Sorry to hear that mate.

It's a reminder to the rest of us who are moaning on about our iPhones. There is much worse in the world than our iPhone not turning up on Friday

I'm sorry to everyone for what i posted you all don't need to hear about my depressing life, i'm very sorry :(
 
Received my Orzly case from Amazon today.

Seems good quality for the price, but it is BIG!
Making me doubt the Plus now :(
But I NEED that camera!!

Official 7+ leather case. The buttons aren't as impressive as first imagined.

Don't be silly.

I have a cousin in a wheelchair who has had a struggle every day of his life mate. Sometimes It's good to talk about things!

It does us good to be reminded when we think we have a hard life that really we have no idea.
 
Is anyone else's order still sitting on the 27th to the 29th? I have my iPhone 7 Plus Black 128GB order still stuck despite being ordered at 08:02.
I have contacted Apple Support who don't have any more information but did inform me the method of payment can cause the order to not be processed.
This is my luck with Apple Pre-Orders! I haven't had a launch day order since the iPhone 5! :(:(

My preorder phone & dates are the same as yours, I'm not expecting anything to change and am not worried about it - it'll progress through their system, but there are millions ahead of it.
 
My iPhone 7 128gb gold through o2 upgrade on the o2 website has appeared to have shipped already. Tracking number etc provided, this was updated this evening not that long ago. Wonder if I'll get it before Friday? Highly unlikely but would be ideal seen as I'm away from Friday around 12. Maybe I'll be lucky.

If it helps ease your mind - I will share my story below :).....

For the last 2 years I have run 2 iPhones (one personal and one work). Always had a 'normal' size for my personal which is my main device and I update every year...... and a 6 Plus for work (2 years) which usually stays in my bag. Using only occasionally and never keeping in my pocket, i always thought of the plus as very big and not so friendly.

However, knowing that the 7Plus was likely to feature some extras like the camera, and really wanting a battery life improvement, I decided that for the last 3 weeks I would switch my phones and use the plus as my main device - thereby 'testing it out' before ordering the 7.

The results...... i love it (and have ordered 7Plus). After 3 or 4 days I genuinely didn't notice the size and in fact when using my 6S it feels ridiculously small. The Plus just feel normal. And pocketing it really isn't an issue as it is no thicker than the normal size (and I wear reasonably skinny jeans!). I'd actually go as far to say that I am now so used to it that sometimes I look at it and question if it is the normal or plus! size has become completely irrelevant!

You maybe lucky or they have just scheduled the collection with the courier and it'll sit in their warehouse for another day or two...
 
Argos seems to be showing that they can deliver a iPhone 7 128gb black on Friday 16th - has anyone managed to successfully order one from them and still be on course for a Friday delivery? Seems to good to be true...

I managed to place my order of 7+ JB 256 at 8:20 on the 9th as I couldn’t get on the site until 8:10 and was dealing with a flaky internet connection in the morning. It says that delivery is in 4 to 6 weeks with an estimate 17th to 28th of October that’s over a month away. I only hope that choosing to group both a phone and a case in one shipment won’t delay my order even further…

Nice!

That has helped put my mind at ease, thank you.
Hopefully it shouldn't take me too long to adapt to the bigger size!

Coming from a temporary 4S as well which is TINY in comparison.

I ordered the same model by app at 8:10 and delivery date is 26th September - 3rd October
