So i spoke with an Apple Rep yesterday via chat and she told me that people who have the Oct4-Oct10 delivery window will start seeing activity on their order this week starting Monday Sept. 26 which is what i was expecting anyways. I ordered 2 JB iPhone 7+'s 128GB T-Mo of which is still processing. My order went through at 3:10EST. Ten minutes after pre-orders began on Sept.9th. Im not upset because they DID quote me the above delivery window so i decided to not get my hopes up when people who ordered the exact same phone as i did*but from AT&T/Verizon* began receiving theirs way before their quoted delivery. But I'm pretty sure we'll receive our phones within that Oct4-Oct10 window.

Finally some good news. Let's hope we'll start seeing some movement by tomorrow.

I was able to reserve a phone for today at my local store using the IUP program. Has anyone here tried that? Will I be able to buy the phone if I am not trading in an old iPhone on the UP program? I did sign up for IUP with my initial preorder but I don't have a phone to trade in if I were to pick up in store today.

I also don't want to activate the phone in store. I got a reservation for a sprint model today but I'm on AT&T. I just want to walk out with the phone and put my SIM card in when I get home.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

I did that and they told me i can't . I have to buy only with IUP and thought the carrier. I told the salesman my cousin did the same and he just pay in full but he told me since 2-3 days change the policy.

Honestly, the only movement I'm expecting after I wake up tomorrow morning begins with a "B." :)

Seriously, though, I'm not bothered by having to wait until the delivery date that Apple promised when I placed my pre-order. But the apparent inconsistency, especially for people with pre-orders who later tried to reserve a phone at an Apple Store, is very frustrating. Some of them got an iPhone, others were turned away.

Apple had better get its act together by next year. If the rumors about the 2017 iPhone are at all accurate, the demand will be higher than for any prior release.

Beginning with b? do you mean p?

Thanks for the reply. I didn't bother going, assuming I'd be turned away anyway. I'd call and let them know I couldn't make it, but when I call apple now, it literally just says they're too busy to answer my call. Apple is seriously falling apart right now.
 
Add another person waiting out the 4-Oct - 10-Oct delivery date (7 Plus 128GB Black - Unlocked, ship to Australia).
The initial hold on my credit card has expired and my order remains in 'Processing Items'.
Hopefully some movement occurs mid to late this week.

I really thought we were going to see some movement this weekend, but I guess after the UPS fiasco apple is going to wait till their quoted delivery dates.

I just want to thank you for some useful info. Finally, this is what I want to hear after being in the dark! Not clicking the other threads and seeing people b**ch about how tracking their UPS flights.
 
I hope that something happens soon. I actually need my phone for my work. I'm sending back my iPhone 6 Plus when I get the new phone. It's not paid for yet but ATT didn't charge me any cell phone installment payment for October, just my cell phone service amount. So, I guess that's a little plus for having to wait this long for the phone upgrade.

I ordered an ATT matte black 128 GB iPhone 7 Plus at 7:15 CST on launch day. Haven't had anything happen except receiving the order confirmation. Order still processing....

I ordered the exact same configuration on the same date and near same time as you. I'm processing still as well.
 
I do have a "pre-pending" charge for the exact amount of my order on my card now. Basically I dont see the transaction, but my "Credit Available" is exactly $64 less than it was.
 
Hello!
Is there anyone else here that has a confirmation time BEFORE 2:10PT, ordered a Matte, 128GB, 7+, ATT, and is still processing - with Oct4-10? Trying to establish an apple to apple comparison for any activity. (sorry for the pun).
 
They charged my card yesterday around noon, and changed the Status to Preparing For Shipping!

Early morning I got notification that the phone was shipped, it was 4 - 10 Oct range, Tracking says it will be here on Oct 3rd.

iPhone 7 Plus 256 - Jet Black - T-Mobile ordered from Apple Website 6 minutes after midnight!

Can't wait!
 
still processing and no charge for me here. Hoping for a change soon!

Iphone 7 plus 256gb jet black t-mobile. :13 after apple site opened.

Hi, I ordered at 3:29 am CST per email, ATT 256 Black, Processing. I believe apple is now shipping the 256 Lot since all the carriers are showing less wait time for them. I checked all the carriers, ATT, Verizon, Sprint last night. As of this morning, ATT is showing backorder for 7 plus. don't know what it that all about. Anyways, Good news is most of us will get devices either this week or the next. Just hang in there!!!

Thanks, yeah I'm fairly confident things will start moving in the next day or two. Does anyone know how long it takes to go from preparing for shipment to actual delivery? For example, it my order changes from processing to PFS tomorrow, is delivery (to CT) feasible by the end of the week?
 
Still processing here - ordered 9/9 at a 6:05 am (or that's the time of the confirmation email). Black matte 128 GB unlocked ATT. I'm very grateful to know the rest of you are here - as so many in the larger thread of 4-10 seem to have shipped or received their phone It's now middle of the night in China - so I always check first thing in the AM when I get up in Washington DC (around 6am) as I figure that's the end of the work day in China, Seeing nothing is not a great way to start the day ...
