that is actually true. the Iphone 6 does not support Band 12, which is Tmo's newer LTE network phase. 6S and above supports Band 12 LTE.
I got much better service with my 6s, its part of the reason I got my girlfriend her 7, to replace the 6 so she gets much better service too.
 
I don't think that not getting charged is any indication of not shipping. My purchase of an iphone last month for my wife, my card was charged the morning it was delivered.
And the shipping went from USPS Priority Mail to UPS Expedited Next Day, then UPS. I got it next day still.
 
Does it always give the shipping information before it's shipped or delivered? Because my UPS and T-Mobile say nothing
 
im still befuddled at how apple botched this launch...I just don't get it.

Did they really want to get the leg up on the Note 7 recall that bad that they launched the phone without any 7+ period? Seems like such a bad idea. But hey, what do they care this is exactly what they wanted! Free publicity and billions of dollars.

The Tmobile system seems to be behind on this info. And UPS scans dont always happen, or if they do, they update all at once, like when reaching a destination hub. It could be in mid transit before we are updated.
 
Device is still waiting for UPS to pick it up in Kentucky. I know two people (friends) who ordered nearly a day after me and their device is out for delivery.
Mine says the same, "ready for UPS". Tmobile order status says shipped. But still no departure scan or anything. What is going on with them?

I saw on a stock/Bizz show, that they think Apple simply didn't expect the 7 series to be this popular. By all accounts and reports before the launch...the 7 wasn't expected to do as well as even the 6s series.

They think that's one reason for the shortage. Apple didn't expect this level of desire...especially for the plus models.
 
It sounds to me like there's a couple of factors at play here which makes this year's iPhone 7+'s hard to find:

1.) First time in iPhone history the Plus is more popular than the standard iPhone. Which means, they'll be cranking them out as fast as they can after the fact.
2.) Apple Upgrade Program snafu probably means Apple took shipments of the iPhone 7 Plus away from carriers to fulfill their own supply needs.

This is the first year I won't have it on launch day, but whatevs. My iPhone 6s works just fine anyhow.
I'm looking forward to the iPhone X next year. The 7 is just a beta test for it.
