A Tmobile phone rep just told me that they dont have any iphone 7 phone in stock neither regular 7 or 7 plus and all orders will begin shipping out after September 27. Because Apple has delayed shipment to them.
Not sure if I believe it or if that's what they're estimating.
Hope he's wrong :)
Now Apple wouldn't be flying 10 empty flights back and forth to China every day if that's the case, would it? LOL

I've sold 5 iPhones on eBay and haven't had any issues whatsoever.

Consider yourself very lucky. Play the lottery tonight :D
Look around the forum or anywhere online and you will find countless of ebay scammer stories and usually the common denominator is Apple devices and iphones mostly.
The last few times I tried selling my iphone on ebay I went through hell with scam attempts and buyers lying and making up stories in order to get the phone for free.

I'm going to say this and it will sound selfish. Apple better not have a iPhone 7+ 128 Matte Black GB in store on Friday if they don't at least send one preordered one out.

Let this post be a reminder to everyone, that Tmo is telling people completely different things.

In other words.... no need to contact Tmo. Reps know nothing.
Except on ups it says Label created 9/10 and is now in the shipped stage. In the last 10 minutes it went from processed to shipped

So I just got off the phone with someone at T-Mobile's executive team and here's what he had to say. Any movement on the jet blacks before mid October is highly unlikely. Apparently they were back ordered even before a single order went in. Even T-Mobile isn't getting hold of any phone physically until early tomorrow morning.

If that's true they need to update the shipping estimates to give us time to properly cancel our preorders and take our chances out in the Wild West that is the carrier stores...

Why are people still contacting T-Mobile? I thought we established that their inconsistency is the only thing consistent about their "stories".
3 Phones for me. Tracking is the same as yours on all 3

Exactly.
And the wait time is 52 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes currently.
And you wont really understand them and they wont understand you. Since the high call volume they have all these 3rd party outsourced reps from all over the globe just reading a script and not telling you anything different than what you see online on your tmobile account anyway.

Have you seen the people posting in this topic? I'd imagine that we are only a fraction of people bugging them about their time iPhones. I'd also imagine that many people aren't so nice about having to wait theoretically until November to get a phone.

I'd have the same attitude if I worked at T-mo right now, to be completely honest.

Exactly. It's a little bit ridiculous. No amount of calling, chatting or complaining is going to get your phone shipped quicker. I'm excited to get mine too, but it will ship when it ships. Sure I hope I get it Friday, but I have a 6S Plus that I love, so it's not the end of the world.
