So frustrating that we had the earliest delivery date and had to watch as others received their phones earlier than we did
Got a tip for us?

Another night of UPS plane deliveries, another disappointing morning for us 256 MB'ers who STILL don't have tracking numbers
For real. My daughter is four months old today and she really had her hopes up for the 256 + mb arriving by today
The chances I let my baby touch my $900 phone are zero you're brave
Order# 803461 & I ordered the same phone as you way before you & still nothing. Thats crazy
First time poster here, but I've been following since the beginning.
My wife and I ordered a 128 gb matte black plus and a 128gb rose gold plus and haven't heard anything yet. Just have the generic 30th ship date.
hopefully I hear something soon
I read it take a few days for spotlight to create a database of all of your media and that's why for now, the battery goes faster.
I'm seriously tired of waiting. This has gotten out of hand. People who ordered with Apple on 9/16 have recieved their phones, let alone being able to immediately purchase through IUP. I stopped in my local Apple Store yesterday and could not get an iPhone there because I'm on sprint forever so I'm literally stuck waiting for however long this is going to take.
This applies to the iPhone 7 as well. It's well known and it works itself out.

Wow. I can't believe it. I actually cancelled my order again.
This time not because of the long delays but rather I want to re-order a different color with a different payment method. It will end up being much better for me at the end of the 17-18 months than it would have been otherwise but I got a $300 windfall I didn't expect yesterday so..... It's worth it to me to go about it this way.
And those of you with children, spouses or other family members with medical issues - I need to pop into this thread more often because it puts my irrational desires for the latest and greatest phones into perspective. Hopefully things go better for you and your families soon. I often ride my bike wearing a "Team Collin" jersey which is a small team in memory of a little boy named Collin who passed away after a long battle with cancer. I hope some of these new magic bullet cures come to light soon.

New to the thread but I've been reading it for about 5 or so days. I'm also waiting for my 7+ 256GB MB. Received confirmation of my order at 0421 on 9/9.
I'm a pretty patient gal but lately it's wearing super thin

I was just thinking my iPhone 7's battery isn't that great either, only thing I've noticed that I absolutely love is the storage, I've never had so many apps on a phone and it shows I'm only using 9GB WTH!! I could NEVER even think about downloading this many on my 16GB phones!!

Waiting on delivery. Left a note on my door telling the UPS guy to leave the package if I'm not home since I have to work today.
TOP TIP: Don't bother with that UPS MyChoice Premium thing. It doesn't allow you to do anything but redirect the delivery to a neighbor's house. I called customer service and they said a note on the door is fine.
For people who get tracking today, this is how it should go-- a label is created once it leaves China/Korea, it appears. It flies to Louisville, and gets scanned there first, and once it departs THERE, it switches to In Transit. My label was created at 10:00AM yesterday, but didn't show as Shipped until 4:00AM, when it departed Louisville.
So the planes you're tracking on FlightAware are not your phones unless you ALREADY have a tracking number. Turns out I've been watching other people's phones for a week!!!

Yup... This is getting to be stupid. Almost a week after launch and these knuckle heads still can't fulfill orders that were place within the first hour of the 7/7+. Wtf was the point of them selling something that doesn't exist unless you're a you tuber that managed to get it on Monday or some shmuck that wears a ton of mall jewelry and overpriced cologne and is able to buy it from abbo behind the mall and drop 1500 on phone that cost almost twice as much. I'm done...I'm effing done lol and sorry but my spelling and ranting might be off but at this point I give no effs.

Did you order your phone directly through Apple?
I did a full back-up of my 6s on my Mac, then reset and powered down my 6s (running iOS 10.0.1). Then turned on my 7+ and restored from the 6s back up I did. After that I activated the phone with Sprint through the Live Chat. Everything was back on my phone (texts, call history, photos, music, etc.) without losing anything. My photos app had already ran through faces on my 6s, and spotlight was well established. All of this transferred over as well. I played with the camera for a bit, put the phone on the charger, and went to bed. I have been up and about with the phone since 7am this morning...battery is at 97%. That's with my normal calls, texts, streaming music, and show the phone off to coworkers who are thinking about getting one. I have Apple Car Play in my car, which, connects through lightening anyways...so listening to music while driving and getting a charge at the same time isn't a problem. Hopefully, keeping a charge with some longevity continues, but thought I would share.
