Ok Apple just issued an official statement and breaking news saying there will be no iPhone 7 Plus available for walk-ins tomorrow morning,
"Apple has issued a statement advising that it has completely sold out of the Jet Black iPhone 7 and all versions of the iPhone 7 Plus, thanks to pre-orders. It adds that ‘limited quantities’ of other finishes of the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 will be available to walk-in customers tomorrow.

We couldn’t be happier with the initial response to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and we are looking forward to beginning sales through our retail stores and partners around the world.

Beginning Friday, limited quantities of iPhone 7 in silver, gold, rose gold, and black will be available for walk-in customers at Apple retail stores. During the online pre-order period, initial quantities of iPhone 7 Plus in all finishes and iPhone 7 in jet black sold out and will not be available for walk-in customers."


I guess everyone that was planing to camp out tonight to buy a Plus Model is out of luck, these that want to buy the 4.7 inch smaller iPhone 7 might be able to get one by Walk-in as these will be available in limited quantities.

This happens every year and it will happen again next year too. It's makes good headlines and helps to good sales.

I understand it from that perspective, however, it still sucks. I preordered mine but I have a Sep. 27-29 date. Bleh
 
At least they fessed up before folks wasted a lot of time standing in line tomorrow.
 
This video just went live as well,

Once again claiming no iphone 7 Plus will be sold to Walk-ins on friday morning at all
 
Remember all that doom and gloom talk a few months back that this year would be a down year for Apple? That nobody wanted to upgrade to the 7 because it looks the same as the previous models? Splash it with a couple black options and BAM! How do like dem Apples? ;)

Demand outstrips supply again. Will Apple ever get it right? They have almost 10 years of practice and still the same old story! LOL!

It could be a supply issue rather than high demand. We'll won't know until Apple releases numbers (spring?).
 
Will this include if I went into a carrier store? Verizon told me they shouldn't have a problem in any Plus models, just the Jet Black one.
 
Boy oh boy, I can't wait till tomorrow when they open and there's no Black iPhone 7 +s for them. We are definitely going to hear it here first. Get your popcorn ready people
 
Apple (and every other business) loves preorders. Who would go through the hassle of. Pare order if they could just walk in and pick out the one they want on Friday?
