Still waiting on a 128GB MB 7+. My wife's silver, same size, arrived on Friday of last week. I ordered them on 9/15, new AT&T customer. Website status still just shows Preparing to ship, so I'm hoping this is the week.
Got a tip for us?

The Veil XT. Probably the closest thing to naked possible.
Won't protect from impact, but will protect the finish from scratches, etc.
I'd prefer a clear one, but haven't found one as thin as this.
MB 7+ 128g reordered on 9/17 8:22pm ET after preorder day order got cancelled. No movement.
My original preorder was cancelled also. Order was redone 9/19 at 10am for MB + 128g. Really hoping for some shipping info this week or next so I can take that beautiful camera on my trip.
I had cancelled my original order with ATT on 9/17. Reordered with Apple 9/17 and finally got my shipped email this morning. (128 GB Matte black iPhone 7+ Att). Apple is shipping from China, so it's going to be awhile...
How do you know??? wouldn't Apple let you know once its shipped out from Apple's warehouse in States?
No apples warehouse is in China or at least at the moment with the phones. Phones go China->Alaska->Louisville->package carrier facility-> out
Actually, with the way they handled this preorder I wouldn't be surprised if accepting the new date made us jump to the front of the queue...
Got my JB 7+ 256GB last week. I originally ordered the Spigen air cushion case on Amazon with a clear back. I was concerned about getting debris under the case and scratching the phone, so I ordered a glossy skin to go on the back from best skins ever. It was easy to apply, but once I put the case on, it started sticking to the glossy skin on the back. I ordered the matte skin from best skins ever last week and it came in Saturday. I took the glossy one off and put the matte skin on the back of the phone and now the clear part of the case doesn't stick to it. The matte and glossy are totally different textures.
Right, I know that but how do you know the batch that went out from Apple China's warehouse is inclusive of yours... Just curious...
Because they were sent an email with a tracking code
You're very welcome.Aw thank you!! This is why I come here every year! My shipping info got pushed from 3pm Tuesday to 8pm but hopefully it'll still be here by 3
Mine said the same, but our FedEx guys always comes mid-morning, no matter what.
Interesting... I thought they only notify when orders are shipped out from warehouse in States. Thanks for the info!
You would be surprised. They do purposely obsolete devices all the time. It just isn't done via hardware. iOS/MacOS releases regularly drop support for older models. I believe it was about a 4 - 5 year range supported last I checked.I don't think apple builds to purposely obselete. It's hard to build anything to last over 3 years when it is on constantly the entire time, environmental changes,drops, battery cycling and the works. If they did plan the 4s to last 5 years it would of cost me about 60 dollars a year at that point so... not to shabby
Engineering grad student btw
Not true. The latest iOS devices to be dropped are dropped due to not having a 64-bit processor, needed for more complicated tasks. The earliest 64bit device is the 5S, i believe.
This is true but it's for good housekeeping with code and known hardware in the devices. It's not malice like where a company makes a year one device and then dead... kinda like the original Apple TV which I think is their one big example. Where as some phones on android lose support after a year. My MBP made it 8 years with software support before this year... that's a long time for a well used laptop.
Exactly. Dropped due to not supporting current features in the OS or just because they are not powerful enough any more to support the OS. When a new version comes out yearly, they can very easily plan when to phase out older phones. It works fine for me from a development standpoint because then I can drop support for those devices too.
Yeah, I don't mind it usually..... except when it forces me to get a new MBP because xcode requires a MacOS version my current one can't support any more.
