Ok so for all the people that ordered iPhone 7 plus Matte Black 128GB date range of 9/27-10/10, I have a family member that works for higher management in TMO and told me whats going on with those familiar shipments...does anybody care to know ?

If this isn't a joke, what about just an iPhone 7 32gb matte black?

ok i just got off the boat! how do u guy track in UPS with no tracking numbers? track by reference? if yes what is the reference number usually
 
I don't think any of us can know what happened to our 7+, Matte Black or Jet Black until tomorrow.

I don't think it's as simple as Apple ships to T-mobile, T-mobile processes, T-mobile ships to us. I think it's more like a drop shipment, maybe with modifications that prevent the true origin scan (china) from showing up.

Also, the shipment estimate for all T-mobile 7+ colors except for Jet Black on Apple.com is 2-3 weeks. They can't be that far behind if you can order one today directly from Apple and get it in the time frame of most of our estimates (9/26 - 10/10 for me).

I think a lot of people who have already given up are going to be pleasantly surprised tomorrow.

I agree. When the 6 plus first came out i didn't know if i wanted to get it or not. i ended up ordering it 9/30/14 (two weeks after release) and got it 10/9/14. So even though they were supposedly backordered over a month i got it in 9 days. I have a feeling they are gonna show up with no notification. They seem to be the last batch sent being tracked on an antiquated and overloaded system. (I'm also not trippin too hard, i got my 6s plus the day before pre-order opened and my case doesn't come in until Monday anyway. Ill worry about it when i get back!:cool::cool:)
 
To track without tracking # or my choice account:

Go to UPS tracking page on desktop site. Under the tracking # box should be Search by Reference

Type in your ZIP, Country, and your under reference # you put your Phone #

HAHAHAHAHA THIS guy :D:D:D:D
 
Ok so people with those models and date range we are definitely not getting them tomorrow. What TMO is doing is that of course is a safe net as we already discussed but this is just some closure that tomorrow WILL NOT be our day but mostly a week before our dates. especially on the east coast due to distance also. Everyone with a later date other than 19/26 is to get it between a week before and the 9/27. You are likely to go to a store and get a different color plus but expect to get 128 or 256, no 32.


I hope this gives you closure. and some peace of mind. and what helped me is looking at the calendar and seeing how close the 19th really is lol
