Man, I am so annoyed with this whole ****ed up situation.
I'm also STILL in this processing limbo crap. How the hell am I still here when I preordered so freaking early?!
Talk about first world problems but, why the hell stay awake so late to preorder then?
I checked all my targets and nothing here. Just a bunch of 7's. Ain't nobody got time for that, lol.

My 10-14th October JB 256GB 7+ only yesterday moved to preparing to despatch and is still saying that so we have a long wait for our November phones.
I don't get why It is taking forever for apple to ship JBs.
I put a request for plus JB 128gb for my wife on Monday through apple upgrade program, and I was able to pick up yesterday in the store. Still waiting for my phone
Yikes!! That's not good news for us November dates.
But, good for you for finally getting a preparing for shipment change!! I hope that your phone ships fast and it doesn't have to endure that horrible delay in China that many phones had.

It says it will be delivered by UPS on Monday with the original delivery date being Wednesday so two days earlier than they expected.
Just a shame my other phone I ordered the same time is still saying 11th November.
you picked up a JB plus in store ?I don't get why It is taking forever for apple to ship JBs.

BB should price match to Apple's price. Bought my iPhone 6S Plus from them last year and they credited the difference which was only $50....don't know why they've marked it up $100 this time. That said, I also placed an order for a 128 GB JB iPhone 7 Plus ATT for me and my other half from Best Buy on 9/16 and received shipment notification yesterday for both-they are scheduled for delivery tomorrow!
Meanwhile my order that I placed with Apple on 9/9 is still processing.
Yeah, that's definitely strange.
Apple has handled this preorder horribly, in my opinion.

Lol, just kidding. I'm just wicked jealous. My husband is waiting till my phone arrives to see if he wants to order one for himself. He's not convinced yet if he wants to dish out for the 7Plus Jet Black or not, lol.
He's got a long time to wait with these November estimates.
i think it's weird... but... i don't know... (prices)
This crazyness with apple and not fulfill the pre-orders on time is just a bad image for them... i think that if you are going to have a pre-order, well just give a number of units and just close it after get reached, so that way nobody gets mad.. (to receive on launch day)

I've read on other threads here where BB has been matching prices...I will find out when I give them a call later today I guess.
Been checking inventory at target and bbuy every 30-45 minutes today with no luck until finally around noon I found an ATT 128gb JB plus at a bbuy nearby. I jump on it and place the order. Get the confirmation right away. I was so excited! Then 20 minutes later, another email follows saying item not available...I'm so ****ing mad this is ridiculous
Well, I have to say other than the color this phone isn't life shattering. If you don't look at the back it is pretty much your 6S with a different home button. I really can't tell any difference in speed. I would think Apple would lose some ground with delays like are posted on here. I ordered mine on pre-order day at 3:30am through Verizon and Apple and the Verizon one was delivered September 27th and on October 1st I canceled the Apple one. Crazy.
Pre-ordering early and still getting late shipment is not the problem because it goes by time. But prioritizing iUP orders over people who ordered at the exact same time is pretty bothersome. The only way to balance that out is to prepare pre-allocation for iUP customers so there is no prioritization and everybody gets their phone as they made their orders.
By Apple's current logic, an iUP customer doesn't even have to do a late night pre-order and can still get a phone way earlier than somebody who pre-ordered right at launch, and that is a POS move by Apple.
Oh no, you talk to the IUP crowd and they will say they come first. Cause they are entitled to a new phone every year!! Lulz!!
This is how I feel. I quit trying to find the jet black phone. The excitement of having it has worn off. I settled for a matte black IPhone plus. It arrives tomorrow. And I am cool with that. In the end the euphoria of having a jet black phone wouldn't have lasted for me anyhow.
I've compared against my 6+ and the difference is noticeable.
I've been tempted to upgrade but fortunately there is no local stock. And I'm not going to order to wait 8 weeks lol.
