Carrier iPhone 7/7+ AT&T Pre-Order Thread

unibility said:
Really? The three closet Apple Store does not have the iPhone 7 "Jet Black" 256 GB in stock and the wait time for both Apple and Apple online is 3-5 week wait. Though at BestBuy the had them in stock but unavailable at Apple/.com.

You must be referring to 7Plus that are still in short supply. In my ATT Stores and Best Buys and Apple Store in Philly area iPhone 7 JB's are available. In stock. In short supply for sure - but no more than a 1 week turnaround. The 3-5 week waits are for 7Plus MatteBlack and Jet Black. At least in my area.

If you go online to Apple right now.. And plug in an iPhone 7 JB it says ships in 1-2 weeks.
 
I ordered my iPhone 7 plus MB 32GB on 9/21 and its expected ship date is between 10/12-10/19, but recently i realized that 32GB is most likely not going to be enough for 2 years. When i ordered my Phone i made sure i could take advantage of the iphone 6 trade in deal, but if i were to switch to a 128GB model, would i lose my eligibility for the $650 credit? I dont mind waiting more if it means i can still get the credit and a larger storage capacity for my phone. If it is not possible for this to work, how is the storage on your 32GB models so far?

i believe a couple others said that they lost there credit by doing this.
however i bought a 32g because with all the cloud storage out there its a no brainer. i have 100gig storage with google which is 2 bucks a month. plus a have a couple 2 tb hard drives which i put my pics on that every few months when my cloud storage gets high.(by high i mean half lol)

Gotcha, just today i downloaded google pictures which gives you tons of storage for pictures which is helpful, but yeah that sucks, i was hoping that this wouldnt be my iphone 6 all over again which gives me a "storage almost full" notification twice a day.
 
One plane coming from China today to Alaska and then continues to Kentucky early tomorrow morning hopefully wake up to something !!!

It's funny that we are tracking flights to see what's coming in, and hoping our phones might be on those flights. Sometimes I miss the good old days when a phone was just a phone and I didn't feel the need to have the lastest and greatest.

Yeah.. It's a bit obsessive. Lol..
 
I can remember a time when I use to forget my phone and not give it a second thought. Now days I immediately get separation anxiety and have to turn around and go back for it.

Finally!

7+128 Silver
Ordered: 9/18 Online
Backorder: N/A
Shipped: 10/16 for 10/18 delivery. FedEx Overnight from Ft Worth


Has anyone else had their phone ship overnight on a Sunday? I'm wondering if it might change to delivery tomorrow instead of Tuesday once it gets moving.

Oh yeah! Agreed.. I'm not excluding myself from the "obsessive group". I work 35 minutes from my job. On two occasions in last couple of years I forgot my phone - both times I drove all the way home on lunch break to get it.

No such thing as a day without our phones. More aptly put without our "mini computers" and connection to the whole social media world. It's not really "a phone" anymore. It's a connection to the world. We can't be without "the world" for even a day.

It's all understandable. Some people go too far and say we are "addicted". I don't think it's addiction any more than a 1950s audience would be considered addicted to their television. Their televisions were their window on the world. Our phones today are that.

Now people who sit in the same room with each other and text each other or text and check social media during their dinners out together… You people are addicted…

Nice ! Where were you checking your status via 6737?
 
I received an email from ATT that went to my junk folder. It is titled "Information about your AT&T plan." I opened it this morning and it shows my phone listed as the 128GB iPhone 7+ in MB that I am still waiting on and also shows the first installment. Didn't figured they would do that until I had the actual phone....was hoping that email meant it shipped or something but doesn't say anything about shipping the phone.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, exactly. You could see Back Order status on *6737# now or sometime today and a shipping notification will follow shortly afterward. Seems like same track as me. Exact phone is being delivered today. Ordered 9/16.

Nope. 6737 didn't work for me. I used this: https://www.att.com/order_status/order_status.jsp

I got that email Saturday and my phone showed as shipped Sunday. You should be soon.
 
Still waiting on a 128 7+ MB ordered 9/23. Was really hoping it would show up this week, but I should probably expect it next week. 🙁

Right there with you bud. I'd be surprised if we see movement this week; next week is more likely but crossing my fingers!
