As this is my first iPhone preorder, just hoping to use everyone's previous experience as an indicator.
Originally ordered a matte black iPhone 7+ 256 GB at around 4.10 am. Was originally given an end of October/start of November shipping date, which was bumped up to a 30 September - 13 October date at the beginning of the week.
Last night, however, I noticed that the status for my phone had been upgraded from `Processing` to `Preparing for Shipment`. My wife's phone, with the same shipping date, is still `Processing`. Is the status change something for me to get mildly excited about, or is it likely to stay in `Preparing for shipment`until my estimated dates? I know it isn't an exact science, but I'm hoping to either have my hopes raised or crushed depending on what's happened with people in the past!
