I really don't understand all the comments regarding ship dates. As I stated above, when I placed my order there was an icon. I clicked on it and it showed me all the aprox ship dates. All of the plus models had ship dates one to three weeks later. All the jet black models had ship dates in October. Having my phone Friday was important to me so I sought out the info before I placed my order. I didn't just assume that I would have my phone launch day. Sprint made it easy with the link right on the order page. I place my order at 4am PST on the 9th.
 
going to show a lot more its a topic before the phone dropped so imagine the amount of complaining and returns..... we will see but ya what happened to that dark blue color is the question ?!! lol legit that color wouldn't have lasted on shelved or sites from 3am to 3:01am

Right, and I'm telling you some of us didn't experience that. As I stated above, I recorded my purchase and just went back to confirm there was no mention of delayed shipments when I ordered.
 
Well one thing from my email, Sprint is wiping our bill for this month. I appreciate the offer on their part, although I was honest and told her I was still considering switching.

I am grateful, but would have preferred more transparency concerning this mess. As it stands now I am believing that 9/23 will indeed be the shipping window.

When I ordered, by the way, there was no indication about 7P delays, either on the product page or during checkout.

I would normally be pretty preoccupied with my iPhone 7+'s ship date, but I am getting sent an Oculus Rift in the mail this week so my disappointment with Sprint is being mitigated.

I'm still checking my shipping status a couple times a day, but I'm not constantly refreshing it or contacting Sprint is all.

I've been looking around att forum and a lot of pluses have not shipped nor any tracking numbers...


exactly I don't know why theres still discussion about this going on..... the iPhones will ship out this Saturday if not Monday posting about it here isn't going to have apple nor sprint send it faster ORRRR chatting live but again all in all



THE IPHONES WILL SHIP PATIENCE RUSH IT AND I BET YOU RUN INTO ERROR :( LOL
 
Again it's like how are other carriers able to get Pluses out on launch? And sprint can't? Looks bad.
Sprint was the last carrier to partner with Apple. Sprint is the #4 carrier. Also, Sprint has the most restrictive iPhone. So my guess is that Sprint is at the bottom of Apples priority list.

(But then again Sprint did pay those millions to Apple in order to get the iPhone. But that was years ago so who knows where the two companies stand.)

"I am sorry to hear of your frustration. I fully understand the desire to get these new phones in your hands as soon as possible. Unfortunately, some of the higher memory devices are in short supply in our shipments from Apple. We are working as hard as we can to get these devices in your hands. We will be back in contact"

The email I received from Corporate CS. This is why I am believing the 9/23 at the moment.

I'm done worrying about it. Will get here when it does.

At the moment sprint and tmobile have sold most iPhones in this release; agree they deffinitly are bottom of the list but I can assure you that apple deffinitly wont Bard them or send them last minute shipments meaning they wont get the last of inventory because now that apple sees difference I can bet they go up on the food chain.... att is falling slowly lol

I got a call from corporate and she told me exactly what sprint.com/myorder says. Ugh. Waste of time..

Same, except Apple Watch Series 1 with a jazzy red strap incoming.

Same here. He even said he "checked with the warehouse." So either that stupid effing order page has been perfectly accurate since last week, or they're reading from that same estimate page.

I find it weird how they told someone that the very first person to order a JB wouldn't receive one on launch day. I HIGHLY doubt that Sprint doesn't have at least a single JB model.
 
I'm a little late posting on this thread but I thought I'd still do it. I ordered a iP7 (not a +) 32GB Rose Gold 9/10 5:50 pm and just received my shipping email at 7:27 pm. I ordered very late and I'm shocked I'm still getting it on launch day. Yay!! It'll be a really nice to get home to my phone after my 10 hour shift on Friday.

I was even told to go to the website and that's where I will see the information she's given me.. so she didn't even try.. liars. lol I'm so sick of worrying about it. I got my order in quick. I want rose gold plus. It's not like I want anything new or whatever. lol I wish I could stop thinking about it but I can't... ugh.
 
I ordered hubby iphone on 9.9.2016 but not until around 3:30 am cst.
I ordered mine on 9.11.16 around 10:30 am cst due to it not giving me the option to send in my phone ( I wasn't going to pay $414.00 to keep it.

Mine says 9.30 if ordered before 9.13

Iphone 7+ silver 128GB for both.

When I ordered on 9.11 was told 2-3 weeks, but they waived all the fees for me. I've been with sprint 6 years.

I ordered the Iphone 6s last year, I remember vividly ordering it VERY VERY late (days upon days) and still got it on 9.26 ( My husband picked it up from the apartment, UPS just left it at the door) while I was dealing with our very very new baby in the hospital (less than 12 hrs old)
 
enjoy the weekend and wakeup Monday with a tracking # lol that's when they'll push the Plus orders I know it
 
anyone realize when you get the jet black iPhone actually in your hands for about 3-4 hours your minds going to change up I mean ya the fact apple changed up but yea all in all those finger prints are going to be everywhere ( for the OCD people ) lol.... but well see on launch day in my eyes jet black with the high of gloss to it just brings back 3G days.........

And? Let the people want what they want. Don't want one yourself? Don't buy one. Don't agree with someone else buying it? Don't worry about it. It's not your problem.
