I think it does. I've been reading that absolutely no AT&T retail locations will be receiving any jet black pluses on launch day.
Got a tip for us?

7+ Jet Black (128/256) Date Change Thread

No different from the older iPods and iPhone 3G/3GS. Just depends on how abused it is. Resale shouldn't really be affected.
If any store were to have them, they would be the Apple stores and from what I've been gathering, I doubt they will have any either. Maybe that one slips through the country at one specific store lol.
It even seems like those people waiting in line will have alittle shock themselves. Most of the launch day stock is for IUP Reservation customers.
I think people will be more pissed when they see there is no Jet Black and decide "Well Matte Black does look great too, I'll take that in 7+ please!"
"Sorry sir/ma'am, we don't have stock of that either."
Oh the fights that will erupt.
More like people condemning Apple or a sudden surge in Silver, Gold, or Rose Gold.
It may not be a 7+, but damn that Jet Black looks good!
Staying the course, so that I get mine in a couple of weeks!
I wouldn't be surprised if Apple is pulling every piece of retail stock they can find to have available for IUP folks that couldn't get orders processed last Friday.
Watching that makes me want my JB even more..! Absolutely gorgeous!
Lol I'm beginning to think Apple underestimated their own fan base. Given the redundant design and lack of headphone jack, Apple probably thought they would have a lackluster (still better than others lol) year.
It was posted earlier but I want to know who this. Out of all the reviewers, some guy at a research firm gets one?

He's a huge apple guy and posts very positive articles about them.
I have a buddy who works at an AT&T store, and he said that they are thinking of putting a note on the door stating something like "no Jet Black iPhones are expected to be in stock, wait in line at your own discretion"
Don't know if they will or can actually do that but it would save people a lot of time and anger lol.

About 75% of the stock is reserved for IUP customers.

Most carrier stores will only have about 4-5 phones per store.

It's fun reading old articles like this and wondering how Apple estimates the Jet Black much later. Maybe they ran out of black dye?

There were numerous manufacturing problems. But, Apple never guaranteed them on launch day.
