To anyone that is going to camp out of go in store they will have plus models. No black or jet black but they will have plus models. So
Well, considering that there are a bunch of us with either Plus or some semblance of black, that apparently is relatively meaningless, no offense.

Mine:
2 IP7+ MB 256GB, ordered 9/9 8:30am/12:30pm ET, 9/23-9/30
 
I ordered about 2:10 CST morning of the 9th.... AT&T Next, 128GB Black 7 shipped on the 12th from Fort Worth, currently in Indiana for delivery tomorrow.
 
Alright, lets do this. Made a throw away so I don't lose my job. I still won't give away exact numbers because they can tell which store is which by inventory.

AT&T retail sales manager here. Got some inventory in yesterday and expecting more today. For those of you wanting to camp in line, I probably wouldn't recommend it unless you want a 32GB Rose Gold or Matte Black. Or Some 256GB Matte Black. Not one 7 Plus in yesterday. That could change today, but I'm very much doubting it at this point. No other colors but rose and matte black yet on the 7's.

I'm also one of you who pre ordered at 3:01am sharp for a 128GB matte black 7 Plus with 0 movement on my order. So no, we don't get special treatment either lol.

Hopefully we'll see a lot more phones today, or it's going to be a long, long weekend for my staff and I. We are one of the highest volume stores in our market, so we usually get a ton of phones in.

On a positive note, the matte black is very, very sexy. ;)

Update for you guys. Just got my last shipment of the day from both FedEx and UPS... Not. One. Plus. There's no store in our entire district that got a Plus. I'm actually really surprised.

We did get a bunch more 128GB in all colors except Jet Black. But wow I'm really shocked this year that we got no Pluses in. This weekend is going to be interesting.

I'm interested in mainly people getting 7+ Matte black 128s responses (but others feel free to chime in :) ), where are most of you located? I'm east coast and was able to preorder before 3 am ET. I'm wondering if the region may have anything to do with the way in which people are receiving their shipment details?
i'm east coast too -- florida. ordered the ip7+ 128, still waiting for some good news!

AT&T premiere Rep just told me all black 7P 128 were back ordered until 11/29. I think she's obviously mistaken. Mine still does backordered. Placed order at 11:49 PST.
They're very likely speaking in terms of making an order today, not when you ordered back on 9/9.

Pay attention, folks! If news reports of legitimate repute are saying that certain models are sold out, I'd wager they'll be sold out for at least the next week for those not on preorder. I don't know this, I'm merely inferring based on what the anonymous store manager here is saying as well as how logistics and device availability works.
 
Why do I feel like I'm the only one who's not gonna get their phone tomorrow.

iPhone 7P 128GB Matte Black

Ordered 3:00:50AM

Preparing to ship, not a peep from ATT since 9/9....
Trust me, you're not alone. I preordered a matte black and a silver plus 128 and I've seen people with both kinds of phones ship but I'm still sitting one "preparing to ship"
 
Just received shipping info. IP 7 plus 128gb gold order 9/9 around 8:00 am cdt. Est delivery 9/23 to 9/30
 
I don't see how they could have certain models available in the store in upcoming weeks with models being backordered almost into December. ughhhh I'm holding onto hope that it would at least come by the end of next week if not tomorrow.. this is my second order after my first one failed that had Sept 23 - Sept 30th delivery dates

Order date: 09/09/2016 at 3:32:33 a.m. ET

Order status:
Preparing to ship
We're getting your order ready to ship. Expect your items to ship during the dates we gave you.
Thank you for placing your order with us.
Estimated ship dates:
September 30, 2016 - October 7, 2016
 
Finally got my shipping notification. Both text message and email. Delivery is handled by UPS which is unusual.
I live in upstate New York. Don't know if it can make it tomorrow. Overnight delivery seems too expensive for att.
So hang in there. Don't lose hope.

Here's the updates I had this morning.

Gosh. On the order status page, it now shows error saying there is no match for the information. An hour ago, I dialed 6737 and it said back ordered. I bet it's a good sign. Probably going to see the credit card being charged next. So funny after following this thread for about a week, there seems to be a methodology as how signs are supposed to be lined up.

Order time: 03:02am EST, 9/9
Model: Plus Silver 32GB
Estimate Shipping: 9/30 - 10/7

The order_status portal now shows this:

OS001: We apologize for the inconvenience. We cannot complete your request at this time. Please wait at least 24 hrs from placing your order, before checking the status of your order online. If the problem persists, please call us at 1-800-331-0500 for further assistance. NOTE: An email may have been sent to your email address on file. Please check your email which may have additional information about your order.


It's getting real!!

I just checked the status online and still had "preparing to ship." Checked 6737 and it says they are backordered. Hoping to god that's a good sign.

When did you order?
4:56 AM EST and that was after the first order was canceled because of a "processing issue". First order was at 3:03 AM - and then it was moved up one hour to 2:03 AM according to the cancelation order status.
