iPhone 7 Plus Black 256GB
Ordered evening of 9 September - email received at 20:47
Delivers: 4 to 10 October

Money still not taken (using my NatWest account) - is this normal or should I phone up my bank/Apple to make sure everything is alright (currently abroad so unable to receive text notifications but I did sign up for email notifications).

Thanks in advance for any help!
Woah, your phone is not due for a while yet. They won't charge you until they move to 'preparing for dispatch'.
 
Not sure about you guys but unless it's pushed forward to launch day. I don't care if it's a week or two late.

I'll be back at work next week so will miss the hype of launch day etc.

Big bummer for me this year. It's nice to enjoy the hype of a product launch, tracking planes and delivery vans. Plus seeing the first pictures roll in.

Not gonna be much of that this year, well certainly from the black 7+ camps.

First world problems I know, but I've always enjoyed meeting up with the usual names on here and enjoying the hype.

On a side note I would say if you haven't been charged by tomorrow night it isn't coming Friday. I'm pretty sure those with Friday delivery have been charged already
 
Did you ship it to your home address and you'll be at work, or the other way around?

Ship to home at the moment. But I know that UPS will drop it off at a collection point like they did with my previous orders.
 
I've reserved a 128GB Gold 7+ for pickup on Friday (IUP), what are the chances of being able to change it for a Black version? My store hasn't had either black 7+ since going on sale according the lgladdy DB, praying for a couple in stock on Friday.

It better had arrive this Friday, after all the goddam cases I've got!

5 or 6 at last count I think!

They've all come via discount codes and were already promotion prices, so it's not toooooo bad...
 
Not sure that's quite right as many have been charged on Saturday...
Maybe ours are coming from China and if you get charged later in the week it means it's coming from the UK?

If it says the 16th I can't see why it wouldn't come then.

Even on Friday.
 
I found the leather too slippery, actually dropped my 6splus a few times because of it. Returned the case to the apple store 3 days later

They are a little slippy at first, but that changes after a couple weeks.

...agreed - the first few weeks, they are indeed slippery buggers, but after a few months, when the leather softens and has some natural oils from your hands, it kinda grabs your hands, offering good grip (well, mine does!!).

Off Topic is the Post Merged thing on here new as i've never noticed it before ?

..its always done this - probably just that you have never seen it!

I think if you post twice within a couple minutes (complete guess!) and no-one else posts in that time, it just merges your posts together!

...indeed, that is correct!


BTW - my Black iPhone 7, 32 Gb, and Midnight Blue Leather case, are STILL "Processing" and the date STILL shows as "20th-22nd Sept"!!!! COME ON DAMMIT!!!!!!!!
:p
 
So...

Who else has any form of Jet Black device guaranteed for Friday delivery/pick-up?

At the minute it seems no-one else posting here - the onus is on me to provide this thread's glossy-shiny-lusty photos! :p
 
I'm having the same issue. Let me know if you sort it and what the problem was.

Edit: Just seen that Apple Pay was your issue. Called them up and explained this and my order is now sorted. Thank you :D

Ah awesome to know I've helped someone else out! No worries my friend! :p

I've preordered the iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black but mines not due until October 17th but it may change as money has been taken out of my account
 
Hey everyone!
So I ordered the 7 plus 32gb using the PayPal credit method. Delivery date of 27-29 September.

However I ordered 32GB worried this isn't going to be enough. Does anyone know/have any experience if I can return in store and pay the extra for the 128GB if they have stock when it arrives?

If it's within the 14 day exchange period you can. If there is no stock within the 14 days the only thing you can do is return it altogether and order the one you want and then wait for it.
 
...yea, totally agree. Not sure my OCD would be able to handle the amount of fingerprints on the back of the phone! I'd be constantly buffering the back AND the front of the phone (just like I do with the screen of my 6!!!!!!!).
Making more scratches! :D
