I went for 128GB iPhone 7+ Matte Black, Ordered on sunday (2pm) est. Friday 7th october (3 weeks tomorrow.) However I'm hoping its an overestimate by 5 days or so. It's so annoying knowing if EE didnt cock up I would've gotten my phone tomorrow. The Three contract is cheaper & unlimited data + highest average 4G speeds so guess they saved my ass actually
 
Ordered a black 32GB 7 and a black 128GB 7+ around 10 on Friday. Was quoted the 16th for the 7 and the week after for the 7+. I was put through to accounts as my bank queried the second payment for the 7+ so soon after the first. The chap told me both were good to go for the 16th. I've since had no text or email as I was told I would on Friday. I have since spoken via web chat (last night) and was told that I'd receive both tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Text received just before 6pm:

We're sorry. Unfortunately our stock from Apple has been delayed, meaning the delivery of your new iPhone 7 Plus won't be ready on the estimated date you were given. We're working with Apple to make sure it's with you no later than 03-Oct-16. As a gesture of goodwill, we're going to credit your Three account with £5. If there are any changes, or if we can deliver your phone sooner, we'll be in touch, so don't worry about contacting us. Thanks for understanding. Three.

I know the score, and it's not the end of the world, and it's a nice gesture to get a fiver credit.... It would be great to just send these texts 12 hours earlier than they do. 🙄
 
Ordered a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus in (Matte) Black, as an upgrade, sometime just before 9:41am on 9th.

I was given an expected delivery date of 30th Sept, but told there was a possibility of it being delivered at the latest on 14th Oct.

I didn't receive a confirmation text message, so I called up the next day and was told everything had gone through fine. I was then quoted a 30th Sept date only.

I haven't received a text from Three about delayed shipment of the model I have chosen. Yet.
 
3 just sent a text saying there delivefh has slipped up to over two weeks and offered a £5 token. :/

"Our stock front apple has been delayed"
So now
"No later than 14 October" when they'd previously mentioned 28 September as delivery date.
 
If I was guessing they were not able make enough stock and knew it. That's why they are not releasing the numbers sold for the preorders. Overall tho if your ordering a new colour they have always been in really high demand just like the white,gold,rose were back when they were released.
 
I spoke to three on twitter earlier they said I'd still get it by 7th October (said I didnt have a delivery date on my email lol) - but I ordered Sunday, so hopefully people who preordered on Friday & are getting the same phone well before I do (128gb matte black 7+)
 
New customer
32gb 7+ silver
Ordered 16/9 at 2300hrs

No despatch or delay text or email??

I pre-ordered the exact same model. I was told that it would be here in Late October.

BTW, is the 16/9 a typo? Since it's only the 15th! 😛 🙂
 
Haha yes sorry ordered 9/9 for 16/9 did you order that day too??

Haha, it's okay. And no, sadly, I only ordered on the 13/9. 🙁 Anyways, I'm just hoping that I'll get the phone, I don't really care whether it's Late September, or Mid October. Lol
 
Going by all these delays, I might be better off just going down to a sim only deal for a while...

Is it just the 7 Plus phone that are having all the issues?
