I've noticed that trend. Last year the Rose Gold was the most popular. I got mine on launch day. I should've went with the MB this year. Next year I'll probably get another popular color. I have a feeling next year's preorder is going to be worse than this year.
Honestly, when I ordered my phone in store, I went with what the rep told me; which was that Silver was the unpopular color with the latest shipping estimate and that I'd get it faster. I originally DID want MB, but was told there was no point in ordering it because I wouldn't get it until late October or November — blah blah blah. I'm upset that it wasn't the case. Who knows when we'll see other colors start to ship.

And yes, next year, it'll be much MUCH worse.

I just accept that if it isn't a MB or JB, it's not prioritized. Going for the silver due to the earlier shipping date backfired

Yes I know exactly what you mean! Instead, it appears they're pushing silver and golds aside and focusing production resources towards the black colors, regardless of order time or ESD. Lame for us, awesome for JB people.

I really hope I get my phone before or on the 10th. I leave on vacation for two weeks to Europe and it'd be nice to have the amazing new camera to document my trip :(

Funny enough, I actually PREFER the silver color. Today, I stopped by the local Apple Store to purchase my wife's iPhone 7 AppleCare+. For sh*ts and giggles I asked if they had any T-Mobile 7+ phones. They had an MB 128GB 7+ in stock and the worker asked if I'd like to purchase it.

No giggles were had.

Wow can't believe this thread is still going strong. I was one of the very early preorders, like ordered in the first 2 hours. Matte Black plus. Went to T-Mobile to pay my bill and the rep asked me if I had the Matte Plus and I was like, "yeah". He then said that his store has not had a Plus model at all. And every customer that he has seen with one said they ordered it on the phone or online. He also said they only had five 7's silver on launch day. That's it.
