Awesome. Now where is the tool that shows Apple Watch Series 2 availability?

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?
Don't worry, you'll be hearing from them when Apple comes clean about real numbers at the next quarterly report.
 
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.
I have no case and no screen protector. So far, no scratches after 4 days. I'm quite careful with it. I only wipe the fingerprints off of it once in the morning with a microfiber cloth I got in one of my old MacBook Pro boxes back in 2012. I don't wipe it on my shirt because I heard that can cause some scratches. But yeah, I like my iPhones naked, so that's how I keep them. I'm just being more careful with my Jet Black 7. You won't be disappointed, the iPhone 7 looks beautiful in Jet Black.

Brilliantly cool! But I wonder whether there is any website can check the real-time status of Apple Watch Series 2 at stock? Thank you!

dont think a month is going to make a difference, to be honest. QC issues are always a thing, no matter how far or early you are into a life cycle.

If batteries were repeatedly exploding like Note7, sure, but waiting seems futile
I agree with the wait. Almost all early device issues get fixed with software. Very few are hardware or QC related problems. For me, I would rather have a phone that works as to deal with a month or more of "did you do a clean install" routine. To each their own.

While the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus launched last week, the usual trend of demand outstripping supply has resulted in limited availability of the smartphones around the world. Fortunately, prospective buyers can easily check stock at their local Apple Stores using the website iStockNow.

iStockNow uses Google Maps to visualize the real-time status of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus availability at Apple Stores in the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.K., likely based on Apple's reservation system backend.

The website allows users to filter their search by iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, storage capacity, color, location, and U.S. carrier. There is also a "no CDMA" filter that narrows the search to iPhone models built for GSM networks, but note that CDMA models support both CDMA and GSM networks.

Apple Store locations with availability based on the search criteria display a green marker, while stores that are out of stock display a red marker. Clicking on an individual marker opens a window with an expanded model-by-model breakdown of availability, and the time that stock was last updated at that location.

iPhone 7 Plus availability appears to be slowly improving in parts of the U.S., particularly in the New York and Los Angeles areas. In Manhattan, for example, select iPhone 7 Plus models are currently available at Apple's Fifth Avenue, Grand Central, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and World Trade Center locations.

Shoppers can still use Apple's front-end reservation system, but iStockNow provides a more convenient way to view in-store stock at a glance.

Article Link: How to Easily Check iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Availability at Apple Stores Worldwide

Two remarks:
1) the title states "worldwide", which gives an idea of what is the world for the writer (limited to the US… as shown on the map)
2) is there a way to know how many UNLOCKED iPhones 7 are available? Everything, as well as the process on the Apple.com reservation page mentions only models with a carrier...
 
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...

They're using the site above and on their way to their local Apple store, then posting a couple days later a "Why I changed my mind" post.

Every. Freakin. Year.
 
According to that site there isn't a single 128 JB7+ for AT&T in the entire United States.

Good job, Timmy!
 
Argh! I had a Black 7 Plus in my cart from one of the local stores and the stupid Apple site timed out, and now it's gone!

So much for having the improved camera for my daughter's birthday party this weekend.

The power of the internet :) look at all those phone availability.

I guess someone has to do it... because Apple won't..

I'd still prefer seeing flightrader, but oh well.
