which browser to use: macbook pro's Chrome or Safari (adblocking off) --> for ordering/upgrading via Tmobile? Their app seems slow, so I didn't want to try it.

Wow, this makes me realize I haven't done a launch day iPhone since the 5. Skipped the 5s, got the 6 at the holidays that year, skipped the 6s, got the SE a few months after launch, and am sitting this one out also. I'm happy with my decisions but do miss the excitement of launch day. Perhaps next year, if it's as magical as predicted. Enjoy, everyone! :apple:

There you are! Good luck my friend! Matte black is a nice choice. My Note 7 and now my temporary S7 get covered with smudges and look crappy without a clear case.

I'm a mom so I wake up if a mouse burps. One alarm would be all it would take for me.

Alas, I'll be sitting this one out. I feel really strange. I feel like a bird fighting the instinct to fly south for the winter. Lol! But I'm going to take in all the reviews and commentary from owners like yourself. And see it in person before buying one. I did that with the SE and have been very happy with my choice.

I know I'm trading in my 6SPlus for something, I just don't know what, yet. I'm still evaluating android options since I'm keeping my SE to stay with iOS. But the iPhone 7 will definitely be considered, as well. Maybe even the 7Plus but that's a slim chance.

Wow, that's hardcore, lol. How many phones do you need? I work in the industry and I only carry 2: iPhone and HTC.

So, if I want to keep my existing carrier (h2owireless), which unlocked carrier should I go with? At&t, T-mobile, Verizon, or Sprint? Is there any difference at all? That's confusing
 
Same bote! I think i will go for the JetBlack

Not for me. Too hard to find the phone in places like strange hotel rooms unless you have another phone to call your "slightly missing" phone. You're probably heard the expression, "Fade to black". Well, play it again Sam and think of this post when you can't find your black beauty quickly.
 
Australians, here are the apparent leaked telstra starter plans:

Please everybody, hate and don't buy the iPhone 7/7 Plus. It is a terrible device, you have to boycott Apple for the missing headphone jack!

We need to stay together! Nobody should be ordering an iPhone 7/7 Plus!

so that I can order mine and get it delivered on release day!

Please, everyone buy the iPhone 7/7 Plus, especially those of you who only upgrade every two years!

so that I won't have to wait weeks for my iPhone 8 next year!
 
WAIT HOLD UP
Does the series 1 have the same dual core processor as Series 2???
I checked their comparison website and it just says they both have a dual core, but the names are different, the Series 1 has a "S1P", while the series 2 has a "S2" processor. Please help
Yes, both dual core. The S* series is a "system in a package", so the CPU and everything else is in there. The S2 includes GPS, for example. The S1P has a dual core processor.
 
One of the perks of using Apple Pay with the Apple Store app for this is your bank won't decline your odd hours of the night purchase. One of the most infuriating late nights of my life was going through the refresh and site disconnect gauntlet only to be further smacked down by my bank auto declining the charge at the end of it. That phone call to your bank really makes you feel like a drug addict that needs to reevaluate your priorities in life.

very funny post!!
 
I'm going to wait to see how Watch OS 3 does. I don't need GPS so to put down the cash doesn't seem like a good idea right now.
Huh, you know what might clinch it for me? The ambient light sensor. It would be worth it not to get popcorn thrown at me every time I move my arm in a movie theater...

Apple has taken its online storefront down in order to prepare for the launch of the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus, and the new Apple Watch Series 2 models. Pre-orders are expected to begin at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time or 3:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September 9.

Pre-orders will be available through Apple's website, the Apple Store app, several carrier sites, and from major retailers like Target and Best Buy.

Apple will accept pre-orders in first wave launch countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UAE, the UK, US Virgin Islands and the US.

The 4.7-inch iPhone 7 is available in 32, 128, and 256GB capacities in the United States for $649, $749, and $849, respectively. The 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus is also available in 32, 128, and 256GB options for $769, $869, and $969.

Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program is available in the United States, United Kingdom and China, allowing customers pay a monthly fee for their iPhone 7 with the option of trading it in after 12 months of payments. Pricing, which includes AppleCare+, starts at $32.41 for the iPhone 7 and $37.41 for the iPhone 7 Plus.

Announced earlier this week, the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus feature significant camera improvements, a 4-core A10 Fusion chip, better battery life, water resistance, a revamped pressure-sensitive Home button, stereo sound, new colors, and most controversially, no headphone jack.

Both the Apple Watch Series 1 and the Apple Watch Series 2 will also be available for pre-order. Prices for the Series 1 devices, which include a S2 processor but no other features, start at $269. Prices for the upgraded Apple Watch Series 2, which includes a GPS chip, better waterproofing, and a new display, start at $369.

Can I order 2 apple watches? Or is there a limit
 
Lastly, who thinks the iPhone 8 /Anniversary edition will be the MOTHER of all iPhone upgrades? I predict it will be back-ordered for months of wait time. Will probably look for a good price to jump on the stock between now and then.

Good luck everybody. I hope everyone gets what they want tonight!!
