I usually get in line around 8 pm Thursday and have never been more then the 3rd person in line so that's how I know I will get what I want
this year might be different. Ive seen on the news that people are lining up 5 days earlier for the iPhone 7....NOT 1 DAY.... 5 DAYS!
 
So I opened up the email and it was for a customer service summary and my three phones are now listed with my phone numbers. I would think that was normal since I preordered it but I just received it today. Again, my charge is still pending. Not yet taken off. Am not getting too excited maybe you guys got the same email days before? I'm trying to upload the picture.
 
Just got my shipping notice and FedEx tracking number on an iPhone 7 Silver 128GB. I didn't place my order until Monday afternoon so I'm pretty impressed, although since it's not the Plus, that's probably why. No word yet on the 7+ Black 32 GB order I placed yesterday for a different line on my account - just preparing to ship with expected ship dates of 10/11-10/18.
 
You'll probably get it Friday.. Mine was sep 26 to October 7th but I'm getting is Friday by 3pm 7p black
Can't cross compare variants like that. Even if the Black 7Plus 32gb had an estimated shipping date of November, but was being delivered on Friday isn't the same as getting a different combination early. Just because one variant is, doesn't mean the others are too. The 128gb Black 7Plus could have seen more demand or had less supply to begin with.

Yea they always say that and it's true but in bigger cities never been the case where I go so I'm pretty confident
 
Thank you for the information. Does that mean my phone is close to being shipped out?

The hold dropping off isn't really indicative, it just depends on your bank. Shipping seems to be all over the place but most experienced pre-orderers have said that in the past any phones ordered soon after pre-orders launched have arrived on release day, regardless of shipping estimates.
 
Yes this morning

Hell no lol, no way im waiting that long.. That damn phone better be able to feed me!!
This was in the downtown New York Apple Store so it makes sense thats people are lining up early its downtown. if you live in a smaller area then I'm sure youre fine going a day early or even earlier.

Account was created today so I have no reason to believe that. Anyway for those of us actually stuck with the 128gb Matte Black 7Pluses, let's hope we see movement soon.
