Last Friday, September 9, the pre-sale period of the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus opened. This phase will last one week in the countries that make up the first wave where the device will be available. It will be next Friday when the new generation of Appl's flagship is officially available in stores.
However, some units of the iPhone 7 Plus are already on the way to their new owners. Apple is rushing this year, perhaps to take advantage of the low hours of its great rival. Thus, it is very likely that we can attend the first unboxing before Friday.
The first iPhone 7 Plus are already on their way home
After the order status quickly changed to "Ready to Ship", the first wave of shipments of the new iPhone 7 Plus is already on its way to customerss. Its delivery will be made next Friday, September 16, the date of the official launch of the new devices. However, Apple has not yet updated the order status to "Shipped." How can we know then that, indeed, these iPhones are already on the road?
Some users have already been able to find their new iPhone 7 Plus on their Technical support profile Apple, while others have been able to confirm it through UPS shipment tracking. According to MacRumors, they have been able to observe that numerous orders appear but even so, what cannot be assured is that they are already being massively distributed.
It is necessary to point out that the shipments of units of the iPhone 7 Plus to which we are referring would be produced in the United States where, as you already know, they always have an advantage.
How do you know if your iPhone "is on"?
If you are reading us and you are a buyer of the iPhone 7 Plus in the United States, you can try to find out if your device is already in the hands of UPS and is on its way to your hands. To do this, you simply have to enter the function «Follow-up by reference» that you will find in the UPS website. Once there, all you have to do is enter the phone number associated with your Apple ID with which you have made the purchase.
If this doesn't work for you, you can also use the order number provided by Apple, excluding the last two digits.
And if you're a UPS customer with a "My Choice" account, your iPhone 7 Plus order information will appear directly in your account, without the need for any of the aforementioned searches.
For Non-US Buyers, as in the case of Spain, you can test by consulting your technical support profile. All the devices associated with your Apple ID appear there. If your new iPhone 7 Plus appears, it is very likely that it is already on the way or, at least, in the hands of the transport agency. But do not trust yourself, that this gives me that it is not an exact science.
When will the first iPhone 7 reach users?
Since last Friday, September 9, at 9 a.m. local time, it is possible to purchase at presale any model of both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
On this occasion, 29 have been the countries selected to integrate this first wave of the launch: United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States Virgin Islands, and Spain.
In all of them, the first shipments must arrive no earlier than Friday 16. This is the day set for the official launch of the new terminals. However, it is common for a package to arrive earlier than expected, either due to confusion, or because it is a luxury for the delivery person not to have to return to your area tomorrow. If this happens, before Friday we will be seeing the first unboxing of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
