No, actually in Silver (Cumberland Mall). That's the color I wanted anyway
There so many 7s available around me its ridiculous.... I wish I didnt have to make up for my insecurities downstairs with a large phone nahmsayin
It almost seems like Apple forgot to turn on the regular reservations page, or maybe they are still only just letting people with IUP reserve due to the problems with pre-orders.
Was anyone in the US able to successfully reserve a 7 Plus on the IUP page? I checked so many stores even right when various time zones went live, and I didn't see a single 7 Plus.

Hmmm... I'm a bit concerned. I was able to reserve a 128GB 7 Matte Black, but when I looked at the stuff it told me to bring it, it said that I needed to bring in my current phone to turn in for the IUP. Did I just reserve a phone that was exclusively meant to be only for current IUP customers or do you think they will allow new customers who want to join the IUP?
I had one selected, chose my appointment time and then the request timed out and all the 7 Pluses were gone. Pretty sure they were never meant to be available - looks like Apple is only showing the 7.

You go to the apple store app > shop > iPhone > iPhone 7 > click model (plus for me) > choose "upgrade this phone" > (does a check) > click blue button "Reserve to Upgrade in Store" > Boom

You will be fine. A friend of mine used this link to get a phone today. He wasn't a member and they honored his reservation and he has the phone now.

I used the IUP earlier today to get my girlfriend a 7, we are T-Mobile prepaid so IUP is not an option. When we got to the store they gave us the option to sign up for it, but when noticed it was not possible they just sold us the phone full price. So you should be good.

Thanks for your responses. Looks like I'll be getting the new phone at 10am tomorrow 🙂

if the reservation is honored, you can do IUP, carrier financed or buy it outright.
Apple should redesign their iPhone selection page a bit. Instead of first selecting a store >Model, they should go Model >Store. Much easier flow

Hey bro, I am trying to follow your steps however I get stuck at the Upgrade this phone then reserve to upgrade in store...I don't see thse options when I click the 7 plus model. Please help!! 🙂
I have a reservation for tomorrow. I have a 32g tmo matte black that I want to switch out for verizon matte black 128g.
I got it reserved but my concerned is getting turned away for saying that I want to buy it gu price . I know it says in the FAQ you can "upgrade" to full price but I feel it's for existing upgrade customers.
Coz there r no 7+'s alloted from Apple 🙁

Don't worry. Once u have a reservation and they have a phone for u ( that's important), u can purchase it as u wish.
I thought a 7 plus popped up for me at my local store but I think it may just be the nyquil that I have been fighting off for the last 3 hours.
At 12:15 am.. I went through the process of online picking up through the apple store app for a ATT 7 plus black and during the carrier verification it didn't go through but I got this email..

As simple as letting them know up front when you talk to the specialist, "I'd like to purchase this as an unlocked phone" ?
if you did iphone upgrade program, the phones are unlocked and sim free from the start.
