This thread is really fun in September every year. My 7 JB 128g delivered today @3:22pm Arizona time but haven't open it yet. I just want to say Good Bye to everyone in this thread and see y'all next September.
Got a tip for us?

Congrats on the new phone. Some pics are always nice for those of us in waiting.
That is usually what happens when you order 2 days after they go on presale.....
There are people that ordered within 15 minutes of them opening for pre-orders that are still processing. You might be waiting a few more days before you see any movement there.
Congrats to all the happy Apple fans today!
For the quote, I'm curious as to what part of the country you're from-my phone is set for 9/23-9/27 and has been "Preparing for Shipment" since either late Wednesday or early Thursday and I ordered the same exact phone as you-a Black 7+ 256 AT&T. I sure hope it comes Monday!
I've got expedited shipping for free from apple (2:54:37 on the phone with them on 9/9)
So my "sob" story is that I ACTUALLY got right into the Apple Store app at 3:01am and got 99.9999% thru my original order for the same (Black 7+/256/GSM) phone all the way to the green "AGREE AND PLACE ORDER" button...
and then it FROZE-just kept spinning and spinning***
By the time I got BACK in, my ATT account was locked out of upgrades (2 attempts were met with error pop ups) for just long enough that:
A. I started losing it
and
B. By the time I FINALLY got my order completed at ~3:17am, I had no choice for store pickup and my only option on any phone I wanted was for delivery 9/23-9/27 so I'm hoping I'll see it M-T-W but again, it's been stuck in Preparing for Shipment for a long time and I've had no luck tracking by reference
My wife of course who "jammed up the interwebs" (see below) got her Black 7+ 128GB phone today :-/
***I'm thinking that it MAY have had something to do with my wife sitting across the table hitting refresh every 25 milliseconds (like the new ISP in the phones ;-p ) on her MacBook, iPad AND iPhone and constanly yelling at me "I can't get in!" and "IT'S NOT WORKING!"
It was legit a recipe for fail sauce.
Last check before I sign-off. As of 1:10 AM PST, status still says Import Scan. But it is still scheduled to be delivered on Saturday, 9/17.
See my pic above - the weather is crap. Hard to say if our flights will get out in time to make the local truck.
Mine has been updated again. Friday, Saturday and now moved to Monday delivery.

I got a 7+/256GB/Matt Black/AT&T. Confirmation email st 3:34 eastern. Moved to prepare to ship and CC was charged around 3pm Thursday. Showed up in my support profile yesterday morning around 10am. Nothing on ups at all, bummed. Was hoping for Monday delivery like the wife's. She has everything the same except hers was moved to PTS about an hour before mine.
Finally received an update from processing to preparing for shipment. Delivery date remains at 10/04-10/10.
I had 3 iPhones scheduled for oct 4-10. All jet black, 2 128 gb and 1 256 gb.
All Verizon unlocked.
Changed to preparing for shipment some time today.
Anyone know how much longer from this point?

Guys, it was great fun reading and posting in this thread. We went through typhoon, many many flights, guessing and tracking. It's virtually like waiting in line 9 years ago for the first iPhone!
I have 1 more jet black coming on Monday, currently in HK. I'm going to stick around until then.
Cheers, and good luck for those who are still here! Remember to post a picture before you leave!

I also ordered in HK online. Lucky you! Mine's coming on Sep. 28-Oct4. Can't bear the wait.
Edited/updated: Guess I speak too soon. Right after my venting post a departure scan pops up in UPS. So still on track for delivery today I hope.

Seems to be different for every person. Looking through the different threads, some people are going from PFS to shipped within a day and others are sitting in PFS for multiple days with no action. I am curious as to whether or not Apple is truly getting ready to ship these phones right now or if they are simply charging the cards well before being ready to ship just as a way to reserve the phones in their system. I have been in PFS now for about 27 hours or so without any movement. I was hoping it would ship today so I could maybe get it Monday or Tuesday, but at this point those of us still in PFS are probably looking at a best case scenario of Wednesday, at least in the US.
I did but just about every Apple Store from DC to NC only had 7s, no pluses...
Wow.
What I have read in many posts is that European countries usually have these iPhones in Europe or something like that. I will probably see mine being send from China or something like that... and it will be delivered maybe by the end of next week and yours will arrive through the week. Just to make you feel better, I am currently in Germany, so I will see my new phone till mid October.. Viel Glück!
Just checked UPS and it shows my 128GB JB 7 Plus on AT&T is in transit to UPS from ZhengZhou, China. Estimated delivery is Wednesday 9/21 by the end of the day. Let's hope this sticks since I am going out of town Thursday morning!
Wow.
I have the same dates & phone. I'm from France & my order is still at processing items. They seem to focus on the USA or smthg
