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

Ronnoco said:
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.

I'll hang in, I'm sure.
If it were any other color than rose gold, I'd probably switch it.
I overthought it on pre-order night and was a little punchy and buzzed at the time, figured that since I got onto Premier site and completed before the site was to open, figured I'd be near the top of the list. I had already checked out before I realized 10/13-10/20 ship date.
I work for the company so I know the current dates are 50-55 for any JB +

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:

Quick question. I got two iphone plus through at&t next as a new customer. And i was chargee taxes only up front about 140 bucks. And today they refund money back to my bank account. Strange is same day it happened my status went from in progress to back order according to at&t order status line. Why did they refund money?

They authorize it first then release it. Once they ship it, you'll be charged officially.

Apple orders are on those UPS Jets in Louisville as people have tracked their deliveries to those flights. It would make sense that some JB Pluses are on these two MD11's coming in from Louisville.

Third MD11 just showed up flying to DFW tomorrow afternoon. iPhones are starting to really roll now

The holdup in Korea really caused some inventory problems. We're talking about millions of phones on those planes. Just another thing to add to this bizarre launch.
 
Ronnoco said:
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.

Now if only At&t could learn a smidget of that from them...at least the orderly part, maybe they wouldn't have so many upset customers around pre-order time. We just want some organization and communication like UPS...guess that's too much to ask for smh

Ordered my JB 256gb iPhone7 + on 9/9 at 2:58am and has said preparing to ship in what seems like an eternity.
 
How sure are we that the MD11's carry iPhones? There is one MD11 landing in Los Angeles right now. Another just took off from Anchorage and headed to Louisville.

I had a UPS pilot tell me so. Also, many of those planes coming into Louisville from Anchorage originated in the cities where the iPhone factories are located. Some of these Apple preorder people are like professional flight trackers. It's truly amazing how they do what they do. To track a single phone to a giant UPS Jumbo jet coming from China carrying a quarter of a million phones. A little scary actually, Lol.

I'm assuming since these are ups planes, none of these phones will be att deliveries?

The ones coming into DFW now are the AT&T phones. I believe there are four of them enroute.

I have no reason to believe this isn't true. Like I said, Apple preorder people are tracking their phones to these flights.

I put in my order for the Next program Plus MB 128 in store on 9/11 after the runaround from Apple IUP/Citizen's Bank. I was glad because I want the credit for my trade-in. My estimated ship date though is Oct 14-21st.
 
Finally shipped!!! Status went to back order sometime between 5pm and 8pm est. Just checked via *6737# and it shipped!!
