Well, there's definitely only one answer that you're looking for here and I completely understand! Ha! In all honesty, I've been in the same situation for the past two launches (even if you are refreshing your browser/app right at launch, you still stand little chance of getting a true launch day phone). I will say, both times I did receive my phone a few days ahead of what was quoted. I wouldn't expect a full week earlier or anything like that, but I would say there's definitely a chance it shows up early. Nonetheless, I don't work for Apple of course and am just speaking from personal experience. Good luck!
Does anyone have a Jet Black 7+ that is preparing to ship? I'm still processing. It always takes my orders FOREVER to change.
Processing - basically they got your order number and it's in the queue for fulfillment
Preparing for Shipment - Order is being officially charged to your CC, picked, packed, and yes, label printed.
Shipped - well...shipped, lol, you'll have tracking information at this point.
Delivered - the climax of it all, the moment we're all waiting for...hopefully before October in my case ;-)
Same here. I ordered a 128GB Jet Black 7+ on T-Mobile at 12:09 PST with a ship date of Oct 4-10. It still shows processing
We have identical orders but mine went through at 12:03AM PST. I got the same delivery window
Pretty much what I thought. This is super nerdy, but I would love to see a documentary about this whole process. Production, preorder prep logistics and bandwidth/server capacity, order fulfillment, shipping logistics. I mean think about it, MILLIONS of people are ordering these devices within seconds/minutes/hours of each other. That it even works at all is an herculean achievement of the modern age.
Just placed my order. Im moving up to a 7 plus 128gb black, and it looks like Im waiting till early october for my phone.
See that irks me. I mean no offense but I ordered about 5 minutes after I could get into the store, like 2:15am central time. Ordered the same phone and got Oct 4 - 10 date.
The pluses still show November, but hopefully this is a good sign across the board.
I've heard of people getting their preorders delivered early, but Jet Black seems to be in high demand this year. Hopefully it comes in soon; I'm excited for my first iPhone
Ordered the same phone as you mine still says 9/16 and preparing to ship I got my email at 2:09am CSTSAMEwhat time did you place your order? and what model? i got 7+ 32gb Black ATT
It was the 16th in the email confirmation and on the web, the next day it displayed 21st, now it's back to the 16th
Absolutely! Haha, would be cool if they followed one random phone from production all the way to the customer's door step and maybe even that random person's review of the process, using the phone once they have it for a week, etc.
Pre-ordered the Jet Black iPhone 7 128gb at full price. What are the chances I can get a refund and opt into Apple's Upgrade Program?
Typically, I buy the phone at full price and sell the only one year-old phone on eBay. Generally, this results in me paying $300/yr for a new iPhone. However, with Apple's Upgrade Program I could get AppleCare and spend roughly $430/yr for a new iPhone. Sure, the result is the same year after year if I just bought AppleCare with the phone when I buy it at full price ($300 + $129 for AppleCare). But, the Upgrade program would save me the hassle of selling my old phone for the same result.

Which carrier did you purchase? I got the same thing for T-Mobile, details are in my sig but I'm behind you by a couple weeks?
Only the 7. The 7 Plus still says November
Actually most of the 7 Pluses now saw 2 to 3 weeks on Apple.com (except jet black)
I think many of the dates overall were WAY overestimated if they are still ship in 2 to 3 weeks 2 days later now.
I would never do the iPhone Upgrade Program especially now that this year sucked for them. Very few of the upgrade program's users could get a phone on launch day or even now for a few months after because they couldn't get a store appointment. They must have a store appointment because in order to get a new phone they have to inspect the old one.
But to answer your question, it *might* be possible if you go into your local Apple Store and talk to them about it.
That is exciting! Welcome to the Apple community.
Well here it's still well within normal waking hours, and your phone reminds you when new posts are made if you're using Tapatalk. So it only seems like people are just sitting here all the time.
