Other forums are suggesting all iPhone 7 Vodafone orders are delayed. Anyone had any confirmation from them whatsoever about delivery?

Had a live chat with vodafone earlier, 2-: given a delivery number and told it will in my selected store tomorrow
 
Yep especially as I got order confirmation at 8:06 but not going to be delivered till between 4-10th October
It's been a really disappointing launch this year. Apple need to get their **** together for their product launches. Can't help but feel that they purposefully under stock their products to build up a buzz for them.
 
Anybody that ordered a Plus model (in either black colour) from Apple needs to accept that they are not going to get the phone until next week at the earliest.

I've made peace that there are no black pluses tomorrow... I've just ordered a storm grey 7plus case for pickup at my local Apple store today though! Anyone else got one? Any good?

Does anyone know if you upgrade DPD delivery to 8.30-12.....will we still get an hour time slot on the day or will they just leave it as this?

I think that if the 8 turns out to be as good as the rumours say it will be, it will be the biggest selling phone of all time and Apple will have to seriously ramp up production and get their logistics right next year

I wouldnt mind waiting till early October for a launch as long as your guaranteed one on launch. Extra month to ramp up production.

But we are only a minority on here. I reckon a lot of it goes to scalpers who buy many and stick it on ebay for £1000 or so.

Anyway not sure if Apple purposely do it to create a demand or wether they genuinely cannot meet demand. We will ever know for sure.

But i remember the iphone 3G i just queued up at Apple store and got one same day without issues. Since then 3GS and up there has always been issues with stock.

You'd hope so but they sell out every year pretty sure is done on purpose!
 
I think one of the issues was launching 1 week after announcing/pre orders. They produced the phones, but clearly not enough to satisfy demand.

Though i suppose my argument falls flat on its face when the original watch was announced a couple of months before release day....

The rumour is that the 8 will be released in June to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the first iphone.
 
Was hoping with all the dispatch notifications people were getting, my in store collection pre-order would have had movement, but still only "processing".
I don't think anyone here with an in store collection has had any changes yet. So sit tight. It will be there. It's probably there already.
