Had mine ordered through apple and it was still back ordered. Canceled it Wednesday and ordered it from best buy on Wednesday and it shipped Thursday. Woot. IPhone 7 plus matte black 256gb.
 
lol reminds me of the ipad 3. Sold out at all apple stores, but walk into best buy and they had it.
 
Saturday is not a standard delivery day with FedEx Standard Overnight. Saturday is standard delivery with FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx Priority Overnight.

AT&T shipped my iPhone via FedEx Standard Overnight. If I surprisingly should receive it on Saturday, I will let you know.
What state are you in? I'm in Illinois.
 
Wow! I just checked istocknow.com and there is a crap-load of the Jet Blacks in various apple stores across the USA!!! Why does my pre-order still say "ships in 5 weeks!!!!!???" WTF Apple

I was able to reserve a JB iPhone 7+ at Lynnwood, WA via Apple's reservation system. So we'll see how that goes if they'll let me change it to At&t Next, if not I'll just do IUP or Full price.

My current ETA shipping dates for my At&t order is still for 11/11-11/18 which I might cancel as soon as I pick up mine from Apple.

I would suggest checking istocknow that's how I was able to find one. Good luck everyone!

Thinking of doing the exact same thing! Seems like it's a no brainer to buy one at the Apple Store if they're available. Thinking of ordering one at my local store and leaving work early to pick it up. They even have a AT&T next option so seems like a win/win
 
Heads up: I only went backorder via the 866 number. The text message never worked for me. The webpage still says preparing to ship, and I never received notification I went backorder. Hoping for a not-so-long wait period til shipping!

I never received notification from ATT either. I did from my UPS app and I also received a charge on my cc the day it shipped. Phones are in Kentucky and due in Georgia by Monday!!!

I just got tracking from ATT for my MB 128gb plus, I ordered the same day as you and almost the same time. You should be getting that email very soon.

If you want to use ATT next cancel atleast an hour before you pickup your new Iphone. Ive had friends in town have that kind of issue when they show to reservations and there time would lapse scrambling so they got turned away. For what its worth

I haven't yet. I ordered mine around 11:30 a.m. EST that day.

Anyone know if they send updates or ship on the weekends? Hoping we don't have to wait until Monday for them to start shipping again.

how did you get notified by the ups app did you have tracking?
I'm registered with myups/upsmychoice and whenever a shipment is tagged with my address I get text notifications and shipping updates. I can even choose to have my parcel delivered to the nearest UPS store if it needs signature and I'm not home.

[doublepost=1476486315][/doublepost]Has anyone else's phone that went into backorder shipped today?
 
The items in your order are currently on back order, and we will notify you by email as soon as these items ship.
To check progress, please visit https://www.att.com/checkmyorder/omhub.rt at anytime.
We apologize for the delay.

Hope this means my 128gb JB+ is going to ship even sooner than the revised 11/4 date. Ordered 9/16 ~9AM.

Hope so, seeing as stores have stock now.

What a turn of events! The phone I ordered last night now has a tracking number (JB 7+ 128). The phone I ordered on 9/30 still says preparing for shipment with expected dates in November. For some of you that are stuck, try reordering if you added a new line. The expected shipping dates on JB 128 7P currently are 10/17-10/19
 
Just an FYI update. Ordered (2) 7+ 128 gb MB on 9-21-16 at 8:00 PM. Expected delivery date 11-4. No movement as of today. Called the 866 number they had nothing new to share.
