Carrier iPhone 7/7+ Sprint Pre-Order Thread

Oh, bite it.
It may be a "first world problem", but it's still a problem. People work hard for their money and they'd prefer to not be treated like their money is worth less than that of anyone else, simply because of the carrier they have. Not to mention the fact that people want what they pay for. Especially when it's advertised and claimed to be one thing, only for it to end up being something else entirely.
I've been a HTC and Samsung guy forever. First time trying an Apple Phone. Got convinced by Sprint since my 2 year upgrade eligilibilty was up that I could own the IPhone 7 for just $200 with a 2yr agreement. My wife has had an Iphone since forever and I really liked the + because it has two cameras so better picture quality. I pre-ordered mine at 9am on 9/9 a JB 128 and was told I'd received it before the 30th which I'm starting to doubt. My wife cleverly just went to Apple Store at the Galleria here in Houston and walked out with a MB 128+ for Sprint. 
Really frustrated that I have to wait all these time.
[doublepost=1474648871][/doublepost]Oh btw. I'm a FedEx Ground driver and I was surprised we started getting Iphones in our routes too. I thought it was all through UPS. lol

Don't do it man. I too was thinking of purchasing outright the 7+ for $900 but then I thought that Holiday season is just around the corner and those $900 could be spent on Christmas presents. Hehe

FedEx delivered my 4S on launch date in 2011 (I think that was the year)... UPS delivered my 6S last year, and I'm seeing people even reporting USPS. So it's like a tossup of who to expect
It's been proven repeatedly the reps have no idea, no info, no guidence. I talked to a rep for a long time. She told me my phone would be delivered between 10/21-10/28. She told me to contact the store where I ordered for the EXACT date. I politely told her that's nonsense, the stores have no idea when shipments are coming in, and the date she quoted was for new incoming orders, not preorders on the 9th. I ended that call frustrated. I got tracking number the next day and my phone the day after that. They have NO clue. All she could do was see my order was in fact in the system.
Read an article that says with the iPhone 6 Apple had the ability to produce 30,000 iPhones a day. And that was before Foxconn installed the robots, I wonder what's the number now for the iPhone 7 & 7+

I'm in Houston as well
If Sprint wasn't the only one with unlimited data I'd cancel them in a heartbeat right now (I know t mobile has one but I don't like that company) I use 50-70gb of data a month
So I see here the Apple Store next to me has the 32GB MB 7 Plus. I'm switching over from AT&T. Can I reserve that phone and put it on the Apple forever plan then take it to sprint for activation? I'm also trading in my paid off 6S plus
They currently have the capacity to produce 450,000 devices a day
Yes. Just go to Apple and buy it with the iPhone Upgrade Program and trade in your 6S plus. Then take the 7 and go to sprint and activate service on the 7. Easier to do before you have Sprint service.I wouldn't trade AT&T service for Sprint any day. I regret going to Sprint from Verizon and almost paying the same cost but with ****** service and Customer Service that can't speak english.
That's what I want to do too. I called apple yesterday to see if they could initiate the service which they cannot do in Apple Store I didn't ask if I could just take the phone without activating. I doubt Sprint is going to give a lump $650 credit for our trade in phones if we bring iphone 7 to them purchased from apple
Trade in your 6S at the Apple store when you get your 7 with the IUP. You will get a credit toward your 7.
Doesn't look that way. I'm curious if we will have another shipping batch happen over the weekend with all of these planes that will be arriving over the weekend. What's going to be the lucky model this time around.
There has been an uptick in Plus models for Sprint at Apple stores. So that means we should get our devices by 2019.
We've all waited two weeks already, Two more wont kill us. Now if 10/7 comes around (For us that order on 9/9 3-5A.M. EST) and we don't get nothing. Its over. Waiting a whole moth when we all pre-ordered early af in the morning is just ********.
Excuse me, one question: I'm a newbie. I'm just wondering If I buy an Iphone from Sprint, can I use it with any kind of SIM from Viettel, Mobiphone in Vietnam?
ok so how much would i come out of pocket today? I have my sprint account just no phone. So go to the apple store and trade in my 6s plus towards my 7 plus on the IUP. Will i just pay that first 27$ then take the phone to sprint or will i have to buy the phone out right then take it to sprint
Does anyone know how to go about reserving and iPhone online and getting it at the Apple Store if you're on iPhone forever?
You can't. You can only do iPhone forever through Sprint. They have us hostage.
Anyone notice that the 7's are all available NOW on the sprint shipping time table?!?
