I ordered a jet black 7+ 128 gb and I still think it could come. I've had T-Mobile preorders delivered on Saturday. Only deliveries that aren't are UPS Next Day Air Saver.
Well, as far as UPS Next Day Air Saver, that is what we have...
My T-Mobile app said it would be UPS Expedited Next Day, but when I got my tracking, it says Next Day Air Saver.
 
View attachment 652360 Just picked up my order (case and charger for MacBook) from the Apple Store here in Tampa. Guy was super friendly. Asked him about launch. He said it will be insane. Also mentioned that plus models were in super high demand this go around, and he has a wait time longer than me and that he was jealous lol.

Thank you for posting this pic! I was wondering if Apple's black silicon case was actually going to be black and it looks like it certainly is. Much appreciated!

I've been saying the same thing too. It's crazy, but I've seen it time and time again: there's almost 2 million iPhones airborne over the Pacific as I type this and during the day tomorrow, almost 2 million of those phones will be delivered across the country and in customer's hands.

Your estimate on deliveries is a little low. I think we are looking at between 9 and 11 Million deliveries this weekend.

Been a MacRumors forums reader for years but never posted in one. Figured I'd post when I got an update. I pre-ordered a jet black 7 Plus with shipping dates 9/19-9/23. Haven't had an update on my order all week so I figured I'd talk to a rep today. Yes I know that they're clueless most of the time. Anyways, he said my order was showing a shipping date of 9/15. It's still showing at 9/19 on my end. Probably means nothing but I'm hoping the black 7+'s are finally starting to deliver.
For anyone confused with how the trade-in promotion works, this lady broke it down pretty well. Screenshot attached. This is for the regular 7 128gb black.

Thank you! That helps clear things up. Much appreciated!
 
Because most of the time they are totally inaccurate and just placeholders since we all ordered so early and close together in time.

Well if they are inaccurate, you'll find out before or after the date. Even if T-Mobile put Oct/Nov shipping dates as a safety net, they won't tell you that. There's nothing you can do at all besides waiting.

who are you? you seem to have special knowledge? Or is it that buddy that works in a store that is feeding you info?
I just go by what my knowledgeable source tells me. Somebody that isn't feeding me lies just to keep me with their network and actually knows what they're talking about and speaks to John L himself lol People might not believe or like what information i provide but i mean its facts. but still not saying that anyone in here can't be a lucky one to get it tomorrow. There's always a few people that manage to slide through in front of others, and i hope it does happen to some people in here. Nothing but the best.

I was simply referring to the 2 million that are currently in the air over the Pacific and the fact that the majority of those phones will also be delivered tomorrow. (Of course so will the other 10+ million that are already over here.)

I want to be the first to congratulate everyone who may be getting their phones tomorrow (mostly 7's). I am expecting photos lol.

For those who have 9/19-9/26 dates - That is still GREAT. (Hope you get it before then tho)

And for us 7+ folks with dates 11/01-11/30 - HANG IN THERE!
iPhone 7 jet black date 11/1-11/30

Oh gotcha, yeah. Pretty much anything into the depot prior to 4pm will be delivered.

For the Saver vs Next Day thing. Last year T-Mobile updated the Savers to Next Day Air Saturday Delivery automatically. Not saying it will happen, its just happened in the past. I got the same thing with my Note7. For some reason it never shipped out Thursday night so they redid it with Saturday and I got it then. I didnt call or anything, it was automatic.
 
You: Hey my shipping date estimate is 9/26, any chance I'll get it tomorrow??

John: Oh yeah man that's just a placeholder, you'll get it tomorrow.

*phone doesn't come 9/16*

You: WTF John?? I didn't get my phone today. What a **** company! Worst experience I've ever had, stay away from T-Mobile!

FYI, Next Day Air Saver is exactly that....a saver, that doesn't deliver on Saturdays

Residential Destinations:
Next business day delivery by end of day

Saturday ain't a business day in this part of the world ;-)
 
Anyone know What time can I anticipate the Louisville departure scan? It arrived at 10:33AM this morning. I live in New York, NY.

You would just need to compare flight departure/arrival times with the scans on UPS' website.
 
Hi Everyone,

So I have been watching the thread and I have gotten some news from my contact on the Executive Team who has been very helpful through this nightmare of a pre-order (Not as bad as last year). I was sent this:

"I got an update on the Jet Black, we should get stock of that handset next week, and you will get tracking information shortly thereafter!"

My order was for a 7+ 128gb Jet Black but I am assuming it is meant for all Jet Black Regular and +.

My other 2 phones have finally updated and shipped. Both 7+ 128 Silver and Gold.
