Ordered a matte black plus (256) and a JB plus (128), the matte black finally left China ,went to Korea, and now it's in Alaska. The JB one however is still in China unfortunately.
The matte black phone was supposed to be delivered the 23rd - 30th of this month and my JB phone had an October shipping date. However both of them shipped early and is supposed to arrive this week. Ordered through apple for ATT.

I'm with AT&T and my Jet Black 256 was supposed to ship in November but I was notified today that it will arrive tomorrow...
Thanks for Shipping October and November orders before orders in September. /s

I know my date is 9/28 Verizon JB 7+ 256 and have no movement whatsoever so annoying it seems they are pulling orders last to first!
Mine is still processing also. I forgot to include the /s at the end of my post for sarcasam. Which model did you order?

My delivery window is the 21st-28th. So technically still in it. But still processing, no charge, no update in profile, no preparing for shipment, no dice.
When I ordered mine from T-Mobile (within 2 hours of the start of preorders) the estimate was September 16 - 26, then a few days later I was texted that the date had changed to November 1 - 30. After some deliberating, I called yesterday to cancel and order a different color, which had much sooner ship times of 2 - 3 weeks... but T-Mobile told me that the warehouse had already allocated the order and it would be shipping this week.
The website still says November 1 - 30, but apparently I'll have it in just a week or two.

I order gold iPhone 7 and It will be shipping 9/27-10/10. I though gold iPhone 7 was gonna ship faster than matte black and jet black. Apple store have abundance of regular iPhone 7 gold but Tmobile customers are not lucky. We are only allow to order from tmobile website or store.
I'm still waiting for mine. Midnight and it's still 9/27 to 10/24. Really pissed and last time I preorder through tmobile
While neither of ours are black, I ordered my 7+ 128 Gold like 1am on 9/11, and the wife's 7 128 Rose Gold at 8pm 9/11, both through Verizon. My delivery date was and still is 10/5, but hers was 9/28 but will now be delivered today 9/21. And hers also came from from Coatesville, PA.
I would love mine to move up but I can't really complain, having preordered at the end of the weekend.
7+ Jet 128 No News from Verizon here. I tried ordering on the Apple site 10 minutes after launch but it was a **** show so I ordered from Verizon directly. When I ordered it gave me a ship date of 10/5. When the confirmation email came it changed to 10/26. Apple please give Verizon some phones.
I ordered my AT&T Black 128 GB iPhone 7 Plus from the Apple Store 10 minutes after they went on sale. Original estimated delivery window was Oct 4 - Oct 10 but then my order went to "Preparing for Shipment" on Saturday 9/17, my credit card was charged then this past Monday morning 9/19, the status changed to "Shipped"!
UPS delivery was immediately set for today Wednesday 9/21 but when I checked the tracking yesterday, UPS updated the delivery date got pushed out a day to tomorrow Thursday 9/22. As I checked the UPS tracking again this morning, UPS now states "Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later.". Tick me off!
So, clearly there's some sort of shipping delay. I see that my phone sat in ZhengZhou, China for 2 days but it's now in Incheon, Korea. Hopefully UPS will update with a new, solid delivery date soon. I'll update you all again once that happens.

So what did you end up ordering? I order a JB Plus on 9/9/16 3 am cst still no updates on Tmobile.
Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus, 128 gb, completed my order with AT&T at 12:06 AM on the 9th; got an estimated arrival date of Oct. 14-21st. That annoyed me, but whatever... it is what it is. But now that I'm hearing people who had delivery dates of November, who ordered well after midnight on pre-release day, are getting their phones... I'm getting angry. (Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly happy for the individuals getting their phones; I'm just mad at the cluster**** that has resulted in that happening).
I keep checking, but delivery's still scheduled for Oct. 14-21.

I was in AT&T yesterday for other reasons. Noticed they had "several" unsold Black and Jet Black 128 Plus models in stock.
Reinforced by the fact my next stop was the Apple Store. They had Black 128GB and Silver in Plus models.
Seems the high demand has tapered off quickly this year. Good news for walk in customers.

Pretty ****** Apple is keeping all the JB to fill their orders and aren't sending any or very much to Verizon obviously when we had dates of 9/23 and 9/28 and Apples had said November for them!
