Every ****ing year, the same ****. People lose their minds over where their next phone is in the mail, as if it's going to make their life any better. It's a cool device, but it will not bring any true happiness. Please go outside, be thankful that you're healthy, or have friends/family. Stop with the phone obsession.

I have no vices, I don't smoke, drink, or gamble. I just want to buy an new iPhone every year.

When you log into my Verizon, select devices and view the upgrade status/availability for the line/phone you upgraded

Yup, mine shows the agreement as being signed today as well

The only thing I like about going outside is approaching the UPS person as they exit their truck and hand me my iPhone

It shouldn't, I updated my payment info because of an issue with my address and one charge is already pending, and the status says preparing for shipment.
When you updated the payment info, did the $1 temporary charge happen automatically on the new card?

I'm ready to give up. This whole Verizon launch and how they prioritize not by time actual order was placed is B.S, Other companies if your order 1 or 2 you get processed as 1 or 2 not 4 or 6 due to ease as someone mentioned was the reasoning.

Sure it's just a phone right? It's the principal of it.

Did anyone pre-order the 7plus 256GB JetBlack and had their status change?

I preordered early (on 9/8 eastern time!) and mine is still processing and my card hasn't been charged.

Sounds like you might honestly need to take your own advice...why be upset in a forum where it's titled "Verizon preorder thread" people come here to feel a sense of togetherness because everyone wants their new and shiny new phone and everyone is excited to get their new shiny phone...it happens every year. You sound like the old man that screams " get off my lawn" it's ok...take a deep breath and relax. As someone who is recovering from a pretty bad motorcycle accident and saw my life flash before me, I do appreciate as I did before my near death experience, I appreciate all the moments good or bad and like those moments I appreciate this and a few other forums. Life is meant to be lived and how folks choose to live it, enjoy it is up to each individual....I wish you peace.

ok so how do you expect them to process your order if they probably don't have that shipment then? you want them to wait for your silver phone to get in just because you were number 1? because who knows when that will be and while they have a ton of rose gold and blacks sitting just waiting to be processed you expect them to give you priority when its probably not there yet.

I still need to get my 6S screen fixed before I can send it back. I wonder how much Verizon would deduct for a cracked screen.

The Black iPhones both Variants sold out pretty quickly. As far as Rose Gold, Gold and Silver. Since those are not newer colors would not have figured there would not be such an issue with getting these orders done. Seems like They are way focused on the Black phones only.

So this either sounds like Apple under estimated the demand on this or Verizon ordered more of the Black Variants and not enough of the others. Either way it sucks with the possibility of having to wait till october

simply put it...maybe the silver shipments haven't arrived yet and they can't process something that isn't available to be processed. i would understand if you knew for sure that they had a whole shipment of silver iPhones come in but none of us do and we're all waiting. and like another person said...call verizon if anything.

Really? Because a lot of you folks who actually have tracking numbers have issues kinda understand us who don't and are waiting.

If there was only one model and variation then you would be 100% in the right. However with so many options and colors you can't honestly expect an entire logistics warehouse to cease all processesing and shipping because your certain device has not arrived at the facility yet. Your device will be shipped in the configuration you ordered in the order it was placed. That is the way all logistic facilities operate. They would never meet demands if they had to halt because one person's device had not arrived that would not be fair to the hundreds or thousands of people who ordered other configurations moments after you.

That's not what i am saying. But if the Jet black phone was the one that had the newer finish versus the normal finish iPhones. I'n not getting why those are shipping out so quickly. Those sold out faster so i would have not thought the first night of shipments would have been dedicated to those and the regular Rose Gold finish.

Yeah, no tracking info on my 256 GB JB 7+ and a delivery date of 9/28. So yeah... about that.

Yeah. Again like no Jet Blacks have been processed. Where have you been?
