The whole point of the preorder is to try and get your iPhone on launch day. If AT&T has "x" phones of a particular type and your order is "x+1", then the delivery will not be on launch day. It gets very confusing with the combination of five colors, two sizes and three memory capacities. That's 30 different combinations! So, if you ordered a combination that was less popular, then it is more likely that it would be delivered on launch day. If you ordered a combination that was more popular, then your delivery may be later because the supply ran out.
Listen last year I preordered my 6s and had dates of mid oct and received my phone on launch day so don't worry we are getting our phones
 
Getting my 7 plus 128gb on Friday but people thought I was trolling smh

IP7+ 256gb MB- Ordered 3:46am ET ATT site
Status Prepairing to ship since I ordered it, dates are 9/23 - 9/30

No change yet
 
I didn't even go to bed last Thursday/Friday morning till after I ordered at 3:04 AM ET. So I stayed up the entire day/night for them to not fulfill orders, and to give us ridiculous ship dates.

Same here stayed up the whole time...
 
Hey guys, question, why do you order from AT&T instead of directly from Apple? Do you have reasons or concerns that drive your decision? Just curious. 2 more days to go!
Because I have to - I have an ATT Premier account (business) and I have to order through ATT and I hate it. I can't order from Apple even if I pay full price - it tells me I can't purchase...
 
If it's any consolation to anyone still waiting for a shipment email, my wife'a rose gold phone shipped on the 11th but she didn't get the shipping email until this morning. Meaning, it's conceivable that the jet blacks are en route and they just haven't sent the shipping emails yet. Don't lose hope!
 
I like that the Matte only says iPhone on the back with no fine print.
Don't know about this picture, but in all the other reviews I definitely saw the text. But I think it's so close to the color of the phone that it goes almost unnoticed.
 
Has anyone experienced AT&T doubling their order. I ordered the phone at 2:45 am. The order had one matte black iPhone 7+. Just yesterday it is now showing two of the same phones and changed the status from processing to preparing to ship. Weird. I am afraid to call them since I they may screw up the order and I get nothing.
You must be getting my phone along with yours. :)

Going to bed suckas. Hoping to wake up to a couple of emails in the morning with shipping info.
Last year unfortunately my 6s Plus didn't come on launch day. It came the following Monday. Hoping for better outcome this year ;)

7+ Matte 128 when from preparing for shipment to back ordered sometime this afternoon. I'm going to assume that's a good thing.

Planned on ordering through Apple until I realized they only ship to billing address and it wouldn't let me change my mother's address. AT&T allowed me to change shipping address, so they won my preorder.

Same here. I was furious. I went into my office the next day and ordered at around 10:00 AM. My wife's Rose Gold is arriving 9/8-10/3 and my Jet Black is arriving 10/28-11/4. At least the Jet Black was not a launch model. My wife had the first Apple Watch before me, too since I ordered the Space Black. It is ridiculous that they are not ready to deliver on launch day for those that ordered proper (I got screwed because of the account, I get that) but showing all the colors and sizes and then right after you order, whoops, not every one will be available on launch day. they are really taking us for granted.
 
I ordered the same phone but nearly an hour ahead of you and got the same dates. Weird.
I've been doing this every year since 2009. Last year many people had dates a week or so off from launch date, and got emails at the 11th hour.... and some got it the next Monday. I'm pretty sure that most people with 9/23 - 9/30 will get their phones. Last year I ordered on the apple site, this year att because att came up quicker for me. Although I had to order 5 times due to website errors... that's why my time is so late. Another note, the first 4 tax authorizations fell off my credit card, the final one has not. Not sure if that means anything, but it's some more info.
