The salt in this forum is getting real. Lets keep it civil ladies. It's totally realistic to get upset about ordering 40 minutes earlier than someone with the same exact model you preordered and they get shipment notifications and you don't. Isn't that why we stay up till midnight to 3AM? To make sure you get yours earlier than most? So when that process doesn't play out, people get frustrated. No need to call people out. Jeeze.

Good luck to all, and congrats to the people who are getting theirs tomorrow.

Thanks for catching that! Brilliant!


Next time, set an alarm and wake up on time to place a pre-order. Had you done that properly, you'd have a phone tomorrow. I'll let you know how it is though.

I was up, order confirmation was at 2:06 CST.... I don't know how much more "properly" one can do it. Enjoy your phone dude. I say that seriously. Be a good weekend for you. Camera is stellar... wish I had mine to take pictures at the football game this weekend, but I will live. The 6s isn't a bad shooter.

Nothing was botched. You're just mad. Just because every single order is not going in 100% exact incremental order in which it was placed, does not mean anything is wrong. To think any operation could be so perfect and exact like that is ignorant. The phone is too popular to people just like you. You basically created this problem. Remember, you're never stuck in traffic. You ARE TRAFFIC.

Huge first world problem! I am so sad for you.

I do think something production wise happened with the 32GB 7+ models. Seems to be across all carriers as far as hardy anyone except for a few have tracking info for them.

I placed two orders on launch day. The first (7, 32GB, Matte Black) was ordered at 6:30 am CDT with a 9/16 ship date. This order was charged to my CC on 9/12 and I had a FedEx tracking number on 9/13 with delivery scheduled for 9/16. The second order (7, 32GB, Silver) was ordered at 6:30 pm with a 9/23 ship date. This second order was charged on my credit card last night (9/14) and I got a FedEx tracking number this morning for delivery tomorrow! I'm extremely happy that the phone that was scheduled for 9/23 delivery is coming tomorrow!! :)

Woah. You had 2 32GB models ship for tomorrow? Seems like Apple just forgot about the 32GB Plus models

Verizon just logged me out due to my inactivity. Wish I could do something about their inactivity. :confused: I currently have a four year old iphone 5 and it lives on life support (aka the charger).

I ordered the jet black 128 at 3:15am. I have seen zero activity and my confirmation email and order status both say 10/5 for delivery date. Boo.

Anyone who ordered two phones and got a shipping confirmation see only one phone listed in the Verizon shipping confirmation email? On the website it says "shipment 1" has both phones, but the shipping confirmation email lists only one phone and a preinstalled SIM. I'm not too concerned, but it seems strange...

The package weight is 1.36kg... so I think it is two phones. Others I've seen are less (0.91kg...).

mines the same... package weight of 2lbs which I would think would have two phones in it...

I've come to grips with the fact I won't have a new phone to play with over the weekend. That being said, a couple of observations... REALLY PISS POOR process when it seems when you ordered has no freaking correlation to when you get your phone. There are ample examples of matte black 128 that have gone out with people ordering well after I did... so to me, this pre order nonsense is a crap shoot at best..... roll of the dice... really makes me mad for the two hours of sleep I got last Friday.... Second observation.... Apple botched this WAY WORSE than any other pre order in history. NO PLUS models at their stores on launch day WTF.... that's incompetent plain and simple. There is a massive difference between "creating hype" and alienating people. I feel, that with each launch they get worse at this and not better... that said... I'm done obsessing about this and have come to terms with the mantra, "life ain't fair kid" Congrats to those of you getting your phones Friday.... Enjoy the hell out of them... that said I need to go tell my boss I'll be in the office Friday.... and ask for next Friday off instead.

first mistake... getting up at wee hours of the night to order a phone.... patience.... its a phone

So if our iPhones haven't been shipped by tonight will Verizon ship them anytime next week then arrive, hopefully, the next day?

I wouldn't even sweat if you want a regular iPhone 7 in any color but jet black on launch day.
I'm beginning to think that Apple should start to stagger the release dates for these models. Release the 4.7" in Fall and the 5.5" in Spring. This way you wouldn't have this huge clusterf**k of a disaster with the Plus model.
