Just added the country to my order of iPhone 7 plus 128gb Matt black and delivery has also changed from 27th to Delivers: 20 Sep - 22 Sep by Standard Shipping
Confirmation of order was 8:09
Anyone think this is actually the date will get it or some sort of bug on their site?

Reservations site is closed. They offered no solution for UK customers affected by the IUP issues. 🙁

That means I'm not getting one this weekend then. 🙁

There were no issues from the IUP I in the UK as it only started last week?!
The US issues are down to people looking to upgrade and not having the choice of stock to do so
Those of us who want to join the program clearly missed out on getting an iPhone on launch day purely because of the way we were choosing to pay for the phone.

I suspect you should always have had that earlier date and you updating something forces the date you see to refresh...
I'm just speculating though.

You got lucky then. You're not the majority. Depends what configuration you wanted too. My girlfriend has a launch day reservation but that's because she got a rose gold 7 which has been in stock most places all week. Anyone wanting a black Plus was pretty much screwed.
My iphone is still showing as "Preparing for Dispatch" even though it is due tomorrow. Still showing delivery date for tomorrow. Anyone else is in the same boat, or has everyone's been dispatched?

Just updated my County on my order snd my Black iPhone 7 Plus moved from the 27th-29th to the 20th-22nd, which is ideal for me, as those are both weirdly my days off next week. Starting to think the 27th-29th was just insurance for Apple incase they couldn't fulfil orders in time, very happy it'll be here next week instead
But then again, my phone is still in "Processing Items". Fingers crossed it makes some movement today or over the weekend

There aren't enough black phones ready for launch day this year. I do agree that reservation system has been a bit confusing as it seems that you can make a reservation under the UGP and then pay up front in the store although this wasn't made clear.
However there just aren't enough black phones for launch regardless of whether you choose the upgrade programme, in store pick up or home delivery.

Yep I just tried it and it worked for me too. I didn't even change anything. I just hit the update button and "POW", my deleviery date changed to 20-22 Sept
Happy dispatch day home-delivery folks!
Based on previous dispatch cycles, those of you who are getting a UKMail dispatch should get a dispatch notification later this morning or this afternoon, and those of you who are getting it via UPS should hear later this afternoon or this evening, and if they use a different courier, who knows when it'll come today - but it will! 🙂
The reservation system is offline now too (since midnight) - it'll be back on at 6am on Saturday.

Just noticed a guy on ebay promising a 7+ 32GB in Jb for launch day. I would say that particular capacity in Jb will be in very short supply
I assume all the date bumps from changing the address info are for the black models and not jet black and definitely not the 7+ JB?
Tbh a change of date has probably just caused a refresh of the order... And those orders would likely have been pulled in eventually... Maybe

I got a dispatch email for my case Tuesday at 9.03am which came yesterday so expect something to happen this morning, if it says delivers 16th don't panic you will get it tomorrow!
Which is all down to a limited inventory. Wait till next year when all on the IUP try getting the fabled 10th anniversary phone.. Will be chaos

I'm pretty certain that if Apple says you have them reserved then you'll get them. Would be quite the balls up from them.
To be fair, Apple did mess up the reservation link on their website. It took about 30 minutes for the link to start working on the iPP pages (if you clicked directly from the store it worked)
There's a chance people were unable to reserve during that time and missed the phone they wanted.

So with the date bumps 20-22nd and 6 to 8 business days, our phones should start shipping between Monday and Wednesday next week?
