Call Apple

but they ask you to enter your post code when you are looking up by reference number, so that doesn't double up

It came using order minus two only. Probably someone else's but i can only hope!

I ordered here in Australia at :08 Jet Black 128Gb Iphone 7 and got a deliver window of 21Sept-28Sept. My status has just changed to "preparing for shipping" and my credit card has just been charged. I'm hoping for an early delivery, maybe even Monday ?

In the same boat except not in Australia. I'm thinking maybe by Wednesday

If it gets him views, he'll try to bend anything. Can't blame him, but it got a little old after a while. I'm sure he and everyone else on YouTube will have a field day scratching up the Jet Black.

Yeah makes sense, imma fan of android and Apple devices but when you tubers do things like that for views i unsubscribe.

Is unboxtherapy going to try and bend this iPhone too?

He can try whatever he wants to.. after i got mine

If you call ups they'll tell you

What do you mean by "order number minus two"? Are you dropping the last two digits

Let's share some crazy release day stories:

When the 3GS came out, I was going to be in Vegas for the release, so I pre-ordered and had it shipped to my hotel (I think Bally's). Since I had used my wife's upgrade (and she was flying to Vegas the next night due to work conflicts), I couldn't actually activate the phone until she arrived, or else it would de-activate hers (you had to activate your phone with the number it was sold to, then you could swap SIM cards).

For the 4, my phone was delivered a day early (6/23 instead of 6/24), so that was kind of fun. Only time that ever happened to me.

When the 6 came out, I was going to be at a rental beach house, and by then they got smart and only let you ship to your AT&T billing address (assuming you had AT&T, of course), so, knowing that, I changed my billing address to the address of the rental house on the AT&T site, placed my order, then, after the phone had shipped, I set my address back to my actual address on the AT&T site.

Looking back, any number of things (shipping delays, mostly) could have really messed up plans.

Anyone else have any launch day stories to share?

For my 5s I camped out the night for 6 hours in the cold (the release day in my country was the 25th October) with a flu and fever. It was a nightmare, but worth it.

Same here. I like original stuff, not pandering. I know they have to make a living but you don't see MKBHD bending everything. I like both Android and Apple and use both all the time. I'm posting from my S7 edge now, but being the family "tech support" I've kept everyone on iPhones. Much easier for me and them too.

Mine left KY at 1:35 PM and I'm in PA outside Philly. Usually heads to Horsham. If it's on a truck, that's a good 10 hour drive. We probably won't see an update for a little while yet.

I'm out Philly too and Horsham should be my delivery

My dad Camped out for the 5s at my local AT&T what he recalled lines was short and mostly the people in line where for the 5c
