I was told yesterday by sprint, they are shipping them as they get them. So if you ordered an iPhone 7 plus in Gold, and The person who ordered after you, ordered a silver plus, and they get the silvers but not the gold. Then people who ordered the silver after you. whether it be days or weeks. Will get their phone first.
So it seems like they are only getting certain colors at a time right now.


Also , They said they would not cancel preorders that are out til November (even past the 30 days back order rule). You would have to specifically ask your order to be canceled.

Come monday, Apple will have new phones (7s) in their stores & maybe AT&T..

Sprint is stupid. My mom paid the full balance on my sisters 6s plus so that she could keep it, and used her upgrade and they still sent a return kit with it.

That's what I said.

Your order number matters, but only relative to those who ordered the same product you did.
 
Couldn't activate new iPhone online so I called it in. They try selling me Total Equipment protection I say No. I look at my account today and I see they added TEP to my account for $13.

I realize that this thread doesn't affect my preorder at all but I keep checking it for some reason...
P.S. Just got a case for my clear JB 7 Plus in the mail, but no phone... ;(

I realize that , I was clarifying for people who might not understand lol

Gotcha, do you think that could be my phone then? Kinda doubt it since it's the JB plus
Nope! Unfortunately . Maybe if it was another color, but according to the letters we read at work before our shift, JB will take a whiiiile

Yes, sorry. In that respect the order #s do matter. What I meant was in relation to what date was attached to the order initially.

Apologize for not being clearer.

Here's my (kind of) DIY iPhone 7 leather case. Didn't feel like spending $40 for a new Apple leather case, so I just took a dremel and exacto to my 6s one to make the camera fit. Then took a lighter to the edges to burn off the frills and give it a cleaner look. All buttons line up perfectly, and I get to keep that "used" look that I have acquired after months of use.

It's not perfect, but looks good enough for me. I even kind of like the rougher look more. I'm a firm believer in "mending, not ending!"

Awesome. Looks huge on my monitor. Is it for a plus?
 
Part of me wants to have a little hope that when I wake up I'll have tracking info for Monday but then I feel I have better chances of winning the lotto lol

I hit the jackpot for 6K a couple weeks ago at the casino, and unfortunately after paying up my bills for a couple of months. I spent the rest at work and now.... here I am, waiting for an Apple product. The irony.

Damn you got that juice lol I always end up losing when I hit the casino. Well at least hopefully it will be worth the wait...


With the amount of planes arriving in the next 12hrs we'd better get some sort of update.
I'm hoping so, with all those planes coming I just hope all our phones are on there because we will just keep making sprints life hell lol

I've been lurking this thread for a week or more, and since you guys have been a great source of information, I thought I should finally say hello. I'm also waiting for a MB 128GB 7+...ordered at 4:25am Eastern on 9/9, and like so many of you, have the standard "will ship by 9/30" message on the order status page. The wait is always difficult, but this thread has been nice to read and has offered a sense of community.

My GF, who actually works at an Apple Store, was bold enough to order the same configuration but in JB color. I only point out her occupation because it's going to be awesome when and if I get mine before her. :)

Hopefully those planes have a bunch of black phones on them!

Man, same boat. A good friend of mine got her 256GB MB 7 yesterday and I'm over here with all the 7+ people refreshing my email 1,000 times a day. It's excruciating.
