got an email earlier in the day that my matte black 128g plus shipped. then few hours ago got an update that my phone was in ft worth and scheduled for delivery before noon 09.16

Do you have a screenshot of your order status page showing it has shipped? Not saying you're lying, but I've yet to see one status page showing anything other than "preparing to ship."
 
I'm saying I haven't seen any, you have? I've seen people say they have but when asked for proof, they disappear...
Any phones at all? Or just the unicorn? Bc I have shipment, I provided proof. In fact most people have been posting pictures of their shipment confirmations.

Are you really being serious? There are a ton of shipped screenshots on this thread. I'm going to post mine just get this over with. It's even a JB.

After a lot of consideration, I finally decided to just wait. I was going to cancel my Oct 14-21 order for the Jet Black 128 GB 7+, wake up early, go to the nearby AT&T store that told me they'd have +s in stock "of everything but Jet Black" - but why not wait and get the phone I want? Sure, it might take a month, but it could literally be a matter of a day or two extra if it ends up arriving early next week. Why totally blow up my plans and get a lesser (in my view, since I have a color preference for the first time in a few generations) phone just because it could take a little extra time? I'll ultimately have it for a year, might as well make it count.


Lesser? Matte Black is not a lesser device just because you prefer JB. They are all the same phones lol. Soon JB owners will be crying about scratches in MR when they knew this ahead of time ;). Thank God for folks like you that jumps on the bandwagon JB hype like RG last year. It makes the Black more available for us that wants it. I don't get all the hype about it when most of you will put it in a ugly case.

My status for one of my phones that has been showing delivery for 9/16 just changed to 'back-order' status... looks like supply is as bad as many have reported... got my order in quicker than any pre-order before, and this will be first time not getting a phone on launch day since 2007.

I feel for the IUP people and all, but if Apple seriously took ATTs 7+ allotment, and kept it for their own, that's pure bullsh*t. I didn't stay up all day last Friday, to order right after the pre order launch to not get a phone launch day.

I've still yet to see any 256GB +s shi[ from ATT in here.

Backordered is good (which I know is really, really odd). Usually means the phone will ship shortly. I would say worst case you're getting your phone by Monday. Best case, will still arrive tomorrow.
 
I have 3 lines on my At&t account. 2 of them I pre ordered iphone 7's. Would I be able to go into at&t or apple and upgrade to the iphone 7 on the one line that I didnt pre order anything on, but instead of that number I want to add one of my phone numbers that has the pre order??? HELP !!

I think they took the store stock, not necessarily the pre-order stock. It's all just speculation, but that's what makes sense to me.

According to the AT&T chat rep I spoke to no. But that didn't make complete sense to me. I think you'd have to activate it on the line you order it on and then switch sims or something like that. however, the rep did tell me the phone was "locked" to the line it was pre-ordered on. So, I'm realizing my answer is no help at all. Sorry.
 
they could avoid a lot of upset customers by just shipping orders in first come first serve

AT&T didn't even come near a "first come first serve" basis for the preorders. Almost all the people that are expecting their phones tomorrow ordered after me. Yes AT&T never promised me a launch day phone and my estimated shipping dates are 9/23-9/30. I totally understand that and I'm fine with it. But that's not the point obviously. It's the fact that many of us were up on the dot when preorders went live and are still sitting in the dark. With people who clearly ordered minutes, hours or even days after many of us did and are receiving their phones on launch day. Is it fair? Definitely not! It's actually frustrating! This is my 4th preorder through AT&T for the iPhone line and its the first time that they handled my preorder in a messed up manner. There is no logic behind how they are handling distributions of the iPhones. But I will remain hopeful for all of us still waiting for something, ANYTHING at all! It would be nice for everyone who preordered to have their shiny new toys this weekend! But the hope for my mines showing up tomorrow is slowly dissipating....:(:(
[doublepost=1474001196][/doublepost]BTW, any PNW peeps get their shipment notifications or any kind of movement on their orders? TIA!!

I cancelled my AT&T preorder after being able to reserve a 128gb Black plus in store for tomorrow's pick up. Thank God for Apple for making it right for IUP current members. I doubt this was the reason AT&T orders are delayed. They were pushed back a week later from the get go, so don't blame IUP recent adjustment ;). The exaggerated est. shipping estimate are there for a reason to cover their arse. Sometimes we get lucky and they come much sooner than estimated but it is starting to appear these dates are more realistic than previous years.
 
Thats the ATT payment plan number starting in a bunch of zeros. This is my third one and all started with zeros. Nothing to do with a phone assigned to it or not.



Well they're irrelevant in terms of delivery tomorrow anyway. It's too late now to make it landing in Louisville as late as 2am for delivery on trucks tomorrow morning from you local hubs. I seriously doubt they can get them local that fast; under 6 hours.

Likely Monday for any of those planes that have iphones. But considering coming from Alaska means coming from China so good chance loaded with iphones.

All of those flights from Anchorage will make sort tonight. UPS Worldport in Louisville can sort all of them extremely quickly.
Think of it this way - flights from the west coast (regular air cargo/packages), not will leave until 8-9pm-ish. It's about 4 hour flight plus time change, gets them to Louisville around 1-2 am. All those Next Day Air items will make sort and be delivered all over the country still that day, some even by 8:00 am.
Thus, those Anchorage origin flights will have no problem.
