Hello all,

I've been following this thread from the start. I preordered the iPhone 7+ MB 128GB and the 7+ 128 silver but my order is still processing with a ship date of 9/28. 10 days from now...! Agh. I preordered at 3:18AM CST. My question is can I go to the Apple store and pick up those phones but still do the financing/payment play through Verizon? I don't want Apple's IUP, I want to be able to finance it through Verizon.

I'm currently not in the IUP program but I was able to reserve one as a new enrollee.
So can you reserve and pay the full price of the phone? OR does that availability link show the stores inventory so I can just walk in without a reservation and pay full price since it said in Stock or is it a special stock only for iPhone upgrade program current users or new enrolees

So I preordered the iPhone 7+ 256gb Jet Black 5 minutes after preorder and got a ship date of 10/5. I have check the "my orders" page 5 times a day. Just now, I looked and the "Deliver by" date is now gone. It still says processing though. Does that mean that hopefully the phones I ordered are preparing for shipment? Praying for something to happen

Yeah normally I would just take it as a glitch on Verizons part, but earlier in this thread someone said that their date disappeared too and not too long after that his phone shipped

on reddit I've noticed a lot of people who had arrival dates between sept 25-octobeer 10th are now getting earlier shipment times. So cross your fingers that you get a updated time for this week or next

Im hoping for a miracle! I don't mind waiting, but if I had known in advance that I wouldn't get my phone for another month anyway, I would have slept in!

My local apple store had the phone I wanted so I came to pick it up and now I'm waiting for the cancellation of my Verizon order to go through. It was still showing that I had an order with them:mad:. Also, for those of you who were asking, yes, the Verizon Monthly Payment Plan can be done in the Apple Store. That's what I'm doing

That's what I hate. It takes me like 2 days to recover from those late night pre-orders.
I got so lucky because I take sleeping medication to fall asleep, and I accidentally took it out of habit that night. I downed a cup of coffee, preordered real quick and then got knocked out cold by the meds. If I hadn't fallen asleep that night, the whole week would have been a **** show for me

It happened to me a total of three times that I go up the first time it came back with the same ship date the second time it came back with a ship date five days later and the third time it disappeared and has not reappeared and my phone has shipped

Can phone upgrades be done through them? Or no

That's what I wanted to know. My impatience is pushing me to give up the Verizon promo and go through Apple.

And it showing the preorder number again and back to the October 5th expected ship date. False alarm.

I've been watching the forum while awaiting some kind of update from Verizon, here's my preorder details to add to the stats:

- iPhone 7+ MB 128gb
- iPhone 7 MB 128gb
- I ordered these on the same order
- Confirmation email received 9/9 @ 3:31AM EST
- Original ship date 9/23
- I live in KY by the way

I had no updates until today, my preorder.verizonwireless.com status page now shows expected shipping date 9/18. I haven't been able to track via reference yet on either UPS or Fedex using the LOCATION_000ORDERNUMBER format but I've tried about 15 times :cool:

I also went to Target yesterday and they had several 7's but no 7+'s. One interesting thing, my neighbor ordered 1 minute before me and got his on launch day. Our orders were slightly different, he got a 7+ MB 128 and a 7 RG 128. He is also a current customer while I am coming from AT&T. My conspiracy theory has been that they were prioritizing current customers for launch day delivery but who knows... Good luck everyone!

I just placed an order over the phone (maybe 30min ago) with Verizon to take advantage of the Promo.

Black iPhone 7 Plus 128gb with expected ship date of 11/09.

I ordered my MB 128GB around 7pm CST on the 9th. Originally got a 9/23 shipping date, but I got tracking on Friday, so it'll be here either Monday or Tuesday.
