Just got a text from ATT; what a surprise!

RG 128gb shipped FedEx, delivery for the 16th on launch day, by 8pm. Holy cow!

Original ship dates I was given were for the week of October 7-14. I ordered much later than I usually do, on September 12.

Was not expecting to be getting my new phone this early, and especially not on launch day either!

Never ordered through ATT before either. Always have ordered directly through Apple in the past.
 
i too just received this email....but no change on shipping

I just got this email a little while ago. Does this mean anything?
 
Ordered a matte black 128 GB 7 Plus at 3:00:21 am ET, and still no shipping info. My friend ordered the same phone seven minutes earlier and got his shipping info an hour and a half ago. Is there any hope for me?

There is hope for everyone, except people with Jet Black 7 Plus on order. Right now we have no reason to believe they actually exist. ;)

Starting to think I got the wrong color
If what matters to you is receiving it tomorrow and not what you're going to have for the rest of year (or longer), then... I guess.

Hello.. Long time (Camp 2 lol) lurker here. I just wanted to say for you guys not to get discouraged. For me, I ordered my IPhone 7 Plus 128GB Matte Black at 1:53am CST (I'm in Dallas) through the ATT website. The status went from 'processing' to 'preparing to ship' within minutes.

Around 9am CST today, I called the status update via my current cellphone and the text returned that my phone was back ordered while the website status still showed 'preparing to ship'. About an hour later, I received an email stating that my phone had shipped via FedEx and it will arrive by 3pm CST tomorrow.
Screenshots?

Was it a RG 7 or 7+?
 
Here is a shred of hope:
- 2 iPhone 7 RG 128 and 32 that have always had the 9/16 delivery date are still showing backordered with NO SHIPPING information yet

This makes me hold onto hope for the 128 Plus to still be shipped.
 
Anyone with 7+ 128 Black and original shipping dates of 10/7-10/14 got theirs shipped yet? I'm starting to lose hope.
Same phone, same original ship dates. No shipping info and status is preparing to ship/in progress. I've lost hope for launch day but maybe next week if we are lucky.
 
FYI - Due to the high-value nature of the iPhone, Apple requires someone to sign for delivery when the shipment arrives. With the iPhone 7 launch schedule for a weekday, this might be an issue for those with working schedules, school, and otherwise busy lives.

That applies if you order it directly from Apple. My FedEx tracking information says Standard Transit. If I needed to sign for it, it would be thus indicated

thats what I'm thinking too. We are finally seeing movement with the 128gb plus models. I bet we will see the 256gb model's shipping notifications by end of business today.... hopefully..
where did people say 128 gb matte black iPhone pluses were being shipped. I am still on preparing to ship
