You need to call and tell them that you're not paying due to poor planning on their behalf. Don't ask them. You need to tell them.
I'm gonna have to do the same, I see absolutely no sense in paying for my 6s of my 7+ was supposed to have been here today. But well it's not lol

I was on chat for 45minutes but since Sprint Chat doesn't support emoji then I was unable to display my frustration and anger.

I'm on hold with customer support now. I may have to pull out the big guns and declare how many years I've been with Sprint. That move always impresses them.

What chaps my rear is my device now ships within the same time frame as someone who ordered one by 3pm central today according to my status.

Now tell me again why I was up preordering in the wee hours of 9/9?

Same. I could have saved almost 5 hours of sleep lol


Apparently the Note 7s will be back in stock next week and some people are cancelling their 7 plus pre orders for the note 7.

If I could escape the iPhone Forever (waiting) I would consider a note. Pyrotechnics aside, it's a solid device.

Sadly Sprint and Apple have me by the short and curlys.

Personally I feel like Apple decided to cover its ass with this launch, protecting its precious IUP after being called out on the 9th. Understandable to a point. Hanging retail partners out to dry is still a dick move.

Live and learn. Doubt I will bother preordering next year.

My Iphone 7 plus case shipped this morning. Will come tomorrow (ordered from Amazon). Not sure when the phone will come, my status says between 09/23/2016-09/30/2016. I have to admit, I am bummed. I'm glad I have my phone that works--but I was looking forward to getting the new one.

It's crazy!! But Apple is to blame for the low volume rollout of Jet Black. Not sure what they were thinking going forward with the release without building up more inventory of their flagship phone. Maybe things will equalize by Christmas time :p

It's not just the jet black--granted those are the worst. I ordered the Gold and didn't see one of those ship out with the higher tiers of data. My dates are not as bad as the other ones. This is what my order status says now (I ordered on 09/09/2016 at 1:43 a.m. PST--after all the fiasco with Sprint's Website):


Your order for the iPhone 7 Plus Gold 256GB has been received and will deliver 9/23-9/30 if ordered by 12PM CT on 9/17. Your order will deliver 10/16-10/30 if ordered after 12PM CT on 9/17. You may track the progress of your order at www.sprint.com/myorder. Additionally, keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Thank you for your patience.

Now it did.
9/23-9/30
I checked that website istocknow.com and now I'm considering cancelling if it doesn't ship tomorrow

Did you notice that Verizon has quite a few of different ones in stock now? They must have gotten stock over the weekend.
[doublepost=1474211902][/doublepost]Also, how sure are we that this is correct information? I checked last night and there were not any places that had the plus and now this morning there are quite a few?

I don't know I'm about to pass both malls. Those may be reserved phones. They still say pickup unavailable in the apple app store.
