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

I suspect the Rose Gold is not as popular as the black.

you might wanna check your fact there lad....

AS of today: Rose gold 128gb has your item will ship between Nov 2, 2016 - Nov 9, 2016.
black 128gb has your item will ship between Oct 19, 2016 - Oct 26, 2016.

When the preorders open. Rose gold had delivery of 9/16 while blacks had 9/23 to 9/30 to begin with(apple holding back the stock and didnt gave att) . I suspect we would see black movement tonight or tomorrow. Because we have @timerollson but he has not showen an real proof of it being 128gb shipped.

I bet all the 7+'s will be getting notifications tonight or even early morning. I honestly thought the people who stayed up all night to pre-order the phone on 9/9 would be getting theirs first etc, but it ended up being people who ordered theirs like 2 days later who will be getting theirs first. I'm not mad just a bit surprised and disappointed.

Yep -- it really does look like there's no rhyme or reason to the order they're shipping out the phones. I've seen people with the exact same configuration as mine shipping out when they ordered it hours or even a day later. I ordered at 3:03 ET. Next time, I think I'll just sleep in! :)
 
For anyone worried about these things...my tracking info does not show a reference number, it does not show weight and does not say it needs a signature.

128gb RG iPhone

Ordered 9/9 2:44AM Central time, 7+ Black (not sure which black....AT&T only had one black option for me to choose from), 256GB. Ship estimate was (and still is) September 23-30. I'm not expecting it here Friday, but if it is, I'll be thrilled. No shipping updates on Fed Ex.

Here's what I know:

My charge disappeared. I'm knowledgable about merchant processing. They put a hold on your account at the time of purchase for a set number of days (your bank or card issuer has different parameters so the number of days the hold is in place will be different based on how you paid). If the item does't ship prior to the expiration date on the hold, the hold will fall off. The card will be actually charged just prior to shipping. For some, that'll be this week. For others, October. Having your charge drop off doesn't mean your order was cancelled or that your order is shipping. It just means your bank set the hold to expire today. Look for the AT&T real charge. THAT means something.

Good update.

A couple of things:

- Not sure why you only showed one black color for 256GB, as that's a storage level available for all colors
- For those of us on an installment plan, we are charged initially for tax on the device; there was no other pending charge (unless one puts in an optional additional down payment)

Otherwise, my wife and I are in the same shipping time frame boat as you. Based on how preorders went two years ago, I'd reckon the 9/23 - 9/30 time framers are in the "second wave" of shipments.

We'll see.

Not necessarily true.....I ordered mine at 1 PM on the 9th and am sitting on "Preparing to Ship" like everyone else. It seems to be the people who ordered anything but + in either black that are getting their confirmations.

I'm pretty much resigned to the fact I won't be getting mine Friday. It will probably be some time next week which is fine and still days before my Sept. 23-30 shipping window.

I've seen tons of people with the same phone already get shipping notification and have ordered after me. No rhyme or reason as to how they are doing this.
 
Hey guys.. I went back through all my emails and i have bought 5 iphones and 4 other devices from ATT in the last 4 years. In every Iphone purchase I always opted for the biggest gb they had at the time just like I'm awaiting a 256gb rose gold plus model myself right now that has a 9/23-9/30 shipping estimation. In the past these phones always came ahead of the shipping estimate via overnight shipping, and I would receive my Fedex tracking number the day before it arrived between noon and 5pm. I think the bigger, more expensive phones are processed and shipped last overnight to avoid higher incidents of loss. The reason you wouldn't have a tracking number right now is because they simply don't have to when its going to be shipping overnight. A shipping label may not have been created at this point either when it is shipped so quickly but that doesn't mean it isn't sitting there safely in an undisclosed location waiting to catch it's fedex bus overnight to your house sometime tomorrow. Honestly if it can't come before the 16th anyway I feel its much safer with ATT than sitting around fedex docks with the tons of other phones that are heading out soon. So based on my history I would imagine that i'll get a tracking number tomorrow afternoon and see my phone Friday. If they get backed up I would imagine the latest will be Monday but I definitely see it getting here before the shipping window they set. So ... we shall see... hope this info helps ease somebody's obsessing ;) Waiting makes things seem just a little bit more exciting and special, it's marketing Genius. They don't have to introduce a preorder... they could just keynote it up and have it available the next day in the stores but what the hell kind of buzz would that generate... the frenzy is part of the allure.

This gets me mad a bit, seeing some who ordered later in the day or the next day get their's shipped already, while the ones who ordered early in the morning when pre-orders opened haven't seen movement like myself. Disappointed for sure also, wish ATT would ship them, or give us an update.

2 rose gold 7 plus 128gb shipped (Including a one that said backorder)
2 matte black 7 plus 128gb MIA (9/23 to 9/30)
 
Any one else order the iPhone 7 Plus 128GB in regular Gold? I ordered 09/09/2016 at 2:54:20 a.m. ET with expecting ship dates of September 23, 2016 - September 30, 2016.

My girlfriend order was placed about 15min after mine for a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus in Rose Gold which shipped out today. Her phone showed as backordered last night but she received a shipping notification this morning. Her charges also dropped of from CapOne today.

Very true, I ordered a 6S+ 128gb last September 30th, got the estimate of into November, they processed it, and shipped it out on October 1st, got it October 2nd overnighted via FedEx, didn't get "Your Items are on the way" Email till October 1st, so there is definitely hope.
