WoW!! That was fast. That's awesome
What Carrier? You know, I don't mind the waiting (5 weeks here), what is frustrating is apple can not give you any more information other than what is found on their website. I called apple customer care on Tuesday and expressed my frustration that no one was able to give me any more info. I was transferred to another department who supposedly was able to look further into my order. I left a message and have not heard back. I called customer care again yesterday, and I was told that I was not supposed to be transferred to that department and that I would need to be patient. I believe I have been patient, just looking for more info. I don't want to be surprised after 6 weeks that there is a problem with my order and now I will have to wait 7 or 8 weeks.

Is UPS telling you it's in South Korea?
I've no tracking information while it's in Asia. My DHL tracking won't kick in and update until it arrives in Europe. It's currently somewhere in Asia... no idea what country though.
It was surprising how fast the status has changed. And I've also seen more availability in the 7+ in local Apple Stores. For some odd reason the Targets in my area always seem to have the iPhone 7+ in stock.

I'm on AT&T. Yeah it makes me feel slightly guilty that mine's is moving so quickly through the system when others (like you) have been waiting for so long. I guess it boils down to luck with orders this year. As of right now though I'm still on "Preparing for Shipment". Hopefully it's not too much longer before it gets shipped!
Oh do not feel guilty at all. I am thrilled for you.
Speaking of luck.....I found an Apple store near me that just received a shipment of 7+ JB 128gb. I immediately reserved one for purchase. Went down, picked it up, activated it and I am good to go. As soon as I got home, I applied my skin. I started with a slick wrap. That did not go well. In my opinion, SW's suck. So instead I went to my tried and true Best Skins Ever. This went on perfectly. I got a flawless install, no bubbles, no corners lifting. For me, really no reason to try anything else because in my opinion BSE is fantastic. I do have a lengthy method of applying a skin which really works for me.
I am now setting up my phone and I love it!!! I am so glad I chose JB.
No case ?
LOL....I sure do.....I have a Ringke fusion case. The one with the piano black number and clear plastic back.
I get the Otterbox Symmetry clear case and Tech Armor Corning Ballistic Glass Screen Protector,which arrived broken.
Ouch ouch ouch!!!I get the Otterbox Symmetry clear case and Tech Armor Corning Ballistic Glass Screen Protector,which arrived broken.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Still waiting on mine to enter Europe. Should be another few days!
Our patience has served us well!
Thanks
Looking forward to knowing you have yours in hand I was looking at the switch easy glass case. Its not cheap at 44.99. Worried that after a good fall, the glass back will shatter or crack. I like the idea that there is a 1mm gap between the glass and the iPhone so nothing can rub and scratch the back.

I have no expereince with this case, but from a quick sec of "googling", it seems like a solid case.
I plan on buying AppleCare+ once my phone arrives. I think it's totally necessary simply because they offer accidental damage cover, and it's only around 40Eur to have a screen repaired. It's essential when you're buying a phone worth 1029EUR. You don't want to pay all that and be stuck with a cracked screen! ha... Some agree in buying AC+, some don't. I've always purchased it, and have never been disappointed!!
Arrival Estimate is still 08 DEC on my Apple Order. I'll be sure to let you know when it arrives! Thanks
Seems a solid enough case....just worked about dropping and shattering the back glass.
I purchased Applecare+ too. I always do. It has come in handy a few times, especially for my old iMac where I had to have the entire screen replaced. My current 5K iMac has a blown pixel that's I will need to have repaired. I am a firm believer in Applecare.
Bought the Matte Black iPhone 7 Plus 32GB.
So far no luck what so ever. Ordered it two weeks ago and it's tracked to be released on the 22th of December.
So far nothing..

Absolutely. AppleCare+ has saved me in the past. My MacBook Pro had 920EURO repairs completed in 2014. AppleCare saved me. I didn't have to pay a penny.
I forgot to purchase AppleCare on checkout, but I'll call the AC+ team next week and have it set up.
My iPhone has arrived in Amsterdam, The Netherlands... it flew from Hong Kong 2 nights ago and is finally in Europe. I think I SHOULD have it Monday... or Tuesday at latest!

What country are you in?
I'm in Ireland. Ordered 7 Plus 128gb Matte Black on 15 November. It is arriving this Monday (5 December)
Delivery estimate on my order was 9-16 December.
Ordered the 7 Plus 32GB Matte Black on the 29th of November. Says the estimated date is 22th of December... Any chance you think it can arrive early like it did to you?
Lisbon, Portugal.
I took the Plus version due to Battery and the extra RAM. I'm a really big power user.. on the Android side I use Nexus 6P and the Note 5.
No idea about Portugal except for Magellan (lol).
Hopefully you get your phone soon since Apple is already stocking their stores too.
Hang in there. It'll be worth the wait. Crossing my fingers for your new iPhone Plus.
Thanks!
Problem is my phones are dying on me hehe. Called Apple they said it will arrive on the 22th.
You should've went 128gb model. 32gb is nothing on the Plus models because the apps are slightly larger.
It's difficult to say if it will arrive early. As I said, I ordered 7 Plus 128gb on 15 November. It is out for delivery today. My shipping estimate was 2-3 weeks and it is now 2 weeks and 6 days. Although my delivery estimate was 9-16 Dec. It is arriving today, 5 December.
Order it, and possibly search your local stores. You can cancel the Apple order anytime. That's what I did. However, NO WHERE had any 7 Plus models within 350KM. I just had to wait.
I expect you will receive it around 15-20 Dec
Calling Apple in my opinion amounts to nothing but frustration. They can not tell you anything more or less than what their website reports which is the most frustrating part. And they won't inquire about your order until AFTER your delivery date is missed. I was waiting 5 weeks for my JB 7+ 128GB. I checked this website every day until I found one in a store that I could reserve. Then I cancelled my order with Apple.

Hang in there....you will get your phone.
I am loving 3D touch. Although I still believe it was a gimmick to sell the 6s, (we always had this function in the long press), I am loving the short cuts.
