As Donald Trump would say to us: "You are the forgotten men and women of this company". This thread is to try to help the forgotten group of iPhone 7 Plus 32GB pre orderers.

I'll start this off by giving my info:

iPhone 7 Plus 32GB Black
Ordered on 9/9 - Confirmation email 3:19AM EST via Verizon website
Delivered by 9/28 changed to Expected Ship Date of 9/28 as of the morning of 9/16.

I'm on this wagon, thought this being the not so popular kid on the block the shipping would be faster but i think somehow these have less supply lol.

Ordered: 9/9
Delivery by: Oct 4-10
Still processing...

That was exactly my thought. Online polls show 5% of preorders for are the + 32GB model. Yet it seems that they manufactured a handful of them so far. I don't get it.

I figured the 32GB 7+ would be shipping first since it's not that popular but I guess not. Seems like just the 128 and 256 are being shipped today. And some of them pre ordered way later than me

7+ 32gb Black ordered 9/9 8:48 AM w 9/28 deliver by date, no update or movement.

All reports indicate 128gb was the most popular, so I would think that more of the 32gb orders would have been filled. Seems like they allocated everything to 128s in anticipation of that at the expense of others.

Definitely seems to be what happened. However with 5% of pre orderers getting the iPhone 7 Plus 32GB you would have thought that Apple would have manufactured at least enough to cover the preorder. However I have seen little to zero movement on the + 32GB front.
[doublepost=1474035091][/doublepost]I just chatted Verizon and was able to get a $20 account credit for the inconvenience of the preorder fiasco. Also had the $20 upgrade fee waived because of the promotion that was advertised but not applied to customers.

I ordered my 7+ 32gb Black as soon as I could get into the app on 9/9. My confirmation email was 3:14am(Eastern). My card was charged for the tax yesterday and it moved to Preparing for Shipment. Delivery dates still say 9/27 to 9/29.

Woah, we have the first one in the thread to move to preparing for shipment. My confirmation was 5 minutes after you and was the same color. We'll see. If you were charged for it I'd estimate you will get it Monday?

Ahh, now that makes sense! Haha. Don't feel too bad. Got a 256 Jet Black and I'm all the way out in November.
I was tempted to get a Jet Black one but I was not willing to possibly wait until Thanksgiving to get a new phone. My iPhone 6 barely holds a charge and needs to be replaced haha

3:10AM, thats the earliest I've seen. Is your expected date 9/28 also?

No, I was given a 16 September date right away. I wasn't sure from the thread title if it was just meant for those waiting for shipment or not, and since the emphasis seemed to be on ordering 7+ 32gb I thought I'd chime in. Even given the time I ordered the silver was the only color left that had Sept. 16 availability.
