One more ATT trade-in question. Does anyone know if take advantage of the trade in deal are you agreeing to a 24 or 30 month contract?
 
Does anyone else feel that Apple may have just grossly underestimated the demand for Plus models? Even with the 6S, among my friends I would say there are 1 Plus model to every 9 regular models. This time around nearly everyone I know who pre-ordered is going from a regular model to a Plus of some sort.

I ordered matte black 7 plus 128gb about 4:30am Eastern and status went straight to Preparing for Shipment. No changes since.

Typically, it's a 24 month contract. I would not do the trade-in (if they are asking you to mail it in). AT&T basically will lose it in their warehouse and claim they never received it. If you do, make sure you photograph the tracking label that is printed out from USPS to mail the phone back. Otherwise, you have no proof documented that you mailed it in.

I would NOT be surprised. I'm going to regret this purchase.. I'm feeling like a glutton for punishment.

So I could be wrong here, but won't the jet black finish be similar to the shiny finish that the apple logo is on the back of the iPhone? I haven't used a case and I don't see any scratches on the logo on my 6S Plus. Just a theory...

No, it won't. The apple logo is made from a separate alloy.. Which Apple tends to make it more robust to resist scratches. Don't ask how I know this..

I feel like it's more like the finish on the 4/5. I think that might've been glass though?

It was indeed glass. The jet black is anodized-highly-polished aluminum. I think it's going to be scratch-prone similar to what you would get on the back of the highly polished iPod classic.

I can't remember, but I think the back on the 4 was glass... because I managed to shatter the back. College wasn't nice to my iPhone 4/4S :(

Holy crap those were AWFUL. I'm starting to regret my choice of color just a bit

I hope I'm wrong. I used to have the high gloss red Lumia 920 model (years ago), which was polished poly-carbonate. The scratches did show over time, but were hardly noticeable for the most part.

I'm literally going to wear gloves when I take mine out of the package and stick it right in the clear case I have waiting for it.

No change yet.. But still hopeful since notifications for my previous preorders came late Wednesday night or early Thursday.

I just looked at my orders on ATT and I noticed that the phone I've been using for 2 years almost still has a status on their page of "processing" lol. I never got a tracking from them I just remember the phone being at my doorstop one day from FedEx...sooo I'd wait for an email instead.
