Still processing for me. Ordered on 9/9 at 2:17am PDT. AT&T 7+ 128GB matte black. I'm waiting as patiently as I can. I don't have time to search for a phone's availability. I have a job that takes up too much of my time. This pre-order is a bunch of bull. I have an empty case I received that I ordered with my phone. I'm taking it back as it's driving me nuts! Ok rant off.
Got a tip for us?

Seems a ton of people on this thread got their phone from the Apple Store today. I still think that's messed up that they are in stock (somewhat) in stores and us morons are waiting nearly 2 weeks already in processing purgatory...not to mention we preordered. That being said, I check several times daily in Apple stores, but no luck yet. I ordered a 128 MB and that's what I want, won't settle for anything else. I wonder if Apple knows how FUBAR this release has been? I've only preordered for the 4S....are all preorders a nightmare like this one? Very happy for all who found their phones in stores....just puts us one more step closer
I've preordered since the 4 and this launch is the worst.
Ordered :30 day of pre-orders and still in processing. Anyone stuck in proccessing and tired of waiting I recommend checking stock throughout the day. I noticed a few stores around had them in stock off and on. I was able to find and order a 7+ 128GB at&t MB for in store pickup tomorrow. I was on hold for 10 minutes waiting to cancel my previous order but after that I was home free! No more waiting......assuming everything goes as planned tomorrow!
Mines still processing .. ive been keeping up on the apple store app and finally was able to reserve one online.. went in and left with what I wanted iphone 7+ blk att 128gb .. the odd thing is that i could not cancel my iup online and i get an error that says i have to call to cancel any ways here it is

Still processing here as well. I was hoping to see some change by the today, but now I don't think we will see any updates until next Friday at the earliest.
My wife already got her rose gold 128 plus, and she ordered hers 3-4 days after launch and initially had a shipping time of 2-3 weeks.

When he arrived your wife?
She ordered hers around September 13 maybe the 14th . She got notification by that Saturday that it was shipping
I got excited last weekend when mine went to preparing for shipment, but I've had no charges to my card and can't find anything under track by reference. What irks me is I looked at availability at a nearby Apple store and they had the model I wanted in stock, but I'd rather not drive an hour to get there and deal with having to cancel my AUP pre-order and re-sign up.
I was so over waiting for my status to change from processing to PFS (14 days and counting), so I stayed up to reserve a phone last night. Got my 7+/ATT/128GB/Matte Black reserved at 12:03am and picking it up this afternoon. Next time I won't even bother with pre-ordering since it really didn't seem to matter this go around!
I'm still in processing as well.
I decided to call Wells Fargo since they originally messed up the initial preorder, and now my posted -> pending charge has completely vanished from my statement.
They said it disappeared from the statement because Apple failed to send receipt of purchase to WF, which truthfully makes sense since they only charge once it is being "prepared to ship". This means that the original Preparing For Shipment status update and original charge on my account were both fraudulent, or even downright reversed in light of all these logistical troubles with UPS.
::sigh::
I'm honestly just going to try and forget about it until I receive an email from Apple (not one about their Watch 2). Hopefully then the current UPS shipping/flight fiasco will subside, other preorderers will cancel and grab in-store phones, and ours will be hurried along.
That is a ton of wishful thinking though.

So, let me get this straight:
If I see the model I am seeking at a local Apple Store, what should I do with my current order? I am going through AT&T Next, and I cannot reserve the phone through Apple's website because it says AT&T Next is not available.
Should I just reserve the phone via "Paid in Full" method, or does that make me paid in full right then and there? Or does that just reserve it and then I tell them in store that I need to cancel my original preorder for the in-store phone?
Or do I simply just cancel my preorder via Apple website, and then I can automatically reserve the new phone under Next plan?

This is completely off-topic, but I have to say 719 pounds looks far more ominous than its equivalent dollar amount. :/
I would like to know this as well, I don't want to cancel my pre-order before I know I have something reserved like other people have done. I played around with the site a bit and so far I haven't been able to reserve anything because of my pre-order
well I'm officially leaving this thread. I did the IUP reservation for one and they frowned upon this since I didn't actually want to do the IUP. None the less I canceled my pre-order and got my 128GB Black 7+ from the apple store.
I think the only reason i'll ever pre-order ever again with apple is simply as a placeholder. Just in case things get really ugly at the stores but aside from that, it seems to be a waste of time. This of course is given you get a non launch day delivery date. I got both phones i wanted at my local stores, really thankful for istocknow.com
I reserved one Wednesday and picked it up that night. When you reserve it looks like it is IUP and no option to change if I remember correctly. Once I got to store I paid in full with my debit card. She did ask if I wanted IUP or ATT NEXT as well.
I also asked her to not assigned to number and that o would do that at home when I restored from back up.
I did not cancel preorder until I walked out with phone.
Once home, I restored from backup of 6s+ and swapped SIM from 6s+. Logged into ATT website and it even had my device as 7+.
Hope this helps.
