It's like the white iPhone 4s that took months before they actually got around to shipping them LOL

Except those were rumoured to be a colour option (iirc), so it didn't really matter if they came out. Apple basically made the JB 7+ a focal point of their unveil. That's why it's much worse now. :rolleyes: :)

I genuinely wonder with all the review units and warnings about scratching if there wasn't a last minute correction or QA that happened that moved the production run of these back a week to mitigate some of the issue. Totally possible.

I wish Apple had their phones on display first before opening up preorders so we can pick which one we would like better. It's better for us and more convenient for them since it would reduce their return/exchanges. Plus, I feel it would slightly help with how quick we get our preorders since there would be less people to hog up more than one model just to see if they would like it or not.

This would be awesome. Eliminates the trial and error process and frees up models for folks who know exactly what they want. Win/win.

As for the order # conversation: I don't think they're significant. I've got a 12:11 confirmation time and my order # starts with W55. That order also includes my watch and headphones.

Agree 100%! I wonder just how many phones Apple receives back from an initial launch that people decided they didn't like and wanted to exchange.

You mean a Bunsen burner Sorry had to...

At first I wasn't worried, but every other week there's a report and now the government is stepping in. Then my phone completely died at 40% the other day.

Needless to say, I picked the wrong iPhone to be stuck in this predicament lol.

The white iPhone 4 had me so excited, and then they had the manufacturing issues with it. It wasn't a rumored option -- it was announced during the iPhone 4 reveal. Not until the 4S was the white readily available. I waited a few months and then caved to upgrade my iPhone 3G. HA. Good times.

Thanks for correcting me. Let's hope it isn't months before we all see our Jet Black Pluses! :eek::p

That's right, it was the iPhone 4, not the 4s! My Bad. Either way, hopefully there wasn't/aren't any manufacturing issues with getting these 7+'s out to us!
 
All I know is:

Its only been 4 days since we've all preordered. It feels so much longer than 4 days. Waiting is awful.

Reading these forums just makes me more anxious... but I want to know if Oct 4 - Oct 10 ship dates are moved up! lol

On top of that, I'm still trying to decide if I want to and which apple watch to buy... I didn't pre-order. Maybe after some more review Firday/Saturday we will find out of the series 2 gets better battery life than expected (or stated).

Which is why I will be at the Apple Store at 5AM on Friday and will get Matte Black instead. Shame on Apple announcing a product they had no intention of delivering!

When you ordered it, you were never promised a delivery on launch. I knew ordering mine that I wouldn't get it on launch day.
 
Jet Black + 128gb 9/19-9/26 it gets here when it gets here.

My signed EIP agreement came in at 2:05AM
Second email with order number 2:48AM
