Just one week after Apple said there would be no iPhone 7 Plus stock on launch day for walk-in customers, in-store availability of the dual-camera smartphone has reached its widest level yet across the United States. iPhone Upgrade Program members can use Apple's online reservation system to secure their model for in-store pickup, or visit an Apple location as a walk-in customer.

iPhone 7 Plus stock at Apple Stores in the U.S. on Thursday

iStockNow, a website that uses Google Maps to visualize the real-time status of iPhone availability at Apple Stores, currently shows iPhone 7 Plus models in select colors and storage capacities available in dozens of states, such as California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, the Carolinas, and Texas. Jet Black models, however, remain out of stock at stores across the country.

iPhone 7 Plus stock at Apple Stores in the U.S. on Tuesday

iPhone 7 Plus models in select storage capacities and colors, sans Jet Black, are also available in Canada at Eaton Centre in Toronto, Markville Shopping Centre in Markham, Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket, Masonville Place in London, Rideau Centre and Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, and Place Sainte-Foy in Québec City. Availability in western provinces should be updated around 8:00 a.m. local time.

Reserve and Pick Up in Canada is not tied to the iPhone Upgrade Program, and simply allows customers to reserve and pay for an iPhone at a local Apple Store, with a 30-minute check-in window. Activation is available for carriers like Bell, Rogers, and Telus, or customers can buy an iPhone outright and use their own SIM card. Make sure to have a piece of government-issued ID with you upon pickup.

iPhone 7 Plus availability could change at any time. iPhone 7 models remain more widely available in both the U.S. and Canada.

Here in the UK its starting to feel like my iPhone 7 Plus (Jet Black, 128GB) will take weeks to arrive, if they can't even roll out properly in the states, what chances do we have?!?! how can be considered anything short of a **** up??
 
Just got a email from Target Mobile telling me that my iPhone 7 plus is ready for pickup. People forget about Target and about the Apple products that they sell in the stores. The store also had the new Apple watch series 2 in stock so i think i will pick up my first Apple watch, when i go to pick up my iPhone 7 plus today. Why wait months when you can just go to a retail store and pick it up.

What does this mean exactly, no one wants iPhone 7, or iPhone 7 stock levels are high? Would be nice if Apple released weekend sales figures like they used to only up until recently.

actually sounds like to me that they screwed up inventory chain levels and couldn't get shipments to stores in volumes large enough to account for demand until a week later.

We still have not seen any numbers for the Apple Watch.

I am sure if the numbers would make Apple look good, they would release them proudly.

If we do not hear anything from Apple about the numbers, some could take that as less than desirable sales.

Just my opinion.
 
I laughed at your "improved stock" map.
One of the only areas that are red, is my area (Tampa Bay).

I'm not sure if this area gets limited stock or it just sells better here.

Orlando gets flooded with stock every day.

Under promise and over produce.

Expectations kept low and then deliver above those expectations. I wonder if they've gotten used to a balance of the colours that were most popular? Surely not if Jet Black is so widely unavailable. No doubt the others might have improved.

Zero Jet Black 7+ of any capacity. Matte black is showing moderate availability though. Looks like I'll still be waiting until November for Verizon to deliver my pre-order.
