Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Sprint Pre-Order Thread

What sucks is that for 2 days people were getting tracking info like crazy. I wish I would have never went into the sprint store and played with the exact phone I ordered because it's awesome but not sure I am going to make the wait if the date shifts again (was 9/23 now 9/30)
So if no tracking Info by 9/29 going to have to do some thinking. Can't switch carriers til My wife's phone lease is up (March) unless I go to T-Mobile and get bought out. Sprint works ok where I live, Verizon is best, not sure on T-Mobile.
Ugh just ship my damn phone

I feel like Apple is doing this to Sprint on purpose because they have the iPhone forever plan and they want customers to use their IUP instead.
Yet the myorder landing page still show 9/23-9/30.
Proves one of two things.
1. Sprint is misrepresenting the dates on the landing page or
2. The reps have no idea when anything ships.
So business as usual.
If sprint has no intentions of delivering phones until mid October, then they need to change the "my order" page. There's a whole chart there that says otherwise. This is completely ridiculous
Yeah here's the chart for the 7+ 128 JB for those who pre ordered before 8AM should expect the early ones by 10/7. Anything after 8AM gets pushed back for weeks!!!
Hopefully they don't push the 10/7 farther for those of us who ordered before 8AM CT!!
Makes sense. People get pissed with Sprint cancel orders go through Apple. Next year the people that hung in there remember this years nightmare and go through Apple.
While I feel your pain, you aren't really missing much more than we are.
All we really have is the landing page dates, and those are contradicted by reps.
We are all in the same boat. Probably doesn't help though.
Those who plan on ordering from today-going on forward will get the JB 7+ 128 by Dec.? That's crazy!!!
Every Apple store around me has phones available for walkin. I don't know if their trying to force people into apple IUP or if this is true. Either way all a little bit scammy
Yep... That's how they got me 2 years ago with my "6". My lease is up yet I can either turn the phone and "upgrade" with another lease or buy the iPhone (which is what I did during the pre-order) or pay the $200 per phone to own it.
I'm not going to stress about the new phone until my original ship date of the 30th which has not changed since day one for me.

I personally believe the reps don't have a clue as to what's going on. Just my opinion.
That one is on Apple in my opinion. While I understand Sprint should do a better job of communicating to the customer base that is keeping them alive, Apple is the one who has royally screwed the "launch" in regards to the JB and pluses all together.
That said, if Sprint and T-Mobile have had something like a 500% increase in IPhone sales from last year, one would think that Apple would see that and try to ensure people received their phones.

Yes!
But I also think the reps have no idea what their talking about lol. Their just as lost as the customers
That can't be true for people who got conf emails shortly after preorders opened
HEY GUYS JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW I CANCELLED MY PREORDER FOR THE JET BLACK AND GOING TO PICK UP A MATTE BLACK 128G @ THE APPLE STORE NEAR ME TODAY. WILL SEND PICKS LATER, REALLY SUCKS THAT PEOPLE PREORDERED ON 9/9 AND HAVE NO UPDATE YET APPLE STORES HAVE THEM IN STOCK.
I just Tweeted the CEO and Sprint Care putting them on blast a little bit just because. We'll see if they even respond.
They should have done two separate launches the iphone 7 in September and the plus in October, then everyone would be cool. And at least the 7 devices get restocked on a weekly basis so that wouldn't be a big deal to those that were wanting that model and whatever color. I just want to yell at someone right now lol.
