Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Sprint Pre-Order Thread

I've been a HTC and Samsung guy forever. First time trying an Apple Phone. Got convinced by Sprint since my 2 year upgrade eligilibilty was up that I could own the IPhone 7 for just $200 with a 2yr agreement. My wife has had an Iphone since forever and I really liked the + because it has two cameras so better picture quality. I pre-ordered mine at 9am on 9/9 a JB 128 and was told I'd received it before the 30th which I'm starting to doubt. My wife cleverly just went to Apple Store at the Galleria here in Houston and walked out with a MB 128+ for Sprint.Really frustrated that I have to wait all these time.
[doublepost=1474648871][/doublepost]Oh btw. I'm a FedEx Ground driver and I was surprised we started getting Iphones in our routes too. I thought it was all through UPS. lol
Dang I don't live far from the galleria I wish I would have just waited and got it in store vs ordering online. It's crazy that people who pre ordered have not gotten their devices but others can reserve online and pick up in store same day while the rest of us wait. Congrats to your wife though. Wish my plus Rose Gold 128 would get here already. My case and screen protector is already here ready to go.
Nope :-/ and I'm not waiting on any form of a black phoneI missed you guys
.I don't understand. Lady @ sprint told me October 12th-20th...
I ordered on the 11th..
I am in the same boat...waiting for the iPhone 128 gb rose gold & have the screen savers & case for mine. Maybe the will update with more shipping over the weekend.
So Thursday is my day off and I will give it until then ...... if no update of any kind then my word I will totally cancel cause apple is not worth anymore time frankly the 7 is not worth this hassle they might as well told me when I preordered on the 9th to go fu** myself I'm kinda leaning towards the note 7 now
I've given up hope on tracking info till Monday, on the plus side I just caught a strong ass Snorlax lol
What drag this whole deal has been.
But why am i still waking up in the middle of the night to check for a tracking number!? This is brutal.
I ordered 9/9 for a Rose Gold plus 128 and have had no movement on my order.
I guess it just depends on who's helping you because I got the email with the new wording. I just called before I went an asked. The rep told me that those phone are really reserved for the Apple upgrade, but it wouldn't be a problem for me to use my carriers finance option. Apple is so full of.....

When I made my reservation yesterday morning it wasn't any option. The site just picked the iup for me. I just called to make sure I could use carrier finance option & I was. So hopefully your able to do the same!
I was able to pay in full without using that workaround without any trouble. They have more stock available if you go through the upgrade program first, but I selected "Pay in Full" and they took my money.
If they tell me I can't have the phone tomorrow after taking a grand out of my account I'm going to flip my ****.
ok this dude is saying the hanjin ship is full of iphones.

if its true, if it is really full of iphones, then the dates were because of the freeze and hopefully now that theyre releasing the product we'll all get them sooner?
i just cant figure out how they know the ships have iphones. am i missing something?

now if you get the Note 7 make sure you keep it with one of those bomb deactivation robots about 10 to 12 feet ahead of you at all time. a safety thing...
Please post your outcome. I just reserved a MB 128GB 7P from my local Apple Store. Made my appointment for 7pm.
I would have to cancel my preorder and reverse my eligibility. Of course I don't want to cancel it if I'm not going to be able to do either the Sprint leasing or installments. Also do Apple do the 24 Month Installments as well or just the leasing?
I like to just pay the phone off over a certain amount of time. I always pay them off early.

I have 2 reservations this evening for my wife and me. I'm hoping if I cancel my preorder I will be able to convince them to let me purchase using the Sprint Lease program in store. If not... It may be so long apple and so long sprint.
As someone who's been reading and not posting much just wanted to update.

Woke up this morning to some tracking info.
