Not really an unfair advantage. Just some colors and storage options sold faster than others. They also had less stock of some variations *cough*Jet Black*cough*

That's not really what I was referring to, but rather that many like me couldn't even connect to the store until 10 minutes had already passed. Those who got in right away had an unfair advantage since we were all trying our best to connect.in this day and age there's no excuse for Apple not to have had the capacity to meet the load.

How many minutes after preorders opened did you get yours in? Some people seem to have gotten an unfair advantage.
The order numbers do not matter because I had two orders and the first was W57 and the second was W53.

I know the order numbers are unrelated to ship date but I'm sure the actual time your order went in does. The order numbers probably don't correlate to the time of the order.

may seem like a dumb question...but if you're ordering the phone from the apple website...the phone is unlocked right?
It depends on how you purchased it. Contract phones are locked except Verizon. Apple's upgrade program all phones are unlocked as is cash payment.

The Apple store did not load for me until around 3:10. Then when ordering it attached to the wrong number. My orders went in at 3:25 and 3:28. The 256GB 7+ Jet Black says 10-18 to 10-31 which better come the week prior because I have a vacation and the 128GB 7+ Rose Gold says 9-27 to 9-29. Both were AT&T.

Seems as though they are pushing most of those black ones out fast. My rose gold 256GB 7+ is still "processing". No charges yet. 9/16 delivery date. Those of us who are still in processing but have a 9/16 delivery date probably already have phones that are stateside. I'm predicting they will ship Sunday or Monday. Maybe even later.
