Hopefully Monday following launch day (19th) we will see some orders of matte black phones landing on doorsteps
 
Has anyone who ordered through Apple got dispatched notification yet. Also is it shipping from China or is it in the UK already. I've been on preparing for dispatch for the last few days

When I spoke to Apple this morning it sounded like credit card companies putting blocks on orders was a common occurrence. Probably because how often does anyone spend £600+ in one transaction.

We're all ballers over here
 
Hey guys, dunno if its been mentioned but JETech are doing 70% off iPhone 7/7 Plus cases and screen protectors on amazon, pretty sure its 1 screen protector and 1 case per account but i just ordered a 2 pack of glass screen protectors for 1 quid!

Screen protectors: JETECH04
Cases: JETECH03

Thanks a lot man just ordered a nice case and screen protectors (tempered glass) thanks to you.
 
Been on the phone to Halifax and they said try again at midnight (my Watch order says awaiting payment) so I tried again... the same happened! Now I've phoned again to just say it's not working and they're saying it's at Apple's end and not theirs!

This better not make my Apple order late! :(
 
I also pre ordered with Very however mine is stating drivery by October 1st which I'm fine with. Have you pre ordered with them before ? Are they reliable ? I opened a very account and will do the take 3 (3month) payment plan with 0 interest

Have ordered before through very before, iPhone was dispatched on launch day but came a week later. Not Very's fault but Royal Mail's, no idea why that happened though as was supposed to come the next day. Anything else I have ordered has been fine and has came the next day, although I used collect+ for those which was delivered by Yodel.
 
I'm praying for DPD or UKMail so I get a delivery window, I work nights, so I'm happy to make sure I'm awake within a window but it'll suck if it's with UPS, I'll probably be asleep! Boo!
 
I have to say theres one thing i'll be checking this time round, when i started my last (first) contract with the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB when i got it in October the mute switch on the side was very buggy where if you touched it would mute then go back to ring, so i'll be checking that out, it took me a long time to get the iPhone 6 Plus after the Phones4U disaster
My original iPhone 6 had issues with the switch and Apple swapped the whole phone out. Hopefully the part had a redesign for the 6s/7

Feel your pain there. Luckily I'm on rest days this time around.
 
Well. No change for me on my 7+ - ordered by 08:08 and still showing 27-29. My watch payment has gone through and showing as delivery Friday.

Some things just don't make sense in Apple world. I think their whole system is random with the dates and nothing to do with geography.
There's more than likely thousands of people checking the online orders and mostly they probably don't give a hoot about Apple or their phones.

I'm in East London (Canary Wharf) ... 7 Plus 256GB Matte Black.

Confirmation email was received as an 8:05 order confirmed 6-8 business days 27/29 Sep standard shipping.

At 18:25 Friday evening I noticed I was already bumped up to 20/22nd September.

So lucky! I'm in Canary Wharf too. Ordered at 8:05am, 128GB 7+ matt black, but I'm stuck on 27/29.
 
Someone earlier had a good theory as to why some early pre orders for plus models are stuck in the 27-29 range and some have been bumped to the 20-22 range. They said that perhaps we were already randomly allocated production batches of phones and the expected date is linked to that. I'm thinking the dates are next to useless and will change wildly as this week progresses but the seemingly random date changes could be to do with how actual production slots are allocated. All speculation though :)
 
Money now left account - ordered direct from Three. Still expecting 16th as delivery date for my Matt black 7+ 128gb.
 
There never was any in the first place!

Same here. My Apple Store has NEVER had my configuration in stock, ever.
[doublepost=1473745924][/doublepost]My local Apple Store got more iPhone 7 32GB Black units in stock for reservation at 06:46AM. I want this configuration but in the Plus so I've reserved one because I remember them saying you could swap it for whatever is available. Not that there even will be a 7 Plus available on the day, in which case I can just tell them to leave it.
 
At this point I'm pretty convinced not a single 7 Plus in Black is coming to these shores. Absolutely no stock anywhere, ever.
Yep, it looks that way! Has anyone seen how the US is getting on?
