I've just done the biggest mistake of my life...

Been shopping this morning and put all of the purchases on my credit card, on which there is a pending £1 charge for my black iPhone 7 plus 128gb. As the credit card has only 1k limit, this now means there isn't enough funds on it for when Apple actually charges my account :)

Now I'm stuck at work until 8pm and won't be able to ring Apple to change my billing details...Here's one to hoping they charge me on Monday.

Lesson learned is to think ahead
when is your phone due to arrive? I had to take money out my account but mine hasn't moved from processing so you will be fine.
 
....can I ask you to do me favour?!

Can you check the speaker grill (the earpiece), at the top of the display, on both phones - are they the same sizes, i.e. is one longer than the other?

Need to check to see if an iPhone 6 screen protector will fit on the iPhone 7!!

Thanks!
The 7's is longer. Got it infront of me.
 
Is your screen protector an iPhone 7 one or did you use an iPhone 6 one?



...dayam, if thats the case, I'll have to order some proper iPhone 7 ones. :eek:
I've apparently ordered 7 ones, but they ain't here yet, I fact, I lie, the i7 case came with one but I've not opened the box to check yet.... No bloody phone yet anyway
 
Hey guys, jumping a bit late on the waggon after watching the forum for years,

do we all agree that getting an iPhone 7 PLUS [in black or Jet Black, or even any other color] is totally impossible today in London right ?

No walk in stock anywhere ? Carrier Shops / Apple Stores / Department stores ?

Carrier shops might have some but you'll have to get a contract I guess. I tried John Lewis and apple, no stock. Best thing to do is to wake up at 5h30 tomorrow and try at6am for reservations.
 
Seriously, no urgency at all here at the Apple Store in Lakeside.
Dozens of staff standing around chatting to each other. Dozens of customers stuck in two hour queue despite having a 15 minute reservation slot.
Pathetic.

It appears that Experian's credit checking can't cope. For those on the IUP, being offered option to buy outright and sort out within 14 days or wait to see if system starts working later today.

I have an added problem that Apple's systems don't seem to have recognised my Apple Pay transaction to buy outright in the meantime, even though my phone shows it as going through.

thanks for the info man, will try that !
 
Reservation at Apple Store Lakeside. Everyone with reservations having to queue - no idea how long for. Problems with the iPhone Upgrade Program.

Glad I got there at 7:45 this morning. I had mine booked for 08:00 and I was done and dusted by 8:15, but that was to buy outright.

It will be interesting to see what is available tomorrow for reservations.

At what point will black pluses show up to reserve?

Will JLP get more phones?

And will it end up being quicker to just wait for my black delivery next week (I imagine that's a yes).

Although I do hope that maybe there are some silver 7 pluses at Westfield later and I can maybe take one of those over rose gold that I ordered as that was all that was left for collection.

20-22 September. I'm just trying to get someone to cover me at work so I can ring apple, but they're super busy today so I need at least an hour to do it all in.
 
For anyone asking........ 6Plus screen protectors definitely DO NOT work with the 7 Plus......... the 7 Plus speaker is wider, and FaceTime camera is more to the left.

The 7's is longer. Got it infront of me.

...longer, by how much?! Just a little or quite a bit longer?!

Looking on Amazon, for screen protectors for iPhone 7, brings up a large number of results, however, when you then actually look at the pics, you notice the sellers are actually using iPhone 6 pics, so if was to order one, not sure if I would receive a 6 screen protector or a proper 7 one?!?? :confused:
