I was hoping to have my iPhone before I went on my trip this upcoming Wednesday but it doesn't seem likely at this point. It is still Processing and I order it on 9/9. Sigh...

Check iStockNow earlier today and have seen a lot of JB+ available all around the US indeed. Not much in Europe, but I heard from a specialist in an AS that they don't get any delivery on Sundays.
Enjoy your JB+ !
The closest Apple Store to me that has the one I need is 140 miles. The one that is only 30 miles from me doesn't have it. Imagine that.
Apple frustration continues…..my iPhone 7Plus moved to “Preparing for Shipment” and temporary credit card charge, but no further action for 5 days. I don’t understand why Apple is making our iPhone 7Plus Jet Black 9/9/16 pre orders so painful. Something is wrong in Cupertino.
Got my JB+ yesterday - I had to drive two hours but it beats settling for matte black (which I returned) or waiting until November. I love it. I do have it in a case though for now but plan to have it naked when I buy Apple Care later this week. PS - not saying JB is better when I said settling, just my preference.
Had a November 18 shipping date, ordered late September. Reading about jet black availability in stores, on Saturday I visited the nearby Apple store at 10AM opening time without a reservation. They had it in stock and after cancelling my Apple.com order in store, I was able to walk out with one.
I preordered 25 minutes after the preorders started. Got a ship date of 10/18-10/31. I got so sick of waiting that I found a jet black plus at a nearby Apple Store this morning. Walked out with it and canceled my preorder later today. I think it's a joke that people are still waiting for theirs to ship but the stores are getting them now. If you people are on the fence, your better off getting it at the store instead of playing the waiting game. The whole preorder this year I think was a **** show and Apple really dropped the ball on it. I won't even bother preordering the next iPhone. Better off just walking into a store and getting it.
Funny I did the same thing on Saturday. reserved for in-store pickup on a carrier plan, drive 2 hours, picked up the JB 7 Plus 256 and set it up before driving home for 2 more hours.
Only bad part of this was I host my Apple watch history while following the instructions of the Apple staff member
My 256GB JB 7+ shipped today from Sprint. It hasn't updated in UPS system yet but hopefully I get it tomorrow. It has next day delivery. I ordered Friday at 8PM.
Wow I order9/9 from Best Buy and got it last weekI was hoping to have my iPhone before I went on my trip this upcoming Wednesday but it doesn't seem likely at this point. It is still Processing and I order it on 9/9. Sigh...

Does apple care cover accidents
Placed two separate orders for Jet Black 256 iPhone 7+, Verizon, on 9/21 at 10 and 11pm. ESD: 11/16. Tonight, I received a text about the first order. There's a charge on the CC for that order. Second order must be charging my bank card, because my bank had to call and verify it. But the pending charge won't show up til tomorrow. THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOLKS.
Well, Apple officially came out with their unlocked and sim free iPhone.
And, of course, I am nowhere near a PFS status for my JB+.
How annoying!

have you seen the shipping dates for those though? Trust, you'll get yours before those come out. And those people are paying full price for the SIM free phones.
Yes. You. Congratulations, you could do that. There's a greater majority purchasing through device payment plans, than outright acquisition. Mostly because the offers from various service providers. My point is, there aren't nearly as many that buy them outright, usually, and those orders for SIM free are already backordered.
I paid the full price for my tmobile phone through Apple. I ordered it at 3am on 9/9. I'm just frustrated that Apple is now making the JB+'s more available by the hour in stores and now I see the sim free and unlocked phone came out. Then, there's me. Who still hasn't heard **** about the status of my freaking phone.
These people should've really taken care of all their preorders before even considered making these phones available in stores. What was the ducking point of this preorder?
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm just as peeved that stores are receiving stock before people are receiving their phones. They didn't do that with the 6s, or the Apple Watch First Gen. I don't know about the 6, or the 5s/4s really, because I waited for those in line.
I don't know about the 6, or the 5s/4s really, because I waited for those in line.I was told that, under Applecare, you are covered for (2) instances of accidental damage. They only thing not covered is if the phone is stolen or lost.
Update: Yep, Something is wrong in Cupertino Today the temporary credit card charge is gone? I contact Apple customer service and the only thing they can tell me my order is scheduled for November 11 delivery. WTF. Perhaps they decided to ship Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus stock to their Apple Stores!
I finally cancelled my preorder. Was able to snag one on Saturday in an Apple store when I saw it come available on istock. Good luck to the rest of you still waiting for a delivery date.
