Ordering a 7 Plus 128GB black (Tmobile) from Apple gets you the device between 10/1 and 10/7 so its highly unlikely that all 9/9 pre-orders for the larger device and capacities have automatically been delayed till November. If apple/tmobile were to do this, there are likely to be massive cancelations with folks moving on to perhaps the cheaper iPhone 7.

Other carriers have been shipping these colors and capacities and many folks have already received them so its also highly unlikely that Tmobile would somehow be the sole provider that has pretty much all of its pre-orders delayed by a couple of months.

I ordered the iPhone 7 plus 128gb black from T-Mobile and the estimated ship date is November 1, 2016 - November 30, 2016. :(

I just got an email from T-mobile thinking they finally shipped my order, instead it's an email for a bill. I just switched to T-mobile and have yet to even activate the SIM card. Crazy.
 
Well my Apple Watch Series 2 and a hoodie I've been waiting for since forever both arrive on Wednesday so maybe I'll get the iPhone on that day too.

Honestly I don't even care about not getting the phone on launch day and I certainly don't mind waiting a bit longer to get what I want. What frustrates me is the lack of communication from T-Mobile, the lackluster ordering process online (and over the phone), the misinformed reps and so on. The whole thing just comes across like it's been badly planned... and you would think T-Mobile has learnt from past iPhone launches. Nope. This year was worse than the 6 and 6s launches. I suspect many people feel the same way.

EDIT: And it's even more of a terrible situation if T-Mobile ens up saying Apple isn't being transparent on when iPhones are getting shipped out or whatever. So many iPhone releases from Apple you would think they'd have improved how they handle device distribution to carriers.

My watch arrives Wednesday too, would definitely be awesome to get both on the same day, currently have a Note 7 so the apple watch will be relatively useless until I get my iPhone :p
 
Personally I think that T-Mobile is full of S**t when they say we will be getting our phones on the estimated dates because on their website it says we won't even get them till November soooo all the 256 gig people like me can expect to be screwed till November -_-

Yup, Reps must just be looking at the chart on the T-Mobile website and just guessing that all pre-orders will not ship until those dates. (of course on the off-chance they're not lying i'd be furious)
 
There are a lot of planes in the sky but how do we know these are for T-mobile?

I will update you guys as well when my 7+ 128 matte black is charged and shipped but I know that will be awhile for us 9/27-10/10 club.
 
Sitting here with a 9/19-9/26 ship date for the 7+ 128GB matte black. I've literally seen nobody who has had any progress with this model. And to be honest, I don't expect it within the timeframe. If it doesn't come Wednesday, I might just switch colors and JOD later.
 
my jet black order from the 9/9 said shipping estimate 11/01 -11/30. Decided it wasn't worth the hassle, so canceled for a normal black 256GB shipping 10/03 - 10/17, If it turns it would have shipped next week, bummer. Just saw the Matte in the store today, much better than the pictures.
 
Just so everybody knows the 1st of the week is Sunday, check your calendars :)
That means tonight at 12am is next week, so I look forward to some change in my status.

Agreed. I when to the store today and the Matte black looks way better than on pics.
 
Not looking good, I order a 128 silver plus on Tuesday and saw early this morning the estimated shipping date was pushed ahead of time 9/26-10/4 now it says 10/10/16 - 10/24/16 might just cancel my order
Mine still says 9/26-10/10
 
Man I just cancelled the pre order for the jet black (well I'm giving it to my brother) and just going for the silver. Screw it. plus it'll be a different since I never owned a white iPhone.

I honestly believe that the 9/27-10/10 people will be in the first round of shipments with the 9/19-9/26 people. I preordered my 128GB matte black 7+ at 7am EST and got the 9/27-10/10 timeframe. Find it hard to believe that the first round of that model would've sold out in that timeframe. So I'm holding out hope for early next week! God willing our phones are on the planes tonight
 
So nobody here with a 7+ Black or Jet Black 128/258GB that has been charged yet or shows anything other than processing??

I'm praying for this too. It seems like NO ONE has a silver 7+, yet I was still quoted 9/27 -> 10/10 and I ordered earlyish on 9/9. I'm hoping they ship it this week, silver is not even a popular color I'm not sure how it could be so sold out.

I got a text from T-Mobile thinking the ship date moved ahead, but it didn't. lol

Free T-Mobile Msg: Your T-Mobile order is confirmed and expected to ship between 11/01/2016 and 11/30/2016. We'll text you a tracking number once it ships.
