Lol true...sadly. Still no movement for me. If it was not for this iPhone trade in credit could have picked up a device yesterday. Oh well here I sit patiently waiting something.
Got a tip for us?

See what really sucks is, I was taking a peek over at the Apple preorder forum, and they are already receiving 256gb Jet Black 7 Plus's. While I'm still sitting here waiting on my 128gb Jet Black Plus. Additionally, they're receiving Matte Black models in various capacities as well.
This blows ass.
This blows ass.
I asked same question on Reddit Tmobile and someone did it with the 7 sprint model from apple store and worked fine with his Tmobile sim.
Yup my buddy walked into an Apple Store on Saturday and walked out with a 128gb 7+ matte black. So much for preorder huh?
Yes, it will work.
[doublepost=1474378106][/doublepost]All the Apple Stores in NYC seem to have various pluses in stock(except Jet Black).
Well...there you go...giving T-Mo one more day....need for a 2 week trip coming up on friday...want to load up music and videos and get the camera....thanks for the answers all!
Welp, thanks to T-Mobile's archaic system, my order is now cancelled since they have no option of updating payment info.
The only option was to recreate the order and go to the back of the line (November 15 for a 128 GB 7+).
Not even going to waste my time. I'll ride this 6S JoD lease out, sell it on Swappa and get the hell away from JoD altogether. Good riddance, since it basically equates to getting screwed somehow, some way during a hyped launch.
If you order a 256gb model from T-Mobile you might get it by the first week of October as long as it's not Jet Black.
I was told on more than one occasion that if the cc chrges do not go through, they will give send you a text message and/or email and ask to update the information, and will only cancel your order only if you do not do it after 96 hours. I asked them whether this was new, because it happened to me when I ordered the iphone 6, two years ago and they said that it was a practice they started recently.
I'm with you on the JOD issue. I plan to payoff the lease of the jet black - when I eventually get it - and be done with JOD. Will preorder with Apple next year.
Well of course the ill-informed rep didn't say anything about this. Shocker, right?
I'm over it to be honest. Don't even care at this point. It's a phone. When I can walk into a store and get one without all the shenanigans is when I'll get one.
I would still call them for the very last time, and ask to speak to a supervisor or someone higher up. Its worth giving a try. You could also email JL, and someone from the executive team would call back in the next couple of days. If they screwed up, its fair to ask for compensation and they should either make sure you do not loose your place in line, or compensate you in another way.
They did this for me because their reps on the phone and on twitter kept promising to file work tickets to correct my.tmobile issues when nothing had been done. They took care of my month's bill when they realized their mistake since I had only their word to go by and had sold my phone anticipating 9/20 arrival of my 7 Plus.

Again, it has been established that these reps do not know anything new and are just repeating the current ship dates for new orders. Your original preorder ship date trumps that. No need to keep contacting them. It is pointless.
Just reserved a 7 Plus 128GB Black AT&T @Apple Store 5th Avenue, NYC. My friend will pick it up in the evening today. I can order using https://reserve.cdn-apple.com/US/en_US/reserve/iPhone/availability?channel=1&iPP=U and pay full price correct? Don't have to be in the IUP or do IUP?
I understand it is just a phone and there are far greater concerns to be had. My issue for those of us that are on Jump! or JOD is that we pay an extra premium to be able to upgrade each year when a new device is released. Ignore for a moment the system issues that put many of us, like myself, near the back of the line despite placing our orders at 3:01am; what upsets me purely from a customer service perspective is why the other carriers are shipping 7+ JB 128GB models and yet T-Mobile has not only not shipped any of these units, but also hasn't stated why they have not received stock like the competition. It is also very frustrating to hear some of the models available for walk-ins but the pre-orders are left to wait. At this point as a Jump! customer I am stuck to wait. But if other carriers are receiving and shipping stock, I want to know why we are not.
I would address that to John.legere@t-mobile.com. Waiting on same phone as you. Getting out of JOD and ordering through Apple next year. I don't upgrade 3 times a year anyway.
Google just sent out an invite for their new pixel phones. Its being held on OCT 4th and i bet i'll get that phone before my Iphone gets to me.
7+ 32gb, 9/27 - 10/10 here guys
I need a new phone ASAP, I currently have a galaxy S4 (not working properly anymore and the screen shattered today). Decided to preorder the 7 mainly because of the 32gb storage (instead of a 6S with just 16gb for almost the same price). At this point I don't know if its worth it to wait or if I should just give up and get something different, I don't think My Galaxy will last another couple of weeks. Tmobile is not being helpful as y'all know. What do you guys think?

Damn. I didn't realize stores were going to have + models. I thought they were all sold out.
