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

No movement here at all. Ordered 4:30AM EDT after trying since 3AM EDT because AT&T's site would not let me make my final Next payment to upgrade. 128gb Matte Black Plus with ship dates 9/23-9/30 like everyone else. I'm usually not this anxious but I leave for Europe on Sunday and won't be back in the States until October 5th.

I just got this email a little while ago. Does this mean anything?

It is a tad harsh mate. I may be worried about the quality of a large purchase I am making, which I think is reasonable. I mean, if you are on this forum in the first place you probably have a bit more interest in a cell phone than you probably ought to. But this should be a place where people can discuss things they are thinking about as it relates to the iPhone without bringing judgement into the mix.

Why are you free discuss and I'm not free to pass judgement on your decision making? You're borderline paranoid about the finish on 7 Plus, all of which is fueled by troll media. You have no basis for your paranoia, other than this is what you were told to think.

Meanwhile the lack of availability should tell you that the general public and market are not as paranoid, and will happily buy their shiny black product, which has all the same attributes of every other shiny black product ever made by anyone.
 
What is the best most accurate way to check order status? I tried doing it by text message but i get We're Sorry. Requested information is currently unavailable. Please try again later. But when i check online it says samee preparing to ship crap

I've been using this forum for a while to see if anyone's 7P Matte Black has shipped since I have a "preparing shipping" with 9/23-9/30 delivery date. When i used the *6737# the text told me my order was "in progress". Is that a good sign or is that bad?

Fairly certain they mean the same thing. My order reads the same way as yours, preparing online and in progress at 6737
 
I smashed an iPhone 6 on bumpy pavement and I'll never be caught without an Otter Box again. If it's in any way breakable, I'll find a way. At the end of the day, the color doesn't technically matter since no one will see it, but the matte black is going to be so pretty. :) Plus, the resale on ebay is so much better if the phone is in awesome condition.

7+ 256 matte black (ordered 2:44 AM CT 9/9 est. 9/23-30)

I put more stock into the online method. Not quite sure why though.

Shipped! Rose gold 6s+ 128gb ordered at 8am est. was saying backordered via *6737#. Then got the call to verify address then text and email about 30 mins later!!
 
Shipping update........


Back ordered but yet my cc had been charged yesterday.

No this was not the hold that happened when i ordered it last Friday. The hold fell off but this is an actual charge now. Wtf AT&T

Aesthetics preferences aside, I'm curious to hear from other jet black purchasers about whether they are worried or not about the scratching and smudging.
Click to expand...

No worries here about scratches or smudges. Will have a transparent case with a screen protector, and at work and home have eyeglass wipes as well.

128gb + Jet Black. No movement since my 10/13_10/20 timeframe and order shows 2:41am Eastern time. In camp 3, I'd give myself about 5% chance of getting tomorrow. Checked the *6737# and website enough that is causing screen burn in. Haha

I was thinking the same thing (case on, cant really see the color so whats the point) but then I realized the border on the face of the phone is colored white so that would clash so bad with my case and personally would bug the piss out of me so because of that reason alone and because I hate myself I decided to go with Matte Black and put myself through this nonsense.

Not so much giving up (ill save that for tomorrow morning) but accepting of the facts. Kinda like the end of the Dark Knight Rises where Batman takes the bomb out over the water and he has that look on his face like "ok this is where I die and im ok with that". Basically im Batman right now. Of course he survived (spoilers) so all hope is not lost.

DOnt worry you will have your phone tomorrow for sure. If not.. i will stop drinking.

what's the latest AT&T can ship out for it to arrive tomorrow?
Click to expand...
I've had overnight shipment confirmations as late as 7pm that arrived the next day from at&t. Historically I've gotten my shipping confirmation from noon-5 on average though and always by fedex overnight express shipping.
 
Anyone who is worried about micro abrasions... they're nothing a little car wax won't fix... or at least help hide.
