The reps really do not know what they are talking about. Ordered three 32GB Matte Black Plus at noon on the 9th and they said it won't ship until November because they have to find them to be able to group all of them together.. They are exactly the same. How hard can it be? Then changed their story when I said other people are already getting theres. They are literally clueless. Beyond pissed after dealing with them until 9pm on the 9th to find out my order was placed all along, but no one could "find" it.
If I were you, I wouldn't depend on t-mobile for any life-saving transfusions.
I asked T-Mobile Twitter Help that question and they never responded. Smh. To be honest, I have a feeling that we will get them within 2-4 weeks. I highly doubt Apple will have customers wait that long for us to get our phones. I believe those dates are based on what T-Mobile published to make sure they don't under estimate delivery.
Yes, I'm calling it. lol Will have our iPhone 7+ by next month.
Thats what I was thinking too. I talked to a rep today and basically she just said to go find the phone in a store. She also told me multiple stories of why the phone wouldn't be here. T-Mobile on Twitter has been no help to me today. I have tweeted them multiple times about my frustration lol I'm cool as long as we get them by November! That's the reason I stayed up until 3 am to order the phone lol
Funny. You not getting your phone now was what kicked off your entire argument, and you blamed the pre-order process, Apple's supply chain, their planning, etc, etc. It's very easy to be the armchair quarterback when you're not the one in the game. But ok, you don't mind waiting... Great!
And I was just having a discussion as well, and was voicing my opinion, which differed from yours. And that's fine, as our opinions don't have to agree, but the fact that you think your opinion is not an opinion, but "the truth" as you call it, really says it all...
To be honest, it really doesn't matter to me how upset you get. I'm perfectly happy waiting for my iP7. If it comes sooner, then great. If it takes a few weeks, no big deal, I just keep using my perfectly functioning iP6s+. Hopefully, you get yours soon too.
Well wait, unless I'm mistaken (I don't think I am) Apple ships the phones directly to the T-Mobile customers, they don't drop them off and then T-Mobile (or any carrier) sorts them and ships them out. They are shipped directly from Foxconn to the customer.
You're mistaken. They're going through the tmobile distribution center at the ups hub in louisville. I received 5 regular 7s on Friday in three tmobile boxes, they were shipped from tmobile, not foxconn in China.
That's one of the reasons why I haven't called and complained about my $20 assistance fee they tacked on to my order yet.
It's too easy for them to *clickclick* "Alright, I did go ahead and take off that $20 fee however we are going to have to re-order your phone. Your new estimate is December 15-31. Have a great day, thanks for using T-mobile!"
Wow that is strange last year they did not come in T-Mobile boxes they came in white bubble rap.
I had initially pre-ordered the 7 128 gb JB and had a 9/27-10/24 ship window.
After seeing videos of how easily it scratched I called in this morning and cancelled that order and pre-ordered the 7 128 gb MB and now have a window of 9/22-9/29.
I figured as I would just have had to put it in a case anyhow, why wait that long for it?

No Apple ships directly to the carrier than the carrier to the customers. Apple on the other hand does it differently. not sure how they do it.
For their orders from their website they ship direct from China. Full tracking too through UPS.
I'm trying not to strain myself thinking about it but maybe it did come in a T-Mobile box last and and it was the year before that it just had white bubble wrap? Oh well...
I went ahead and cancelled my order for the iPhone 7 Plus 128gb Matte Black. Long story short.. I had my iPhone 6s Plus 64gb on JUMP1. Called to preorder 3:00 AM est on the 9th. I told the rep to do a JUMP1 upgrade to the iPhone 7. Thought everything was good until I reread the EIP agreement they sent me later in the day. It turns out it was processed as a regular update to JOD. Called asked if they could just switch it back to my JUMP1 was told that it wasn't possible and I would have to cancel and join JUMP2 if I wanted to JUMP. Thought about it and was willing to keep my place in line and Join JOD while still paying for my iPhone 6s Plus. Got impatient seeing the iPhone 7 Plus 128gb Matte Black from the other carriers so I cancelled my order and made a reservation for the Verizon version and the Apple store. Went to the store bought my phone and now I sleep peacefully not worrying about when my phone will ship.
I know my phone would have prob been here this week (hopefully) but it is what it is.
Hope you guys get some news soon.

pre-ordered iPhone 7+ black 256gb 9/9 t-mobile.com late afternoon ship date 9/19-9/26
I don't understand how this is working. My exact same order which was ordered the 9th at noon says November and T-Mobile can't give me any explanation except that there is a "huge demand."
If you tweeted me numerous times I would ignore you too.
I ordered some shoes through amazon, which ship from Louisville. Gives me a nice, warm feeling to have something ship from there.
