Got exactly the same deal and spec phone and delivery date; fingers crossed
Did feel a bit gipped but the early upgrade did it for me, and having lunched my attempt to buy it from Apple earlier in the day I was OK with EE dicking me over a bit; the free EU roaming / Apple music / BT sport / London Underground wifi etc was a nice bonus too.

If it works for you then great - personally I want the new iPhone each year and I've always had to buy outright and just SIM only it.
This way I get a new phone every year.

Cheers, I shall call them again. I'll paying £55 a month at the moment, so I don't really mind paying another £10 a month.
If i had the time to do a Photoshop, it would say an estimated delivery for Thursday 15th 😉

Yeah - it's the most I've ever paid for a phone contract BUT I think that overall it works very well in my favour and if I bought the phone outright with a SIM only contract I'd be paying a lot more.

It looks like it's literally launched today.

From Apple? It happens.
You can fix this over the phone without even talking to anyone. It's quite cool.
Call the Apple Store number. 0800 048 0408.
Tell the automated thing "I haven't received my order confirmation email".
It will then confirm some details and then send you the email. Very cool.

I have an account with them so didn't have to worry about any checks but I received an email straight away saying "thanks for your order" and what it is and delivery by 17/9/16 ( I am not hopeful of the delivery date though)

Excellent, thanks for the link. Would be nice to if all the upgrades team where up to speed on the tariffs.

What I want
1. Jet Black PLus 256gb on apple upgrade programme pronto (or ideally before i need to send my 6s to Envirofone ) and stick with a cheapish sim only plan. Will drop increased iCloud storage and get all music and photos back on phone so Apple Music streaming does not cause me to go over my 3MB data allowance some months
What I have:
1. An instore reservation for a Gold 256 7 plus on launch day/16th (reserved at around 8.30am this morning to purchase on upgrade prog) but am really not keen on the white bezel
2. a Jet Black 128gb order direct from Apple on PayPal credit (4 months 0%) delivers November
3. a Jet Black 128gb upgrade via EE delivers in next 2 weeks £65.99 per month (same £49 upfront as AUP)
I currently pay around £22 per month on sim only contract and I have £450 trade in money (which essentially means I can cover the 10 or so months of apple upgrade payments without increasing my monthly outgoings which is my objective).
Taking the colour out of the equation (but not entirely)............... for around the same extra monthly payment I can either have:
1. Via Apple upgrade I get a 256gb with ample storage and Apple Care (do have insurance via bank but £100 excess).
2. Via EE I only get a JET BLACK 128gb but with plenty data for streaming and get option to upgrade after 12 months (like Apple Care so then doesn't matter that it is locked) but I still have another 12 months of the contract at £65.99 pm
It looks a little bit like am going back to contracts at the moment 😱

Yes, but the colour makes a big difference, my Silver 7Plus 128 is arriving Friday
I ordered the 7+ 128GB Black.. "Ships 6-8 business days" "Delivers 27-29 Sep". I ordered off the apple store app the moment it came back up - email confirmation at 8.08AM. If they do have launch day stock, they must have very little of it.

I had an indecisive morning. At 8.01 am, I ordered a 7 Matt Black 128 gig. Im changing from a 6 Plus. Thought id like the smaller size.
Then I had a remorse thing in my head - i use my phone a lot for work, I'm a regional manager, travel a lot, in the car a lot, in branches a lot, very mobile and I reply to more emails on my phone than my laptop probably. So the phone is a work tool. I thought I may miss the big screen.
Cancelled the 7 and went for a Matt Black iPhone 7 Plus 128 gig - delivery slipped though by about ten days.
I also ordered a 42mm SS with Link bracelet, a Saddle Brown leather strap and a Product Red Sports strap earlier today.
I had been holding out for Version 2, so decided to commit and jump in - early Christmas presents ! Thats my excuse.......

Yes I got the 128GB 7 plus in rose gold. I think if you went for gold, rose gold, or silver and got your order in within 20-30 minutes of pre-orders going live you could get launch day delivery
