Will do!Those who were lucky enough to get a Sept 16 date (most likely for a regular 7), please let us know when you're ships
Through the years with my iPhone preorders, I've always had it delivered by FedEx. Whether I lived in Texas or Washington state, it was the same for me.
My husband ordered a regular 7 matte black Sunday evening. He has a ship date of September 16-23. I'll report if it ships this week.
Weird. I ordered my 32GB Black 7 at like 9AM and I have 9/15 shipping date.just checked mine to see if there had been any updates, still reads the same.
Order Date: 9/9/2016 @ 8:49:12 am
Order Status: Preparing to ship
Item: Iphone 7+ 128 G matte black
Item Status: Processing
Tracking Number: Pending Shipping
Shipping Date: 9/23-9/30
Like an earlier post said, the next few days will give us a better idea of how accurate these dates are. Fingers crossed these were automatically set as a "worst case scenario" date but honestly if I have to wait another week or two I wont lose my mind. Would still like it on launch day though
wonder if the fact that I have the 7+ at 128g made that big of a difference. I see a lot of folks getting the same kind so I wonder how popular that particular version is.
I disagree...I ordered the 6plus Friday morning around 6am of the release and got the phone a week after launch.
Noticing more and more airplanes headed this way from China!! Have to imagine we should see changes to our status' by tomorrow afternoon/evening or maybe earlier.

I'm still getting this error from AT&T's page
when using a phone number and zip code. Anyone else having this problem?
- S100: A temporary system error keeps us from completing your request right now.
This type of error usually lasts only a few minutes but may continue for several hours, and we're working to fix it now.
Please wait a little while, and try again.

Is the trade in deal worth it if you have an iPhone 6? I have an iPhone 6 64GB thats I originally paid the subsidized $299. It's in great condition and I can probably sell it on eBay for about $300. If I trade it in I get the $650 and a new phone. After 30 months, I'll own this one. Am I missing something?
The phone has to be paid off in full to trade it in and in good condition. I personally think it is worth it. Paying mine off and trading it in. Same phone. You're still responsible for the sales tax on the new phone and an upgrade feee if its not waived via a FAN or rep.
Yes… Darn it… I've been misstating from my first post in this thread. AT&T definitely uses FedEx and not UPS. Everywhere I've said UPS I meant FedEx. My apologies. UPS is for Apple. They use them pretty exclusively.
The one year I ordered directly from Apple, my iPhone 5S… came from UPS… and also on launch day.

I read it is every 5 days they turn it over next best in the tech industry is 10. these numbers are from 2013 or 2014 I saw that article a few days ago it is amazing how they do it.
Received an automated text from ATT about activating the insurance on the new device via the activation page. Not sure if it's them getting ahead of themselves or a sign of a potential shipment. Gives 52 days to complete the process. 52 days from the initial request that is.
I just now got below message from AT&T. I have got insurance on my new iphone 7.
AT&T Free Msg: The insurance requested to cover your new device is not yet active. To complete your enrollment, locate and insert the SIM card that shipped with your device and visit att.com/activations to finish the setup process. Otherwise, your insurance request will be canceled 52 days from the request date. Thanks for choosing AT&T.
Me too.....

Not sure if this has been mentioned previously. I just got an alert from ATT saying that the insurance requested to cover my new device is not yet active. To complete enrollment insert sim card and activate the device. Must be done with in 52 days. I don't recall having seen that in previous years. Could that be an indicator that the phone is near shipping once that message is received if you have insurance on your device?
Ordered 7 plus regular black 256g. Ship date Sept 23rd-Sept 30th.

Yup that could mean good news. You probably wouldn't get that if your delivery was 2 weeks away. That gives hope to others as well, I don't have insurance so I can't tell but hopefully this is a positive sign.
I think it depends on the bank I have chase and my charge hasn't gone anywhere.
I used the order number instead and that worked. Still have an early october ship window. Ordered it Saturday morning, 10am
