I've been watching this thread since around page 80 and just wanted to chime in with my experience... I preordered an iPhone 7 plus 128 black at 3:21am ET on the 9th and like everyone else I've been stuck in PFS purgatory. No AT&T stores or the Apple Store received any pluses so I felt like I'd be waiting forever... until I check Target. They had 1 phone and you bet your *** I rushed to get it. Currently waiting my turn and I can NOT wait to hit that "cancel order" button. It's been fun (not really) waiting with y'all, but I finally will have my phone! Good luck to everyone else, keep looking on Apple, Target, or Best Buy!
 
I've enjoyed the back and forth with all of you over the last 10 days. But I took the plunge, and cancelled both of our phones from AT&T (256GB 7+, JB & RG). After a few minutes, I re-ordered both from Apple (got MB for me instead of JB; worried about the scratching). Got a shipping window of 2-3 weeks (10/5-10/11) on both. I feel confident that they'll show up earlier than that. Still will probably beat AT&T. So dumb.

Cape

Cape Girardeau here, no new updates on my 128 MB plus ordered 2:19 CST 9/9

St. Louis here. I place my order for my 256 gb jet black plus on 9/9 @ 2:00:25am CT. I've received no new updates, just stuck on preparing to ship 9/30 thru 10/07.
 
For those of you checking target there is an inventory checking website called http://brickseek.com/ where you can check availability at lots of stores by sku. You can look up the sku, for example the 7 plus 256 in silver sku is 255-14-0771, you just have to search first for the sku then you can check stores around a zipcode. 128 jet black plus is 255-14-0764, 128 mb plus is 255-14-0765, etc... I Couldn't find the one I wanted anywhere close but in case this helps someone!
 
Thanks to you I got there in time. canceled my wife's preorder which was still preparing for shipment since 9/9. And was able to do Next in time. My phone comes tomorrow, good look to you all getting your phones

Where do you people live? H-Town has no availability at best buy, target or Apple in store reservation.

Anyway you want to look at it all these companies are making us touch our toes going crazy for this damn iPhone.

Hey guys! been her since day 1. I'm seeing SOME type of movement on my order. Ordered a MB 7+ 128gb at 4:52am (central) from ATT. Has been showing preparing to ship since the 9th, but as of about an hour ago, it says back ordered. Not exactly what I want to see, but it is something.
Mine went to back order and everyone was telling me that this was a good thing and they were right it shipped the next day

Nashville had to drive 30 min to get to a target that had stock.
 
In Triad - my closest Apple store Greensboro. No luck yet. Let me know if anything appears in Charlotte! That's just a quick drive.... I'll post in if anything shows up in triad. I would think Charlotte and Raleigh would have more opportunities to get a batch of 7+'s. R

I can confirm there was a 7+ 256 Black at one of the Charlotte stores last night at 12:02. I thought about making the 4.5 hour drive to get it. Lol

Tried the AT&T Twitter. Just got a canned answer and not one ounce of help. Nor the willingness to even look into my order.
I'm surprised you got a response at all. They will tweet when they see you have a problem and they will tell you to DM them. That's as far as I got. They wouldn't respond to me again. I've given up on caring. Grabbed my phone phone from an Apple Store and couldn't be happier. I really hope you get yours soon.

I like Nashville, travel a lot for work and been checking between Houston and Omaha... No luck.

Still waiting on my 128gb black matte plus. Ordered around 3:22 am like most and have my shipping window between 23-30.
 
I can confirm there was a 7+ 256 Black at one of the Charlotte stores last night at 12:02. I thought about making the 45 hour drive to get it. Lol

The Target on Rea Rd has a MB+128 on hand but I assume its for a preorder because it is not a saleable quantity. Also the Target in Midtown has one as well but also must be for a preorder.
 
Yup, at the end of the day ATT is still within their shipping quotes for most of our orders. Its this thread thats poisoning :p everyones mind with the expectation of getting our phones earlier than what was originally quoted when we pressed the pre-order button. The saltiness started to pore everywhere when some people/trolls got earlier ship notifcations than others for the same device, and some of those people got a good nights sleep on the 9th and order hours later in the AM and have their phones now lol. Im just not going to sweat it, unless my phone slips out of the ship window and Im still somehow waiting for it. Still checking my status every hour though :rolleyes:
"Saltiness" Hahahaha!!! :D:D

Next time reserve it and PM me... if you don't want it, you can cancel the reservation and I'll try to grab it :)
 
Surely the plane that arrived in Dallas a few hours ago has some good news for all of us! Power through everybody, we're almost to the "designated shipping window" where no more excuses can be made!
Oh, don't say that....they will just start pushing all of our dates back or something messed up
