took me about 90 minutes to get past the broken servers to get my order placed on the 9th. my order number is attached "oy-mhso-803454***" I should have gotten this order on the 16th in that I ordered so soon and should not be lumped in with people that ordered 4 days later. very unfair!

We understand your frustration. However, because of the iPhone 7 being of high demand. Some devices are placed on a back order, which means it would be shipped at a later date. Because of UPS being unable to carry out call orders at the time given. @@

My Twitter fun this afternoon! :)
 
I'm still waiting on a Rose Gold 7 plus ordered at 11pm 9/9 given by 9/30 delivery. Starting to believe I won't get it til then. My order number is 803772xxx

I ordered the same phone a day later. Also still waiting. Was in my local store yesterday and they said I could call Friday to see if they got any 7+s in their shipment but they weren't exactly optimistic. I'm resigned to waiting until I'm back in the country before I get my new toy.

AHA!!! See?! I had theorized a few days ago that Apple will rename the product to Apple Phone for the 10th anniversary. They can't call it the 8... that would totally throw off their naming line. If they skip to 10, they'll look like they're copying Microsoft and it will look like they don't know what they're doing.

At the very least, they'll just call it "iPhone"... remember when they did that with the iPad? And look at Apple Music, Apple Watch, Messages... there are more, I just can't remember them. They are moving away from "i", and I, for one, would be pumped to see it become Apple Phone.

You remember OS X.... maybe Apple iPhone X.... or Apple Phone X

Funny we can't play with our phones so we kill time figuring out what next year's model will be called. Ugh sprint and Apple are killing me slowly...

They very publicly killed off OSX. They have been changing a lot over the past 5 years, and it seems like they're going for a cleaner, simpler, more obvious naming scheme. MacBook came back. watchOS, macOS, iOS... Apple Music is slowly taking over iTunes.

I feel your pain I started attempting on my computer right at launch. After about an hour and 15 minutes of the upgrade screen malfunctioning I had pretty much given up and laid back down in bed and tried one more time on my phone and was able to get through.. 4:29am .. so about the same as you. Honestly I thought it would be here the 16th I'm happy they finally shipped but the situation was a nightmare from the beginning I hope everyone else's ships soon ..

I think they are all waiting until all phones on the order are ready to ship if you have multiple under the same order number. I saw numerous 7+ MB 128g ship yesterday that ordered after me. I did not see any of the Gold 7+ 128g ship yesterday though. I received my shipping email today around 2pm est. for both phones and Rtn kit

My order went through @ 4:29am est order # oy-mhso-803452XXX

This order was placed in-store early am on the 9th.
The 128GB Rose Gold + & iPad Pro arrived in-store last Friday.
The 128 Black arrived at store today, and was changed by the store manager at some point in the past 10 days from a JB without my consent or approval.

I place mine online so I'm not sure if it is different or not. I just find it more then a coincidence that people who ordered after me and were receiving the same phone shipped out earlier then me. However i did not see any of the regular golds ship yesterday. Then i got a notice today both shipped out today.
[doublepost=1474418706][/doublepost]Also the word out there is that the Jet Black looks amazing but scratches really easily .. that is the main reason i went with MB .. i would at least take a look at it .. maybe its a blessing in disguise.

Out of curiosity how do you do that lol? It says 6S on the box
Yes and has 6s on the back of the phone. Press down message icon on the screen and you should see hidden options appear

Did anyone order late in the day 9/9? I ordered 128gb matte plus around 7pm still waiting for tracking.
I ordered around 7pm on 9/9 Silver 32GB 7+ No shipment info as of yet.
 
Still showing a ship by date on 32gb MB + for the 30th

Ordered on the 9th at like 2pm in store.

Weird how the 128s are the only thing getting solid movement
 
My order status page still says the same thing, that if I ordered before 3pm on 9/16 then it will deliver 9/23-9/30. But the chart on the page to check the status of your order says if I ordered before 3pm on 9/13 then it will deliver then, if you ordered 9/13-9/17 then it will deliver 10/10-10/24. I order 9/15. Now I don't know when I might get my order. And I have to go without a phone altogether till it gets here which is bad because my job is on call so I need a phone for work.

Ordered 32gb silver iPhone plus

This is the email I got today after inquiring about my order:

I understand this is not the news you were hoping for. Some people who placed their order on 9/9/16 are getting the phone now and some will receive them 9/30/16. Your order was placed on 9/10/16 which will be coming out of the second batch we receive.

There are a lot of heavy airplanes currently over North America, going from Anchorage to Louisville. I swear to god... at this point, if my phone isn't on one of those planes, self-immolation is starting to sound like a really fun thing to do.

It's so ridiculous there have been TONS of planes that have come and gone and there are STILL no Jet Black pluses???
There was ONE Jet Black 7.

Did you see the picture that the guy from BGR posted of his jet black iPhone? It is the most smudged up thing I think I have ever seen

Edit: Adding picture
