I dont get the fuss! It's basically the same as the iphone 3G and 3GS.
It's a similar look, yes, which is actually nice. It's almost retro, but modern. Also, the glossy aluminum... those phones weren't. They were plastic. The iPhone 7 in Jet Black feels cool to the touch like aluminum, but also has that shine... which actually adds grip. The Matte "Black" one is much more slippery. I just think the Jet Black one looks incredibly classy and stealthy as it's such a deep black. Looks really good. And I haven't had any issues with scratches yet.

Now, a lot of people will say "oh get the regular black one it's better and scratches less". This is what people say who were too slow to get the Jet Black color lol. Everyone who I know that has seen Jet Black in person has said they absolutely love it, and it's the color they'd get. To each his own. I recommend that people look more into the Jet Black though. Yeah, it's rare, but it's rare for a reason.
 
I used the site to purchase my iPhone 6+ (I upgrade yearly, now part of a carrier IUP) for NYC. I found it very, very helpful.
 
Be careful if you are on ATT and trying to get the CDMA model. I tried on launch day and the system wouldn't process it because ATT wouldn't activate the CDMA model. Too bad. Hoping this doesn't effect using it in china. Don't think it will?
 
Uh- assuming we are getting a mega upgrade cycle next year - looks like Apple will need to begin mass producing 2-3 months before - I am expecting madness next year with 5/6/7 users wanting to upgrade.
 
This doesn't seem to be accurate, at least for stores in my area. As an example it shows the Silver 4.7" T-Mobile in stock but the Apple Store app and the Apple website show no availability.
 
The only reason Tim Cook would get into trouble because of this map would be if every location had plenty of phones of every model and color. Selling everything you can make is not a problem that gets you in trouble, usually.
 
Two stores have the model I want. drive for 12 hours, pickup(1 hr), sleep, drive for 12 hours. $200 gas, $60 hotel, $40 food/drink, if I spend $300 more, I can get it tomorrow. lol.

And I thought that it was going to be a flop because it has the same shape as the one before and doesn't have an headphone jack...

Where are the prophets of the apocalypse now?
I love apple products and love my iPhone. But lets face it, next year they could just change the color, introduce a "gloss white" color and add a A10 Fusion+ processor and it would still probably sell the same lol. True very true :)

Oh, don't pooh pooh tradition. It's a fine MacRumors tradition to make fun of the leaks and previews and then go bonkers over the released product. We can time the migration of birds and butterflies by it. It's good to know there are still things we can count on in this world.

I myself had a blast partaking in the tradition. Removal of the headphone jack has provided me with many delightful hours of angst and drama. I don't watch Game of Thrones or really any other tv dramas, so this will have to do. ;)

Since I had so much fun and excitement with the exploding Note 7, I think I will go for the controversial jet black color for my IPhone 7.

How soon before Apple ceases and desists this site? I thought they always shut down scrapers in the years past.
 
I was able at 6:30AM EST this morning to secure a 128GB 7 Plus from Apple Fifth Ave. I think best bet is to check early mornings... that and live in a major city, apparently!

I have VZW iPhones 7 black 256 on At&t at a launch day. All of them were activated with no problem at all. The only thing, when you go to Att OLAM it showed unknown phone. Now it shows iPhone 7 without picture. I activated them myself with att SIM card, before I turned them on I though away VZW SIM

Hah, I've been checking at all of the wrong times! I didn't think you'd have to get up at 6:30 to secure a 7 Plus!
 
If you're on the fence about Jet Black... get Jet Black. It's awesome.
What are you doing for phone protection? I'm still waiting on mine to be delivered. I normally go caseless and am usually ok with nicks and scratches, but I'm still debating whether I'd be ok with the Jet Black looking unusually scratched up after a couple months.
