What's more sickening is that I can order the same thing iPhone 7 plus MB 128g at Best Buy & it will be delivered Tuesday how the hell is that possible
How accurate do you think those dates are? I'm tempted to cancel and order through Best Buy
 
Just got the backorder status using *6737#. Ordered a 7+ MB 32gb at 1:46 PM ET. Original ship dates of 9/30-10/7

Not likely to actually happen. Seems like the fulfillment of orders are accelerating. I placed my order on 9/12, had a delivery date on 10/9-10/21 and it shipped this morning.

Eight UPS (MD-11) planes coming in sometime later this evening, with a few of them that already arrived. It may be hopeful that we will see a lot more movement within the next 24 hours. Keep hanging on! :)
That's what I'm talking about! With people getting movement so close to my order time, my phone has to be on one of those planes!

My college students know that I am a self-proclaimed technophile. One of them just e-mailed me not to ask about the upcoming assignment that is due, but to tell me that if I didn't receive my new iPhone by Tuesday that she would let me hold/touch hers as a way to "temporarily heal my soul."

Haha!
 
I've been browsing this thread for about the last 20 pages and have not noticed a single person ordering a Silver 7 Plus and yet I'm still here stuck in 'preparing to ship'.

I would have thought the less popular colors would have more success as my wife got her Gold 7 Plus this Tuesday after ordering at the same time as me. No Luck :(

I ordered a 128 Silver plus on the 18th with a 10/14 delivery date. Like you I haven't seen more than a few people ordering a silver and yet we are still stuck in processing. Hopefully we will see some movement this week.
 
Got my MB 7+ 256 GB yesterday and it's beautiful and is very quick and responsive. I believe my phone has a faulty rear mic though.... :( When I record any video their is a very noticeable electric buzzing sound. I will have to contact apple about about a replacement once their supply chain catches up with all of the pre-orders.
[doublepost=1474751677][/doublepost]It kinda sounds like white noise....
 
Been on back order for 5 days now...ordered an IP7+, MB, 128GB with ship dates of October 18-25 and I see that they are shipping phones out with ship dates getting closer to that. But I mean 5 days on backorder...should I be worried?

That's crazy. I haven't seen too many people more than 24 hours on back order. I'm not saying it's bad. I hope it was due to those mechanical or weather issues. Does all your other statuses say Preparing to Ship?

I ordered via Premier @ 3:10am ET on 9/9. JB+ 256GB. Status changed to backorder on *6737# and on the order status website at about 7pm Friday. I received the email talking about your new service with AT&T, but no shipment information yet.
 
For all of you still waiting for any kind of update, I (and many others) know how terrible the wait is. I feel bad for anyone who ordered right @ midnight when pre orders went live and still have no movement. I feel bad for cdawg stuck on back order for 5 days!

This was all one giant mess, and I'm happy to have a ship time but won't rest easy until the device is in my hands.

With that being said, atleast take solace in the fact that everyone I've seen have shipped in the promised shipping time frames. I know that doesn't bring much comfort to those of you in the late October brackets but keep in mind a lot of people are getting them earlier, too. When I ordered my iPhone 6 Plus I had stayed up for the pre orders and I got a late November shipping estimate. Later I received an update saying I was bumped up to October, then finally it shipped on September 24th, ran into "mechanical delays" on the 25th, and arrived on the 26th. Kinda funny that's the date I'm supposed to get the 7 plus also.

Well, best of luck to you all. May we all have our iPhone 7's and 7 Pluses ASAP, even the 256 and 128 Jet Blacks! Allow me to end this with: Man..What a mess!!

Yes and one order status check as "processing" so I have a total of 3 different statuses :/ and I thought it was because of weather too but those Korea flights shipped mid day yesterday
 
Good luck. BB management said they are not getting the preoders until Oct 8th[/ I paid for next day shipping with a delivery date of

In my area, it shows they have my model in store. When I called, they said the only ones available are the preorders people already paid for. I paid for next day shipping, delivering on Tuesday. They said that is accurate so we will see...

We ordered two mat black 128gb iPhone 7's on the 9th. One at 12:19 and one at 12:39 PDT. The later one was delivered yesterday and the first is coming Monday.

Going to Not in Stock status on the 866 number means it's being shipped and you'll receive shipping tracking info soon. In the first case it came one hour after going into Not in Stock status. The second one took about 12 hours, but that may be because it was Friday.

The website info was always wrong. Don't rely on it. The 866 number is best. The *6737# call is second best.

The customer service people know nothing. Don't waste your time calling them.

I hope this info helps.
 
Everyone with their phones in the beginning or middle of shipment, did your charge cards get charged for the cost of the phone prior to shipping?
