Non-launch day group for Apple.com orders

Order Processing still

I don't expect to get it this week but I do think it will be earlier than the delivery estimate from past experiences.

I also don't believe any random Apple support person has any power to change actual delivery dates on the limited supply of iPhones. Logically speaking with a limited supply of phones, any actual increase in delivery dates would require someone else to receive their phones later. I don't think Apple gave anyone at the support level the power to do that.

I don't think people are lying about their interactions with support but I think all the support staff are doing is giving a less conservative delivery date. People will still get their phones at the same date they would have which will still likely correspond to their "improved" delivery date if not even earlier but no sooner than they would have otherwise.

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)
 
Seems no one has gotten shipment confirmation yet. I think we may start seeing these after launch day.
 
9:20 confirmation
Apple Store app
iPhone 7+ 32GB Matte Black
Delivery: October 4-10
Still processing
Spain
 
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.

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.

After preordering, I plan to wait in line at the nearest AT&T Retail Store.

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.
 
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.

THis for me as well.... I may just run to an ATT store that morning though and try my luck

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!
 
Let us know how it goes. I'm planning on swinging by and just checking the availability but given past experiences i think it's going to be something id rather watch from a far. Lines down here in Miami get insane.

(again) all iPhones bought from Apple.com are shipped Next Day Air from US hubs so this is totally unnecessary

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.

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.

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.
