Carrier iPhone 7/7+ AT&T Pre-Order Thread

Yeah the rep I was on with today, who was a senior rep, without saying as much...told me to cancel the AT&T order and stick it out with my Apple.com order.
I wouldn't expect them to ever suggest I cancel their order in favor of Apple, but when it came to question of "soon", they said to go with Apple.
I am waiting on:
1x 7+ 256 JB with eta of 9/30-10/7
2x 7+ 128 JB with eta of 10/14-10/21
Ordered 09/09/2016 at 3:02:03 a.m. ET
Still Preparing to ship.
Have not seen ANY 7+ JB ordered from AT&T shipping yet.
Well, I followed the advice of some people here. Reserved a Sprint 256 plus MB using the link provided. Intended to purchase it at full price, pop in my AT&T SIM and walk out in minutes. Didn't work out that way. Janelle, the senior manager at the University Village Apple Store in Washington said nope. She explained that I used a link that was reserved for people who used the IUP exclusively. Refused to take my full payment of $1000 plus cash. Only way I was walking out with the iPhone in front of me was to sign up for the program, and then only on Sprint. So a waste of many hours of time. Never had a store flat out refuse to sell something at full price. Unlike any experience I've had with this particular store in the 14 years I've been purchasing stuff from there. If Apple has actually gotten so big in their head as to refuse a cash sale at full retail price, I kinda don't like them any more. Granted, there are obviously supply issues and they are trying to do damage control for the people who tried the IUP upgrade but couldn't get a reservation, but Janelle was just so unlike a typical helpful Apple employee and offered zero help or really any care as to why this policy is in place.
Morale of the story? Don't waste your time. It's worth more than Janelle and her crap attitude.

That makes no sense to me. Both the email and the confirmation I got when I reserved a phone today (decided not to drive 3 1/2 hours each way to get it) said I didn't have to use their upgrade program to purchase it.
And still a bunch of us with no phones or even shipping notifications
One on going problem with all this mess is trying to ensure that you have sufficient funds in your account at all times to pay for the thing whenever they start to ship. It would be nasty indeed to go through all the waiting only to wake up in the morning to discover that ATT or Apple tried to charge your card but found there was insufficient funds because you paid bills and forgot to transfer more funds into the account.
I know this feeling personally because it happened to me when I preordered my iPhone 4. Because several hours went by before I became aware of the problem, and they didn't send out notifications in those days, ATT said they could do nothing for me and I went to the back of the que. The wait was actually only a few days longer as the logistics were not this screwed up.

I was going to try the reserve link at 12 but I think they've caught on and it's over. So I'll just continue to wait for my JB 7+ 128gb. Sigh. I think I've seen 1 ship from At&t thus far. It's really baffling but there has to be a wave at some point within the next week or two. I hope.
That's really annoying. I think the silent treatment is worse than the "Preparing to Ship" status..
My concern exactly. I have stuff auto come out at all times, I just want to pay them now. But noooooo
If i place another order, this time with Apple, and later able to find one in store for pick up...will Apple cancel my pre order in store?
My order is literally time stamped 4 seconds after 3am ET and I have zero movement on my 7+ MB 128gb.
Apple will automatically cancel your pre-order if your upgrade eligibility cannot be verified when they go to process it.
For anyone who hasn't really considered checking Apple Store stock at midnight, I highly suggest it. I did have to drive a couple hours but it was so easy to walk in and pick up the phone. Not to mention it felt amazing to cancel that ****ing order
iPhone 7 Plus
128gb MB
AT&T Next
Woohoo!! Congrats!! So happy for you!
Just received my Silver 256GB 7. Restoring from iCloud right now. New home button is pretty neat. Screen seems brighter at 50% than my 6S did.
Honestly, I'll have to say this, I pressed the order button willingly, after being given the 9/23 to 9/30 ship date. I'm happy I got the place in line I do. I do expect my 128gb mb 7+ to ship by 9/30. Anything past that will be upsetting to say the least. Here's hoping for 9/23 ship date but doubtful.
