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

And still no jet blacks yet in this hemisphere.

So when you pay it off do you mean you own that phone now? Or was that enough to just trade in the phone for a 7?

It was just amount needed to be upgrade eligible. I was in the 30 month next plan. Needed 70% or so paid off to be upgrade eligible.

Been following this thread for almost 2 weeks now. I was able to reserve an iPhone 7 plus in matte black 256 gb this morning at the Apple Store and I'm currently loving my new phone! Hope the best for all of you waiting for your phones!

I just reserved one myself.

Finally shipped...ordered Plus 128 MB... delivery tomorrow... trying to figure out if they are gonna require signature from ATT because it does not specify on FedEx notes

Yes. Received mine today and it required a signature

My status through *6737# went to backorderd at about 5:30. I'm hoping it's the good omen it has been for 95% of us.

My status through *6737# went backordered for me around 3:45 PM PT. I got a 256 GB MB 7+, and it's headed to the Bay Area.

Just got a shipment notification on mine - Matte Black 256gb - so I'll have it tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

Checked a few Apple Stores in my Area (metro Atlanta) this morning but nothing was available.

I know they launch in some additional countries on Friday and I was gonna feel real salty if mine had not at least shipped prior to Friday even though the estimated ship date was 9/23-9/30!

Just posting to let others know my friends 256 MB Plus shipped.

 

[gguerrap]

I received shipping confirmation today on my 7 Plus (Matte Black, 256gb on AT&T).
My order went through at 4:11:47 ET on the 9th, and had been "In Progress" from then until about 1 pm today, at which point it showed "Back Ordered."
At 3:06, I received the shipping confirmation e-mail from AT&T, with delivery tomorrow.
Initially, my shipping window was between the 23rd and the 30th.
I am in Northern Indiana.

You have to think about it from a business point of view. They have a pre selected number of devices that are going to retail stores, so they can make money too. If Apple (or carriers) relied only on pre-orders, or shipping the pre-orders out before they are available in stores, no one would make any money. The retail store employees would make no commission, the stores would be under par for their numbers, and probably would discontinue to carry said phones. Apple may not have been able to foresee the large number of pre-orders (which I agree should be easily expected, since it happens year after year), so in turn they have to wait for shipments from manufacturers, who I am assuming are working their A**es off to keep up with the production requirement due to pre-orders. I mean really, how is it going to affect you to have to wait a few extra days to receive a phone? Be patient... your phone IS coming.

Im stuck using a 4 right now cause my 6 plus broke, so unlike some, i actually really need this phone. If i had my 6 plus it wouldnt be that big of a deal. And i was one of many who stayed up super late on a work night to preorder this phone, only to watch others who preordered it so many hours, even days after i did, receive it before me. I'm being as patient as i can. Lol

I just need a 128 MB to fall out sky and land in Louisiana

 

[KillaMac]

Sucks pretty bad that I ordered before most here, and mine is still preparing to ship. BS. So done with AT&T and their shady practices.

Order date: 09/09/2016 at 2:46:16 a.m. ET - 256gb Matte Black iPhone 7 plus

I wish we had an Apple store, but closest is 170 miles away.

Any word on Jet Black being shipped yet?

 

[Hammtastic]

Ok guys, it's been fun. I put my middle finger up at ATT, I reserved a phone at Apple in Charlotte and just picked it up. After picking it up I cancelled my order with ATT and when asked for a reason, I told them exactly why. And I didn't candy coat it. So that frees up another MB+128 for you guys. Good luck!

 

[maverick96]

I'm officially in the "backordered" camp now!! 7 Plus 256GB matte black

 

[srijans]

Yes. Received mine today and it required a signature

Most people have reported not having to sign for the FedEx shipment.

 

[lucasmillen]

how are you guys reserving these phones?

Mine doesn't show signature needed. Guess it's a crap shoot, for now. I'll just have to be home tomorrow.

Not a single one on here (in this thread) has shipped today (yet). The unicorn stays elusive
