I wanna say you will definitely get it, coz I ordered the same phone and have the same dates but if I were you, I would be cautious with my hopes.

If most of us didn't get even a CC charge for our plus models with dates of 9/15-9/16 and 9/19-9/19 I would say very little hope for dates 9/27 and on for a while....

I'm hoping my 7 will get better service. If not I'm just gonna pay it off and switch carriers

Just FYI - You can only go to AT&T if you buy it from TMobile. Apple changed the chips in the TMobile and AT&T version, so they don't support CDMA again. If you buy a 7 from Verizon or Sprint, you can go to all four carriers. If you buy one from TMobile or AT&T, you can only go between those two (or any other GSM based provider - like Cricket, but that's really AT&T anyways).
 
Just sitting here waiting for UPS....
(Yeah, it says USPS...same concept lol)

I just received the new iPhone. Guys, don't lose sleep over this thing. I've been playing with it for an hour. It's no faster nor have better battery life. I see no difference in this phone other than the new iOS and missing headphone jack. Stop freaking out over this.

+1,

I thought we were here just for the fun of tracking. Are we supposed to enjoy our phone too, when we get it?

Lady on exec team said apple released a statement to them about the 128gb being the least sent out and they didn't have enough. One phone (the matte black) won't be into their warehouse till Sunday which means I won't get that one till mon or tue. The other phone (jet black) won't be in till end of next week so delivery shifted accordingly. I ordered right on time, 1201-1203 ish and had an exec "prioritize/fix" my order later that day and she assured me this was going to go smoothly lol So if that gives anyone some answers, least maybe I'm not alone. I do every release perfect on my end, always do the **** I need to; and there's hang ups but least I got the phones on time- this time unfortunately I do not.

I thought the new IP7 was the first universal phone with all 25 cell frequencies?

Lines up with the 9-19 to 9/26 ship dates many of us have. I just wanted to know in advance so I could call ups so they can hold package.
 
Phone arrival update:
Both phones arrived today via UPS around 11am central. I've been getting mine set up and it's a very nice upgrade over my iPhone 6!

Glad to see more arriving for other members too. I hope everyone else gets their phones soon!20160916_161225299_iOS.jpg

Update 3:
My wife's gold iPhone 7 128 GB now has an origin scan with a time stamp of 10:58am in Louisville.

I'll post another update when the phones are delivered. Good luck to everyone, hope you get your devices soon! There's definitely a lot of excitement here.

Update 2:
Tracking on my matte black iPhone 7 128 GB now has an Origin Scan with a time stamp of 10:02am at Louisville, KY.

Gold iPhone 7 128 GB for my wife is still showing as "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" but I expect to see that change by this evening at the latest as the updates on it have lagged since it was ordered in sequence after the order for the matte black phone was completed.

Update:
I didn't note this in the timeline I provided in my initial post (quoted below), but I got a free T-Mobile text on Sunday at about 9:45 am saying that my order has processed and I got a UPS tracking number with it.

Then today at about noon, I got the exact same text again and for the same tracking number. I don't know why I got the same text with that tracking number again, but my guess is something must've happened to trigger the text.

While I'm not sure what it means, I figure that hopefully either someone might know or at least be interested in knowing how this whole deal is progressing for others.

Just joined because I stumbled upon this iPhone 7 preorder thread and I thought I'd add some info to provide more data points for people.

I woke up early to preorder last week. Had issues with the website for ~20 mins before I decided to just call support. Waited on hold for about ~30 mins and got through to a very energetic and helpful T-Mobile representative and ordered two phones to be paid via EIP:
  • A black iPhone 7 128 GB for me
  • A gold iPhone 7 128 GB for my wife
Phone orders were processed one at a time and EIP agreements were sent very shortly after the orders were placed, about 5-10 minutes. I signed the agreements immediately after I got the emails for them.

From there (all times are Central time)...
9/11 @ 8:45am - Received tracking number for black iPhone
9/11 @ 11:39pm - Payment processed email received from T-Mobile for black iPhone
9/12 @ 5:06am - Received tracking number for gold iPhone
9/12 @ 11:37pm - Payment processed email received from T-Mobile for Gold iPhone
9/12 - First payment posts (no longer pending) on credit card statement
9/13 - Second payment posts on credit card statement
9/14 - 7:08am - Both UPS tracking numbers just show "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" on UPS's website. First order's shipping label shows as being created on 9/10 and the second order's on 9/12.

I imagine I should see movement tomorrow! Though I certainly wouldn't complain if something happened today, haha.

There are people with October dates that got shipment. There are also people that ordered the middle of this week that got shipment too. It's just when they feel like shipping the phone to you, you get it.

I also talked to a exec this morning named Jason he told me if I heard about the disappointed I told him yes he said even though you ordered at. Midnight and still got a nov shipment it could be bumped for a sooner date... He told me also they working with Apple closely and there getting shipments in daily so either way just have to be patient since nobody really got black or jet black+ phones I just basically need to watch out for text/changes in the app...
