Lurking around the forum this last day, it's clear that virtually no 256GB 7+ have shipped at all. On 9/9 at 3:01am EDT, I ordered one RG 256GB 7+ for my wife, and a JB 256GB 7+ for me. 9/23-9/30 for hers, and 9/30-10/7 for mine. Still preparing to ship.
I can see many people getting extremely flustered, but it'll all work out. At least it has in past years. I have hope. I used to get so fired up about *having* to get the new phone every year on launch. But, as one gets a bit older and wiser, I know there's a lot more to life than the latest phone.
So, buck up campers. I'm fairly confident that everyone that ordered not long after pre-orders went live will be happy by tomorrow night.
