Hi everyone, new to these forums, heavy user on the T-Mobile Reddit. Woke up at 2:50 AM EST on 9/9 to preorder 3 Matte Black 7 Plus's (one 128gb and two 32gb) for upgrades. T-Mobile's website was down, called 611 to order and finally placed them around 5am EST. Estimated ship dates are not until 9/27-10/10... praying they somehow come Friday!

It depends. If you are going to stick with the iPhone, and never move to a different phone, I think the Upgrade program is a bit cheaper year over year, by like 40 bucks or something. The Upgrade program cost more monthly, but you have a $150 down payment with T-Mobile. The upgrade program also includes Apple care, while T-Mobile charges extra each month.

I would go the Upgrade route, but I couldn't place the order online, and the stores are just telling me to come launch day, hence why I ordered via T-Mobile. If I see no signs of movment come Thursday night, I might swing into the Apple store first thing in the morning.

Last year, ordering a 6s Plus for the upgrade program was easy and quick, this year it seems like no one knows what is going on.

I might go to the Apple Store in the afternoon since that's what a dude told me today while he was working, however, I don't want to deal with the crazy madness. Walking out with an Apple Bag is like being a moving target. I was so nervous walking out last year with my 6S Plus being swapped out for an iCloud Hacking. I might switch to the S8, but idk if I want the JoD hassle, especially with being under someone else's account.

Good luck...I was thinking about doing the same thing but then I saw this.

All, checked in my contact at VZW, and they are in the same boat, movement with other SKUs but not the black and jet black 7+. He was the one that told me that we would start seeing orders being charged last night...

Just got word that black and jet black models will see movement/charges at some point today and tomorrow and will be in hand by Friday. Don't be surprised if you see no update at all and have your phone delivered on Friday. The black and Jet black models were in transit yesterday and today and will be also coming in all day tomorrow.

If you have a 9/19 date for any order, your phone will be in on Friday.

This was My Choice UPS for last month's Note7 Launch. It just shows how quickly UPS can move your order. I know this is way different that an iPhone launch. but it shows if your phone doesn't leave Louisville until 12:01 am on The 16th you can still get it.

so any fellow 11/1-11/30 shipping date people believe we might be getting the phones earlier. i honestly don't care if its here on launch date but waiting two months for a phone is ridiculous.

This is exactly what I said about 2 days ago and I'm waiting for that date too. Ridiculous is right..
