It seems that the remaining people with the Sep 27 dates just got their final status update to "shipped" with deliveries for Tuesday. So I'm thinking we are next either tonight or tomorrow morning, with delivery dates for Wednesday-Thursday.

Like I said yesterday we'll more than likely get our phones by the end of next week if you are in the "Preparing for Shipment" status
 
I wonder how safe it is to cancel right after making an in store reservation with Apple.....
Well I don't even want to try now, but the PFS status says you can't cancel or change anything about the order until it's officially shipped.

I am still processing. What would you do if you could get a reservation and was still able to cancel?

Apple chat told me as long as you have a confirmed reservation in store and get there on-time the phone will be yours. I even mentioned that I had heard others having issues with their reserved phones not being available and they were shocked about that so hopefully that was a rarity. I've cancelled my pre-order, had AT&T reset my eligibility and have a reservation at 3pm today to pickup my new phone.

If I can get a reservation, I am going to do the same.

Were you able to cancel the order via apple.com while it was in PFS?

No, mine was still processing. You might see if AT&T or whatever carrier you have can do it though...they offered to contact Apple by phone for me before I told them I had already cancelled it online.

I love it, those who haven't had movement get it by picking it up. Seems a lot of Apple stores have stock of the black 128 7+. That's all that was available at my store, and I wish I could change but I cannot now.
 
I saw quite a few black 7+ in Phoenix Apple stores available for reservation this morning, mostly AT&T, but some Verizon as well.

Too bad the order I placed *yesterday* went to PFS yesterday as well... I might have had a better shot in the next day or two on Rose Gold 7+ 256. (None available in PHX this morning). Oh well. Either way, in 2-3 weeks or less I'll have one :)

EDIT: Available for reservation (I wasn't *in* the store)
 
Why am I scared to cancel my pre order that is stuck in processing, now that I have a confirmed in store reservation for the phone I want?

If you're in processing, go for it. I saw a Rose Gold 128 7+ in town this morning but didn't leap on the reservation because mine went to PFS yesterday :( Sounds too messy to cancel then. But processing is an easy cancel. Just wait until you have your phone in hand though!

Yeah, just not sure how long it takes AT&T to reset upgrade eligibility.

I felt the same way but since my phone showed no signs of changing to shipped anytime soon, I figure if for any reason Apple screws me over with my reservation not being available (worst case scenario), it appears as if phones are arriving to the stores on a daily basis now, so I figure I'd still be able to snag one in some store between now and the time it would take for my pre-order to arrive.
 
My preorder is still processing but I was able to reserve one for pick up in the Apple Store for today...!

If everything goes well will just cancel my order...!
