So for those of us with Plus models ordered and dates of 9/23, maybe we can assume that this is the earliest date they have given. And hopefully that 9/23 will be 9/16 :D
If this is the case wouldn't we start seeing charges pretty soon.

Ordered a Matte Black 128GB 7+ on 9/9 at 3:17am EST.

Confirmation email says deliver by 9/23, and order status says ship by 9/23. Order is still processing.

I have an order for a 7 Plus 128 Rose Gold with a deliver by 9/16 via email confirmation and the status in my Verizon. I ordered at 3:02 am. It is still processing.

My friend ordered the exact same phone at 3:30 am and she has a delivery by 9/16 as well.

Rose gold would make sense to be one of the few to have a 9/16 date, it's arguably the least popular color, especially with the 2 new ones this year.

Regardless, how did you get in at 3:02?! Verizon wouldn't even let me in until :15 after.

New here.
Ordered 9/9 3:30am EDT via VZW website
7+ JB 128gb
Order status is "processing"
Got a ship/delivery estimate of 11/16....


I'm currently holding out until Wed at the latest to see if any changes take place on my order. If not, I will be cancel the order and be going to a VZW store on opening Friday morning to see if any come in. If I have to resort to that, I may even go for the 256 instead.

I don't understand how my ship time slipped so far out when later in the day 128s were still showing 10/5-10/20 iirc...

If I hadn't taken into account that next years model might be so good that I couldn't resist upgrading, I might have purchased the 256GB model. But I hand down my phones to others in the family, and they should be happy enough to get a "free" phone :) And 32 GB has been enough for them so far. Handing down a 64GB model this year.

I have no idea how I got so lucky. The last few preorders have been a disaster for me, so maybe I was just due for a smooth preorder.

There were people who were able to order even earlier via the Verizon app.

I'm in the same boat and hoping for the same thing. When I talked with Verizon on the phone, they said that when you get an email about accepting terms and conditions (if you did the device payment plan), you can expect the phone to ship soon after.

I got that on the 9th. Order status is "processing" on Verizon's web site, with the original 9/23 estimated date.

Ordered on Verizon since Apple said 2-3 weeks. Which might have been as late as the 30th.

Didn't even think about using the Verizon app, it makes sense that it would go smoother there.

Either way, sounds like you were due for a painless preorder! Mine have had no issues for the last couple of years, so I'm not too worried. Worst case scenario, one week later.

For the folks with multiple phones, did you create separate orders or one order? I ordered 2 phones on one order with two different ship dates 9-16 & 9-23( pushed to 10-5), confirmation email at 3:15 am eastern. Still processing for both. Wondering if the will ship separately ?

Does your confirmation email show the two separate delivery dates? I also ordered two phones on one order which during the order process one showed 9/16 and the other showed 9/23, but both my confirmation email and checking the order status online (still processing) only show a single date of 9/23.

Ordered a Jet Black 256 GB 7+ on 9/9. Confirmation email received at 12:18am PST

Confirmation email says deliver by 9/28, and order status says ship by 9/28. Order is still processing. Hoping to get a bump to launch day

If not this would be the first time I didn't have my phone on launch day - I was so confident - I took 9/16/16 off..... meh

If this is the case wouldn't we start seeing charges pretty soon.

I chose the installment plan, so I won't have a CC charge to go on. Looks like my first payment is due 11/1. All I've had is the $1 pending charge (for my $101.80 taxes/upgrade fee) show up.

Just had a brief online chat with a Verizon rep, take this with a grain of salt because he didn't seem very confident.

I asked when cards would be charged and shipping would start for the 7 Pluses. He says cards should be charged anywhere from 9/16-9/23 and shipping will depend on when they get the phone.

That makes it sound like they don't even have the phones yet.

Ordered iPhone 7 Plus (Black, 256 GB) on 09/09/16
Confirmation sent at 3:25am (EST) stating phone will deliver by 09/23/16
Order status states that phone will ship by 09/23/16 and that "we received your order and it is in process."

They shouldn't get the phones....don't they come from China?

So rose gold is likely the only Plus model to give a date of 9/16. Yet it is still processing unlike the 7 models which have begun to ship for many. Interesting.

I think that's only when ordering from Apple. Every time I've pre-ordered with Verizon, the phones are already at a FedEx hub. At least that has been my experience

I traded in a 6 and received $650 and a 5s and received $400. It popped up after I answered all the questions about each device and hit "appraise device". This was on the website Fri at 3:09 am EDT.

Do you know if the trade-in program is also valid for non-base models of the iPhone 7? Like if I got the 128Gb iPhone 7 model, do they offer $400 for a 5s?

Mine is still processing as well unfortunately:( 7+ 128GB Jet Black. I kinda wish I selected the Rose Gold instead, it seems like that one would likely come launch day. Fingers crossed!!
