Thank you!
Don't worry, yours will ship soon!
Shipped direct from China? It's different here in Europe. All items are either sent from UK, or Germany.
Status changed to "Preparing for Shipping" about 4 hours ago, and payment was also taken.
Hope to receive before the weekend!

I ordered iPhone 7+ JB 128gb last October 21 and its status changed now to "preparing for shipment"
Yours will change soon
October 21? What!? What's your shipping address? Jupiter?
I just ordered mine 2 weeks ago, and today it changed to "Preparing for Shipment"
Wow, that's a painful wait.
Yes from China,you should receive the tracking soon.

Well all depends on color/size/carrier.
Somewhat true... I forgot about carrier availability.
In Europe, all iPhone's from Apple.com are unlocked. You don't choose a carrier on checkout. You just use what ever SIM you have!
I've been waiting since 10/26. Tomorrow makes 5 weeks exactly. Hopefully mine will be shipping very soon.

Awesome news
I ordered mine 5 days after you. If mine does not ship until next week, I would have waited the full 6 weeks for shipping.
Yours will come soon. Maybe its just a delay in their information updates and that your phone is in the 'preparing for shipment' already.
Thanks Mike!
I want to know now how long does it usually take from preparing for shipment to shipped item. Was your iPhone shipped from china too? How long did it take to arrive at your doorstep?
Still preparing for shipping after 12 hours here. I've read it can take up to 3-4 days to depart Apple and change to Shipped/ Dispatched.
So, is it a fair statement to say that I got lucky? Just a 2 week wait for matte black iPhone 7+ 128gb?
My order status have changed now to "shipped" after 8 hours of "preparing for shipment".
My iPhone 7 Plus has just shipped! After 14 hours in "Preparing for Shipment"...
Now the fun begins!
Mine is also December 8! But I doubt it will take that long. I expect it to arrive tomorrow or Friday. It only needs to travel 60 miles across the Irish Sea from the U.K.
Awesome News guys, I am so happy for you. My wife's Rose gold 128gb took 3 weeks to go to preparing to ship. Then it was 4 hours before it moved to shiped. Apple said estimated delivery was 12/05, but UPS confirmed that she would receive it 12/2.

Ordered in September? Wow... I ordered the exact same phone (7+ 128 Black) from Apple.ie on 15 November and it dispatched yesterday!
[doublepost=1480527383][/doublepost]Still no update on my tracking... it's being delivered by DHL. No tracking information since it shipped!
DHL doesn't recognise the tracking number. Hopefully an update tonight.
Delivery estimate is 8 December, so something tells me it's coming from China directly which would be a first for me!
Small update: After speaking with Apple, it's looking like my iPhone is being shipped as part of a bulk order from China. They will be shipped China => Luxembourg => U.K. => Ireland, so this is why I'm getting a delivery estimate of December 8th.
Yet more waiting! I pray I don't have a defective phone upon arrival.
A couple of years ago on the first iPad mini release, my brand new iPad mini had a dead LED in the display. After sending back to Apple, waiting, and then also due to demand, it was another 4 weeks of waiting before I received a replacement unit.

She will get it on 12/2. The question is what time during the day. Happy happy.
[doublepost=1480558759][/doublepost]
Your are definitely lucky as compared to others.
[doublepost=1480558916][/doublepost]
Ouch, still on the processing stage for your phone?
[doublepost=1480559114][/doublepost]
Enjoy your new iPhone soon. Congrats in advance.
