I have one on order I have enough to buy one outright but apple won't let me order one with the order I did online in place. can you reserve one with a pending order?
why is the upgrade program faster at getting the 7 pluses rather then buying at full price?
Are you buying it outright, or on a plan for ATT? If outright, I'd buy the Verizon or Sprint over the ATT one. Just pop in an ATT sim and you're good to go.
I sadly do not possess the funds to purchase the model I want outright. I'll be using AT&T NEXT.
Made a reservation at the Apple Store last Sunday and picked it up four hours later - MB 164 plus. I noticed that the reservation page did not bring up California locations when I checked at 6AM. But at 8AM all inventories were updated and I grabbed mine at 0801.. I suggest checking local stock at that time each day.
You should have given them feedback
Be like, you guys should have one person monitoring the front of the line and also fielding Qs <-although this I really blame the dum dums because seriously, in his shoes, what can you do?
And another person going down the line, helping folks make reservation so that they know the model they're waiting for is actually available and you wouldn't need to wait in line for that long.
And I'm guessing that guy was suppose to go down the line or something but got sidetracked along the way?
I was able to secure a 128GB Matte Black 7+ (AT&T). I used the Apple website to hold it for pick up.
If you have ordered one on the att payment plan and are waiting can you reserve one if it is available?
I was debating so I preordered on the day it came it out and received a call two days after. LOL
I never worry buying the iPhone, I always buy the highest capacity. Even Best Buy where I picked my 256GB Rose Gold Plus tells me it's the easiest to get.

1) Most people don't buy their phones outright
2) More scalpers probably buy outright
3) Apple screwed up on launch morning and sent upgrade people thru the wrong queue on the site and has been trying to make it right.
Website says check back AFTER 12:01 and it normally updates at 12:02:30 or so.
It updates Eastern States at 12:02 Eastern, Central States at 12:02 Central, etc.
Check back at 12:02 local time.

I've seen MB 7+s in the Houston area each of the last 3 nights but they all sell out 5 minutes or less from inventory going live at 12:02.

I'm unconvinced about 12:01 AM being the time to wait for.
I checked for a 128GB MB AT&T 7 Plus on Monday night just after midnight. Hemmed and hawed a bit (I had one on order from AT&T for 10/14-21 shipment), and by 12:30 it was gone.
Tuesday I decided that if I could reserve one at a local Apple store, I would go for it. I checked every couple of hours through the day for my model, but no local stores (and there are twelve within driving distance of me) had my model.
Just for fun, I checked the Apple app around 10:30 PM Tuesday night - and my model was in stock for "Pickup tomorrow." I didn't procrastinate this time.
Since I was ordering using AT&T Next, I first cancelled my AT&T order to get my Next eligibility back. Fortunately, AT&T reset my eligibility within seconds. I then ordered from Apple for Wednesday pickup. Yesterday I went in and picked up my new iPhone!
Because I had an iPhone 6 Plus, I am doing the $650 rebate deal. Today I went in to my local AT&T corporate store, and turned in my iPhone 6 Plus. That went very smoothly - no problem at all that I had made the purchase from Apple. All they cared about was that I had financed through Next and that my 6 Plus worked and was in good condition. The whole process at the AT&T store only took about 10 minutes - and that included a pitch for Direct TV.
