Ordered 2 32gb black, 1 32gb rosegold, 1 128gb jet black from Tmobile on 9th Sep, ship date was 15Sep on that day -two days later ship date shows 1stNov to 30th Nov, called Tmobile to check , apparently its all going to be shipped together - as it was all in one order , only way to get the phones earlier would be to cancel and re-order separately - not taking a chance, - hope this influx of merchandise helps to shorten the wait.

UPDATE : just checked the Tmobile ORDER status , still shows ship date 11/1/16 to 11/30/16
 
Ordered mine thru Verizon at 3:10 Eastern and had a 9/28/16 delivery date. Still in processing and still showing a 9/28/16 ship date. Are these early shipments just for apple store orders?
 
I was perfectly fine with the lack of headphone jack on the iPhone 7. Thought all the complaints were just a bunch of whiners. But then 2day, my first real world use - at work, my battery started to die about 4 hrs into my day and I just plugged in my charger like I always do when I realized I couldn't partake in a conference call because there was no way to use the phone while the damn thing is charging. Unbelievable! Really, it just is. There are certain basic phone functions that I guess I took for granted and didn't realize how important it was. But the ability to CHARGE AND TALK at the same time is a TAD IMPORTANT! I hate Bluetooth headphones.

Hopefully this means the stores will be getting big shipments of stock over the next few days and those of us still waiting to reserve Plus units will be able to. But subjecting my body to 6AM wake up calls, to check the iReserve site, every day is getting really old.
 
256GB Jet Black Plus w/ Oct 18 - 31 shipping here. Hope the phone will ship this week or next week *fingers crossed*.
 
Ordered gold model 256GB. Sept 16th since I who was told they weren't going to be any on launch day email States October 11th-17. I'm hoping that this changes
 
Kind of annoyed by this, I'm in the UK ordered within seconds of it going on pre-sale. Got a delivery sate of 24 Sep- 3 Oct and my shipping date hasn't improved. Does anyone know if these improvements people have described (where they had the same shipping estimate as mine) are limited to the USA, or has anyone in the UK had their shipping estimate improve?

This is all fine and dandy, but still NO ONE is reporting on At&t NOT fulfilling orders....

Ordering through AT&T we appear to be Apples redheaded stepchild that they don't want to acknowledge. Ordered JB 256GB Plus at 12:00:54AM PST on 9/09 (according to AT&T order confirmation email) and I have been moved from shipping 9/30-10/07 to 11/4-11/11. Called AT&T and the insisted in was first in first out which has already been proven wrong multiple times.

Congratulations. Me too. But I never make investment decisions based on the idea that a company like Apple is in the primary business of gaming the market.

Super crazy!..I'm rich too ... never thought us rich people would be hanging out here... ... actually aren't we all rich in a way, if we are getting iPhones and are talking about waiting for them to arrive!.. hahaha..so... any more people on the 10/15-10/30 getting any movement?

Good for those that waited, but my wife has had an iPhone 5S for 3 years now and just wanted the 7 Plus as quickly as possible. So while she really wanted this color, we just canceled the order yesterday so she could get one that was shipping more quickly. I was talking to an Apple Specialist yesterday, so it would have been nice if he had any info to share before we canceled it. And considering I was up at 3 AM EDT to order this, I'm pretty confident I would have been one of the ones to get the ship date moved up. Not a huge deal in the scheme of things, but I am sure as hell not happy.
 
I ordered my Matt Black iPhone 7+ 128gb w/ t-mobile and it hasn't been shipped. The estimated ship date is Nov 1st - Nov 30th. I hope it gets changed to a sooner date.

From my experience over the past few days, the UK has had absolutely no extra Plus stock enter the country since Friday. Plenty of 7s around though, every morning at 6AM. I believe the Plus units we've seen appearing are cancelled reservations as there's so few of them around.

I expect us to get a big shipment over the next couple of days and shipping will improve then, as well as reservation availability.

Apple Store employees don't know anything about stock, the amount of units they'll get, or how shipping estimates will change. You'd be surprised just how in the dark store employees are kept. In fact, a lot of the time I've had conversations with regular floor staff and realised I knew far more about what we were talking about than they do. Genius Bar staff are generally much better, but they tend to have 'keywords' and 'hit phrases' they'll garble out to avoid discussing any actual details of business. That's always been the way Apple does business with its staff.

went to an Apple Store today - tried a black and a jet black 7 Plus.

Black felt very slippery.
Jet Black felt more 'grippy' but covered in fingerprints from fondlers - ewww.

Jet Black reminds me of the iPhone 3G finish.
 
This has been happening with other product launches, Apple sells out, but delivers under the estimates.
