Good question, and not to add any salt, but this afternoon I received the AppleCare+ Proof of Coverage email.

Maybe this has been covered, but now that my iPhone is on the move, I noticed on the UPS map, which I chose to embiggen with two fingers on an iPad, that ZhengZhou, China does not appear to have an airport, but a lot of train tracks. Maybe explains the "lost" days in China that some iPhones experience.
Korea already! Maybe someone in China has the trains running on time.

Apple is telling me that my iPhone will ship 6 weeks from my original order date of September 19, but they deny that 6 weeks have passed since September 19. What is happening that's causing my order to take longer than those placed days after mine?

I ordered 6 days before you and my phone is delivering today. I've had tracking info for 6 days so I'm assuming you'll get something soon. If it takes the same shipping time as mine, you'd have it Wednesday the 9th. Mine originally said ships November, then it switched to "ships in 6 weeks, November 18th" a couple days later (which was more like two months than six weeks)

Mine is currently sitting at UPS waiting for me to pick it up. Amazing how in a matter of less than 24 hours, it went from South Korea to my little town in the midwest.
That's what I'm saying! And my town is even further from Louisville AND they just delivered it to my work. I'm kinda scared to open it hahaha

Right, mine has also said November 18th for a while. I was under the assumption that all the November 18th batch would hit shipping at the same time. It's curious why they haven't, including some ordered after mine.

I ordered a 7 JB 128GB on the 14th of October and it changed to Preparing for Shipment last night.

Has anyone else ordered the same model? Seems like most people here went for the +.

I don't see how it'll be delivered on time. I chatted with Apple and they told me it'll be delivered on the 4th instead, even though UPS still shows nothing.

UPS99 flight: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=UPS99+flight&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#q=flight+ups99

Still hasn't left Korea.
Has UPS updated your tracking since yesterday? Mine is still the same and I'm waiting for a rescheduled delivery date.

Nope. And now my wife's black 7 plus (which was supposed to be delivered tomorrow) is stuck in Korea too.

Mine:


What is even more frustrating aside from having no clue the location of the package is that many stores over the past two days have got in inventory of the plus models which I could have easily walked in and purchased. Unfortunately I can't cancel my order because it has a shipped status already.

I can't believe that people who ordered the same model as me, but several days later have tracking numbers, while I'm still waiting...
I honestly think you guys are better finding it at 3rd party retailers and apple stores. I ordered my 7+ on sept 16 and got it oct 1. I imagine by now everyone would be getting theirs soon.

Mine has somehow now left Anchorage. Yay! I still don't have a delivery date. I'm hoping I don't wake up tomorrow and it's back in Korea.

I already have a 7 that I got on release day, but want to try out the 7 plus since my son uses my iPad now. My wife just ordered her 7 plus last week. So I'm not so much annoyed that I've had to wait long, what's annoying is getting zero information from UPS or Apple on the delay.

I'm in NYC. None of the Apple Stores in Manhattan have gotten stock that's lasted more than a few minutes. I spoke with someone at the Grand Central store who said they have a constant stream of people asking about new stock. The Best Buy and ATT stores in my neighborhood have also gotten nothing. There's really been no way to get a JB 256GB 7+ other than waiting.

Looks like two UPS flights heading out of Korea for Alaska within the next hour and a half. Hopefully we start to see some actual updates for those that seem to be stuck there.

Sounds like the MB one is at more of a premium than JB. I ordered October 13, still nothing.

*EDIT*
I'm an idiot. You said you bought a 7.

I assume there are several of us that have very similar tracking updates. My update this morning says that "Clearance Completed" so I hope our phones are on one of the planes leaving soon.

[doublepost=1478266130][/doublepost]I ordered September 10th, 128GB JB for what it's worth.

I got the same update. It still says that it was not loaded on the plane. :-(
