So I've set mine up and restored from backup.

This thing is beautiful! I use all my phones without cases (I have AppleCare+) so I can really appreciate it.

My initial impressions:

Home button - felt weird the first couple of times, but I much prefer it now.

Speakers - wow, these things are loud and clear!

Camera - Haven't had much of a chance to test it out yet, but I am going on a walk with my partner tomorrow towards Basingstoke way, so will test the camera out then.

Will update further when I've had more use out of it. Let's just say, I love this thing!!!

I've also decided that I am going to keep the 256GB.

To everyone still waiting, hang in there. It's worth it!

Yes the Home Button takes some getting used to at first but it's insanely fast isn't it?

Not speaking too soon but it seems to read my finger prints much better than my old 6s Plus.

It's something I always do. Start off with a case (Apple leather) then a few months later "go naked". I have AppleCare plus also but not sure how it works? I mean, if you scratch your phone they won't replace will they? And do they repair the phone or replace? I've had AppleCare before but never had to use it. Also, did you get the matte black?
 
Apple just gave me an extra week in which to return my silver 7+ as the wait on the black ones is until 12-18th October. I'm very impressed, they were well within their rights to hold me to the 14days but I have until October 7th now :)
Was that over the phone or in store? I want to join the 7plus line but cant go without a phone if i return my 7...
 
John lewis just had a load of black 32GB in stock.
After saving my BonusBond's and fully intending to use the card online, there is no option to actually use it online.
Does n't fit int the gift card box, or the gift voucher box, or the promotional code box. Also doesn't add as a new card as there's no name on the front and the whole balance wouldn't be being used.
So after messing about for 20 minutes they obviously, all went.

Now I'm left not able to use this damn bonus bond 'online card' and the phone went.

Just my luck they will all go from tonight's pile too, or there won't be any to being with.

JL still have 32gb gold Plus in ample stock, however.
 
I've just gone to preparing for dispatch on my 7+. Anyone have any idea how long it's usually preparing for before they actually send it to me?

This is getting so so ridiculous. Trafford Centre has had like zero pluses for 3 days straight now.

Apple should have been better prepared for this. I'll try again in the morning but if it's not available tomorrow morning. I'll have to do with the normal version. Not wanting any longer.
