iPhone 7/7+ Apple.com Pre-Order Thread

[r0k]

Got mine this morning at 931am. I had to wait until I got off from work to pick it up. Upgrading was VERY PAINFUL. Itunes was DOWN for almost an hour and I kept getting rapid-fire itunes login credential demands. I even tried software update on my Mac mini and it said the App store was down too so I know it was Apple's end not my wifi, router or even Comcast. Finally my phone got through to the App store and while I went for a run the apps downloaded and reappeared. By the time I got home roughly an hour later there were only a handful of apps still needing to download but the period when iTunes and the App Store seemed to be DOWN was VERY FRUSTRATING. I spent about half an hour on the phone with Apple support and they said there was no outage that they knew of. Yeah right.

Another bummer is I' out another 40 bucks for a new case. I tried my Apple iPhone 6 leather case and it blocks the camera and half the flash. Darn.

I ordered a 7+ Jet Black 256gb. Have a date of delivery date of 9/26-10/03. Changed to Preparing for Shipment last night. Anyone else for those dates seeing anything different?

Same model, my window is the 21st-28th still processing. Lucky me.

 

[badazz33]

anyone else phone chilling in lap

I'm there too! Exact same time too with a delivery scheduled this Monday the 19th in Florida.

Wonder how long it'll sit there... It is the morning now in China/HK so maybe it'll move soon.

im in Mobile, Alabama...hopefully our phones take the same route...and FAST

My phone has arrived Haven't opened it yet because I will have to do set up using my cousins wifi. Live in an area where we have to use a hotspot 5 gigs $50. Would cost a fortune. That's okay and now my 14 year old granddaughter will have my 6 to replace her 5. I have really enjoyed this forum. I am on Iup so I will be back next year. I must say Apple was so much better than Best Buy or att. Even the forum was better. Good luck to all with your new phones. Apple 4ever.

Where are all my 10/4-10/10 all hope is lost people at?!?!

Still losing hope as we speak. But chances are we'll get our phones next week once all the inventory is sorted out because of the people who cancelled if they went to the stores today to get their phones.

What number did you call? I just called the ups number and all he said is it's coming tomorrow and has no further information. Sigh

I called the 1-800-742-5877 number and asked to be connected with someone at my nearest Customer Center. They said that they are they are the only ones that talk to the CC people. So I asked the agent if they could tell me exactly where my apackage is since it's unavailable on my end and it was supposed to be picked up today. He called them and told me that the package was in fact there. When you call ask can they contact your nearest Customer Center to locate your package.

I'm in the "still in Louisville" crowd. Driver just showed up with my wife's phone but not mine! =\

No upgrade to Saturday delivery, it still says it is going to come today, but UPS says it is still in Louisville and have no idea when it will show up. The driver checked and he definitely didn't have it, so guess it'll get here Monday.

Took the day off work for it too. *sigh*

 

[Sirobin]

5 PM Pacific and still no UPS truck! I know it’ll be here in the next hour or two, but the wait is killing me haha.

 

[tqmcguire]

Maybe you can check this for me I don't have another iPhone 7 to compare

I just tested it with mine and it vibrates. Tiny tap each time I turned wifi or Bluetooth on and off.

On another note my spigen jet black armor case that wasn't supposed to ship til the 23rd is on its way as of yesterday. Now how to get near an Apple Store to have a glass screen protector put on. I think I need an appointment but that isn't easy anymore at all. Odd when Ups delivered he said I was only the second delivery on the island. Seems odd.

She's a beauty. A shiny, shiny beauty.

Is that the jet?

 

[sadude39]

I have the same status on mine.

I also am in the same boat as you, with same specs. No movement at all today. Nothing on UPS, nothing in my support profile, and still on "Preparing for shipment." I am hoping it will ship by Monday.

 

[trauma62]

Exactly the same situation here. Matte Black 7+ 256GB AT&T, confirmation 12:08 AM PDT. Amazing that ordering 8 minutes after the store opened didn't snag me a launch device!

I started my order at 3:02 EST/ Initially when I put the phone in the bag said delivers 9/16 . by the time I finished the application for the upgrade program the date has slipped to 9/27.Go figure. I assumed once you put it in the bag your date is secured , well not that fast.
[doublepost=1474071691][/doublepost]

Received my matte black 7 128 GB and my wife's rose gold 7+ 128 GB at 3 pm today from FedEx (ordered at 8 am CT on 9/9). No charges have been charged to my bank. Activating now.

ON THE HOUSE!!!

I know; it's just incredibly maddening. Like, I have stuff to do! I had stuff to do today and have stuff to do tomorrow as well, but because I live by myself, I'm having to sit here, staring out the front window for hours on end instead. Total first-world problem, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. Sigh.

Mine was finally delivered at 7:55 pm! You? The driver didn't dawdle, so I am sure he had more to deliver!

It's 7:25 here in Texas and no phone yet... Been on the truck since 4:55 am according to tracking. On hold with UPS for last 30 minutes waiting to talk to someone to hear if it will be delivered today.

Same state. They told I might see it next week. When I said that was unacceptable because I have to sign for the package, they passed me to international customer service. Never got through. I get that delays will happen but right now, my package is missing.

 

[rarebeauty]

Problem is, the site doesn't provide jack for info. I wish it said either "we lost your package" or "we forgot to put it on the plane". Information unavailable is just lazy. I don't even have a message like others saying, "upgraded to Saturday delivery ".

Did you request to have yours held at your local hub? I'm asking because I did and I didn't have any info as far as "updated to Saturday delivery". Now that I think about it, I may call back and see if I can have my package delivered instead of being held for pick up.

 

[tqmcguire]

Is that the jet?

Yes it is. I like it. Not nearly as slippery as I thought. It's not bad at all.

Nope. Haven't made any changes to delivery. May end up having to go the Missing Package route. Fun.

I dont know whats worse, using the galaxy to take the picture or the jet black .

I hope you like it, are you running it naked?

Still nothing. I figured I'd give them till 9 pm and then give UPS a call and find out if I was going to get bumped to tomorrow or what. Fingers crossed that won't be an issue! Glad yours finally came!

My wife met the driver at the truck to sign for it, and I doubt he was at the curb more than like two minutes and off to the next delivery.

West Hollywood still waiting at 5:40pm.

Good luck. They can't see any more information than you can when pulling up tracking info. At best, you can have them contact your local hub, if they're open this late or on Saturday.
