HBKDinobot, where did you see the updated shipping dates? Was it an email or did you check your order through the website?

My Shipping dates got "updated" last night.

I'm sitting here waiting for the unicorn...
7+ JB 256GB
Ordered 9/9 @ 3:45 AM EDT (12:45am PDT)
Estimated ship dates: September 30, 2016 - October 7, 2016
Status: Preparing to Ship (Been like that since the 9th)
 
I don't think there is anything tricky about the "up to" language in the $650 promo offer. If you sign up for Next Every Year, but decide to upgrade after 1 year, you will receive half of the $650, which is $325, which is still more than any trade-in service is offering right. If you stay for the whole 2 years of the Next Every Year, you'll get the full $650. If you do the regular Next, that $650 is going to be spread out over 30 months.
 
I ordered at 0340 on launch day. 128 black plus. I cancelled my order yesterday and ordered through apple. So many people already received their phones that ordered a couple days after me. Att sucks

what's the date apple gave you?
 
October 12-18 but it seems apple is beating those dates. My next immediately reset and I was able to use next through apple.
 
A UPS plane landed in Fort Worth and also in Memphis this morning around 6am Eastern. Looking back at the flights usually each time this has happened updates occurred about 6 hours later on the forum.... here's hoping ;) I've also started seeing a smattering more shipping notifications on other boards. It would be super cool if it scanned in today and was overnighted as they usually do... I've ordered at least a device or 2 or 3 per year and have never had them ship on or later than that window... always before... knock on wood. I'm a 9/9 orderer of the the rg 256 7+... yeah, the pink one ;)
Actually, there were 3 UPS planes that landed in Dallas from Louisville early this morning, and there are 3 more scheduled to land this afternoon. If there's iPhones on those planes, then hopefully we'll see a good amount of movement today/tomorrow.

Everytime I see a 128gb black 7+ cancelled on AT&T I know that's one more spot in line for me. Keep em coming!

But seriously best of luck to you through Apple hope your phone comes quick.

Cool beans I just saw the 1. My boyfriend ordered a 256 matte black plus from apple on Friday and it just shipped and he got a tracking number already... he's rubbing it in pretty bad that i pre-ordered on the 9th and haven't even gotten a tracking number yet. He is with Verizon and ordered through apple though so OF COURSE... lol

Confusing. I'm just gonna go to ATT tomorrow.

I liked contracts so much better. Cheaper, and I would make money every year selling my old iPhone.
Actually I was bummed when I was told they dropped the contracts, but this is actually better. With the contracts you ended up getting about $450 off an iPhone and were locked in for two years. With this deal, you get $650 if you stay with them for two years.


What would they charge you for?

They charge you for "activation fee"...because they can? :confused:

I feel like AT&T has completely forgotten about my order..... I ordered on Sept 9.... and someone who ordered on Sept 13 just received shipping info.... for the exact same phone..... why...... I call and they say nothing is wrong with my account or my order yet they keep shipping phones to people who order after me (and even the people who ordered before me)..... Im tired of this **** now.... I was chill and light-hearted about it, but now.... **** that.... GIVE ME MY DAMN PHONE... AND SOME ****IN AIRPODS!

Someone who ordered from at&t on Sept 13 ordered WHICH PHONE? I saw a lot of 7s and maybe a few Rose Gold/Silver/White Pluses ship, but no 128gp Matte Black Pluses. If you point them out to me, I'll join your lynch mob, since that's my config too, and I ordered on 9/11! :eek:
 
Clearly they have no stock of Pluses and they are just BS'ing us with the pathetic fake "preparing to ship" order status nonsense, and these phony shipping window dates of 9/23/9-30.
If they would just change preparing to ship to backordered... I would be so much happier and be less prone to thinking its gonna come at any second

What were your boyfriend's initial expected delivery dates?

I ordered a 256 MB Plus from Apple on Friday as well after cancelling my AT&T order. Apple gave me Oct 11 - 18 but your post gives me hope I may get it much sooner.

Thinking I might be better off canceling my 128 GB JB + order from ATT and placing one with Apple, November date be damned. They seem to be the only ones shipping these phones out.

Thinking of doing the same, I am going to wait till tomorrow to see if the phones that came in last night and this morning provide any movement on my order, if not i'm ordering through Apple.
 
No changes on my shipping status yet but the credit card charges went through last night (and posted) 9-19. Note that this is fully processed not like a couple of weeks ago--where it was just a hold.

We will see what if anything that means. Hopefully a good sign of things to come TODAY...:eek:

Ordered 9/9 7+ 128GB Matte Black

I'm giving it until tomorrow afternoon then canceling and ordering through apple. I am just very concerned that my order got botched and for some reason is getting skipped over via their system. I ordered in the first 15 min and have seen no movement. (23-30) 128 7+ MB
