So much for waking up at 3AM.
7+ 128GB JB
No movement, no charge, no UPS, no hope.
🙁

Someone posted a few days ago that they canceled their JB and ordered Matte Black. He was quoted 6-8 days. No proof though.

I call BS on that. I cancelled my JB+ on Tuesday and ordered Black and have 10/6-10/12 delivery.

I am at 00:26. I have to say, I think it's ridiculous that you ordered in the first six minutes and aren't getting it on launch day. Really poor planning by Apple. With their experience and Cook's reputation in supply chain, this is nothing short of an embarrassment.

I'm at xx:23 and I feel the same way. 6mins?? And no iPhone for launch date?? That's HORRIBLE. And that's putting it politely. Apple is too big of a company to have people waiting THIS long for a product they secured and paid for within MINUTES of ordering.

Ordered a 7+ 128 JB T-Mobile on 9/9, confirmation received at 12:09am, no movement yet. On 9/13 also ordered a 7+ 128 black, delivery 10/6-10/12. We'll see what ships first. Leaning towards keeping the black due to the scratching issues on JB.
 
I ordered the 7+ JB 128GB at 12:11a Apple Store on 9/9 and got the Oct. 4 - 10 Timeframe... read the reviews a few days later canceled... and ordered the 7+ Black 128GB via Apple Store on 9/13 and got the Oct. 6 - 12 dates... I've given up on the JB!
 
Not saying this will happen, but for the 6 plus (i think) I had a November delivery date, never moved into "preparing for shipment," no shipping notification, then it showed up on launch day. Even after I received it, Apple still showed "processing" for a while. It does sound like the pluses are legitimately in short supply though, so not counting on that happening again.

Trying to distract myself by looking into possible cases for my new 7+ JB. Any suggestions on brands to buy or avoid is greatly appreciated. I would prefer a battery case for my 7+, but I don't think those are available yet. I am thinking either clear or black case though.

Here is one article about cases.

Check out the clear case by speck. I swear by their cases and the clear one let's you actually show off the awesomeness of the beautiful iPhone.
 
Odered ATT iphone plus 128gb Black (matt) via apple.com Sept. 9th (around 7:45 am CST). Status has not changed from "processing items". 04 Oct - 10 Oct. range. No CC action either.

I'm in Texas and will be good if it arrives at least on next Wed.

128gb 7+ black

and to think, i was in the apple store at 12:01....and then i had to cancel and go to ATT's site to finish my Next payments....only their site was down until 2am! Finally got my order in and originally had a delivery of 10-04 to 10-10. Updated to 9-30 to 10-04 about two days ago. I got all excited... but nothing else has happened and im at a complete loss knowing IF i will get it any sooner than that....

Feel lucky people...i stayed up all night and even made it into the apple store on time to get 9-16 delivery... and then ATT threw a wrench in the whole thing.

I wish i could just get a small glimmer of hope.
 
iPhone 7 Plus 128GB Jet Black (Sprint). Oct 4-10 delivery window. E-mail at 3:10 AM EST.
No charge. Processing. Someone please save me and my iPhone. D:
 
When it finally prepares for shipment, do you get an email notification or only until it ships? Just deleted the Apple Store app from my phone Hahaha tired of spamming it for updates. Had to do it for my own sanity

I can tell you from past experience that the time you got your order in doesn't mean much. When the 6 came out, I got into AT&T's website 8 minutes before midnight and had my confirmation emails at 11:58pm. I didn't get my phone till the Tuesday after launch day. There are so many servers handling the orders, it's impossible to ship in the exact order that orders were placed. It's more like being lumped into groups of shipping dates. When the 10/4-10/10 starts moving, we should all expect movement regardless of our time stamp.

Yeah. I think it has tied to the block you are in an specific model rather than the order date. However for the specific 10/4 block. Several days got the same delivery order so probably in that scenario that will matter a bit
 
7 Plus, 128GB, AT&T, confirmation 1:12am Mountain, in the 4th-10th crew. No movement, no charges. Still waiting.
 
xx:13 Apple Store app ,iup new enroll ,128gb jb 7+(currently have 6+),10/4-10/10 ship date,processing....cc charge disappeared this morning,nuthin in profile yet,so glad they announced no 7+ at Apple Store at launch ,was about to try and wait overnight.guess it's up to them to make em quicker
 
I ordered on launch day around 7:15 am CST from the Apple website (AT&T upgrade). Phone is 7+ black 128 GB with Oct 4-Oct 10 delivery window. My debit card has not been charged. Still processing. I would feel better if it would at least change to preparing for shipment even if it stayed that way for a few days. At least I would know something in happening.
 
a guy I used to work with is a manager at ATT (in Arkansas) and said they should all have 10-15 pluses in each color and storage. If you want to try getting there early you may get one! I would but I have to work 🙁

Wow. What is Apple thinking? No plusses in their stores but supplying them to carriers' stores. Insane!

This isn't AT&T. This is widely known that they suck at their preorders and fulfillment. Apple has it down a lot better then them. Big difference.
