After quickly moving to the "Preparing for Shipment" stage on Friday, the first wave of iPhone 7 Plus shipments from Apple are now on their way to customers for delivery on Friday, September 16. Apple has not yet officially updated order statuses to "shipping," but a number of customers have found their new devices showing up in their Apple support profiles and in UPS order tracking. We've seen quite a few reports of iPhone 7 Plus orders showing up, but it's not clear if iPhone 7 units are shipping in volume yet.

U.S. customers can try to find their orders by using the "Track by Reference" function on the UPS website and searching with their phone numbers, typically the phone number associated with the Apple ID under which the order was made. The Apple order number minus the last two digits may also work. UPS customers who have My Choice accounts may already see their shipments showing up on their accounts without even needing to search.

The first wave of shipments is scheduled to arrive to customers on Friday, with delivery services holding packages until that date even if they arrive to regional hubs early. It is not unusual, however, for a few packages to slip through and arrive a day ahead of schedule for a handful of lucky customers.

First time ordering from Apple. Usually ships from FedEX with Verizon and arrives fairly late in the day(6PM). What time do you guys usually get your launch day phones?

Just a quick PSA: Don't freak out if your tracking information doesn't appear. Every time I preorder an Apple product, my tracking information seems to be later than everyone else. In fact, I couldn't get tracking info for my AW until *after* it was already delivered. They still always arrive on time. Happy waiting!

Guys just spoke to an Apple specialist. They told me everyone here needs call Apple and ask for the "Spicy tuna salad special of the day". Once you do that, they will transfer you to "Big Tony". Tell "Big Tony" what your problem is. "Big Tony" will make sure you are taken care of. Cause no one says no to "Big Tony"...

What model did you get? And what was the original delivery estimate from Apple?

That happened to me one year. I didn't even get a confirmation email on my order. No tracking number, NADA! I was FREAKING OUT!
Then my iPhone showed up at 10 a.m. launch day! YAY!

I ordered a gold 7+ 128GB. It was to be delivered on 16th and looks like that will be it!
I completed my order through the Apple App and got the email at 12:06 a.m.

Has anyone seen their IPhone 7 show up yet in the support profile site? Seems like the only ones showing up are the Pluses.

From my experience, IPhone orders can, from time to time, arrive much earlier from the anticipated delivery date.

It's better to project a later arrival date, than a sooner date and have the iPhone delivered past the expected delivery date.
