Poll: ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **

[HAz]

4/6 weeks whjat a joke

 

[Vertigo]

Also when selecting Apple Stores it says unavailable for pickup?!

Picking mine up - is it certain models or stores that aren't available perhaps.

 

[HAz]

so basically tirck was to spam F5 on the come back later page

 

[^187]

Done, quoting 6-8 business days. Ive gone up in size, down in capacity.

Bought a watch too. Seeya £1420.

7+ 32GB are available for pick up on 16th still.

 

[Broken Hope]

The trick was to use the App.

Seriously? It took Apple a year to produce almost the same phone as last year and they can't even get them into the shops until next month?

This is the first time I've tried to buy one SIM free and it's a poor experience.

Oh dear

I'm convinced that they do it intentionally. Keep demand high by limiting the supply. Also, looking at the results of the poll here, I can believe the black models sold out first so probably better to wait a month or so.

7 jet black 128 for wife.
7+ gold 128 for me.
Apple Watch 2 stainless for me.
Now off to work to do much overtime to pay for it all.

So annoying that the black model buyers have to wait an extra 2 weeks

#BlackLivesMatter

I take when you say black you mean the fingerprint magnet shiny black?

This always works before the website does. Always have both site and app refreshing though in case one of them works.

Nov delivery now for the jet black pluses

 

[Steedie]

No matte black. My order email is time stamped 8:01 yet I'm still on a 26-27 delivery. Although my despatch says a few days so I'm hopeful for a 16th delivery yet. I remember there was a mess with delivery dates last year too but we all got ours on release

Not sure if serious.

It's well known that all phones get sold out within minutes. If you're not there at the start, you'll miss launch day. It's as simple as that.

 

[^187]

For those experiencing long delivery estimates, hang in there. It happens every time, people buy them online and then try the networks. Usually the delivery times come down after a few days once people cancel their online orders,or they queue up on release day on the off chance and then cancel.

Not guaranteed, but has happened to me on several occasions :]

Must be in the same boat you then as just checked my email and it must be saying the same thing as you 2-3 weeks! LOL

Hope your right about the 16th!

Oh well at least that's another £868 to offset against my tax.

 

[Bluecube]

In response to Spamalot in the previous closed thread, I ordered a silver 7+ 128Gb. I liked the look of the Matt black but wasn't prepared to wait for it. 128Gb as I don't think 32Gb will be enough especially if I start playing with raw photos.

 

[fez]

I don't think they had the 128gb black ones for pickup at all. Not a single store is available for it.

 

[Junglist]

I gave up. Decided I'll go into the store in a month or so and sign up to the upgrade plan. Bah. means I'll have to fix my 6 in the time being

i was there since 7.30 said come back later, had app on ipad and phone and website on pc and occasional f5 press but didn't get in until 8.10 I assumed the shop page was closed but obviously it was letting some people in.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Half an hour later and most are still available. If that's a sign of demand, well then.

Agreed. No way all stores insta sold out at 08:01.
