The closest thing is when I dial the 6737, I am told my order is on back order. I have a silver and matte black 128 plus. Only thing is that both of the online status checkers still say "preparing to ship"
So far the backorder is a good sign. 2 iPhone 7 units that have had a 9/16 delivery date from the beginning have been showing backorder for the past few days with no shipping info yet. But 7 Plus went from backorder to SHIPPED.
 
When should I give up hope?

Waiting on a 7+ 32gb Black Matte. Ordered 9/9 2:58am or 3:07am EST, depending on which portal you look at. Shipping date 9/30-10/7 and has not changed.

Status is preparing to ship.

Through ATT, I ordered:

-256GB Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus
According to my confirmation email, I placed the order at 3:04am ET on Friday, September 9, 2016.
According to the order website, my order was placed at 12:16:51pm ET on 9/09/2016.
Order "Preparing to Ship"

-256GB Black iPhone 7
According to my confirmation email, I placed the order at 3:44am ET on Friday, September 9, 2016.
*According to the order website, my order was placed at 3:05:37pm ET on 9/15/2016
Order "Preparing to Ship"

*Weird situation. I added a 7th line to my account for my brother and the order went through, but I found an email in my spam folder a few days ago from ATT saying "Action Required" for my order and that it will cancel if it is not resolved by Friday, September 16, 2016. Has anyone else had "Action Required"? I spent 2 hours on the phone yesterday and was transferred 5 times (ended up in the Econ department, which was the department I started in) and nothing has been fixed.

I also ordered: 256GB Silver iPhone 7 Plus (Best Buy), 256GB Rose Gold iPhone 7 Plus (Best Buy), 256GB Black iPhone 7 Plus (Best Buy), and 256GB Black iPhone 7 Plus (Apple)
These were all done between 3:05am ET and 3:40am ET.

No movement on a single device and I have an order that might get canceled. Now I am starting to worry just a bit.
 
guess the jet black 128 plusses really aren't coming until oct 14th, still in preparing to ship hell, still in progress when checking via *6737#, still no cc charge. such a bummer. preorder to receive a month after launch. fantastic.
 
Lol Ive been preparing to ship like since Saturday the 10th. My day is going to be so long at work tomorrow
Same here, man. And they pushed my order date from 9/9 3:11AM to 9/10 11:50AM for an unknown reason so who knows now...

There's still many UPS planes coming from china I think 7 or so and then we'll find out how many of those coming to dallas. So they're coming, they're coming.
