Thread for iPhone 7+ preorders PAST 9/9 and estimated shipping/delivery dates AFTER 9/28

[daninels]

So, the other threads are nice to see how things are progressing for those who preordered on the first day (9/9). And its cool to see those people who are already getting their phones.   But I feel like the rest of the us "latey late" orderers are getting lost in the discussions because we have a bit more of a wait. So, I wanted to create a discussion for the rest of us so that once the ball gets rolling for us, we can kind of see how things go in terms of changed dates hopefully for the better and maybe earlier shipping dates.

So, if anyone else is interested this space can be for people who preordered 7 pluses AFTER the first day and who are still in the processing stage and have delivery/shipping dates PAST the 9/28 (which seems to be the latest date for 9/9 orders) date. Anyone not ordering the plus but just the 7 is also welcome to post here, but I just know that the debacle with pluses seems to be a bit more a concern for some people so I wanted to have a space for people to share here. But anyone is welcome to post.

So here just share:

Phone(s) Ordered:

Date Ordered:

Current Status:

Expected Ship date:

Optional: And also if you've heard of anyone having luck getting any of the plus models WITHOUT preorder in store recently (whether at Verizon or Apple) which I know is not yet being the case.

Thanks guys!

My preorder:

Phone(s) Ordered: 7+ matte/Apple black 256

Date Ordered: 9/12

Current Status: Processing

Expected Ship date: 10/5

No I personally haven't heard of anyone getting a plus in store at either place. Tried myself yesterday at Verizon (knowing I wouldn't but juuuust in case).

Thanks for the tip!  I thought of doing going to the Apple store, but I spoke with two different Verizon reps and they told me that you have to get the iPhone 7 through Verizon, or else you can't get the full value of the free iphone 7 trade in.  Can anyone share their experiences?  Were they able to get their iPhone 7 for free by trading in their old iPhone?  thanks!

Check your local best buy, I did and one around me had the rose gold in stock. But I'm going to wait for Verizon to ship mine so I send in my current phone.

If I am able to find the phone I want from an apple store instead of waiting my verizon preorder,  and i set it up for the verizon device payment plan, will it still be eligible for Verizons upgrade every year?? I'm really thinking of driving 3 hours to an apple store tomorrow but if I can't be eligible for that then I'm not going to bother

Update 3:

Hi everyone!

iPhone 7 Plus has shipped and will arrive within the next 2 days!!! Not bad for an October 26th estimated ship date. Never received the text, but now I have my tracking number!

Once again

Ordered: September 19

Estimated ship: October 26

7 Plus Matte Black 256Gb

confirmed as being shipped!!

Good luck to everyone

[KATHOP61]

iPhone 7 Plus has been shipped! I officially received my tracking number this morning.. yay! I should receive my phone by 9/29/2016! which is much sooner than the 10/26 original delivery date!  I hope everyone receives their phones much sooner than expected...

[Dsmith70]

Preordered iPhone 7 + 128gb in Matte Black on 9/9, shipped on 9/26! WIll have phone in hand tomorrow! 

[ELLISRICH72]

Hmmmmmmmm now these devices are moving real fast , kinda think it's because Verizon doesn't want Apple to get all the sales on these units so many people are opting to go to the apple stores to get them faster instead of waiting on dates like Nov 23rd  Geeeesssh!! Anyway congrats to everyone who has it or eventually will        

[ILOVEMYLILMAN1009]

STILL WAITING!! So very frustrating.. have heard nothing. I even ordered mine at the Verizon store. I must check my Verizon and credit card about 20+ times a day. I'm so happy everyone is getting theirs though I don't know whats going on, but it doesn't seem like much movement on the rose gold plus 128g. If anyone ordered after me and is getting the same phone please let me know if it's been shipped or movement at all.

[ashleigh_nicole]

I ordered the same phone and people that ordered after me that got jet or matte black that have a longer wait are already getting theirs. Not fair.

[DFLEMMING]

I also ordered the plus 128 GB in Rose Gold . I ordered in the 20th with and expected ship date of 11/16  and no movement ! it's killing me ! Other colors and sizes are moving but not ours

[benzz11]

Man, everyone needs to calm down. When you pre-ordered, you were given a date. If you didn't like the date it gave you, then you shouldn't have pre-ordered. I know it's frustrating, but T-Mobile and AT&T customers who ordered around the same dates as us have shipping dates way beyond ours. Over the last week we have all seen some movement, so I'm assuming we will receive our devices a week ahead of schedule. So relax, it's JUST a phone.

I'm scheduled for 10/12 on a 7+ MB 128GB. I currently have an S7 Edge that I traded my iPhone 6 for (because I'm retarded and I was probably drunk) so I hope you can feel my pain and anxiety for wanting these phones to ship sooner. There's not much we can do but wait...

[KATHOP61]

This community forum so far has been very cordial & courteous. We are encouraging one another. Please don't lecture or judge us... It's nothing wrong with hoping that we receive our iPhones earlier than expected..   

[benzz11]

How am I lecturing you, or judging you? I was clearly saying that if you order something and are given a timeline when it will be shipped, don't get upset about it not being shipped to you two weeks ahead of schedule. Apple is trying to produce MILLIONS of phones for MILLIONS of people, everyone is patiently waiting.

[ashleigh_nicole]

I stupidly traded in my 6s Plus for a stupid edge. I hate it. Should've waited the the 7 so I didn't waste money paying off half this stupid thing

[smrivera1127]

I understand what you're saying, however, when I was preordering, I was given a delivery date of 9/23 and I was okay with that. Once I got the confirmation emai, that's when everything changed and got pushed back almost 4 weeks. The other issue is how they changed everything to processing. Processing, to me, means that they have it there and are working to get it out to me. If that's not the case, just leave it alone and I'll expect and be fine with my estimated ship date.

[lilyjane07]

Couldn't have said it better, benzz11. If you are past the date VZ has given you then you have absolutely the right to complain. But it seems like all orders are either getting shipped way ahead of schedule or right on time. You were given a date when you ordered, if you can't wait until that date, then you are more then free to go buy it somewhere else. And it seems like some models/colors are available sooner then other models. Just because you ordered earlier then they did doesn't mean s***. It's whenever your specific phone is available.

I'm super anxious too, and hope our phones get here before we go on a week long trip in a couple of weeks, but all I can do is wait and see if there are any movements with my specific model and color and expected delivery date. My boyfriend has an iPhone 5S that is on its last leg, he can barely navigate on his phone. Just be glad that you have a working phone still while you wait.

[jkelley22]

people's negative attitudes are so off putting! Even if you're not complaining about your phone, what makes complaining about others complaining any better...? Just be supportive and hope you get your phones....

iPhone 7+ MB 256gb

Ordered: Sept 19th

Expected Ship Date: 10/26

Got my tracking info today, should receive it 9/29. Quite a bit earlier than expected!

[ANGEL_UNE]

Phone(s) Ordered: 7 plus 128gb in matte black

Date Ordered: 9/23/16

Current Status: processing

Expected Ship date: 11/23/16

Optional: none of the stores within 50 miles of me have any iPhone 7s in stock. It sucks that we have to wait so long for our phones. I have my trade in box just sitting by my bed reminding me that I have such a long wait ahead of me.

[PHX0529]

If I were you I would have went with the 256gb model. They are shipping 1 month quicker that's why I opted away from 128gb model. Just another option for you but they have been pushing phones out quicker lately for some so may just want to stay put.
