Same here. I was under the impression that once you started the process that it was supposed to hold your spot until you finished. Same exact thing happened to me with the 6 Plus, but I did get it a little earlier than the quoted timeframe.

No, early bird gets the worm....

I don't know why doesn't apple just make like 10x the new color? like if you know people will order more jet blacks just make a bunch of jet blacks so we can all be happy. They pull the same crap every year last time it was rose gold sold out within minutes. geez almost 10 years and they still haven't got it right yet.
 
This happens ever year. Most will get it in delivery if ordered within the hour. Same happened with rose gold.

To be fair, if you watched the keynote, the jet black goes through a number of processes the others don't. They just can't make as many as the others in the same amount of time. I went through this fiasco with the Space Black Apple Watch...that was the worst.
 
I ordered the 128GB 7 Plus Black for Verizon about 1:11 AM (when their damn site/app came back online). Email and order status both say the 16th, so hoping that's the case, since the website says 2-3 weeks now (for 128 GB black with Verizon). Ordered from Apple BTW, Verizon's website kept crapping out on me.
 
But what did you guys expect? Lol. It was the most popular model. I knew they were going to slip quick. Especially the 128gb models. I've been paying attention to the polls and everything That's why I went with the 256 matte black Plus.
 
I'm hoping this delivery date gets bumped up; otherwise I might cancel it and try and pick one up in stores
I might actually do that too if any store carries the 128gb jet black...i dont want any other color lol...the jet black is making me reminisce Iphone 3g
