Looks like there's a way to view hidden information about your iPhone 7 pre-order! (Sorry, this only works if you placed a pre-order through Verizon.)

Note: These directions are for Chrome, but it should work similarly in other browsers.

  1. Go to My Orders on Verizon's website. (https://ebillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/secure/orderhistory/myorders-overview.action#/getorders)

  2. Open the Developer Tools (F12 for Windows, or command+option+I for macOS).

  3. Enable XMLHttpRequests logging in the Console (Menu > Settings > Log XMLHttpRequests).

  4. Switch to the Network tab in the Console, and click on XHR. Reload the page.

  5. Once the page is reloaded, you should see myorders-overview-json.action in the console. Click on it. Here's where all of your order information is stored! You can open up orders, 0, shipments, then 0. Here, you'll be able to see information such as courier, shipmentDate, shipmentSpeed, and trackingNumber.
(This seems to be a GET request, so if you know of an easier way to access this information, please share!)

Interesting. Thanks for this...hopefully it'll come in use very soon...shows nothing for me right now. :(
You're quite welcome.

There's not much showing for me either. :( But, as we get closer to launch date, hopefully there will be more information there that won't be available on the webpage!
