So I just got the shipment notification. It's been "back ordered" since I ordered on the 9th, and now it's being delivered tomorrow. Matte Black 256gb. Not a plus. My GF ordered the same thing in rose gold and got shipment notification yesterday afternoon from Dallas. Mine is coming from Memphis. Seems odd... but I don't give a **** I suppose as long as it actually gets here. We are in Tulsa, OK. Good luck to you all, and be aware statuses are still changing! They said they actually picked the phone up 30 mins ago. Sh*t is still happening. Hang in there!
 
Check flightaware. Even then it's hard to know for sure if the plane is carrying phones.


Looks like 3 planes are scheduled to go from Louisville to Dallas tonight.

9?! With 3 already scheduled to Dallas? Hopefully that's good news for all of us left hanging. Thanks guys for the info!

Could everyone who has received shipment notifications for 7+ 128 Silver please reply back with pics of your order time and shipped status please? I am going to put together a little slideshow.

But can they get to Dallas and be shipped to us in time for tomorrow?

Latest arrival one other than the 9 AM tomorrow arrival is at 2 AM in Louisville. Not sure how fast things move once they're on the ground, so I have relatively low confidence that shipping can distribute in less than 12 hours

Oh I don't know about tomorrow. I would honestly just be glad to hear something over the silence I've gotten so far. I'm okay with Monday at this point. I just want to hear something

When I go to my installment plan details, my JB 7 plus shows am EMEI number already. How's that possible when it hasn't shipped yet.

How do you get to that?

I'm glad I checked back in...there seems to be some hope left for tomorrow, albeit quickly fleeting, but some hope nonetheless. Good luck to everyone hanging out tonight....

Now where is my shipment confirmation and tracking for my iPhone 7 plus 128 GB black matte to go with my iPad Pro 9.7 that arrived today without issue?--I was hoping they would send them both together accidentally. Yes I know how ridiculous that sounds in retrospect.

ATT u feel us?

Cheers, R
 
Yeh those 9 flights landing in Louisville from 12:30 to 2am I HIGHLY doubt will make it to anyone on Friday. The UPS/Fedex trucks get loaded up fairly early and are out by 7 to 8am as I understand it. There isn't enough time to fly them to the various regions and unload and sort before trucks go out.

High possibility Monday for all of those phones though. If all 9 are loaded with phones that's anther million phones or so.

I have had next day air things loaded on FedEx truck at 8:50 am already.
I live near a UPS DC and the trucks do not pull out of the place until 8:30 - 9. But yes they will not hit the semi trucks from there. According a UPS video on Youtube, most planes land, are unloaded and loaded back up ready of take off within 2 hours. On a side note my watch that that has 6-8 for shipping has moved to preparing for shipping.
 
So to lighten up the thread a bit Ima drop here a dream I just had. Well I just Dreamed i woke up in AT&T headquarters and they were shipping the phone extremely slow inside of freaking Amiibo boxes... Not even in an apple box or nothing no, they were just the phone loose inside an Amiibo box nothing else no charger or nothing, and they would ship like one phone per batch and the rest were random amiibos and then me and another guy from this forum post also appeared there at the headquarters. Well me and him started helping the AT&T guy ship them fast so we could get our phones tomorrow and then the guy told us it's ok we don't need to work overtime as long as we ship 1 per day we won't get in trouble. Then me and the guy gave ourselfs so that "you freaking serious look" and then I woke up. xD

Well still, 2am arrival in Louisville and then have to fly them to local hubs, to lets say Florida. 2 hour flight to Orlando hub (hour 45 and runway time), so then 4-5am.

Unload in Orlando and somehow get all over FL to local hubs before even 8:50 to load the trucks?

Slim slim chance, but HIGHLY unlikely.
 
We weren't going to upgrade at first but changed our minds on Saturday afternoon around 3pm CST. I feel guilty because ours are arriving tomorrow (one silver, one matte black, both 7 128). It doesn't make sense!
 
Yes it does

Sorry man. It's just a placeholder IMEI. Typically, newer iPhones start with the same two numbers (not 0's), which I think is an Apple identifier.

Then again, I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, lol. But for sure if it starts with 0's, it's a placeholder until your phone actually ships. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(
 
All hope gone for any black/jet black Plusses from ATT tomorrow. Epic fail, Apple! Only matte black Plusses arriving tomorrow are for Apple folks.

No Plusses at all for walkins to Apple Stores and tiny supplies of Plusses for the 3rd party stores and carrier stores.

Epic, epic, fail, Apple. I wouldn't have imagined it to be true after getting my phone on launch day for the last 5 years. Mind blowing.
 
The flights are irrelevant. I am sure they have Iphones on them, but AT&Ts just come in batches on those aircraft and make their way to their facility. Your phone specific phone may or may not be on it. If you get shipping tonight, it's a phone they already have that they are still working through the processing for. That's why often peoples tracking have scans from before the tracking was even assigned to their phone.

IP7+ black 128 9/23-9/30, ordered at 9/9 2:58a EST here. Just hopeful I wake up with tracking as I've seen people get them this late.
