For all those asking if previous deliveries with post-launch dates ever arrived earlier - I just checked my emails back from September 2014 when I got the iPhone 6 Plus from Apple.com. I received the confirmation email on Sep. 12th, 22 minutes after the preorders started with a delivery date of October 1st - 6th. I received my shipping notification email on Sep. 19th with a delivery date of Sep. 24th - a week earlier than the initial estimate.
Here's hoping this happens again with my jet black 7+ order and the Oct. 4th date it currently has.
