I wonder how severe the manufacturing problems are with the JB color. This is why I think apple should do the following:

Announce phone, open preorder the following Friday.

Close preorders a week later. Then release the first Friday in October. This gives them time to actually produce the phones. I think they pushed the release up and thus are literally producing phones to fill orders as they come in. It's also apparent the apple program was prioritized. We all know now.

Naaaa that actually makes sense
 
Lol

Rub faster.

I'm still waiting too, but I think it's halarious how people over simplify the manufacturing process for these devices. It's VERY high level.

Not me I work for A auto manufacturer I know all about factories and manufacturing
 
I'm so mad they didn't ship them as they became available if you didn't order separate. Won't do that again. I would have had mine by now but waiting on hubbys jb.

I don't think they know what they're doing. When I ordered our phones, the wife's 7 (MB 128) had an estimated ship date of 9/16 (launch). My 7+ (also MB 128) said 9/23. When her phone didn't ship the first week I assumed they were holding them to ship together. But then her phone shipped this week and my order is now listed as "partially shipped" and I'm still waiting for my 7+ to have any update. Pretty freaking annoying. If they weren't holding them to ship together why did hers ship so late and why has there been no update on mine? Oh, and they certainly charged for both (the sales tax at least). Now I have to try and get them to just port her number without canceling my line also. I'm pulling my hair out over here with how annoying this whole process has been.
 
Except when I port her number from AT&T, our plans are together. It shouldn't be a problem in theory but I have zero faith in Verizon or AT&T at this point.

I didn't have any issues porting from AT&T in the past when I did it. It was pretty painless. I only brought one phone though so your mileage may vary.
 
FYI... A number of Florida Apple stores have ALL sizes available in Matte Black, in case anyone's interested.
 
Finally! My two MB 7+ 128 phones show a ship date of 9/22! No shipping info yet so I am assuming they will arrive on Tuesday.

I ordered around 8:30 central time on 9/9 with an expected delivery date of 9/28 and both phones were in the same order. Of course I'm home today but don't have a day off planned next week. Maybe I can catch the driver at my office as we only get a couple trucks in town on any given day. I might be lucky enough to have the same driver.
 
supposedly I am in the next week group. 28Sep. I hope it is truly accurate. The JB 7+ 256 is taking its time. :(
