So...

For those of us that are getting our phones In the 20-22nd date range, that would've paid to be apples plan all along.

6 to 8 business days from last Friday would in fact be next Tuesday or Wednesday...

Beats me why Apple didn't just make it two weeks before la
It seems like a lot of the 20-22 September batch of the matte black 7 plus configurations are on the way now.

Has anybody in the 20-22 September had dispatch notice for the 256gb matte black 7 heard anything? Speak up! :D

YES, my matte black 256 7 plus is preparing for shipment for delivery between 20-22 September :D

7+ black 128gb

Originally 28-29, then 21-22, now preparing for shipment.

Wonder how long till its shipped.
 
Hope mine changes to dispatched like you guys mine just says processing 21st - 23rd (Rose Gold iPhone 7 32GB) I really hope It would arrive before Thursday as I'm out and I know contacting couriers for redelivery is a right pain in the ass!
 
Is everyone updating to iOS 10 before performing the last back up of their old phones? I seem to remember this makes the restore much smoother on the new one
 
Must say, is anyone updating their iPhone 7 and the back is getting hot?

I'm not playing with it but it is charging and I've just went back to it 20min later and it's still warm/hottish

Anyone else getting this?

Yes my iPhone ran hot earlier on briefly.

Has been alright since. Mind I'm pretty pi55ed ATM. Followed all of the steps to preserve my health/activity data from my Watch and it's stuck on the data captured at time of back up.

Might just restore the iPhone to factory status and start all over again.

I think the system is over-loaded as I keep getting error messages about being unable to "purchase" apps or restore the ad-free option from Speedtest.net

Yeah I feel like last years pre-orders were better because they had two weeks. I didn't pre-order mine last year until 2 hours after the site went live and I was able to get my 6S plus on launch day and there were still plenty of phones left then. This year I did get what I wanted on launch day but If I hadn't of been on the site as soon as it went live I wouldn't have got it.

I feel sure that the original launch dates pencilled in to be the 23rd, but as soon as they got wind of Samsung's problems with the Note 7 they decided to capitalise on it and brought the launch forward to the 16th.

On the ups tracking page, what was the date the order was processed?
 
Any one seeing movement on 7+ JB 128GB with 4 - 10 Oct delivery slot? Getting depressed now seeing all these others move

I'm on my second go at restoring as I kept getting error messages about iTunes not being available and I think the app downloads stalled. I do think that the servers are overloaded but damn it I want my phone set up. I don't like shuffling about between two phones.
 
Plus 128 Black just moved to Preparing for Dispatch. Originally given Oct then moved to 20/22
 
so now on hold with the Halifax!!

Apple have changed my payment but he did say it most likely won't be taken until next tuesday now. :(

will be gutted if I have to wait even longer
Are you with Halifax debit card or credit card?
I pre-ordered 128GB Rose gold with my Halifax credit card but it's processing orders...
 
Got 7+ 32GB (Matte Black) ordered and dispatch is between 10th and 14th October. Don't know if its worth cancelling it and trying my luck tomorrow morning at 6:00
 
The camera is definitely better on the 7 plus than the 6S plus. i've taken a few pics of my son indoors and the pics are significantly better.
