Wonder if it matters where those of us who ordered JB + 256 live? I live in a large (ish) city that is not close to any large American city. Nothing, no movement at all and I ordered at 3:30 EST on the 9th. I too was late because I went through Apple twice--something didn't work--so I tried AT&T and got the confirmation email some time later that day. My Orders page has been at "preparing to ship" ever since. Hope very much we all get our tracking numbers today.

Outside Philadelphia here....

Finally got my tracking number 24 hours after going to back order for my 7+ MB 128 GB ordered 9/9. Got it this morning and arrives Monday by by 8pm. Had 9/23-9/30 ship date. Seems like I was the last one with a 7+ MB 128 to get mine with a 9/9 preorder. I think next year it's back to ordering from apple.

Good luck everyone waiting on their phones.
 
Oh boy! Isn't this a surprise? Just received the holy backordered response over text

Praying to Joe Pesci does work

Details in sig

After seeing your post, since I ordered the same phone just 2 minutes after you. I sent the text to check on mine, it is also showing BACKORDERED!

I was really considering dropping the Jet Black and going with the matte black. I'm glad I stuck it out.

Order date: 09/09/2016 at 9:41:40 p.m. ET
Estimated ship dates: October 7, 2016 - October 14, 2016
Apple iPhone 7 Plus (Black, 128 GB)

Just did the *6737# and got the back order text finally!! Looking out for my shipped email/text and will update you guys when I get it!!
 
I'm telling you the system is glitched up. It's the only explanation.
The worst part is that my order was placed right at 3:02am, which is after the system supposedly bugged out by letting people in early but not processing their orders til far later, and well before all the masses, as I had a 3 min queue on the wait page, by the time I was done it was already a 40 min queue. So once again f**k you At&T, you are a garbage ass company.
 
My order went to back order sometime overnight via *6737#. Order status web page still shows preparing to ship.
Ordered 9/9 @ 3:02:03ET.

When was the original ship date?
 
Ordered: iPhone 7 Plus, Jet Black, 256GB @ 3:39 AM on preorder day.

I was given 9/30-10/7 shipping window. It went to Preparing to Ship almost immediately, as of this moment no movement. I've been watching this forum and I'm so excited to see some of my model finally moving! I'll update if I see changes.

This is the first and last time I ever pre-order, or even regular order, anything with AT&T. Though I'm sort of mad at Apple as well. I tried originally to order through Apple and it got to the end and was only showing pickup as an option, which I didn't know why. I had to do some investigating to learn they will not ship to anything other than your AT&T billing address and I did not know that my mom had set our account to her P.O. Box instead of our home address, and Apple does not ship to P.O. Boxes. So I had to jump over to AT&T's site where they actually DO let you choose a separate shipping address regardless of your billing address. It was annoying and enough to push my potential order time from 3 to 3:39. Oh well.
My situation exactly the same as yours. Same phone
