Please its a marketing play by apple to generate fictitious demand and users fall for it every yr. Not me. I only buy online and wait. I never join any line to pick up a simple phone device
Many customers who pre-ordered a Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus received shipping estimates ranging into October and November, but it appears Apple is working hard to overcome supply constraints and get shipments out earlier than expected.
Starting this morning, MacRumors began hearing reports from customers who originally had deliveries scheduled for a month or two out but will now be receiving their devices over the course of the next few days.
MacRumors reader Daniel was told to expect his Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus in November, but will be receiving it tomorrow, while another customer had a delivery scheduled for October 4 to 10, but will instead receive his iPhone on Wednesday. There are also multiple reports on Twitter from customers who have had similar good news, including some improved delivery estimates from carriers.
The new Jet Black iPhone offers both a unique mirror-like finish and a new deep black color, which has made it one of the most popular choices with customers. It uses a different anodization process than the other iPhones to achieve the shine, perhaps explaining why it is in shorter supply.
Reports of improved shipping estimates are encouraging for customers who are expecting to wait until November to receive a new iPhone. When pre-orders for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus took place on September 9, shipping estimates for Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus models slipped to weeks and then months within a matter of minutes, leaving customers who wanted the new color waiting. If Apple can continue ramping up supply, orders may be going out much earlier. Orders placed today on Apple's website for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus continue to have November delivery estimates.
For those who have ordered a Jet Black iPhone or plan to, Apple warns that the device is prone to significant scratching because of its finish, something that has indeed been seen in early reviews and in the wild already.

My ship date has been 9/23 since first 15 minutes of preorder and my iPhone is still in "process" with no cc charge
Ordered from Ontario, Canada.
Still no shift in delivery date.
I gave my wife my iPhone SE and took her iPhone 5 to use in the meantime, hoping the date would improve. Much regret.
The things we do for love...
I did! I ordered a Jet Black 128GB 7 on 9/14 in store. My order says this: Your order for the iPhone 7 Jet Black 128GB has been received. Our various shipment times based on order date are: (i) Ships by 10/7 if ordered by 8AM CT on 9/9. (ii) Delivers 10/19-10/26 if ordered between 8AM CT on 9/9 and 12PM CT on 9/17. (iii) Delivers 11/1-11/14 if ordered after 12PM CT on 9/17. You may track the progress of your order at www.sprint.com/myorder.
Bummer. I ordered two T-Mobile iPhone 7+'s 128GB in JetBlack. Received conformation at 3:11am EST the day pre-orders began with Oct4-Oct10th delivery window. I have yet to see any change in my order. Meanwhile there are tons of people who ordered the same phone i did except they ordered AT&T/Verizon and were given the Oct4-Oct10th window as I and they're receiving it this week! Not. Fair. At. All.
Haven't seen any Verizon mainly AT&TNo updates here. I ordered the 256gb at 2:13 Central on Apple.com with a delivery date of Oct 4-10 and it's still processing
At this point it would seem I have a better shot at winning the lottery than getting my Verizon 7+ 256 shipped, on that note off I go to buy a ticket!
Yep, just got an ATT text about 10 minutes ago for a 128GB Jet Black +. And I only ordered the phone about 2 days ago.
For the people who are getting shipment notifications, when was it originally supposed to ship? Are you seeing your order page ship time go down before it ships or do you just see a notification that says it shipped then the order page says shipped? Lastly, did you order through apple or through your carrier?
