My Phone, ATT SG 256, 00:16:59, Nov 17 - Nov 24...
CC Charged Nov 7th, just past noon.
I received a tracking number at midnight 7th-8th.
According to Apple, shipped Nov 8th, but there was no tracking information to go on.
Delivery is expected, on the 14th, but at the moment there is an Exception on tracking. Seems to be stuck in ZhengZhou, with no delivery date set... Tentative.
Although I had a similar delivery estimate, last year, I received my phone one week after launch.
So this year is not a good an outcome. I was 5 minutes faster on my order, for the iPhone 7+ JB.
