Looks like they updated the page also, I don't think i've seen this before
If you placed your order in a store, you will not be able to track it here unless your confirmation number begins with or-pdpm. The store will call you when your order is ready to pick up.
Anybody waiting for a jet black or plus are the only ones waiting. Regular 7 are pretty much being stocked
yeah considering switching boats here, im sure they will have little clip on 2X lenses soon enough
If you were to purchase the unlocked device, you would be able to use it, yes. But I recommend buying from Apple. Aside from the obvious stock issues, they'd also give you a fully unlocked device. Sprint would manage to bungle that up.

Does anyone like to sell Ip 6 6s for upgrade to 7 ?
No.
[doublepost=1474653405][/doublepost]Woah, hold on............ did the shipping times go up from yesterday's posted times on sprint.com/ship for the Plus??!
You will pay Taxes and your first installment payment up front today. I think when I checked it out on a 7 Plus 128GB model, it was like $128 due today which included taxes and first installment payment. Then take it to sprint and activate it on your account. They can activate it on your sprint account at the Apple store if you already have a sprint account.
I think Sprint is saying our phones will be delayed on purpose so that when we do get it by the "ship by" date we'll be relieved. It's hard for me to put it in words but I think everyone who ordered before 9/12 will get their phones by next Friday.
It's sort of a scare tactic when you think about it. With myself for example, with all these rumors of the phone being delayed until mid-october coming to fruition, I'll be more than happy if I get my phone on Friday. Once I settle down and play with the phone for a couple hours, I'll probably forget all about the past 3 weeks or so.
Also. if Sprint were able to update the site saying that all 128gb iPhones are available now, one would think if the 2 week delay rumors for the pluses are true, they'd update that also.....?
[doublepost=1474654462][/doublepost]Sorry guys, I'm just trying to remain as optimistic as I can.
[doublepost=1474654513][/doublepost]I probably don't believe a word that I'm saying.

My issue doing that is Apple will give at most $315 for a 6s+. Sprint will give $650 over 2 years
Sorry Sprint, but even more heartbreakingly, sorry Apple. I think I'm leaving you... and this time, it's you, not me.
Dear Apple,
You've been selling iPhones for how long??? You've had plenty of time in planning this year's iPhone launch. This happened somewhat with previous iPhone models as well. It's simply unacceptable.
What's even more insane is that all of those people who bought that phone, you know the one that has an exploding battery, from that one competitor of yours... well, the majority of them have already received their replacement device.
How the heck did you guys screw this up?
I just saw this online.

I doubt I'll receive my iPhone before then, so might be making the jump. Thanks for all these years. You've just changed way too much and you aren't the same anymore. It's been fun. Good luck and I hope you find the help you need. Take care Apple.

Dude, me too. Lol I get great LTE coverage and speed in my area. Total deal breaker.
Called Sprint this morning, which led to me cancelling my order. I'll take my chances at the Apple Store and try to buy there within the next couple of days. So, at about 4:15am Eastern on pre-order day, I was finally able to get onto the site and place an upgrade order for a MB 128 7+, and a JB 128 7+. I'd not received a single status update since the time of order, so I wanted to call and get an update, at least on the MB which has shown some movement for other people.
To my surprise, the Sprint rep advised that NEITHER the MB or JB would ship until mid-November. I thought that was kind of odd, because the Matte black phones seem to be getting shipped, and I had to have been one of the first orders. The Jet Black, which was initially quoted as 10/7, is now being shipped in mid-November. The worst part is, had I not called and checked, I'd have had no idea and would've been sitting here like an idiot refreshing my order status page multiple times a day. I was a bit hesitant to cancel, because that puts me at the end of the line should my backup plans not work out, but I like my chances of getting my devices before November elsewhere. The lack of communication is killer with these guys. In the end, they offered a $20 bill credit for inconvenience...after I had to ask for an hour with a rude 'financial department rep' and speak to a manager.
Sorry for the long-winded post, but for those of you who haven't seen any movement on your order page, it may be worth giving them a call and asking.

Oh my word, that sounds pretty awful. The fact that they charged you despite being told it was declined? So much of this would make me pretty upset. I have only had one issue with my bill with Sprint since I joined in 2011 and they promptly fixed that issue for me right on the spot. The only other issue was this iPhone 7 upgrade we did for my wife's line. We returned the old phone and yet, we were charged a non-return fee on our bill just because Sprint had not yet called my store to get the old phone processed. It should never have been charged to us and certainly not this fast but it was. Now they will credit it and finally get it fixed, but it seems for this release there have been so many issues galore. I don't blame you for not upgrading with Sprint again, I probably would have considered the exact same thing....
See what you can do for both,
Go with whatever is best for you. But if I'm not mistaken, Sprint will only give you a trade in credit if you get a phone with them on their leasing plans so you'll be held by the balls.
Yes... I believe we have all grown in wisdom with this process. Haha!
For real though, this has been awful.
Reserved a 32 + GB MB at my Apple Store today. Picked it up 10 minutes later. Now I have to cancel my preorder with Sprint. Good luck to everyone!
So here's my plan: Go pick up a 256GB Black iPhone and pay in full.
BUT keep my preordered Jet Black phone. When the Jet Black comes, return the Black phone or sell it on eBay, and keep the Jet Black model (or maybe sell it too).
I can either pick it up in Charlotte or Raleigh -- which do you think I should go with?
Also, since I'm buying a contract free phone from Apple, do you guys know whether I could switch to T-Mobile with that Sprint phone? It's compatible right?
I've got that uncapped unlimited data plan from Sprint, but T-Mobile has unlimited TABLET data which is incredible.

They had a 32g MB 7+ at my apple store here in Chicago. Nabbed it. Going to pay off my Sprint Iphone Forever plan and sell the phone to make up the money back.
I bought the phone from Apple with the Sprint SIM card in it, but since I'm getting off of iPhone forever, I am no longer under a contract. Can I take the "Sprint" Unlocked iPhone to verizon, have them swap the sim out, and start a new plan with them?

They couldn't tell us this like days ago? Smh

They filed bankruptcy, started around Sept 1st.
A cargo ship still being held by California. Multiple ships still off shore to avoid being seized world wide.
My wife woks for cargo claims, not a pretty sight lol. Lots of claims coming through and attorneys getting involved.
Wow. So there it is, huh? Apple had their **** held hostage because of an insolvent shipping company and had to pay ransom, essentially.
Yup. This should be posted on every carrier order status page as well as Apple's order page so people have some kind of answer.
