure what ATT is doing? Not happy though.
 
I got my second confirmation email a few minutes ago. Both phones show 9-23 - 9-30 currently.

That wasnt available via apple.
For some reason i errored out on the apple site.

Went to ATT upgraded to the 6S by mistake.
Luckily I had a second line with an available upgrade for the silver 7+ 256 (128 wouldn't go through).
Saw the ATT next 12 and selected it.
transaction complete at 3:19 ship 23-30 Sept

Wonder how new that program is.

I did the same thing upgraded to the 6s paid and all had to scramble and cancel
 
Boy was I thankful when I woke up this morning and saw that others of you had not gotten the order confirmation email.. Well I finally got mine at 5:15am EDT.. 2:06 after ordering at 2:54am EDT.

Still says Oct 13-20.. Weird.. The ATT App, just like last year and the year before went live at 2:51am EDT, 10 minutes before projected. I had my order complete before any of you reporting so far- at 2:54amvEDT.. And yet many of you who ordered 10-15 mins later than me - JetBlack 128 7+ - have that earlier 9/27 ship date. Wild.

Well hopefully, just like last year all of us ordering within the first half hour got our 6SPlus phones on launch day, we'll get it this year on launch day too. But keep in mind last week there were two weeks for Apple to get the shipments to AT&T. This week there's only one week turnaround. So we can't necessarily predict that it will be exactly like last year with an extra week missing...

So we'll see! Just glad I have my confirmation email..

I was wondering if it was a website issue. I was purposely being extra careful while be so tired.
Luckily it's all set ATT is cancelling the 6S right now.

Actually in hindsight I'm glad the apple process failed so I was able to take advantage of the 12mo upgrade plan. I prefer that phone related items remain on the phone bill, one stop shopping/billing.
