I've switched to rum....Just sitting here sipping some wine refreshing every minute waiting for someone to say their 7+ black shipped lol
Good thing you are then, because otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the invisible plus sized 7 if it was just sitting on your doorstep!
The invisible black matte finish will really shine though. Really pop.
My dad and I ordered the same type of phone (color, carrier, gb). He pre-ordered in store on 9/9. I preordered hours earlier on the phone on 9/9 but screwed things up w payment. Spoke to T-Mobile, looks like I'll be getting mine next week.
I keep forlornly telling him how upset I am that I have to wait a week but he hasn't offered to give me his in the mean time (I would just give him mine whenever it comes).

Apple really messed up this launch. They needed to make sure they had enough on-hand for the launch, or limit countries or even delay the launch. They wanted to keep a schedule and that soured lots of people. This mess up is going to cost them lost of loyalty "points" from many people.
Like many others here, I was "guaranteed" an iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB (matte black) when I ordered last Friday at lunch. I called back a few hours later when I still hadn't received the DocuSign and was told by that rep that the first CSR had ordered my phone in Rose Gold. She put in a new order for black, and the DocuSign didn't arrive until Saturday. I got in touch with Executive Response and the best they could do is supposedly put me back in the queue from my original order date. I got a $150 bill credit since my dates are 9/27+ and they couldn't bump me enough to receive it on launch like they promised. Next year I will probably order via Apple.
Just a FYI some Tmobile stores even though they have the new iPhone in stock some won't sell you it if your just doing an upgrade just need lines. Also no plus in NYC area , majority of the NYC stores only got 3 phones in stock. So it's going to be very limited.
As a Father - I can say that I have sacrificed a lot for my kids, but I would be very unlikely to let them have the new toy first. The only person that comes first is my wife.

Boyfriends iPhone 7 matte black 32g has shipped. Weighing in at 1.5lbs. -_-
I'm a rep and this is more or less accurate. Log in to your account on T-Mobile.com and look at your order - you now know everything I do about your order when you call in.
The last few phones I have gone though T-Moble. This launch the issue is not T-Mobile but really the complexities and the cost of some of the other elements does not really save my money. I will also be going with Apple for the next version.
The list of countries for this weeks launch is rediculous. It has all of the heavy hitters including China
there is one store in my area that might have pluses. i'm going to head over there around 3 in the morning. hopefully i will be first in line.
Not really, depends on how you factor in the insurance costs and other things with T-Mobile. While t-Mobile is $28 a month if you add insurance that is $12 -- totaling $40 a month. Apple is about the same.
I'm pretty much used to the slow updates with overnight shipping especially from T-Mobile. They always send me my tracking number when I'm sleeping. I just hate we don't truly have up-to-date information when it comes to orders and what we're paying for. Don't tell me it's backordered when you already have a phone for me. Unnecessary stress LOL. I had a supervisor tell me they were trying to charge everybody early just to get it out of the way. If that's the case, everyone in here wouldn't be begging them to take their money.
Well, here's to sitting on my ass all day tomorrow.
At least you get to have some fun with the process then? I'm blindly staring at floating planes on https://flightaware.com/live/iphone
There was no line at my local t-mobile in the city. The lady was really trying hard to convince me out of joining the line with: "we don't have a lot of phones", "you're better off preordering", "you're going to have to cancel your preorder while you wait in line", "you already signed EIP, it's gonna be hard". Who is the customer here? Almost like she was trying to save some up for herself or her friends. Tempting to go early and join the line considering half of my phone is blacked out and cracked making it unusable.
No fun at all because when I check the mail tomorrow it's gonna be his phone and not mine. And he's the one that doesn't even care when it comes in!
