Oh, man, he's gonna need some burn cream to go with that.

Seriously, that guy reminds me of those insufferable fools who hate a band once it goes mainstream. They think they're better than everyone else because they "were a fan before it was cool". Absolutely the same mentality. I grew up with an Apple IIgs and begged my dad for a Newton (lol) when those were around, but I say the more the merrier. Apple is the company it is today because of all the new customers who have supported it with their dollars and grown it into what it is today.

Made the mistake of ordering through BestBuy once my order at Apple.com failed to go through given all the traffic at midnight. BestBuy promised delivery by 9/16 when I placed the order, but now they send an email saying "Unfortunately, there's been a delay in getting you your device. We apologize for the inconvenience, as we know you are excited about your new phone.

Your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus is expected to arrive by Friday, Oct. 7"

Never. ordering. Apple. From. BestBuy. Ever. Again.

If they pull that sh*t on me tomorrow (ordered mine at 12:04am as soon as pre-orders opened but chose in store pick-up) I'm going to straight up start tossing merchandise and the store cops are going to have to tackle me.

Why is Apple doing this, are they going nuts? Destroying their culture of fans queueing for apple devices at launch day. They should have at least 300 pieces for overnight queueing fans.

If you read this Apple, reconsider this new device launch style.
What is Apple without queues infront of their stores... just another retailer...
Angela Ahrendts is ******* it all up... She destroyed the Apple Watch 1 launch already.

Didnt apple at one point in the past few years tell people not to line up at stores at product launches? What was it. The apple watch launch?
 
It's interesting that Apple have not supplied iPhone 7 models to their own stores ahead of the 16 Sept release date, so the only way to buy one is to reserve it blind. Doesn't demonstrate much confidence in their own product.

As September 16 hits around the world, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be available in Aust...nds, New Zealand, Nor... and the US.

Retail stores in those countries will be opening at 8:00 a.m. local time letting customers pick up reserved devices and purchase new phones via walk-in.

I'm sorry, what retail stores?

Curious how well the 6 or 6S fits in the 7 case? :confused:

Are they similar enough to use a 6s case on a 7 for a bit while we await delivery? Long shot, and I know camera sizes are different, and clearly the 6S case wouldn't have speaker holes for Stereo, but, just a thought.

::EDIT oops posted in wrong thread, but will leave since someone replied:: too many tabs ;) .

aaannndd I changed the delivery address from my office address to my home address because of the reports of getting it earlier, which is inconvenient for me. So after changing my order has been delayed by 3 days (from 20. September to 23. September). If somebody could have just told me that. Well, whoever is thinking about changing the delivery address around a few days before the actual delivery might happen, be warned!

This is a 6S+ in a 7+ case. As you can see the optical requirement is much larger and shifted more to the bottom to accommodate both the larger aperture camera and larger sensor.

A 6 will fit in a 7 case but a 7's camera will be blocked in a 6 case.

It doesn't need a second speaker hole. The stereo speaker is on the front of the phone. The 6 case will sorta fit but will cover up park of the camera and protrude a little because of that

Apple said "micro abrasions".

Wouldn't call this micro anything. From the Verge review where he stated that his year old iPhone 6 looks newer than his 5 day jet black review phone

Patel is a certified d-bag, so whatever he says is almost certainly an hyperbolic fabrication.
I've got 5 years old phones with no case and no major scratches (like that), that tells me I'd geta different result than this doufus.
His reviews on the watch in particular were abysmal.

Lol, I love this. I'm browsing at 3:20 EST, because I can't sleep and this was great! :D

Do you mean that there are non on display?

In Hamburg, Germany for example they had them all on display except for scratch jet black.

Just looked through your posts and wow... Every single one of your posts is negative, a complaint, or an insult! That must take some serious dedication. I hope your venting on here at least makes you a little more positive in the real world.

ok
 
Why launch a new phone with no stock of it? 'The iPhone will be available September 16.... oh yeah but this one, this color and this other one won't be in stock... sorry'. Why not just launch the phone a week or so later WITH stock!

Waiiiiita minute... how come the camera bulge looks different? It looks like it has a ring that is not a part of the main shell.
