Thanks for giving me hope! Even if it doesn't end up happening, it's fun to have hope for now.

I feel like they would let you, especially because you haven't technically started paying for it yet. Best route is probably talking to an AT&T rep.
It just makes more sense (to me, at least lol) to pay an extra $3 a month or so versus the $400 it'll be to upgrade early next year

[doublepost=1473492864][/doublepost]Did anyone who ordered a 7+ 256gb black (not jet black) get a ship date of 9/16? If so, when did you order it (include time zone)?

Ordered the same phone as you at 7:07 am eastern time and got a 2-3 week shipping time with a delivery estimate of October 4-10. (You didn't say which version you ordered—mine is AT&T, which I suspect is the most plentiful.) My order status is "processing." So I'm about one week behind you. But it wouldn't suppose me if the phone gets here sooner or later than the promised delivery window.
 
Did everyone who has preparing to ship who added a new line - also get their new number?

I hope I get mine the 16th - since I have preparing to ship.

I already got a phone case and screen protectors coming.
 
Ordered 2 iPhone 7 Plus 128GBs the second orders went live. Mine was Matte Black and my mom wanted Rose Gold. She got a "delivery by date" of September 16th. I got an "estimated shipping date" of September 23rd through the 30th.

Seems like Black and Jet black, regardless of order time, had a default shipping time frame of 2-3 weeks. Even longer for Jet black.

AT&T will update your order status page way before they send you a shipping update email. Also I've had them ship the phones days before they updated the order page. Typically, they under promise and over deliver on shipping time frames to avoid any false expectations. Most people who ordered yesterday will get their phones on Friday, regardless of what their shipping window says (unless you ordered Jet Black).

My husband got his new number. If you go to your order status in your att account, it shows the new number.
 
I did order iPhone 7 Plus 128GB AT&T Jet Black. I completed my order around 2:13 a.m. CST (12:13 a.m. PST). As others have noted, delivery dates changed (later date) after I completed purchasing process. At end of purchasing process, it originally stated Oct. 3 - Oct. 10. After online chat yesterday w/ Apple representative, she was able to expedite shipping so now it shows delivery date between Sept. 30 - Oct. 6. I hope it ships earlier than that because I have work trip Oct. 3 - Oct 7. Do you think it's possible it will be delivered in September if not Sept. 16? I've considered cancelling the order and ordering the same model in Rose Gold as it shows delivery dates in September, but still holding out hope that my Jet Black will ship earlier then listed. What do you think? I know I can fill out the pre-shipment form like I did last year when my Apple Watch delivered while I was out of state and a friend came and got it off my front porch until I got home. Obviously, that's not my preference though. My order says it is still "Processing".

Really??! 2:41am?? I was on the app from 2:30 on tapping it. And reloading and it didn't go live until 2:51.. Exactly like last year. Having trouble believing the 2:41.

On app? Or computer browser?

I got my order in at 2:43am EST. I did it from my PC. It seems that some were just randomly let in earlier.
 
Just FYI all of my extra temp authorizations (had 4 on one card and 3 on another) fell off for the $0 ones and credits for the tax on Next except 1.

Only 1 $52.20 remains for the tax on my 128gb Plus. So looks like the billing error is straightened out ATT had running cards multiple times due to site errors.
 
Sorry if I'm late or this has been repeated many many times, didn't feel like reading through all the pages lol.

I ordered 6 minutes after 12:01am and I got a 9/23-9/30 date for a Black 7+ 128gb. Think this will come on launch day? I typically don't order on launch day and the years that I have, friends who worked in store would hold a phone for me.

Thanks!

It seems like the consensus is every specific model/color/capacity got assigned the same delivery date if it was ordered soon after the pre-order started. Everyone is hoping they're rough estimates and that we'll all be happy campers on 9/16!

Just in case it helps anyone, ordered at 3:03 AM EST. That order was canceled by AT&T (I received the "Yor order is pending" email). Resolved the issue and ordered again at 4:56 AM EST.

Shipping estimates didn't change within that time. Currently Pending Shipment.

Mine was AT&T - that's the Forum we are on. Thanks for the reply.

It was on Safari on my macbook, I've had the page on since 10PM Pacific Time. Then portal opened at 11:41 Pacific Time
 
Earlier today, I received an email with shipping and tracking details for my Apple Leather case and my iPhone 7 Plus (128GB). A bit early, no?

Yeah I think a lot of people who went through AT&T have this date range - I ordered right at launch and I have the same date range.

For just the +, right? I ordered a regular 7 and they gave me a launch day delivery.

Once you know your carrier (UPS, FED-EX) and receive a tracking number, you should be able to call the carrier and ask them to hold the package until you return. I've done this. Now, as some have said, you may even have the phone delivered BEFORE you receive tracking and carrier information, so that would make my point moot. Lol.
