Lmao yeah I have to wait untill may that's when I get my license
What are we going to do with ourselves when we actually get our phone?? Go back to normal life?? I say we continue this and talk about how great our new phones are. Yippee
Most come back and show how it looks wit its case on. Then complain a little that they dont like it lol
I dont know how many times it's been said in this thread....Most people wont get shipping updates until tomorrow or not even one. The volume that the 7+ black that is coming in is insane. Like most other companies, TMO uses SAP for logistics, supply chain etc and uses shipping interval times based on actual inventory. Anything more than "on hand inventory" is listed as back order given a generic ship date place holder. No single carrier had any 7+ in black with a 9/16 delivery date. From what I'm being told is the Apple has told carriers that from late Monday thru Thursday they are shipping as much as they can around the clock. They literally have shipping trucks lining up at the Foxconn factories and getting expedited custom approvals to move as much volume as they can. Each plane holds about 200-300k iphones. Plus SKUs are now shipping at 4:1 ratio. Meaning for every one ip7, there are 4 plus models shipping.
If you have dates that are showing anytime in the next three weeks, they are very inaccurate and generic. The only SKU that is proably going to have low yields and longer times is the Jet Black due to the build process and quality checking.
I have nothing to gain and nothing to lose, this is just information that I've gotten from someone that even though doesnt work for TMO, knows exactly how the process works for every carrier being that he is in supply chain management for VZW, even though he specializes in reverse logistics.

Yup, knowing how things turn out for most people, I really appreciate my family. We've been nothing but good to each other.

hi guys! been stalking this page for the past 3 days non stop... ordered a iPhone 7 Plus 128GB JET Black! I attempted to order at Midnight but was stuck in that clusterf*ck and didn't get to have my order go through until the Friday at 5:30 Am PST No CC charge or shipping info of course....my estimated shipping dates are 11/1-11/3
but what i find interesting is that IF I was to pre order using Apples website the shipping info still says "Ships November"
but what i find interesting is that IF I was to pre order using Apples website the shipping info still says "Ships November"Ordered the 7+ 256GB Black and it's still showing the estimated shipping of 9/19-9/28. I ordered my phone through JOD on the website about 5 minutes before midnight the night of launch. When I ordered I definitely thought I would get it launch day, hoping for the credit card charge anytime now!
BTW the word is that Tmobile had the second most pre-orders behind ATT and the total amount of iphones that will be at least 10 million, almost a guarantee to be more and break last years 10 million opening weekend.
Edit: ATT beat VZW and TMO. TMO had more pre-orders than VZW. VZW had a marginal increase year over year compared to to TMO and ATT
