I'm not annoyed that John Lewis didn't have any 7 Plus models (apart from pink) but I'm annoyed that they implied they would have stock from 8pm when clearly they didn't. You can't order (even as a back stock item). What a waste of our time.

It's all down to apple. It is their fault. John Lewis is not to blame in this situation.

I got told by one of the store managers that they would have the plus available in black and 128gb configuration
 
If you dont mind me asking how do you know there were zero available ? The UK isn't the only market in the world and this forum only accounts for a very small % of iPhone users

From conversations ive had with the people who supply Enterprise customers, and resellers and most apple resellers, there are no iPhone 7 Pluses in Jet Black 256Gb Models as per my attached from 2 distributors

and the Apple supply chain ? and the 128's and 32's ? ..... all I'm saying is its a very sweeping statement to say there are ZERO based on a very very small part of the global picture that you have.

Jet black all gone :D

I had one in my basket, then the damn bank refused to pay so I lost it :-(.

Will just have to wait for the 7+ 256 JB 26th Sept to 3rd Oct. Problem is I work abroad and leaving on the 26th for 5 wks :-(. Hoping against hope that it will come fwd a few days so I can get it before I go.
 
So the earliest is the people who had their original estimates of 27 - 29 moved to 20 - 22?
Adding everything up for the Matt Black definitely, and the early jet blacks, from seemingly random orders moving earlier, new orders still being stated as 2-3 weeks etc, there has to be an influx of phones soon. I can't see any of them coming Friday at all.

And I don't have any insider info, just trying to be logical....
 
JohnLewis only had 9 standard Jet Blacks (or so it said) but the website crashed for me, by the time I clicked pay it said there was no stock! Should allocate when you add to basket. Thoroughly gutted :(

JL is obviously good for people like Kitty who were able to get a phone but the way they were making a big deal out of it and they had next to no stock. I mean 9 phones what's that lol
