TBH, I'd give it a try with reserving through Apple. You can always just cancel your Verizon one once/if you get a reservation. I tried last night at 12:01 but since I want the MB 7+ 256 GB i had no luck, but quite a few appointments for the other phones were available. My plan is get on at 12:01 every night and just check..maybe even set an alarm if I'm already asleep (which is rare. haha) That may sound excessive, but its two minutes of my time to check and then I can turn over and go right back to sleep. LOL

Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Verizon Pre-Order Thread

Ordered the 7 plus JB with 10/26.
I didn't do the $650 trade in offer with the preorder.
Now I see on the vz site the $650 offer expires 9/30.
Will I still be able to do the $650 trade in still after I get my phones on 10/26 since the site says offer through 9/30?

My guess would be you have to order the phone by that time, not necessarily have it in-hand.

i was finally able to get a Verizon rep on the phone last night, I was on hold for 25 minutes. And he confirmed that 10/26 is my date. No movement here. Of course it's the 128 JB 7+.
I did get it resolved. I found out that the Siri volume was too low. I turned it up and the dictation button was much better !!
I spoke with a friend (Verizon rep) today that said they are having trouble getting stock in from Apple, apparently Apple is catering to their orders first, and compensating for the iPhone upgrade program customers... and then carriers get what's left
Yeah. That sounds about right. I ordered on 9/12 (7+ MB 256GB) and my estimated ship date is 10/5.
Do you have an Apple store nearby that you can try to reserve at?
I think that was his opinion of what's happening. I really doubt Apple is going to say they are catering to the people that ordered direct from them first. i read an article stating there was a percentage of phones shipped to each carrier based on their expected order load that was based on their current customer load with iPhones. I think we are all looking for a way to explain why we weren't first in line. I can't imagine being a rep at Verizon, Apple, or any of the other carriers right now and answering this question 100's of times.
Can anyone confirm you can use subsidy upgrades at the Apple Store when you make a reservation? I'm seriously tired of waiting for my plus and just want to walk in the store and be done with it. But I'm not sure if they'll allow it. Like am I able to order with the pick up option and get it?

Seems like the remaining crew here are dual orders and JB folks.... don't you JB folks worry about scratches.... the videos out there show a pretty bleak future
Nope, MB 7+ 128GB (this order placed at 5Am HST 9/9). 10/5 expected ship date
have you seen the videos out there on JB?? It looks amazing until someone uses it.... fingerprints are horrid and the scratch prevention is also, horrid....
Waiting on 2 JB+
We'll have cases on them so not worried. Just want them here already!
Alright, no idea WTF is going on. 611 last night said my original order was cancelled. Called support, reordered, and had a jump the line request filled out. I 611 again today to check if the order had been moved up from 11/09/16, but the confirmation number they had was for my original order. I was about to hang up when it said "Your shipment has been processed and shipped with an estimated arrival of 2 business days". So I guess I somehow have 2 phones on the way? I'll cancel the later one once I know for sure I'm getting the device. 128 MB 7+ btw.
What was your original ship date supposed to be? Mine is and has been 10/5 since I ordered my mb 7+ 128. No movement at all.
can anyone help me? Every time I go to the pre-order page where it asks for the confirmation number and your last name/business name it says nothing found for the confirmation number. Is there a difference between the confirmation and the pre-order numbeR?
Yes there is. When I called 611 to verify shipping info it said "your order ending in 1234" and the numbers they gave were not at all similar to the online order number or the ACE number. They gave me the full confirmation number and it does not work in that link.
Make sure there are no spaces. I noticed it doesn't work if there's a space. And there's no difference between confirmation and pre order number.
Yes there is, You are looking for the preorder confirmation number in your confirmation email. If it's not there, which isn't unheard of, you will have to get it from vzw.
My Apple Store has a 7plus in stock with my confirguation..my pre order has been in processing since 9/9 with a ship date of 10/5.. I already have my iPhone $650 trade in box for my iPhone 6... am I able to just go through Apple after canceling my pre order? I don't want to lose my trade in promo... has anyone else done this successfully? I won't sacrifice the $650 for the ability to get it tmrw vs 3 weeks..
What was your original deliver by date in the confirmation email?
