Basically what VZ told me: If you didn't select the option to trade in when you preordered, you have to wait until you get your 7 and it's active on the account. Then, you hit trade in old device and it recognizes you now have the 7 for the promo credit.

Makes sense!

Phone was picked up in Memphis this morning 2 hours away. Scheduled for delivery Tuesday. Ordered 9/9 at 2:15 am CST jet black 7 + 128. Confirmation email had ship date 10/05 changed to 9/23 on the website the morning after order. CC charged last night around 7:20 card carrier flagged as fraud had to get them to rerun it around 9:00 pm last night. Called 611 this morning and it gave me the tracking number.

Been the most frustrating preorder yet. Verizon is no help at all. Every time I spoke to them I got different information. Their website has 50 different ways to check order they all give different information. I believe calling 611 gives the most accurate up to date information on order status.

Everyone still waiting for updates hang in there. I had been checking order status calling 611 checking credit card reading on this forum. I had all but given up and wasnt thinking about it when I received an alert that my card was attempted to be charged. Good luck and hopefully there will be progress soon.

Congrats to everyone receiving there phones soon and enjoy!

No way they get away with pushing 9/23 orders to 11/23. Not only is it not likely, it's bull ****. So whoever told you that did it to piss you off, and you shouldn't have believed it.

I'm a 9/23, 7+ 128 gb JB. If they told me that on the phone, I'd tell them to go _uck themselves and ask to speak to a manager.

Anyone with a iPhone + MB 32GB still processing that ordered on 9/9 with a 10/5 delivery date?

I'm getting impatient now.
I ordered one around 12:30 et 9/9. Still shows 10/5. No charge no movement. Had a rose gold + 32 ordered 2 hours later that day that was also 10/5 but arrived yesterday.

right with ya. same phone, same order time, same dates. pushd to 10/5, now 11/30 - was told by three people it's because i live "close" to Louisiana and the flooding impacted shipments. no phones for hours in any direction at the stores. i wouldn't be mad if i wasn't leaving the country in mid-October and may not get the phone when they "promise." i just wish the dates would stop changing.

So they just told me the 11/30 date is incorrect and thats if you ordered the phone today. They said its now 10/5 ship date. So it might ship earlier if some miracle happens but with my luck it won't happen. Regardless its not as bad as the 11/23 date the first lady gave me

Apparently iPhone + MB 32GB is more popular than I was expecting. I guess that's what I get for getting a new color.

BOOOOM!! Charged and received tracking on MB 7+ 128. Ordered 1pm est. Original ship date 10/5.

Arrival scheduled for this Tuesday. See you next year suckers! AAAAAAAHAHAHAA!

JK :D

When did your charge go through? I'm just wondering if I should stay hopeful for today to see anything else other than processing.

Just wanted to update you folks, my order delivery date disappeared this morning, then I just got charged on my CC for the phone an hour ago, then upon checking my phone status after it now says that its at the warehouse and I should expect shipping/tracking info within 24 hours.

iPhone 7+
Finger Print Black
256 GB

ordered 9/9/16
Original deliver by date: 9/28/16

I almost purchased a Matte Black today after being super impatient, I'm glad someone beat me to it.

I will update status once the phone moves to keep you guys and gals in the loop
It cracks me up that you describe the color of your phone as "finger print black" LMAOO

About half of the apple stores in southern california have 32gb matte black 7Plus in stock. 256gb are super rare, and the 128gb are close to non existent.

Okay, I'm trying to reserve a spot at my apple store but it says I already have an order in progress (my preorder). How do i get past this? Also, what do I select? Pay full retail and return it in store for DPP with VZW??

Order 9/19 MB 128 7+

I started watching/participating in this forum on my order day but haven't had much to say because I'm 10 days later than most. I just have to get excited for other people posting tracking numbers. This morning, I decided an extra 6 bucks or so a month is worth not dealing with the Christmas-like anticipation. So, I reserved a 256 MB 7+ at my local Apple Store and will be picking it up this evening. I plan on still doing the $650 trade in with Verizon and I will update with results. Now iphone Christmas comes in 6 hours instead of 6 weeks!
