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..
I just hope to receive it by Friday and not have to wait till the 30th.
I had the same experience with iPhone 6, they ship it on Thursday by USPS and got to PR by Monday.
 
iPhone 7P 128 BLK
Ordered: 09/09/2016 at 3:59:54 a.m. ET (Glitch wouldn't let me order for an hour)
Order status: Preparing to ship (Since 9/9)

Still no progress from them. It's total BS seeing that there are phones being delivered to those who ordered many hours later.
 
Seems to me like an logistics/luck thing as to people getting shipped do have one question why can't I receive updates via *6737#
 
Thank god! Mine shipped today with a delivery of Tuesday. iPhone 7+ 32 GB in black. Shreveport Louisiana so you know region. This has been a pain but well worth it!
 
Wife's shipped 7+ 128gb silver that was ordered on 9/11 and was slated for October 7th thru the 14th so that's weird will be here Tuesday

My order done at 3:34am launch night hasn't changed but I got a USPS shipping label created from Tuba City AZ randomly today and don't have any orders that would cause it minus the ATT orders for 256gb iPhone 7+ orders so I'll keep you posted
 
I feel like this was asked but I couldn't find the answer earlier...can you do next with the $650 trade in deal if you set up a reservation at the Apple Store or do they only allow reservation for iUP? Thinking about making the drive tomorrow if my phone doesn't ship but don't want to waste a trip.
 
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.

I dont think that was the issue if it was we would be seeing this across the board, but were not we are only seeing this with ATT. Hell I can pick up one right now at my local apple store but it's a sprint version. It's not like they were not being produced. I doubt that they would make "too many" or that would be considered. They adjust their productions based upon demand. There should be zero reasons why someone who orders on 9/16 should get their phone over anyone who preordered on 9/9.

I'm hoping for the same thing and get it this week. The 30th seems so far away, especially when other people are getting theirs already. So much for ordering on the first day of pre orders.
 
Long time lurker, first time poster etc.

My local apple store (Walt Whitman) had a 32GB MB 7 Plus which I was able to reserve for a 4:30 appt. Cancelled my AT&T order and I'm headed over there now. Thank you very, very much for the reservation link.

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)
I agree. I'm in Houston and I have yet to hear anything and I ordered at 3:05 am eastern (forgot to add on 9/9)

I'm about 1.5 hours west of Houston -- nothing.
 
well I went to my local at&t corporate store here in Louisiana to add a line to the wife's account to port my number in and they had the regular 7 in stock. I was told don't expect the 7+ for a while in store as quantities are scarce. I was going to wait on the 7+ from apple but after playing with it in my hand I opted to just get the regular 7 as i want something a bit more portable and easier to tuck away in my work bags without possibly getting the plus size bent or damaged more easily. They had every color except JB which I was told don't expect till November at best.

So happy ending for me and the wife as we both just picked up some new toys. Reports are correct that the 7+ is well in demand more than the regular 7. To those waiting still have a great one. Got a 7 256GB in MB and a 7 256GB in gold.

I've called the at&t idiots and told them as soon as I get my phone and as soon as I'm able, I'm ditching them and getting Verizon to buy out my contract with the at&t jackasses. This is the first and last time they "prioritize" my order this way -- shipping out the exact phone I ordered at 3:39am on 09/09 to people that ordered hours or days later on att.com or in their stupid-@$$ stores. I'm done. This will NOT happen again...not by at&t anyway.

Friend has Verizon -- ordered his a few minutes after me and his will be delivered tomorrow (Monday). His is a 256gb 7+ MB.
