Oct 18 - Oct 31 original ship date

[AppleAnnon]

Honestly, I am just trying to not think about it! I wake up in the morning and do the *6737#, and when I go to bed I do it too. Secretly, I hope i see a status change, but I don't bank on it! Super bummed at this point as it seems everyone else is moving so much faster while in backorder status. It's a freaking 32gb rose gold for goodness sakes!! Not a JB or anything crazy!! I ordered on 9/20 with an eta of 10/18-10/31 and went on BO on like 9/26

I did the same too hoping it would happen. Don't lose hope and yeah it's crazy it's backordered since it's not as popular as the other colors and gigs. Maybe they decided to mass produce the jet and matte black and it's delaying the others. Idk it's just a guess ☹️.

I've been monitoring all threads to see the status on everyone's phone as I have been so impatient to get mine too so here are my details:

Ordered my iPhone 7plus 128gb Matte Black at a Houston AT&T Store Launch Date Sept 16 and received my confirmation email that my order was received at 9:39am. I did the exchange program as I have the iPhone 6 and was quoted expected delivery date Oct 21-28. Two or three days later it changed to PFS and remained like that for about 2weeks. Yesterday Oct 5 at 10:18pm I received an email from ATT saying my phone was shipped. I checked details today on UPS Tracking and says

Service Level:
UPS 2nd Day Air®

Package Progress

• US
• 10/05/2016 8:13 A.M.
• Order Processed: Ready for UPS

I'm excited my phone is shipped but now I'm just stalking the page in hopes of a better idea of when the phone will get here so I don't miss the delivery. Anyone know? There isn't anymore movement so I'm wondering what's going on.

*Update UPS tracking says it arrived today Oct 6 at 12:35PM in Fort Worth, TX and will be delivered tomorrow Oct 7 by end of day. I really hope you guys get good news soon too! Oh and btw I'm not seeing the tax charge on my checking account so if you don't see it on there yet it's not necessarily a bad thing.

So tired of this waiting...your lucky

I really did get lucky! I was so impatient and was getting tired of seeing no movement. Hopefully you see some movement soon as well!

My wife's 7+ 128gb Rose Gold had a date of Nov 4-11 and she got hers Monday and I'm still impatiently waiting for my MB 128gb 7+.

I'm honestly surprised too. Looking at iStocknow, it's not widely available tonight (I just took this screenshot) but it's not exactly a unicorn either. I would have though yours had shipped by now.

Just received shipping notification from Apple, took almost 24 hours to ship after changing from processing to Preparing to Ship. Shows delivery date of 10/14, which if it doesn't change would be 28 days from order date. Have tracking number but nothing on UPS yet.

Great that it's finally shipped at least. They showed 10/14 at first for me too but it changed to 10/12 this morning (on UPS, anyway - Apple's site still says the dreaded 10/18-31). Haven't seen any movement since early this morning though, with an arrival/departure/arrival scan in ZhengZhou.

Looks to be tracking a day behind you, will see if in the morning UPS updates. Thanks

This is starting to border on ridiculous.

I just got a pending charge on my account from AT&T for the tax. Hoping to see some movement today.

As of this morning UPS now shows 10/13 delivery date.

Day 11, or 12, I can't remember, of being on Backorder!! I was PFS within 24 hours of placing order. I was so excited when I saw Backorder status... not so much anymore. To add more salt to the wound I received my tempered glass screen protectors today, and my case will be here tomorrow :'(

If it's any consolation, I received my phone case days before the phones even went officially on sale (I ordered it before the preorder even, because I was so sure I'd have it by the release date). It's been sitting on my desk collecting dust for the past month.

No movement with mine since it arrived in Anchorage yesterday. Guess the 10/12 delivery date will be accurate after all forgot that it's a semi-holiday Monday too so that might delay things further.

You still may get it early, keep up that positive vibe and send a little our way!

Guys there has been a full week long holiday for China's national day so that probably explains a lot of the recent delays.

Its not a conspiracy.

Mine's in the final legs of its journey, but no movement since it landed in Kentucky earlier today and there's no outgoing flights from Kentucky any time soon They've also removed the delivery date from my tracking due to the bizarre 'mechanical' problem that occured overnight, so I have no idea when it will actually be coming.

I hope you see movement on yours soon! You *should* be seeing some kind of update by the morning.

So you're getting yours around 10 days earlier than the original ETA. We both have all of the same variables except you're Verizon and I'm T-mobile and we ordered at almost exactly the same time.

What gives, I wonder why yours has so much activity and I'm still in processing.

It kinda weird both my wife's and my phone were delivered by USPS and the only apperent origination scan was Tennessee. We didn't see any overseas locations.

 

[Fortunr]

Still absolutely 0 movement and I'm on Verizon, but ordered through Apple. Don't think the carrier would make a difference. At this point, I've accepted that the 18-31st is exactly what it's going to be.
