I don't believe they have the power to change the actual delivery dates either, just that they may be able to upgrade the shipping from say ground to next day (for the post 16th orders anyway)

I feel like at this point, why does Apple even hold a pre-order? Why not just let everyone try their luck on launch day lol.
Think its just a way to get money up-front. Gaming companies do the same, the new Tesla car lol, I remember even the Smart car when it first came to the U.S. They're unsure of the success and don't to risk producing more than they have so they take our money and make just enough units.
Not cool but given the latest news and reports on the population's interest on iPhones, they were playing it extra safe.
Just my guess.
On another note. I just hope with this lawsuit going around from Apple upgrade program participants towards Apple, they don't start giving our pre-orders to them and make us wait longer, now that would really suck lol.

After preordering, I plan to wait in line at the nearest AT&T Retail Store.
Since they don't take your money for real until they ship, I doubt they do this just to get the cash a day or two earlier.
This is true ^
In my eyes its taken though lol, since i have a hold and the money isn't available but to the effects they don't really have it either. I guess it still gives them a good number so they don't over produce units.
In my case they did take the money up front. Is right there as a cleared charge in my credit card statement.
Why?
Trying to get one and if lucky you cancel your pre-order?
Its funny how that all works. I remember back when pre-ordering the HTC 10, most people didn't get charged the moment they pre-ordered but in my case just as JCCL said now, i did get charged right there and then.
What size do you want? I did the same a few years ago at ATT they didn't have the top tier storage. I still bought it but eventually returned it once the higher capacity was in stock.
7+. Black. 32gb. ATT. Oct 4-10.
I have a feeling I'm going to be able to find this thing in store sometime next week! I can hope, right?

2:31am confirmation (CDT)
32GB 7+ Matte Black (ATT) on Apple.com
Ships in 2-3 weeks with delivery of Oct 4-Oct 10...
Still processing of course. Nothing in Support page and nothing on UPS but the case I ordered (which will be delivered today so thats one good thing)
I'm in the same boat. And I'm beginning to wonder this as well because I'm so impatient. The only problem being that I signed up for the AUP originally.

Same here. Never waited in line for launch as I've always preordered in the past but kind of sounds like a fun atmosphere! Gonna show up to my local ATT store an hour or 2 before 8 and hope for the best!
(again) all iPhones bought from Apple.com are shipped Next Day Air from US hubs so this is totally unnecessary

This year everyone at home will get an iPhone 7 Plus: a Black 256GB, a Gold 256GB, and a Gold 128GB.
Why? Because I do not want to wait until September 28th. If I get the devices I want, I will cancel the pre-order.
Good luck on the 256's. You might have luck with the Gold 128. Seemingly and and in my opinion rightfully so, Apple seems to give priority to their own stores over carrier stores.
I'll try the same, imagine my ship dates are for Oct. Stores down in my area are a bit hectic though. I'll still swing by any chance i get and see if i get lucky.
Based on a poll here my selection isn't the most poppular, 7+ 32gb black and rose.
