Just reserved matte black at&t 256gb for pickup. Bye bye processing hell
My current delivery estimate is Sep 27th - Oct 1st. So if I don't see any movement within a couple of days I'm going to call Apple and make some rep's day really miserable... Just kidding. I'm probably gonna call and very politely ask why my iPhone 7 Plus has been stuck in processing purgatory for 15 days.
Final update.
Ordered Sept 14 from Apple website. 128 GB matte black unlocked. Paid full price. Showed delivery between Oct 7 - Oct 13.
Card had pending charge on Sunday Sept 18
Phone change from processing to preparing for shipment on Monday Sept 19.
Stayed that way until Thursday, when it went back to processing......then later that day, back to preparing for shipment.
Phone shipped Saturday Sept 24 with delivery scheduled for the 27th

No movement from processing yet, and I'm not expecting any change until the end of the week. I check the local Apple Store stock a few times a day, but I haven't found an AT&T black 7 Plus 256GB yet. The 128GB iPhones seem to be more popular and plentiful.
It'd be great if MacRumors could set up a way for members to indicate which model they've ordered and update the status periodically so that everyone could see how things were going in aggregate. A lot of work, I know, but the same platform could be used for every product launch.

This is so infuriating. Ordered 9/9 at 6:30 AM CDT. 7+ MB 128 GB AT&T. Delivery 10/4-10/10. Still processing. No charge. Nothing. Others after me are shipping and I'm stuck in processing hell. I'm so frustrated with the process this time that I am about ready to cancel the whole thing. My 6S+ is looking more and more like what I should stay with.
Can someone talk me off the ledge?

Think of it this way: In two weeks from today, you'll almost certainly have your new iPhone in hand and the memory of the ordering process will start to fade. Meanwhile, you have an excellent 6S Plus to use, which is newer than what some people are upgrading from. While you're waiting, it wouldn't hurt to check to see if you can get the phone you ordered at an Apple Store and cancel your pre-order. That's what I'm doing.
There's no rhyme or reason for why my phone was shipped when it did. Due to being on vacation, plus failure in trying to get the iPhone upgrade program thing for my wife and I (two people with credit scores 800+, 4 credit cards with no balance between them, and two different SSN's could not get approved from Citizens Bank) led me to ordering my phone on the 14th. I fully expected it to come mid-late October, and was fine with that. To have it shipped when it did just makes me chuckle.
Unrelated: I ordered my wife's 128 rose gold 7 from ATT directly on the morning of Sept 12. Received it launch day.
I go through it every upgrade - I contemplate giving Android a try. I was looking at the Note 7 , but of course, for now, Ill pass. I am curious about Google's "Pixel" phones that should be announced soon. My only experience with Android has been my work on call phone (a samsung galaxy that is absolutely infuriating to use) and a Nexus tablet that I hated due to battery life (and I of course got an iPad mini to replace it). It's the apple ecosystem that keeps me firmly in place. But if there is not a significant change to next years phone, size wise with the plus model to make it more handleable, and some features to catch up to the competition - wireless charging, fast charging, I may finally give in.
I get the frustration, I am in the 4-10 window and was really hoping for shipment by now. But look at it this way. You keep using the 6s+ with the new ios10 (I only have the 6+ and the lag on it is starting to become an issue) and another 1-2 weeks you'll get the new7. At least thats what I keep telling myself as I obsessively check apples order page.
[doublepost=1474730051][/doublepost]Hi,
I am in the same boat however from my past Apple ordering experience this year is somewhat different, I ordered at 3:29 CST, ATT 256 7+, still processing but since delivery is oct 4- 11, I am still optimistic that we will get them before that, we still have a whole week to go! So don't panic friends we will get the IPhones, just stay positive about this!!
You got it. Not only that, Citizens Bank couldn't even (paraphrasing) access my wife's credit report. Multiple emails declining her SSN/Apple ID stated that. Said to call the credit bureaus to see if there was an issue.
The only thing I can think that was causing an issue for us is I was attempting to do the IUP while on vacation. I'm wondering if the geo-location of the IP address in attempting to do IUP not matching up with the approximate location of our home address had anything to do with the failures. I even went to an Apple store and attempted to do (with the help of an Apple employee) and it still failed with both of our SSN's/apple IDs.
I was able to order a Series 2 watch for my wife successfully when pre-orders began, and it was delivered on launch day.
As for our credit reports, I checked them after this mess was through. Wife's was never accessed by Citizens Bank. Mine showed a check from them. Nothing else.
Oh, wife's phone? Did the Next 18 plan with ATT. Took about 30 seconds start to finish. Just paid for mine outright with Apple, since the ATT site showed it would take 2 more weeks for delivery than if I ordered the phone from Apple.
I've been weary of the believability of iStock but may success stories keep coming through. However, will the reservation only work if you're already a part of IUP or can you still do it if you're about to enroll in the program?
I am wondering this also. I had a reservation for a phone yesterday, but it was a 1.5 hour drive each way. I contacted apple via support chat to confirm that I could do this, and they said typically not but that it is up to the store manager. Another weird, lame policy on apples part. Just make it clear, can I buy the darn phone or not? I chose not to bother driving there for just a possibility of a phone.
You can reserve without any IUP registration, once you're there you can change it to carrier financing or join IUP. I've heard you can't buy them fully though.
You can still buy in full as long as you don't reserve through the IUP link. I just reserved through the online store and chose pickup. Selected the option for pay in full. Currently waiting in line to pick it up. I'll pet you know if it works out in the end.
Seems like all of our orders are the 128 GB Black for att. And all still stuck in processing. Ughhh when will ours be processed?!!
You guys are not alone.
