I just checked my status using *6737# and it's went to back ordered. I'm hoping it's like the others and means it's been shipped. Mine was ordered 9/9 with shipment date of 9/23-9/30 7+ 256gb Rose Gold. My location is Western Ky.

I'm not sure how to edit my post but earlier it said "in progress" this is what it says now. It changed in the last couple hours.
The items in your order are currently on back order, and we will notify you by email as soon as these items ship.
To check progress, please visit https://www.att.com/checkmyorder/omhub.rt at anytime.
We apologize for the delay.
 
Reserved a 128 matte black plus this morning at Apple Store and canceled my att order. Typing this on my new 7+ now.
Oct 7th my ass.
Congrats to you!

Gee, thanks, Apple -- nice of you to make phones avaliable for those who decide to walk in & get one as opposed to those who had to order through carriers & are still waiting on the phones we ordered during the opening minutes of the preorder. It would be great if Apple would fulfill *all* preorders before making the phones available in general.
 
Thank you to the guy who posted that Apple availability link.

I'm driving into Manhattan to pick up my matte black 256 later.

Unacceptable ATT.

Just in case anyone missed the reservations link earlier: https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/US/en...1&sourceID=email&rv=0&path=&iPP=U&appleCare=Y

I was able to reserve a MB 7 at my local store and switched to iUp and cancel my Next order. Grateful to the person who posted this in the first place as I didn't know where to find it on Apple's site.

Congrats to the people who are starting to get some shipment confirmations! Also thanks to whoever put this link up several pages ago wish I could like your post but I can't find it now.
 
Just remember if you're on the IUP you have to go to the store next year in the huge 10th year upgrade mess. Can't order online to ship to you with IUP or switch back to Next

Not worth it IMO to pay $64 more for the year (yes Apple Care Plus but big whoop it's retail $129 anyway, not any deal, just add it yourself if you want it) all to get the phone what, few days earlier here.

Especially after Apple "forgot" to save IUP stock this year

I much prefer to buy my phones outright, so its with much pain that I must pass on the black 7 plus models in stock at the Aventura Apple Store in North Miami. Back to waiting it is...
 
Well, the impossible happened, My Iphone 7+ Black 128 gb Shipped!, Ordered 9/9 @ 10:15 am ET.

Was emailed tracking number today .. Good luck to the rest of you..

To be fair the rose gold, gold and silver were never as backed up as the 2 black colors.

The black colors were prob ordered 2 to 1 or more over any other color choice this year.
 
Anybody from Puerto Rico or the virgin islands waiting for their Iphone 7 plus in this thread? Been here since the beginning and I feel like an outcast lol
waiting on my I7P matte black 128gb - PR area
pre ordered on the 9th at 12:50pm
order preparing for shipping for over a week already, no other movement whatsoever.
estimated delivery for 23-30 september.
I'm in the same ship as you. I ordered 3:04am 9/9 a iPhone 7+ 128 Black and got 9/23 - 9/30 delivery dates.
No movement at all. Disappointed that at&t shipped phones to people that ordered way after me.
And the worst thing is that at&t will use USPS to ship the phone to PR.

I guess we have no other choice than to suck it up and wait, cause there are no apple stores here to schedule an appointment or something. This has been such a bad experience so far. Do you think we'll get our phones before next friday? I really feel like we are part of the minority here due to where we live..

You can buy it outright if you reserve.

Says it in the reservation email I just got.

They should have adjusted production accordingly. But with that said, other carriers have shipped these phones, they are even in apple stores in some locations yet still no movement from ATT. I don't buy that there was a higher demand when they are showing up in apple stores and other people who ordered from other carriers well after many of us are getting their phones before us. Nope, don't buy it at all.
 
I've seen TONS of matte black phones ship today...like this post if you're still waiting for a Matte Black,128GB, 7 plus(like I am)

Also I'm about an hour and a half east of Houston, TX(I say that because not many people in Texas have gotten their phones or tracking numbers yet)

Oh Im not justifying it but that's Apple's mentality. Make the same number of each and people can wait. They'd rather make people wait than make "too many;" although I have no idea why that matters as the dont have a shelf life like groceries or something and will eventually be sold.

Im still pending 4am EST order 128 black Plus.
