okay now I am getting a bit antsy here - ordered 7+ 32 MB order #803468xxxx - 9/9 early in the morning and others that ordered after me are getting tracking, while I sit here and continue to read this thread.

I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee
Maybe that has something to do with it
 
I'm only 8 hours from Louisville!! Hopefully I'll see some movement before Friday.. I ordered on the 10th around 4 so I doubt I'll get a tracking number today my order number is 80386xxxx

I ordered three 7's on 9/13 in store; one regular 7, two 7+ all 32gb. My wife got her 32 silver 7 on 9/16. I received a tracking number for one of the 32 7+ silver that it will deliver today. My 32 mb 7+ won't be delivered till Oct. My order number is: 80434XXXX

The worse part is that my whole household will have the 7's and I won't have mine for another month. Arrgh!

IT'S ALL HAPPENING!!!!!!!!1


See my order details in my signature. No UPS update yet but the tracking is here! If you're expecting a 7+ MB 32GB, today is probably your day. I'm thinking this means 256s HAVE to go out tomorrow for Friday delivery.

So let me get this straight ...both Verizon and Sprint models work with GSM and CDMA, correct? So if i purchase a Sprint iPhone and put my T-Mo sim in it it'll work flawlessly, right? Just made a reservation for tomorrow for a black iPhone 7+ *because I'm impatient and can't wait for my JB to arrive Oct4th-Oct10th and wouldn't make a difference since I'm using a case anyways* and i just want to make sure it'll work properly.

Don't know where you might be in KY, but I'm about 40 mins to Louisville. I say we go break the Sprint phones out of their apparent captivity.

Ha! I'm actually in Middle TN but grew up in KY... as you can tell, I'm a die hard UK fan as my picture of their terrible football team.

Anyway, I'm starting to believe the "30th" date is looking more and more realistic for my order.

[doublepost=1474465427][/doublepost]Still nothing. I'll be those jet black plus models won't ship heavy till next week. Be nice to get like gift card or a free year of apple music or something lol.

I'm still waiting for my JB 7+ but to be honest, I doubt Apple would provide such a thing when in reality, they haven't surpassed their estimated shipping dates. You call and complain and what would they say, Oh we are terribly sorry you haven't gotten your phone weeks or months sooner than we said you would. Here's a gift card. lol.

Only 200k orders between us. Now how many were 32 MB +'s?

The new iphone 7's are universal. They work on all carriers. When we activate them at Best Buy, we just grab one and pop in the appropriate sim card. I was told that after you pop the sim card in and activate the phone, then the phone is locked to that specific carrier. But I highly doubt that they're locked. I was going to pop my sister's att sim in my sprint iphone 7 this evening when I see her to confirm.

"Unlike the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, which worked on any network, GSM iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models designed for the AT&T and T-Mobile networks are not compatible with the CDMA networks of Verizon and Sprint. This is because Apple has used LTE chips from both Qualcomm and Intel in its devices. GSM devices with Intel chips are not equipped with CDMA functionality, whereas Qualcomm chips work on both GSM and CDMA networks."
