I peek in their thread every once in a while we are a bit behind that's why they are getting their phones faster than us lol

Yep. No need to participate in a preorder discussion when they got their phones weeks ago. T-Mobile is definitely not the largest, most popular carrier. They're all in the forums talking about how much they love their new iPhone 7s:confused:

Keep an eye out for others that have the exact phone ordered as you do. Each variation of iPhone has its own queue, so when you see someone get charged, ask their order # and that will give you a better idea how far along TMobile has processed the phone you ordered.

Ive been looking at that myself. I think T-Mobile has a lot more customers than the other carriers, since lately they have been stealing customers left and right. I also think their new customers may be in the age bracket that look forward to getting the next iPhone.

My guess is that the other carriers all got their phones. Anytime I check on stock at the :apple: store, my phone is in stock for all other carriers except T-Mobile. Everyone I know on other plans got theirs too.

Those with IP6S+ should not even complain... I'm here with IP5 lol :D

256GB ship faster only because of the smaller demand due to higher price.

Me too!! I've had the 5 for 3 years now, ordered the 7 plus on 9/18 est 11/01-11/30. I think the silvers are shipping fast too because not very many ppl ordered them either.

I believe that too. We have more than one thing working against us. When I was with AT&T my "back ordered" phone came in a week...
[doublepost=1476376935][/doublepost]Somebody should have had charges by now... :(

Hopefully today and tomorrow fridays used to be big waves but the last 2 fridays have been a bust

Have you been charged? And does it say "backordered "? People in similar situations have been getting theirs shipped out even though it says backordered, I've heard. The higher capacity phones have been shipping out pretty quickly, so unless they change your ESD you should get it soon--Probably before me, (RG+ on 9-16). :p
T mobile status says backordered and there has been no charge for my credit card yet.

Has anyone here (other than the one JB 7+ 256 a day or two ago) actually cancelled their order and ordered the 7+ 256? I'm contemplating on just paying the extra to end this waiting game.
Thinking the same thing about my RG. But the more I look at the JB I like it but willing to keep RG to match my watch

That is the only reason why I still want the RG. I have the series 2 RG and it is pretty alongside my 6s+ but would look even better with my 7+. My dates are still 10/25-11/11. If I see anyone get charged from the 10/18-10/25 group, I'm canceling my order and re-order the 256gb RG again.

I made an order yesterday for the JB 7 Plus in 256 and it's now saying backorder but ship dates are 10/18-10/25.

I ended up canceling that order at 3am est. today because I noticed I ordered the wrong phone (the 7, 4.7" screen). But I put in a new order online for the right phone (the 7+) and still have the same shipping dates.

When I placed the order online it tells you the estimated shipping dates where you get to the shopping cart part where you choose the phone you want.

I also still have my JB Plus order for the 128gb that still has shipping for 11/01-11/30. I figure which ever one charges me first I'll take that one.

When I checked iStockNow.com the Silver 7+ 256 for T-Mobile had the greatest availability of all the 7+ for Tmo. RG, G, and JB were completely out of stock everywhere in 256.

I know Apple Store Availability and Tmo Availability are different, but Apple Store Inventory might be a good indicator for supply/demand levels
