I am guessing the same. Not sure when overnight it went to preparing for shipping but like you no tracking by refereence, only phones in apple profile are the two I bought directly but my last two (6 and 6s Plus) I got from AT&T and they are not there. I put square on them because I could not find way to get Apple Care on them so not really on plan. Nothing using order minus last two numbers or my cell number works like you. So hoping that it just means it is ready for movement here in US wherever they had the silver 7 Plus's at 256 GB.eh, not really. mine's still 'preparing for shipment' and nothing in support profile and no tracking info when i use my order number or phone number (delivery date of 9/16). i think mine is already stateside so that's why but just wanted to mention that 'preparing for shipment' doesn't always mean it's entered into UPS system b/c it's def not the case for me.
My black 128gb iPhone 7 is still prepping for shipment, but my black leather case has shipped! arriving on Wed.
Proof
what info did you use? phone number, order number?Its a weird tracking because it doesn't allow me to get notifications, plus it has no shipping data other than what you see below.
I am guessing that it is linked to my order number, but it isn't "officially" shipping to me yet, but part of the bulk shipment till they are sure they are going to give it to me.
Also, I don't live near Lawrenceville, but I am guessing that is a hub after Alaska.

I cant track at all and mine says delivers September 16th.what info did you use? phone number, order number?
Same here, though I ordered a 256GB rose gold 7+. I hate when they originate stateside...I miss all of the fun of tracking. Last year, my RG came from China (new color) and the year before, mine started off in the US (gold 128GB 6+). For all of the other years (every year since the 3GS), they came from overseas, though I don't think I obsessively tracked until the 4S.Aha! Seems to me that the more popular colors this year (jet black/black) are the ones mostly being shipped from the China. I think most of the other colors are already stateside. I ordered a rose gold 7+ 256GB. I can't wait until Friday!
how/what info is required to track via UPS reference? thanks.Looks like I am on UPS99 right now based on time of scan and departure!
I put nothing over than the order number minus the last two digits. If I put in the other information such as Zip, it doesn't work.what info did you use? phone number, order number?
I am sure it's buried in all these threads somewhere but how do we find the UPS trick? Mine is still in processing with a 2-3 week ship date.Wow, I now feel like I am part of the party now. I ordered a Plus Jet Black 14 past midnight, but my status hasn't changed from expected delivery on Sept 26th and I am still processing. I have been reading all of your comments about tracking your phones progress and I was hear thinking I wasn't going to get it on release day.
I just tried the UPS reference number trick and it turns out its "On-time for the 16th and left Suzhou, China", although it doesn't have any information.
how/what info is required to track via UPS reference? thanks.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks againeither your order number minus the last 2 digits or your phone number
LOL Mine changed back to processing yesterday, and I was on pins and needles all day long, then it changed back this am. Whew! I knew it didn't mean anything, but jeez.well at least your order status is changing @mizmimi02 @dantracht
My order status hasn't changed at all, lol!
I'm still sitting in ZhengZhou.Looks like I am on UPS99 right now based on time of scan and departure!
I'm sad I missed out on that this year also . That's the fun part! I've been pre-ordering since the 5 and this is the first year that I haven't been able to track my shipment from China. That's probably due to me always buying the most popular colors lol. This year I stuck with the Rose gold. I liked it pretty well on the 6S and I love anything that resembles pink .Same here, though I ordered a 256GB rose gold 7+. I hate when they originate stateside...I miss all of the fun of tracking. Last year, my RG came from China (new color) and the year before, mine started off in the US (gold 128GB 6+). For all of the other years (every year since the 3GS), they came from overseas, though I don't think I obsessively tracked until the 4S.
Rose gold + 128 went from preparing to ship back to processing.
