When Will My iPhone 7 Arrive?
The iPhone 7 delivery time hasn’t been pinpointed, so it’s hard to say exactly when your iPhone 7 delivery will arrive.
Normally UPS and FedEx show an estimated delivery time and even a delivery window, but even with UPS My Choice there is no specific delivery window. This makes it difficult to know when you need to be home before you can sign for your iPhone 7 delivery.

Based on our experience of ordering new iPhones for delivery on release date, the iPhone 7 will likely arrive at the same time as your regular UPS or FedEx deliveries.

How Can I Track My iPhone 7 Delivery?
The easiest way is to log into your account at Apple or check your email for an alert from the carrier or the store where you bought it.
If you ordered from Apple and you still don’t see a tracking number, use it to find your tracking number before Apple adds it to your account. It looks like Apple doesn’t show tracking on your account until you’ve passed the “import” phase with UPS.
Can I Receive My iPhone 7 Shipment Early?

My iPhone 7 Is Still In The Country, Will I Get It?
We always hear from worried buyers who now have a tracking number, but they find that the iPhone 7 is in the middle of the country, with only a day left.
While we can’t track your shipment, we do get enough packages to be on a first-name basis with delivery drivers in our area, and it’s not uncommon to see a shipment from Texas or Kentucky arrive at our door overnight. UPS and FedEx are logistics companies that know how and when to move a package to get to your door at the right time. While it may seem impossible to get from point A to your door overnight, the final leg of a delivery can happen very quickly.
What Time Should I Queue on iPhone 7 Release Day?
It all depends on where you live, what kind of store you go to, and what phone you want.
Often times users have good luck going to a carrier store rather than an Apple Store, and especially an off-road carrier store. Last year some users came in after work and bought iPhone 6s without a line.

If you’re looking to queue up at a carrier store, 5-6am is a time when we usually see lines stretching out to more than a handful of people. It could start earlier this year as Apple announced limited availability.
Some lines are already forming at an Apple Store, but some places in malls will not be able to officially launch lines until a certain time. An Apple Store near us will start queuing in front of the store at 05:30.
No need to queue for the iPhone 7 Plus. Apple announced that the iPhone 7 Plus is not available for purchase on Friday.
When Do I Have to Go to the Apple Store for iPhone Reservation?
If you have an iPhone 7 reservation, you don’t need to go to the Apple Store and wait in line for hours. An Apple Store employee recommends arriving 15 minutes before the reservation time.

Note that due to lines and other issues, your reservation is for half an hour, so you may not show up immediately and the purchase may take up to 30 minutes.

Many users are concerned that there is no indication of an iPhone 7 reservation in the Apple Store app under reservations. This is normal. Check your email as Apple sent a confirmation this week after you placed the reservation and reminder.
What Do I Need to Bring to the Apple Store?
If you are making the iPhone Reservation program, you must bring two forms of identification; your operator information, including passwords, and potentially the last four digits of the primary users’ social security number. Check it Acceptable ID formats for Apple.
You should also bring your current mobile phone with you and make sure you have a backup.
