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.
Interesting, since I keep checking the iStockNow website, and have yet to see a Jet Black of any kind show up in an Apple Store's inventory.
 
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! :mad:
I agree
 
I'm almost tempted to cancel my Jet Black order and just order one in regular Black (I was on the fence about which color to pick, anyway) since Apple is showing 2-3 weeks shipping for it (as opposed to the 4-6 week estimate for my current order) - but I keep holding out in the hopes that I catch a break and my phone ships early...

I was going to do the same, but now that, even the one I was going to get is on back order till nov 16th a week before my ship date, I chose to just wait

As it should be, I realize in years past they have shipped store inventory but they really should ship out to pre-order customers first before filling the store orders.

I would guess that you will see your Jet black before 2-3 weeks based on what has been happening here.
 
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.

Everything considered, it's not a bad ship date, as long as it does ship at that time. I've been tracking mine and was worried that it wouldn't leave and just the label was created, but it's now en route to Knoxville, TN from its stop last night in Hagerstown, MD. I should have it tomorrow! I don't like the white faced phones (just a personal preference) so my only options were JB and MB. I'm glad I didn't go with JB. It's like owing a black car: looks shiny and pretty at first, but with very little use, you start to see all the dirt, scratches, and dents! Here's hoping yours leaves out a few days earlier like mine did!!!! :D

That's what I'm hoping - I'm just incredibly inpatient :rolleyes:
 
I'm kind of bothered by this. I completed my order within minutes of pre-orders opening, got a October 18th to 31st delivery window. Still listed the same.
Mine is forbidden oct 4-10 but still what is taking so long go get our orders? What is the point of preordering?

Dude I feel your pain and everyone else's who is waiting for this iPhone. I went through this pain before for the 6 plus. Allow me to describe our pain: this is like passing a huge kidney stone at which your doctor tells you that you will pass this stone in 2-3 weeks then while 2 weeks later at the hospital you keep calling your nurse (apple specialist) and complain telling her: Oh my God nurse when will this damn stone pass it's been two weeks!Then your nurse tells you in a patronizing tone : Oh I know sweetie it hurts it should pass any day now! I'm happy you are part of this hospital family! Then you are like: Damn nurse Billy over there was only here for three days and he passed his stone allready! I've been here for two weeks what gives? Then your nurse says again in a patronizing tone: Oh I can understand that you want to pass that stone and get in with your life but some people here like Billy is luckier than others. You will just have to wait ok? Does this sound like what you all go though with Apple and your pre orders?

This is stupid I ordered mine minutes as well from pre order date and got oct 4-10 no email yet and others are getting it sooner I don't know how this is working but honestly I just wanna cancel my order by now might look like a soon early date but since the 9th and it's 21st now I should of at least gotten an email on my order about shipment
[doublepost=1474488126][/doublepost]when did you post your order
[doublepost=1474488319][/doublepost]I'm also hearing many many many many customers are getting them early but keep looking at these threads twitter feeds like seems like not that many people are getting them apparently
 
Still processing 7+ 256GB Jet Black AT&T ordered 1:15sm mdt 10/18-10/31 delivery. :(

I see several on eBay, but I cannot afford full cost.
 
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.

I'm in the same boat as you. It's still sitting in South Korea...
