OK, question ordered JB 7+ 128GB AT&T and it has held steady at "ships" November. I ordered within 2 minutes of the site opening. Should I cancel and fight the mobs on Friday for hopefully a JB 7+ 128GB or just drink some concrete and harden up hoping that it ships ALOT earlier that whats posted.

It just kills me to see how many people have a preparing to ship status and are freaking out that they're not going to get their phone. I mean, more power to anyone who's on the edge of their seat, as I know we all are. It's just that the idea that I placed my order on the ninth for a 7+ 128 GB black is still sitting on processing items sucks pretty bad considering I have no idea whatsoever what is going on with my iPhone and if it will be delivered sooner than this 2 to 3 week window. If you have a preparing to ship status, or if you have already received a tracking number, I'm not saying you should calm down and get rid of the excitement, I'm saying feel happy. There are a butt ton of us that don't even have a clue as to what's going on with our device.

As a sidenote, not that anyone is going to reply to this as we are all buried in our own questions and concerns, I signed up for UPS my choice and was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of options I have to alter my shipment. One thing, how long do I need to wait and at what order status should I be searching for my tracking number? Yes, my shipment is just in the processing items stage, but I would like to know how to find my tracking number as soon as possible. If anyone's willing to help
Every year I get extremely excited for the iPhone, place my order way too late, and end up waiting until the middle of October to get my phone. This year I stayed up until midnight, got screwed over by not having my Next payments prepaid for the launch, finally got that taken care of and got to the order screen on the apple app around 2 AM Pacific time. Even with all the trouble, I figured that because I ordered within the first 2 hours I would get a nice surprise with my shipping estimates. No such luck. I'm not upset and or freaking out about it, my 6s+ plus works great. I guess I just want to join in the excitement that everyone Who knows what's going on with your phone is experiencing. LOL

You ordered an hour and 45 minutes after me and you have closer delivery date than I do.

My iPhone 7 Plus 256GB Black is already in the United States and should be in the lower 48 in the next day. I already set up an address change to have it shipped to my work. Still showing same delivery date as the 16th

My wife going in for c section Friday. Too bad I have to wait for my phone. It's our 3rd kid so no biggie. I'll get there when I get there but rather have the new phone to take better pics of the little guy.
Enjoy your new iPhone cause when the 3 kids hit college age no more new toys of any kind for you!!!!

Yeah same here. Either our phones weren't scanned onto the AK flight and will hopefully show up when the flight to Louisville leaves or I bet we won't leave Hong Kong until the flight that's like 12 hours from now.
Looks like the next flight to Louisville leaves at about 6pm CDT so hopefully those of us who appear to be stuck in Hong Kong will see an update around that time. It's the next stop for flight 63.

OK
Have you seen a charge yet? I found my tracking via UPS reference number, as my phone number. The phone is in my support profile but I have yet to see a charge on my card yet. Thanks!
Yes I was charged this morning, phone is in support profile was able to track by serial number.

I thought my phone was leaving China this morning, only to get an arrival scan at the same place minutes later, anyone knows what could be happening with my shipment?

Im stuck in Hong Kong, too. Its been there for about 14 hours. I figured we would see an Alaskan update by now, but are you suggesting that we won't?

What I mean is, sometimes the departure scan isn't noted for whatever reason at ups. So it's possible we were on the flight to Alaska but tracking wasn't updated. The next leg of flight 63 is to Louisville and departs in about 40 minutes or so, and I am hoping we will get a tracking update then saying we departed Anchorage.

Fingers crossed.

That was 3a.m EST. I thought sleeping was more important. Now I figure out I was WRONG!!!
WRONG!!!!! T T

If you search around a bit, you will find this person's claim to not only *not* apply in this case, but for many who are damn near experts at getting these devices, Apple's inconsistency and the carriers utter failure to have orders go smoothly make his trite one liner of "First minute, my friend. That's the key." to be absolute grade A BULL__IT!!

Serious, Serious BULL#&$%! I'm getting closer and closer to canceling my order and getting a phone next year WELL after the pre-order dance.

I tried that a couple years ago. Problem is there is no way to know if they will have any to begin with. My verizon store had a couple 6+s and that was it. You have to (literally) be one of the first in line to have a shot. I was 19th and they were gone by the 5th person. Anyway, based on my experience I just figure it will ship sooner and put it out of my mind.
