Maybe this article can explain why there seems to be a shortage of iPhones. Apparently they keep shipping phones from china, anchorage and Japan before arriving in Kentucky. In some cases the phone left the country just to come back

I've seen that a lot of people have gotten their phones delivered from USPS and FedEx, not just UPS. I'd be cool with waking up tomorrow to see my phone in the hands of the mailman or FedEx guy. You know... cool with whatever. Just get me my f***ing phone.

Jeez that's was like my experience when I ordered my 6s Plus last year paid for overnight shipping it shipped from KY then went to Cali then to Hawaii back to Cali then to Nevada then back to KY finally then to Texas got 4 days later and sprint never credited back the fee for overnight
I was really upset when I found out my ip 7+32 mb was pushed back. But thinking on it I'm only paying $5 more on my data plan a month for the iPhone 7. turning in my iPhone 6 that was unlocked with sprint, which I had to go thru hell and back 6 times.for that much more a month I'll wait till Black Friday if I have to. Also was told that my $60 unlimited plan would be grandfathered in,but we'll see if that happens. Brings my total each month to about $80
And that my friend is why I ended my lease program and opted to purchase the iphone 7 over 24 month payments.
Sure, I get that I won't be able to upgrade to the big redesign next year but guess what? Once I "own" my phones I can actually gain resale value from someone like At&T or Verizon with a trade in if I decide to leave Sprint after 16 (would be 18 by that point) years.
Right now, my "6" isn't worth $hi¥ technically and I'm still having to pay "month to month" until my new 7 + finally ships.
This any lease program is total garbage in my personal opinion.
Paid around 243 down on iPhone 6 16gb $11.25 a month and after a year paid $200 purchase price. Had to pay full price in order to get the $50 unlimited plan at that time.
Does anyone else have that weird feeling like this is never actually going to happen? Like we'll just be in limbo like this forever... because that's where I'm currently at by this point.
Be nice if we got a free year of apple music and the wireless earbuds being that we probably wont get our jb's till those things drop in October. Not that i would use them cause i just use my wireless Astros but hey free is free lol.

You'd think if the pluses were being delayed, Sprint would have changed/taken off the dates on the order page.
Maybe there is still hope

If you ordered in store and don't have any sort of order number, it may not be a bad idea to contact the store to verify that your order was actually placed.
After ordering first thing on 9/9, we've called a few times to find out the status and were told earlier today late October. At that, I called Order Support (866.789.8292) to see if I could get an order number or any other sort of update. I was told that our account was accessed by the store but no order was placed.
Calling the store verified that Order Support was right, so we had to go in tonight and order our phones again, putting us at the end of the line (for now at least). This time, we were given an order number before we left, so we'll have a way to check the status over the next month while we're waiting.

Na man, we will get phones. I won't be mad until 10/7 when sprint said I should have my phone (JB+ 128g) if it hasn't shipped by then I'll be a little upset. Still on the 6+ and it's been slow for a while. I don't know why apple always pushes its hardware to be limits. Bogs down phones...
I was beyond pissed today. The lady that we ordered with, who also happens to be the store manager, is off until Saturday, so we couldn't talk to her today, but you can bet that I'll be calling her Saturday to find out what happened & see if she can expedite them somehow (aka give us the first phones that match the ones we want that come through the door at that store) or at least give us some sort of credit for making us wait an extra month or two.
iStockNow seems to be showing a fair bit of stock in the midwest and east coast... first time I've seen it like this. Oh holy god let this be a good sign...
That would certainly be nice. We've only been waiting 2 weeks (since the preorder) but it already feels like forever.
