Yep. One plus today on my carrier but across the state and in rose gold. Nah. Another day down.
Just a quick datapoint:
The stock in Southern California definitely updated at some point this afternoon. I've been looking for a T-Mobile iPhone 7 256gb (black or silver) and one popped up at South Coast Plaza this afternoon. New stock also showed up in Mission Viejo around the same time. Fortunately I was able to grab it, got to my appointment early, and was able to sign up as a new IUP member with no problems. The sales guy asked me if I logged in at midnight to snag it and I told him that it popped up this afternoon. He seemed impressed/surprised. But no problems getting the phone and paying for it.
Thank you to the person who originally posted the link, and the istock website for making it easy for me to keep hitting refresh and seeing stock in all the stores nearby!

I read a couple, it does suck. Good luck. Simply stay calm, and when the ring you out just tell them that you will pay in full instead of using the iUP, they will not give you any issues. If so, then show them the e-mail at the bottom of the link that it can be done. I guess it also depends on which specialist you get.
Long story short: Reserved the 7 Plus 128 GB Black Verizon Model using the iUP loophole on Sunday for 3 pm pick up. went in at 11 am. They did not have any problems with this as it was not as busy at opening. When it was my turn, sales specialist greeted me in, checked me in (even though their system showed that I was to come around 3 PM), sales specialist was okay with it. He scanned my QR code from the e-mail I showed him and while it's in process, he asked me if I was going to trade in. I said, No, I plan on buying this phone device only. He had a hard time figuring what to do on his Point of sales (P.O.S) device at that's what page he was on. He asked another sales person of what he needed to do and simply told him that if it's device only then you need to be on the different page to scan. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.
I don't live in the East Coast, but I am browsing through inventory and see quite a bit of 7+'s... Def better than yesterday.
Still no JB in my area. There's Black on Apple's flagship on 5th Ave though.
EDIT: That was fast. Gone in less than 5 mns. Lol

Well, I found a black 7+ 128 but it wouldn't let me get to the appointment screen, and now it's gone. 
Don't forget to check Apple's website at 8AM. Go through the process like you're buying it and then click the link for store pickup. That's what Apple recommended to me yesterday morning.
Mine oddly says that to, well the one that is 10 mins away. Hmmmm. All the rest of the PA stores in my state show up lol.
Still no JB 7+ on the East Coast, or anywhere else. I guess pre-order folks are just starting to get their shipments so hopefully some hit stores by the end of the week.
Virginia and Maryland had Matte Black 7+ 128GB and 256GB. Finally, I got to reserve one! lol didn't know the website limits 1 reservation per account.
nice man congrats. Did you use the IUP reservation page or the normal purchase page?
IUP reservation page link, thanks to the forum members that shared their guidance. I shall see if this works since I reserved a Verizon model, but have AT&T account and plan to purchase device in full.
Not one 7+ for Albany, NY. Tried both the Apple website and the IUP. I give up. Going to bed. I'll check at 8AM like the store said.
