I just read in another thread, that several UPS planes that were delayed all day in China and Korea (apparently their customs were having some issues with these planes) were due to land in Louisville shortly. Some of these are carrying Jet Black iPhones, as people are literally tracking their orders as to which flight they are on (amazing what iPhone people do to find their phone). Hopefully some of these planes depart for DFW soon and bring some JB inventory to ATT for shipment.
 
Omg!!!! I just received shipping notification for my 7+ Gold 256gb...order details like date and time on pic. I'm in central florida if that helps anyone. Good luck everyone.

Side note: my order went into back order around 7 something.

Congrats! Enjoy your new  iPhone I hope we join you in the "our phone shipped" club tomorrow or Friday.
 
I just want my JB+ 128GB :(. I've been one of the more patient people in this thread, but it's growing thinner every day.

I was too but there's hope at the end of the tunnel. I was one like why is everyone else getting backorder and shipment notifications but me Then yesterday it happened...backordered and just now shipped.
[doublepost=1474522832][/doublepost]Thanks everyone for your kind words and motivation throughout this forum. Most of us shared the same madness and was on the verge of losing it over this damn phone and AT&T's bs. Just when I was giving up hope and getting really jealous of everyone who was posting shipments of their phone (some with no proof lol)...I started making calls to Apple yesterday to see about reserving a phone as it wasn't working for me online at all.

That didn't work out but then a few short hours later, my order was backordered. Then just a moment ago...shipped. My ship dates were 09/23-09/30...7+ Gold 256gb...now I can't wait to have it then eventually jb it(whenever a jb becomes available) :cool::D;):apple:

I see that UPS flight 752 is set to depart from Louisville at 3:37am ET and arrive at DFW at 5:24am ET. http://www.flightstats.com/go/Fligh...?id=781348769&airlineCode=5X&flightNumber=752

Hopefully that has some Jet Black 7 Plus phones for us.
 
128GB MB 7+ arrived today around 2:30. As a reminder I ordered on preorder night at 12am.

Hope you all get your phones soon.

It's really quite amazing how UPS does this. Literally tens of millions of phones being shipped from China to all over the world. The logistics alone are mnd-boggling. Even more so is how quickly these ground crews get packages off one plane and onto dozens of others. Each package has to be scanned, and placed on the proper plane. They do this in a matter of minutes, and turn those flights around in no time, all while we sleep. Incredible really.

Some of those planes are heading for DFW now.

Good lookin out. I do see two MD11s scheduled to leave in an hour or two. Are you seeing other planes?

Since you are the all-knowing one now, what are the chances my JB 7+ ordered the 9th at 3:07 with a ship date of 10/14-10/21 will be on there

haha, I don't know anything. You should go to flight tracker and look for UPS flights from Louisville to DFW. Apparently there are jb Pluses on some of those flights. If they come into DFW tonight, they will be shipping out tomorrow.
 
What is the latest order for iPhone 7+ 128gb Matte Black from AT&T that has shipped so far that we've seen in this thread? Most everyone that I've seen so far have all been in the 3:00am ET time range. Have any shipped from later on the 9th, or 10th or 11th, etc? I know some other models have shipped with later dates, just curious.
 
Well, everyone. It's been real. My journey has come to an end.:(
I cancelled my ATT order this morning (midnight PST) & reserved an iPhone 7Plus MB 128 at the Apple Store. I stopped in after work today (6pm), showed them my reservation number & a few PAINLESS minutes later I was walking out the door. :cool:
You woul've thought ATT would've learned a few things from Apple:apple: about how to treat customers well, but I guess not.

Best wishes to everyone still waiting, I hope you all get deliveries soon! :D

Was your order for an iPhone 7+ 128gb mb? I hope so cuz then that's another spot in line I move up lol

Any way to Track fedex planes ?
 
Am I the only one who grows angrier every day at the fact that AT&T took pre-orders for Jet Black iPhone 7 Pluses with absolutely no initial stock, and while some Apple customers have already received theirs ahead of schedule, AT&T is STILL without stock? I know they didn't make any promises, but with all of the initial forum comments like "don't worry, this happens every year - they under-promise and over-deliver", it's clear that AT&T doesn't provide accurate shipment dates. Regardless, if they knew ahead of time they wouldn't have any initial stock of the Jet Black Plus, they shouldn't have offered pre-orders for that model. I'm kicking myself for having passed up the Apple.com order page that said "ships in 2-3 weeks" and instead chose to try my luck at AT&T's miserable pre-order process, now knowing that I might have already gotten mine had I stuck with the Apple order. It's even more frustrating that there is absolutely no explanation to be found anywhere on the internet as to why AT&T still has no stock of Jet Black iPhone 7 Pluses to send their customers. Absolutely the LAST time I will ever order from AT&T.

Oh, and I should add, that little "promo reminder" AT&T decided to send us all the other day made what was already a frustrating waiting game even worse! Was there no one at corporate saying "Hey guys, you know how we don't have any Jet Black phones to send all those customers that pre-ordered? Do you think maybe it might get their hopes up to send them a text message that says their phone is on the way?"

Ugh!
I too am tired of waiting for JB+ 128 Checked Albuquerque Apple Store and only reservation is for RGD 128+
Guess I'll still be waiting it out, lol.
Do I go for the rose gold and have the phone tomorrow or wait possibly another month for Jet Black,which is annoying the F out of me. .......decisions decisions

You wait for that Jet Black. Why settle? Especially if you want the JB. Trust.

I really do think the JB's will be shipping shortly to those who ordered early on preorder night. It seems nearly impossible to walk into any retailer and walk out with a JB Plus, including Apple stores. Most Apple stores don't even have Jet Black Plus in-store demos. Two flights heading to DFW from Louisville tonight. As I told baseball Mike, those two flight s alone will carry about half a million phones, which all have to be scaned individually into the ATT inventory system. Should see some action starting later tomorrow or Friday. Hang in.
