You do know they have to go through Alaska before they go to Louisville right? :)

Why does a plane from China have to go through Alaska to get to Louisville? Why not Seattle or LA or any other city on the West Coast? Does someone know for sure that Apple only uses a China to Alaska to Louisville route for some reason? Just curious, as I've been wondering this the entire thread.

I'm totally happy for you and to see some movement, but that just really annoys the heck out of me. My estimated ship date for the same phone is 09/19 - 09/26 and I ordered at 11:58P PST and am an existing customer.

You lucky bugger is about all I can say. I guess this is payback for moving away from Apple to Android for me :(

Can I ask why you're annoyed? Your shipping estimate is still good for another 6 days. You could easily and most likely will, get yours in the next week or less. Millions called before 12am pst. I wouldn't get too hung up on that, as far as not getting it on release day. You're definitely in the second wave.

It'll happen soon for ya. No doubt :)

Because of their Logistical centers (UPS) and because Louisville happens to be their worldwide hub
 
What about us just regular customers. Not fair. I've been a customer for like 13 years.

I dunno, what about you guys? I haven't been with TM for that long, but you could be JOD if you wanted, someone could've been with TMobile for 13 years and now be on JOD. I'm just saying long-time customers and JOD customers aren't necessarily two different things.

No updates yet. But I seem to be sandwiched between people who are getting charges.
 
Frustrated with all this.
Would it be possible to reserve T-mobile iPhone 7 + 128 gig at an Apple store for pickup and then upgrade? Then Cancel my current T-mobile order? Or maybe just sign up for apple upgrade program instead. Maybe it would be quicker?

no $160 is correct. That's how much mine is also
Really, how is that possible? For the 128gb + its $150, then $80 more for taxes.
(I got them to drop the $20 upgrade charge, btw)

that looks nice, but don't think it will protect it much. What about screen?

I know i'm going to jinx myself here - but I've had every iPhone since 2007 and have NEVER scratched or cracked a screen. I hate how the screen protectors feel. I'll take my chances. I'm pretty careful with my phones - but we have insurance with the JOD program, so there's that.

Not really. The 128 plus should be a charge of 230, not 160.

Wrong.
