Alright folks,

In total we got 143 responses for the survey, so thank you to everyone who completed it! Keep in mind I started writing this up earlier today, so those who have been charged or have updates over the past few hours may see some outdated information.

After sifting through a lot of your responses (and blatant mistypes, user errors, and generally mean things being written) here is the information on the individual types of phones ordered:

Black 32 GB

-28 responses (no charges)
-All orders # follow the order times chronology perfectly
-Orders on 9/9 before noon received 9/27-10/10 ship dates
-2 exceptions
-1 phone order at 4:00 AM Central had 9/19-9/26 dates (random, user error?)
-1 in store order
-Any orders after noon Pacific time went to 11/1-11/30 ship dates
-Someone managed to order in the future with a 10/9 order date (tell us how you did it?)

Black 128 GB

-55 responses (about ½ charged so far)
-All follow order # and time chronology perfectly
-All charged were from 9/9 preorders except one 9/15 order (user error?)
-All uncharged 9/9 orders have 9/27-/10/11 ships dates
-Exception were 3 orders (1 online checkout, 2 phone orders)
-EIP issues? No order #s given on these 3 exceptions
-Nobody has received phone

Black 256 GB

-10 responses (no charges)
-All but 1 on 9/9, and have 9/19-9/26 ship dates
-Only 2 order number responses given, so not enough data to look at
-One order number was “screw you”
-Same person was obviously upset because their estimated ship dates of 9/15-9/6 had passed. Didn’t know that range was possible (also apparently doesn't realize that I know exactly who they are once they submit the survey, thats one order I wish I could mess with)


Jet Black 128 GB

-36 responses (2 charged)
-1 ordered over phone at 12:02 AM Pacific
-1 ordered, online on 9/8 at 11:58 PM, has been received (got in early)
-only person to receive the 9/16 ship date
-After that, orders go to 9/19-9/26 time frame
-Online checkouts seem to have better ship dates
-Ship dates erratic and do not correspond well with order times
-Order #s correspond correctly with order times though


Jet Black 256 GB

-Only 5 responses (no charges)
-All orders on 9/9 morning within 1 hour of release are 9/19-9/26
-Not enough data to really dig into these orders

Silver, Rose Gold, Gold (everyone hates you <3 the Black/Jet Black lonely hearts club)
-1 Gold response, 2 Rose Gold, 6 Silver
-Only 9/9 morning preorder with no updates is a Silver 256 GB
-Silver 32 GB and 256 GB not charged (128 GB received)
-Rose Golds all received

Final Quick Hits

-No 256 GB phones have been charged
-Only 1 32 GB has been received (Rose Gold)
-Less than 1K difference in order #s (6 Minutes) made a 1 month difference in shipping dates in some cases
-Jet Black phones were pushed to 9/27-/10/10 2 minutes after release
-No in store orders have been received
-Only 2 online checkouts have been received
-Only phone orders received are Silver and Rose Gold

Finally, all order #s seem to correlate perfectly with the times these orders were placed. Even though some order #s had different formats, you can see the pattern of order #s going up as time moves forward. This was the info I was most interested in seeing so we can put to rest that anyone was "put on a priority list." Now I cant say how this correlates to orders being charged, as those were pretty erratic as well and made zero sense. For example, the very first Black 128 GB that was ordered has not been charged while most others that were ordered early that morning got charges yesterday.

Hope this helps everyone for clarification on some things. All in all I wish I had a little more information (specifically order #s) to see what the deal is with charges. Good luck to everyone in getting their phones soon!

PS. Someone call T-Mobile and put me on the coveted "John Legere Priority List" for putting this together

My card was charged yesterday and I still don't receive email notification of it being shipped. Anyone else have the same situation??

I placed my own order on 9/9 before 6AM Eastern (I'm also in PA). Based on the order times I saw yesterday, this was near the tail-end of the first wave of 128GB Black Plus orders.

Based on that, for all we know I could be in wave 12 :(

Crossing my fingers.

This is my first iPhone pre-order experience.... are they all like this? Massive wait times and low supply?
Click to expand...
No... they're like this LATELY, but back in the age of the 3g, 3gs and 4 I had my phones delivered by fed ex the morning of launch. IIRC I stood in a short line with a friend at the Apple store and snagged a iphone5 on launch day. The 6, 6s and now the 7 have been awful as far as release day goes.

Last year I preordered my silver 64 6s+ ~40 mins after the pre order started, the wait time was so long. I waited like 30 mins to talk to someone. But because I was on JoD they put my order in priority and I got it launch day. However, what happened after I got my phone is way more messy. I lost my bill credit and my trade in was broken during transit.

Apple's supply, I think, is always lower than it should. It always sold out. This year is particularly bad tho. I think they meant to launch it maybe this Friday instead of last but the Note 7s went ka boom and there's no way anyone would not capitalize on that. they probably decided to release it before Samsung could finish the recall so that they can attract more ppl to buy iPhone. I mean any phone that doesn't go ka boom is better at this point lol. Also the sales forecasts for this gen iPhones were pretty negative so they might not see this coming either.

No, no change.

Do you not have a tracking number yet that you can plug into UPS's site to track?

No. I try to track by reference but nothing yet.

Hopefully mine ships too. I ordered with JOD so no charge. Ordered when the store opened at 10 am Arizona time

I'm waiting for you to get your shipping then I know I should be close. I ordered same day about 8 minutes before you same phone.
 
Can you guys imagine what next year will be like? The 10th anniversary iPhone with supposed Amoled Display, Wireless Charging, All glass design. I bet those wait times are going to be even longer.

The company - and more importantly their market - has effectively quadrupled since those 3GS/4 days... supply constraints are the norm for these launches, and will be until Apple actually falls off from producing stuff people want.

She was most likely playing it safe..The email which confirmed the order following the charge and label creation, said 48 hours. Even that is most likely conservative (just like the 9/26 date) but regardless expect UPS to have your (and my) package between 24 and 48 hours of the label being printed. That means, Thursday delivery if we are lucky (I'd give it a 50% chance) and a very likely Friday delivery.

What is the phone number:department you called to expedite the order ?

First off, thank you for putting this together!

As far as the order priority goes more than the order numbers or just dates, I would be interested in seeing a pattern on charge dates and model configurations. Do you mind exporting the poll data into a Google Spreadsheet so we all can play with it?

Once again, thanks for setting this up and doing all the number crunching work!
