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

[jbachandouris]

Apple released that press note stating that their won't be any pluses in retail stores for walk ins. They actually had their Apple Store employees at the Melbourne store go out and tell the people waiting in line and almost every one left pissed.

Incorrect. They actually said to try carrier stores. And at this point, no one can prove that this is an official press release from Apple. And this is the US, not Australia.

No they did not, they specifically said to try a carrier store.

Correct they said to try carrier stores because Apple stores will only have iPhone 7 models. Proof http://www.cultofmac.com/445624/app...-friday&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter

Of those I would try At&t, find one of their higher traffic stores and go early. I am doubting Best Buy or Target will have anything.

I can tell you Best Buy won't. They just started preorders for the 7 plus yesterday. And I've had trouble with target in the past

I'm going to line up tomorrow morning just for fun (have day off anyway). If I find one, I find one. If not, I'll wait until October 4-10.

I would consider the colors in this order:
1. Jet Black 128GB or 256GB (VERY unlikely on Launch Day)
2. Matte Black 128 or 256
3. Gold 128 or 256
4. Space Gray (since I already have that color)

Space Gray is no longer an option. Silver, Gold or Rose Gold are only other colors this year.. Yuck.

Actually what worked for me last year was a very low traffic small AT&T non-corporate store in a small mall in our area. They had a light supply of every combo even rose gold 64GB 6S+. I was amazed. I got there at 10:30am after leaving AppleStore disgusted.

Screenshot pic as proof or it didn't happen.

Lol like I have to get up here and lie about a phone shipping....I'm a grown damn man what do I have or my best friend have to lie about? People kill me

 

[mjschabow]

its over for tomorrow. We should see some movement hopefully next week for those that ordered within the first 5 mins. now the question is getting shipping bumped up or not. now that this will be post launch, i wonder if apple will actually offer different speeds of shipping.

No it's definitely not. Year after year, people have seen their preorders ship out Thursday night and they've received it next day. It's looking less and less likely for tomorrow but it's still possible.

Space gray should be your first. Since if you can get one, you'll make a small fortune selling it back lol

You would see a charge or the phone in your profile by now if you were getting it tomorrow.

Not two years ago. Mine didn't charge or update in my profile until late Thursday night.

Still thinking it's unlikely but I'll still definitely be checking my bank account late tonight.

Yes.. But not with district manager reports and Apple themselves saying ZERO Jet Black in stock for launch. That turns it to an impossibility.

These few people trying to say that their friends have a tomorrow shipping date for a jet black are all just trolling us. You watch tomorrow. There won't be any proof pics online of any jet blacks for US.

Back on subject ahem. Anyone have any movement? lol

I would like to hear if the two Canadians had any more movement, that's all we have seen besides the friend of a friend confirmation.

 

[ravig292]

Apple basically gave us all the middle finger ...

"No JB 7+ for launch" because they're being used to fulfill preorders is good management & customer service.

"No JB 7+ for launch" because we just don't have any, even preorders are backlogged. That's pretty damn pathetic.

I really hope Apple comes clean with us, if this delay goes on much longer.

 

[KyleW]

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a while just to see status updates. Lo and behold I was just prepping some dinner and I get an email from apple telling me my payment information needed updating (turned out my bank was being cautious). They charged for my phone and it went to preparing for shipment. Still says Sept 26-Oct 3 though.

Any more movement ?

 

[bidwalj]

People on the other side of the world will start getting shipments in a matter of hours. I haven't seen anyone say they will get theirs.

Apple gave us the ship dates. They haven't slipped from those dates. We just assumed we would get it quicker

Give me a break, the desperation is getting silly. Until Apple misses a deadline they promised you, they don't owe you jack @#$%

 

[April Knight]

Pretty bummed out by Apple at this point. Don't feature the iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black so prominently on your website and in your keynote and repeatedly say "Available September 16" if that's not actually true. :/

 

[Michael887]

While what you say is completely true, and I agree with it:

What has apple been doing all this while? You mean to tell me that the factory has been busy pushing out every phone but the JB 7+? They didn't want to make any stock of that colour available?

If it was a production issue, wouldn't it be better to tell us rather than say nothing? I personally would be much more understanding if they said something.

Just my thoughts. Not attacking you at all. This situation is frustrating for everyone!

It's the latter of the two I'm pretty sure.. And context #2 seems clearly implied in the article from Apple.

Relax, please. I'm not saying they owe me anything... at least not yet. Perhaps I should have described the "goes on much longer" part better. Let's say they do miss my delivery date. Then yes, they would owe me an explanation.
