Hey Everyone! Long time Lurker, first time poster. Mine just went to backorder last night about 8PM!! iPhone 7 plus Jet Black 256gb. I ordered on 9/9 at 3:45am EST with dates of 9/30-10/7. Hopefully I get a shipping notification today!

Just changed to backorder in the last hour or so!!! iPhone MB 32GB 7+, ordered on 9/13 at 10:18 am EST. Northern Virginia FWIW (I personally don't see how our location affects this process, but who knows).

Edit: Forgot to add, original expected ship dates were 10/11-10/18. And, as others have experienced, only got the backorder status using *6737#. Online status still shows preparing to ship.
 
Just recently ordered below iphones on Sept 24th.
Iphone 7+ 256gb Silver : Back Ordered when checking through *6737# (Porting number from T-mobile)
Iphone 7+ 128gb Black : In Progress when checking through *6737# (Just an upgrade)

I guess I'll be the last person on earth to get my iphones...

Just realizing that status changing from "In Progress/Preparing to Ship" to "Back Ordered" indicates something positive?
Not sure when the status changed to "Back Ordered". Its because I checked for the first time this morning, once going through these threads.
 
I am happy for those who ordered after launch day and get their phones already, but seriously, it's ******** when I ordered during pre-order and haven't seen anything yet.

Right with you, completed the order 54 seconds after preorder going life, and no updates from AT&T

Lucky on that Silver, dang. I ordered on 9/16 iphone 7+ 128gb Gold and still no updates. Although I don't hear a lot of people talking about the Gold on this thread so probably not a popular choice... Hoping I get it before the 10/14 - 10/21 expected ship date :eek:

(Also, Hi all. I've been lurking but haven't posted here yet!)
