preparing for shipment a whole week before?
that's like T-Mobile (or any other carrier) saying order is processing
 
How do you even check for UPS reference? And what number from my Apple order do I input in there to see if there's anything?
 
That's great that some are moving up already! I was originally Sept 26th thru Oct 3rd window when I started my order, but as I had to enter all my info on my phone (the app store came up before it did on my computer), it took too long and it slipped to Oct 4-10...

I'm in no huge rush, but definitely wouldn't complain about an early arrival!

They must have made a good amount of 256gb devices to supply demand this week since you guys are seeing your dates being bumped up which is great, 128gb Plus jetblack on order here and still "processing" showing delivery estimate oct4-10

I preordered an iPhone 7 Plus 128GB Jet Black within just a couple minutes preorders going live and was given a delivery window of Oct 10-17. Oh well... it could have been November, right? Since then I have been periodically checking the Apple Store app and UPS for any sign of an order status change. It has shown "Your Order is Processing" since shortly after placing the order. Well, when I checked tonight it was still showing the same. I figured I would go ahead and check UPS (using my ohine number) fully expecting to not see anything. However, when I clicked the search button this time it found a record! My iPhone 7 Plus 128GB Jet Black left Shanghia, China and is scheduled to be delivered by 8:00pm on 9/16... Launch day!!!

How do you see where it is. i can't find anything on reference number.
 
Flipped from Processing to PFS and deliver date was changed from 9/26-10/3 to 9/23-9/26 earlier today. Woke up n the middle of the night and I have tracking n UPS. Phone will b delivered on Monday. #JetBlackPlus256GB #AT&T
 
Mine is preparing for shipping too! 7+ Jet Black 258. Original shipment dates were September 26 to October 3. Now it's September 23 to September 30. Hoping for earlier!

Apple notified me this morning that it shipped and will arrive by 9/23. Checked tracking and it's really coming Monday! So excite!

Yep yep same here. Jet Black 128 check tracking and it's coming Monday!
 
Does anyone have any updates? My status has moved from processing to preparing for shipment. The transaction was pending on my card yesterday (I haven't checked today) but it gives me no date. Under the description of my order it says "ships: November" but nothing at all where it says preparing for shipment?
