Not surprising on the 7+ not being in stores, it was the same exact situation with the 6+ release at my corporate store. Learned that pre-order is the only way to go for me.

I am just butt hurt that I ordered 30 mins early per loop hole and I am not getting my 128. Thats what I get for trying to cheat the system

What are the odds of phone showing up today even with still on process mode. lol I am a little bit nervous of the 256 JB plus phones like how long is the actual wait.

Well, my card was charged last night when a lot of other people's were, but woke up to no email or tracking information this morning. Order still shows processing on the VZW website.
It's too bad Apple wouldn't allow you to do an upgrade with payments on their website, because I would have went with them instead and probably not have this issue. I left AT&T for Verizon very recently, maybe I should have stayed with AT&T lol

Next year is either going to be a normal s launch. (No issues getting phones on launch day) Or complete madness because of the 10th anniversary phone.
 
First time not getting my phone on launch day in years. Also the first time ordering through Verizon. I'm thinking I'll pay it off next year and just order through Apple.
Exactly my thoughts. I am very disappointed in my experience pre ordering with Verizon. Know this might not be their fault and all but my preorders with Apple in the past have been much easier.

Got charged last night for both my phones and woke up with no tracking. First year I have ever not gotten a phone on launch day. And I just switched to Verizon from att. Maybe this was the wrong choice. Very disappointed. I'll update everyone once we finally do get tracking and when it will be delivered

Yea, I think most people would chalk this up to Apple simply not supplying enough. It could be true, but I believe that they, rightfully so, give themselves priority to the phones where needed. So obviously ordering through Apple would be the way to go. I also believe some of our 7+ phones were rerouted to Apple Upgrade members because of the screw up by Apple. Oh well, one week is not a huge deal. Just hoping to get it before I leave for Mexico next weekend where I can test the waterproofing in the ocean.

Feel ya, man. For some reason I'm still holding out hope that FedEx is just so busy that they have not fully updated tracking info yet.....but yeah I am beginning to think I won't get mine till Monday or Tuesday.

Do not take it in the ocean man! Apple says to keep it away from salt water, even for Samsung devices just regular water. I don't want you to ruin that beautiful phone the first weekend you have it.

Me too man! This blows!
 
I just want to say that pre-ordering, even if you don't get the phone on launch day, is the way to go. We'll still get our phones faster than most people that ordered after the first 12 hours or so and we have little hassle to go through. It's not the end of the world if I have to wait a week or so to get my phone. Part of the fun is the anticipation. While I wish I was getting my phone today, I've moved on to wondering just when it will come... next few days or will it actually ship on the 23rd? Cue suspense music.

Haha, I would never. My girlfriend knows how nuts I am with my Apple products. She's like maybe you should just leave it in the hotel all week.
 
Curious, see some of you got overnight expedited shipping, mine is 2 day fedex... What did you have to do to get that, and how much did it cost? ...I know it's too late for me now, but next year I would like to know.

I didn't do anything special to get it. That's just what it came with.
 
Waste of time, I know, but I chatted with a rep a second ago. They said no one is getting there phone earlier than 9/23 (if that is ship date) and that 9/23 is the ship date (not deliver by) and I will likely receive it on 9/27. I am hoping she doesn't know what she is talking about.
 
just walked into a corporate Verizon store the guy says i was the first one to walk through the door. i got excited until he said they have NO plus's in any color lol guess ill be waiting until the 28th.

Crazy that Apple couldn't produce enough supply for demand. They could have made a surplus before launch and everyone would have got their phones, everyone would be happy. I've seen a bunch of stoners that run companies be more time efficient with product delivery and management.
 
i just wish i knew more tracking info...got charged yesterday evening, see that it was sent to a courier( doesn't say which) and that's all i got. i just wanna know when to expect it so i can plan accordingly.
