What more likely happened with popglitch's neighbor is that zhe didn't really pay attention tracking. Or maybe the shipped email got spam filtered.
Right. Also my neighbor could have ordered from Apple.com, or BestBuy, or Tmobile / Sprint etc. I have no idea where he ordered from.

Thank you! I just went there and bookmarked it and there's a tip on the homepage about removing stock apps so I'm gonna follow that tutorial right now cause whatever this GarageBand app is I don't need it.

Ordered at 3 AM ET exactly. iPhone 7 plus Matte Black 128GB, original window is September 23-30. Order status: preparing to ship.

Thanks for the info. I have the same order, same status, but don't feel like sitting for hours on hold with ATT's reps. I was hoping to get notification today about a Monday delivery but now it sounds like it could be around two weeks.
 
Perhaps you are missing my point, I get yours...you've made it about 10 times. FIFO is my only point. If I was standing in a line of people when suddenly a group of people who just arrived was escorted by AT&T personnel to get in line right in front of me and they got the last phones available then I believe I have a right to be upset that AT&T allowed it to happen. To be very clear, I'm not upset that I didn't receive my iPhone today...rather I'm upset at AT&T for not doing FIFO.

End result is that if people get orders filled after my order then I DO WAIT LONGER for my iPhone regardless of the dates given to me by At&T. That is simply fact and myself (and others) have a right to be upset about that...

We can agree to agree on both (mutually exclusive) points.


Hahaha so it appears we were both making 2 different arguments, that we both actually agree on
 
Is there anyone who ordered a regular iPhone 7 [non plus] in any configuration (minus jet black) that didn't get them today?

iPhone 7 plus 128gb matte black order still showing 9/23 to 9/30, no change in status since day 1 on 9/9 here! Sucks.

I ordered the same phone after you and my date has said 9/16 the entire time.
Still don't have it though. Nor a tracking number.
 
So I think no matter what ATT is full of crap. I called the local store to see if it was possible to get one in store and cancel, figuring unlikely and the guy told me two things - one that the website and store preorders were separate stock which is neither here nor there, but that store preorders had priority over web orders which makes NO SENSE. But second he said that the stores nationally got absolutely no pluses for the preorders. I have to read back on this thread but I thought someone got one in store. Anyway, so according to him the only possible way you could get a plus was through the web preorder. I remember last year the guy in the store told me it was better to order online, but this guy said he was in direct competition with the website orders...
 
Is everyone just swapping sims from 6/6s to 7?
Att just told me I can But apple site says its a different sim same size but different.
Am trying it now..

You don't switch sims, just follow the activation instructions and it will switch all your info from your 6/6s to your 7. When yours ships AT&T will send you a video on how to activate. Also search online and read how to prep your phone for transfer to a new phone. If you are not backing up to the Cloud then you will want to back up to iTunes before you do the transfer, then everything moves over intact.
 
its noon and my phone's status on Fedex says "At local FedEx facility" and not "out for delivery".

lets just hope they forgot to update the page

Apple has confirmed that the the 7 Plus and both JB 7 & 7+ are sold out, only preorders being delivered. To get one in store you would have to wait for new stock to come in, and who knows how long that would be. DON'T cancel!

This afternoon AT&T has removed the hold that they had on my CC so maybe it is closer to being shipped. The status is the same as it was when the hold was on there.

I upgraded a different line I can't do it that way.

AT&T doesn't remove the holds. When the hold goes away depends on your bank and how long they allow it to remain there. Mine went away 3 days ago and my phone hasn't shipped. Eventually all CC holds disappear if they aren't turned into an actual charge.

Right but he said that no instore preorders received pluses either not that they were sold out, that since appl was sold out no store nationally (because I asked) received any which to me seems unlikely, but what do I know, maybe Apple gave them all to Apple first.

I had my ATT guy tell the same thing. There store got no +'s in and only four 7's in general. Couldn't give me a rough estimate on when they would get any instore. He says the only ones coming in store were the ones folks preordered through them (like myself) but as far as walk in stock he wasn't sure when those would be available.
 
For real?
Im HOPING the planes theyre bringing them on also have an allotment of jet blacks for the carriers. People's apple orders wirh dates of 9/30-10/7 have also shipped but with apple directly so im hoping that our att phones are on there...only thing is bc its ups if our orders are being delivered by fedex we wont have tracking info until fedex recieves our phones then we can try reference searching.
 
I am not sure what is making you laugh. But yes I am serious, this is 1st iphone and I won't Pre order another one

Did the order confirmation say you would receive it on Sep 16th? This wasn't a great launch, but Apple said ahead of time that supply would be restrained. I have no problem waiting for my phone. Every year someone says i won't pre-order again and then they do next year. This is the first year since the iPhone 3G that i won't get my phone on launch day but in reality it isn't really a big deal.
