I'd like to know the answer to this as well. The instore reservation was only accessible through the upgrade programme link. I assume on the day you can just buy it rather than sign up for the upgrade programme ?
You'd hope so. Think it's to do with the Upgrade Program coming to the UK. I mean, it's better for them if they get people who want to buy outright to pay via the website/app which would allow staff in stores to quickly get through they orders and move onto the longer process of helping people sign up on the Upgrade Program.
I remember for the 6+ launch, the app store didn't come up for a lot of people straight away.. I missed the launch day phones and then had 1-2 weeks IIRC... it actually shipped much sooner than that and I had it the following Monday!
Lets see how Apple do this time around... but seeing as the Jet Black gets rubbed around in dirt and buffed by the hair of 20 baby lambs it might be a while!

So is the case clear? And if I want a black 7+ do I click black for the car then order or do i click white ?
I've ordered the same phone and have the same shipping. Confirmation email at 8:07
Shipping business days start on the 16th, not now.
sweet.. keep me informed on how it goes.. the website not showing any pictures of the case in a 7+?
First time poster, long time lurker!
Secured a matte black 128gb 7 and silver 128gb 7 Plus for the wife and me - launch day delivery.
Was in the app like a rocket as soon as it went through and like others, both black options for the Plus were delayed until a week later and quickly changed to a couple of weeks. Now showing November!
A few guys I know on a different forum have secured jet black Plus phones with different networks.
I suspect with a more aggressive launch day country list (used to be just a few), there has been very limited supply of the supposedly low yield black colours to go around.
My plan A was always to join the queue at the Birmingham Apple store and chance my hand at a matte black Plus. Think I'm still gonna do that and then go from there...

Think i'm going to risk a trip to the store on Friday just to see if they have any 7+ Black....
I think so? I ordered the "silver" which looks like a frosted matte to me for my rose gold iPhone
I remember that, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if early 7+ ordered like pre 8:05 confirmation get their phones by Friday...
At the moment I've got both. I plan to cancel the order that I placed earlier that I had to put payment details in for just in case (because it makes me nervous that £819 might suddenly disappear). I guess worse case I can just refund it in store when I do my upgrade programme collection.
Ya same here, my payment didn't go through coz of stupid app didn't like any of my billing address/shipping address and rest... had to re-enter them with the same details and worked?That's the same as mine, and I was on as soon as the page come up! We should count ourselves lucky tho, it has move slipped to November for the Jet Black 7 Plus
Had a friends device sat next to mine, his would load the store mine wouldn't, pretty annoying.
Got a 4-10 Oct slot for my 7+ 128 Black.
Guessing there just isn't that much stock, doubt there was an unusual amount of orders. First time not getting a launch day slot.

Well my other half is with EE and she has like 3GB of data. She'd want a 32GB Rose Gold 7.
And hypothetically I'd get the Plus 128GB with at least 10GB of data.
