I think you are absolutely right! I ordered through Apple, my carrier is AT&T. Today is the 32nd straight day of "processing"! My order says 4-6 weeks. This will be the 5th week. I'm hoping we will see some kind of movement this week.
Got a tip for us?

Arrived in Incheon at 7:40 PM. Then nothing. Hope it did like yours and went straight on to Alaska. If I remember right yours didn't update right away. So I'm going with your positive thinking "while it's on it's way to Alaska"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 soonThey'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.

You're right, mine didn't update until it was already on the flight from what I remember (and it had that weird double departure scan). I'm sure you'll get word that yours is safe and sound in Alaska soon
I'm trying to stay positive and hope that mine is on the next flight from Louisville to Newark, which departs in about 30 minutes - no departure scan yet, but hoping there's still plenty of time. I tried to chat UPS today to see if they could provide me with an estimated delivery date and their response was "we're not sure, just keep tracking your package" -__-
Didn't seem to make it, flight 99 tomorrow looks like the best hope to get out of Korea.You're right, mine didn't update until it was already on the flight from what I remember (and it had that weird double departure scan). I'm sure you'll get word that yours is safe and sound in Alaska soon

Mine didn't make either of the flights out of Kentucky today
There's several overnight so I'm hoping it's able to get onto one of them.I had an Oct 18-31st Date. 256 JB 7+ IUP. Ordered within 30 mins on Sept. 9th. Changed to Shipped on Friday.....but it didn't ship from Apple. Let me explain.
I cancelled my original Apple order on Friday due to their complete and total incompetence on supply for a launch. I reordered through Best Buy on Friday and the phone shipped within 3 hours of ordering. Will be here tomorrow and also got a Mophie portable battery for 9.99 add-on. 12 months 0% Interest on my BB CC. 256 Matte Black 7+ Unlocked.

You should've called Apple first since you were iUP, your shipment was probably due soon lol.
Sitting here at day 16 of Backorder status... what gives?! At least there is only a week to go to our original ship dates now

That's really crazy - you should really try to speak to Apple if you haven't already. There's no reason why you should have to wait so long, especially for a less popular color/size.
Just curious, is it faster to order from Best Buy compared to Apple right now? I just ordered from Apple this morning this below and such a long wait time. I am without a phone as my Note 7 was taken back.

Any Black plus seems to be in the greatest demand. There have been reports of a few lucky people picking up them at Best Buy and Target, just keep checking both and also the Apple Store stock. You may wind up one of the fortunate ones.Just curious, is it faster to order from Best Buy compared to Apple right now? I just ordered from Apple this morning this below and such a long wait time.

Didn't you order thru AT&T ? Have you called them yet?Sitting here at day 16 of Backorder status... what gives?! At least there is only a week to go to our original ship dates now
Yes, I called them. I got the "when it is ready, it will be shipped out. We haven't even hit your ETA yet."
Keep checking iStockNow everyone! It's a great tool! I got my 128GB MB AT&T last week after I was just casually browsing Apple Stores around me. I drove a couple hours to get it, but I was driving a friend home on the way anyways. I am on the IUP, so i just reserved and picked up. I didn't pre-order or anything.
That doesn't sound like BS, she was given an ETA and unless they fail to deliver by the end of the ETA range, I don't see how Apple is BS'ing her?
I agree, It has just been sitting in backorder status for over 2 weeks now, when usually people see movement within 24 hours of being backordered. Just frustrating is all!
You are not the only one... but life goes on. Just a phone. Lol. Try to enjoy your life while waiting mk.
It's not Apple. She ordered thru At&t. Usually when it goes to back order with them that's like preparing to ship for the Apple orders.
