I am a iPhone 7plus 128Gb - Matte Black, ordered at 3:01am. Original delivery date of 9/23-9/30.

Up until now my order was just processing.

After spamming *6737# I was just notified my order has shipped and is delivering tomorrow.

If you are still processing don't fret! There is a high chance it will update today.
 
Mine never went on backorder so I'm assuming I'm screwed even though we had the same shipping dates.
Haven't you heard that if your phone went into backordered thats a good sign? and you should be getting shipping notification shortly.
 
IMPORTANT QUESTION: No one has asked this question: Most of us saw our pending credit card charges disappear a few days ago. Has anyone had the charge reappear today? If so, did that person then get shipping notices?

My authorization / hold expired on Tuesday, per my bank regulations and my 128 7 Plus Gold shipped Tuesday night the 13th. The charge has not reappeared yet. Phone set to arrive tomorrow via FedEx.
 
Don't give up hope. I don't think it has to go on backorder. I am assuming most who have the same dates as us 09/23 - 09/30 with Matte Black 128gb will get the orders on launch day. I just think for whatever reason updating their system is super slow. Mine is already showing in Texas so I am assuming it traveled quite a bit before reaching texas. They are way behind on updating their system.

Man, I hope you're right. I like this answer... very positive lol. Fingers crossed guys!!!!
 
I have seen that you can pre sign for UPS, however can you do so with Fedex? I already contacted Fedex to try and reroute my phone delivery tomorrow but they told me that AT&T had to notify Fedex of the change of address. I will be at work tomorrow and no one will be able to sign for it. I have looked everywhere on how to pre sign on AT&T and Fedex for my phone but no luck so far. Is anyone else in this same predicament? Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
I used my tracking number to get to the FedEx site and found a place where u can add delivery instructions but I didn't see a pre sign option. I asked for it to be left at my house.

My phone will be delivered tomorrow and my case is out for delivery right now in California. Unfortunately, I live in New Jersey.
 
My order (iPhone 7+ 128GB Silver) just said backorder over text but says preparing to ship online. I ordered at 3:17 am on the 9th. Think its about to be shipped!?
 
My wife's iPhone 7 Plus Rose Gold 128 GB just shipped by FedEx and will be here tomorrow! Now we'll both have our 7 pluses on launch day! Her initial shipping dates were 9/30-10/6

128 GB 7+ Silver ordered 4:56 AM - Status Shipped

UPS
Weight 1.60 lbs

Previously:
In Progress/ Pending Shipment since 9/9
No Backorder status was posted.

Picture coming.
 
So this is my second Pre-order with AT&T and I've been with them for 10 or 11 years now. I used to just camp out like three in the morning on launch day at an AT&T store. I did that for the iphone 4 and 5. I will admit AT&T is horrible with communication during Pre-order season.

I decided to do my first Pre-order with the iphone 6P 64GB in 2014. Same thing happened. I ordered at 3:11am EST on 09/12/2014(pre-order day). Confirmation emails that year were sporadic. I believe I received my confirmation email hours later. Everyone in forums were doing the same thing, tracking flights and what not. No communication until I believe it was that Tuesday(09/16), that I received an email that my shipping dates were bumped up from 10/13-10/20 to 10/2-10/9. I finally received confirmation of shipping on 09/19/2016(launch day) through Fedex. I ended up receiving my phone on 09/23/2014, the Tuesday after launch. This is starting to look a lot like that. Very disappointed. I really wanted to order through Apple.com because I didn't want to go through this wreck again but hey at least my dates are better off than they were in 2014. There's probably a small glimpse of hope left for launch day...but it's fading though :(

BTW, I ordered the 7P Gold 256GB at 2:58am EST 09/09/2016
Ship dates: 09/23-09/30. No movement since preparing to ship..processing...pending shipment (whichever way you check order status...all the same)

I'm freaking done with AT&T this is some ********. honestly I get it the Jet black I probably won't get tomorrow even though I haven't lost hope I'm sure I have it by the end of next week. But even seeing people who ordered the same phones later in the day and are getting shipped before people who woke up at 3am is some ********. whats the point of being the first to preorder then. Next time I'm going through apple.
