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

[First Post G]

Is the departure scan out of AK at 3:04 for sure a Louisville flight? I'm in SoCal and I thought I remembered someone saying there is a AK-San Diego flight too. Just wondering...

Either way, I'm guessing tomorrow it is right?

All phones must go through Louisville. Stinks!

I would term this whole buying process as "tormenting". First Apple screwed up when I tried to enroll in the upgrade program and I couldnt. In the process, I wasted time and the phones had slipped to a delivery of 9/23, not to mention apple's website didn't load for the first 9-10 mins.

I finally decided to pay in full and got a delivery estimate of 4/10-10/10. Later, I thought ill queue up on 16th to get one and cancel this order, but Apple proudly announced that they are out of stock for walk ins on launch day.

Friday, I finally had a happy moment when I saw charges on my card and the status changed to "Preparing for shipment" eventually shipping on Monday. I was excited to see that I will have the phone on Wednesday, as per UPS tracking.

But UPS showed up like "Not so soon, my dear".

I am right now super mad at UPS. I called them earlier today only to be juggled across 7 different reps for 40 mins, getting the standard BS response. I am sick of it.

I have reached a point of saturation. This is a criminal waste of time and effort for just a phone.
My blood boils when I get reminded that I am paying money to go thro all this ! Have no more words to describe!

What a mess, your situation is crazy! I can't believe it. Which phone did you get by the way?

Mine is on the 3:04 flight from AK

I was originally scheduled to receive on the 09/29-10/03 and was happy when the schedule was bumped. Tracking and getting here has been a bit odd but oh well. Not the end of times.

The most interesting thing to me is that I ordered mine on 09/13 around 3PME.

iPhone 7+ 256 black

Good luck to all. Hope to receive mine tomorrow.

Ahhh "Phoenix, AZ, United States 09/21/2016 5:00 P.M. Arrival Scan"

I can now stop refreshing UPS' website till tomorrow morning lol.

I live in Tucson. I will be receiving mine tomorrow too.

All of this, only for the JB 128GB 7+. I saw the black and jet black at the store ! Both look gorgeous. However, I couldn't take my eyes off the JB. That's the only solace ! LOL

How about you? Where is yours getting delivered?

I ordered an AT&T iPhone 7 with my wife's number from our account but I want to use my number instead in the phone activation. I thought I could just put in my sim card and fire up the iPhone 7 but it's asking to activate with her number and the sim that was sent with the iPhone 7.

Any suggestions?

I'm probably going to return this phone because I don't want a model that is incompatible with CDMA.

ATT Black iPhone 7 Pluss 128gb preordered on 9/9 at 9:30am. Delivery 10/4-10/10 still processing. Hoping it ships soon.

 

[cbigfoot1987]

final check in here but my 7+ that was ordered on 9/9/16 at 2:15AM
its the Gold iphone 7+ 128GB ATT from apple
got delivered today at 4:30PM CST today

 

[rubdom]

My phone is supposed to be delivered tomorrow but still hasnt seemed to move from ZhengZhou china. No chance at a delivery I'm assuming unless as some have said, maybe they never scanned for the departure. Anyone else have their phone say scheduled delivery for tomorrow but still stuck in china?

Same here. I was in PFS for 6 days and now this. I leave for London tomorrow for 2 weeks and won't have my phone. Worst iPhone launch ever.

 

[jmantn]

My 128 gb + att did the same u turn in China. Received the first tracking email sat for mon delivery but delayed until today and has arrived. It even changed to "no information" at one point this morning making me think it would delay again.

Now I wait for the phone ordered through sprint. That thread's way worse than this one.

Oh wow well that's good to know! Thanks for the reply

I blame this woman for the preorder mess

 

[Lifesuxsbad]

I have all but given up on mine...don't even care anymore.

 

[darknyt]

"Delivery attempted 9:43" today. BS of course. 3 adults within 20 feet of door. No knock. Just slapped note on door. Now I gotta drive to hub tonight cuz def can't trust dude to actually knock.

Picked mine up at UPS store tonight. Hope it's over now, havent even opened the UPS box. 7+ 256gb, black. Hopefully.

Knock on wood.

Anyone else with 10/4 - 10/10 delivery have any movement? Ordered 128 Jet Black - T-mobile on 9/9 @ 12:14 am. pacific time.

I apologize if this has been posted here before, but am wanting your all's opinions/theories.

So, my iPhone 7+ Black 128GB was set to come in Oct. 4 - Oct. 10.

-Got an email this weekend saying it was coming on September 21st (from UPS) September 23rd (from Apple)
-So then UPS bumped my delivery date back to September 22nd.
-Now I don't even have a date anymore... what the hell happened?

My phone is on the exact same routing as yours. I'm hoping for change overnight.

Based on the next flight out of Incheon, South Korea I am guessing it will go on a morning flight (for the USA) on UPS99:
