Unfortunately I ordered Jet Black 128 7. However there have been a couple 256 dispatches here and there so...
Got a tip for us?

If anyone wants to buy outright, there's a 128GB MB Plus at Covent Garden for pick up tomorrow.
Can also get this at both Manchester stores? I'm tempted but does it work out that much cheaper buying outright over the 12/24 month period? Because the EE sim only plans that I've found are £35 for 16gb of data.
If there's no call tomorrow I'm booking in with Apple and get one from them on IUP as Manchester and Leeds store have stock of Matte plus and my EE store as 0.
even worse you can see the Apple Store from the EE store I have my per order with

At 10pm tonight I managed to get a 128 and 256 gb 7+ in black for pick up tomorrow at Edinburgh Apple Store. Someone gave a rip off on the main UK thread that there was likely to be lots of stock going live st 10pm. It's via the paid order process as opposed to the reservation system. Plan to swap the 256 over for the gold I got last week.
Lots of stock went live over the UK no Jet Black plus models but a few standard jet blacks.
So looks like am jumping off the JB slow train and onto the (matte) black wagon!

I just got an IUP reservation at Apple Stratford City for a matte black 256GB 7+. Had to be logged in and clicking refresh at 06:00 LNT on the dot as all 7+ slots were gone at that store within 4 minutes!
No way EE will have handsets instore for a week or two as far as I can tell. Can't wait for lunchtime!

Spotted last night that there was plus stock at both Apple stores in Manchester and as of 5:30am there where a number of colours and sizes available. But had to wait until 6am to book a phone and a time for IUP.
within 4 minutes all plus stock had gone for both. I couldn't get through the screens quick enough to get one

If you are able get online at 10pm tonight and buy outright for pickup in store the next day you will have more luck. You can then get them to refund the cost in store and repurchase on the upgrade programme. Of course relies on having the funds in your account or on credit card but it will be refunded before you are due to pay but this is what it seems people, myself included are starting to do!
Still not an individual time frame either in my opinion........... Have pretty much given up on EE unless they can magically produce a JB+ in the next 2 weeks!

[doublepost=1474535830][/doublepost]I'm probably going to wait until my Sim arrives from EE though as the contract I got was quite good... 25gb of data (15gb of EU Roaming data) unlimited minutes and texts, and BT Sport for two years for £11.86 a month..
That's is a good deal - so is it a 2 year tariff or can you get this over one year? Don't really care re Sky Sports or even EU roaming as tend to travel to South East Asia for holidays but the in terms of data allowance adn monthly cost it is good
£11.86!!!!! I thought getting this for £24.99 was good??? I'm on one year with only 500MB EU roaming and 6 months BT Sport. I'm tempted to call and ask for cheaper!
24 month contract ...before everyone gets too crazy what I actually pay is £45.99 a month ...but I get an iPhone 7 plus 128gb JB with it... so what I did was £45.99 x 24 Minus cost of phone , divide final sum by 24 = cost of plan
Ahhhh, makes sense. As I said I've given up on EE for a 7+ from a store reservation. That deal makes it worth hanging on, I was only getting 2 years 25GB for £60.99...
If you have a look at the Sim Only deals I posted above I would go for that..I went into store and got a second iPhone 7 plus 128gb MB because who knows what EE will do next, they might backlog everyone until december..Going to either get a refund in 14 days or sell it only for £20 - £30 less when my Jet Black arrives
Also which plan do you have for £60.99? I'm assuming you paid and up front cost as loads of people have been but not all
