iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

Rigsby said:
Been off here for years, but iPhone launch just brings me back.

256GB matte black plus, confirmation email at 8:03 and stuck firmly at 27-29 September.

Should I be cancelling my day off on Friday?

Yeah. Nobody is getting a Black or Jet Black 7 Plus on Friday. Don't waste your days off.

Wouldn't be surprised if the iPhone's on display at apples stores won't allow you to actually hold th jet black because of th scratching. They may just put it in a display box and let you see them, but not actually touch. Just read the Engadget review - sucks to be a jet black owner to be honest, no doubt they will have the highest return rate and lowest resell value in the coming years.

When have Apple ever done that on any product?

Is it wrong for me to be very excited about my delivery arriving from Dave at DPD between 4-5pm today? It has my iPhone 7+ silicone case and matching Apple Watch sports strap. Both in a new colour of pink sand. I feel like it's a dummy run for Friday when my Rose Gold 128Gb iPhone 7+ is due. I'm obsessively following Dave on the map :p

Swear my DPD driver is called Dave as well. We all know a Dave, the DPD driver :p

Very quick unboxing video from CNET of the Jet Black iPhone 7 and Black 7 Plus. Noticed in the video it's just a cardboard "sleeve" of sorts for the EarPods and adapter, but guessing thats just because it's a review unit, or do we think that's how they will come shipped now?

Wow that's *very* quick, was he given limited time with them or something?

They'll let you hold the others, just not the jet black...instead they will just let you see the jet black. Merely an educated guess btw.

Apparently they already do this in some places! So you could be right with them putting the jet into display cases

I think do it for all the watches at every store, and have a couple of demos floating about.

What store was that? Did they not have any iPhones out to play with?

Edit: I can see the reflection is Galleries Lafayette, I was there the day the watch launched :D

Yea like I said it's just an assumption. Think about it though, if the phones are getting so easily scratched like it's said in the reviews, do you really think Apple will keep them out for everyone to play with? Let's be honest, if they had th jet black out, th first thing you'd do is check the back for scratches lol. It will be in their best interest to keep it restricted to just display boxes.

Definitely not for phones though. Never ever and I'll bet on that too in stores.

There's a pic in this thread of them doing this for iPhones too, not in a uk store though - but it can make its way here too. Don't rule the idea out :)

That's just watches though. Not for phones that are similarly priced.

Yeah but if they were to do that it'll be for all phones not just one.
