It is bad PR for Apple. Quantities unable to meet excessive consumer demand is one thing - that story will play all day for Apple. However, no phones available whatsoever is a screwup and looks bad. Period.
Nope. Otherwise ship dates would have fallen to October just a few hours after pre-order launch.
Who are you Relentness Power and what do you have to hide! LOL! Forstall in disguise ?
Do you ask for Samsung sales figures also?.All we are asking for is sales figures. It's what happens when you are analytical over faithful
I'll,see if I can find the article on a seal issue I read.
I think this year is a little different. A lot of people with the iPhone Upgrade Program were upset that, due to hiccups with the computer system, they weren't going to be receiving a device on launch day despite attempting to order within minutes of pre-orders starting.
It's a jumble of electrons/neurons in my head that used to be organized. :/Millions of Gold, Pink,and Silver out there still.

I believe you thinking of the Sony Camera Module for the 7 that was effected by the Taiwanese Earthquake. No A10 issues that I'm aware of.
I agree jet black was a late choice from Apple. But they must have instantly known it would be a hit. And putting it front and centre at the keynote and on all marketing materials both confirmed and strengthened that.The reason why I believe the jet black is popular is because throughout the leaks, most of it was for the matte black (aka space black). I believe the manufacturing for the jet black came late into the stages. That's my theory why it has become so scarce and Apple probably didn't expect it to become so popular. Jet black was probably a late edition and unexpected success.
If you don't plan being an iPhone 7+ scalper, I really don't see anything bad at waiting for it even if it takes a month or so. Give it some time to iron out all the bugs. Look at Note7 owners. It took only two weeks until Samsung did the recall. Who knows what early issues and -gate problems comes out of the 7? Your delivery might be delayed, but you still have time to cancel your order and change your mind if you don't like what you see.
Patience is a virtue. This is basically what early adopters are for these launch days...
Yup, guinea pigs to do some beta testing for you. They pay all that money to be the first owning it and then the first to experience problems. That's like signing up to be in the front line during a war. Chillax. Wait for all the reviews and early issues to be sorted out. I bet some people who had their Note7 exploded on them wished they waited.
There probably were devices allocated for retail stock, but in an effort to appease all the people upset with the IUP issues, I bet they're giving the devices to them instead.
I just called my local Apple store and was told this exact same thing. When I mentioned that I heard they would not have stock if the iPhone 7 Plus on launch day she just said "Where did you hear that?" She put be on a brief hold to go check on some stock information for me and said that they WILL have stock of all phones tomorrow. It might be limited stock, but they will have some stock. As far as the days after, there's no guarantee they will get more stock in Saturday for the new reservations that will begin, but she said I can check online Saturday morning and see if there are any available.
