iPhone 7 Plus Availability Improving Through Apple's Upgrade Program

Jlocker.

No, you cannot. No Target store in all of central Illinois has any at all. Also no Apple Store in Illinois or Indiana have any "for anyone to walk in and pick-up."

Oddly, and not surprisingly, I was told (via chat/phone) that you could jump on demand at an Apple Store after the official availability date (last friday usa)

What irritates me with T-Mo, I just checked shipping times. iPhone 7 Plus 128GB Black is now shipping between Thanksgiving and 2nd week of December. Apple store ... 2 weeks. Why T-Mobile doesn't let Apple do JoD upgrades is ridiculous.

Sorry that you are wrong, check stores every day, trucks come in on different days. I bet if you call today you will find some for sale.
 
Pre-ordered 15 min in on Sept 9th on Verizon website for iPhone 7plus 256GB(silver) and had to call in(30-45min) to order to add a line iPhone 7plus 128(silver) for her. Both showing shipped by 9-28. Both showed up yesterday around noon time.

Sweet! Now we don't need to see any more threads with the apple upgrade people whining and crying because they couldn't get the phone they wanted right now!

Don't hold your breath.....

Now you will get a lot of 'Apple bashers' suggesting that the sales are p*** poor and no one is buying them, hence the easy availability of the phones....

Not to worry chum, we will find something negative in all the positivity going on.....

Preordered the Jet Black 128GB Plus model on 9/9. Originally my ship date was 10/04-10/10. Now all that has changed my phone has shipped and delivery is now 9/22. Apple must be getting more phones out from China!
 
I got my iPhone 6s Plus through the upgrade program last year. I tried getting a 7 Plus this year through the upgrade program and was unsuccessful. Instead, I ordered one through Verizon and it's coming tomorrow. Can I sell my 6s Plus and just continue making payments? Would the Apple Care transfer over to the new buyer?
 
I was doing JOD for an iPhone 7 Plus 128GB Black w/ Tmobile. Saw apple had stock and reserved for pickup yesterday. Walked out and canceled my Tmobile order. I am now on the iUP.
 
By the time you finished writing the first sentence of this article, every Plus was gone. Hardly "improved".

Now if only T-Mo would get off their butts. My matte black 128GB 7+ is still not scheduled to ship until after the 27th. (Ordered it at go-live plus 5 hours).
 
Can add that I was able to get an AT&T 256 gb black 7 plus at the Apple Store, Perimeter Mall in Atlanta yesterday through the Upgrade Program. Had been checking availability in Atlanta throughout the weekend as I was out of town for launch weekend. Most of the Atlanta locations had at least a few pluses in stock, albeit not in all of the colors and configurations.

Check spam. It seems the reservation confirmation always goes into spam.
[doublepost=1474366036][/doublepost]You mean only in the US...? 7 Plus availability is still **** poor in the UK with seemingly no new deliveries into the country since Friday.

I'd be careful with that. You'd effectively be selling a device you don't yet own and I don't think Apple Care+ is transferable as I think it's customer specific. But I don't know that for sure.

I don't think I'll ever sign up for Apple's upgrade program after seeing how Apple treated its upgrade members.

How so? Thanks to them fixing it before the phones even came out, I walked into the store and got a 7 Plus on launch day with no issues. In fact it was so nice others in the family joined the program specifically because of that effort on their part.

Who cares about Jet Black anyway. Even according to Apple, is so scratchy, it needs tucking away behind a cover. Ridiculous!

I have the Jet Black iPhone. I have 0 scratches. I use no case. I don't use a screen protector. It's just fine. Maybe a construction worker wouldn't want to bring it to a site without a case, but if you're careful with your phone, it's really not a big deal at all. And Jet Black looks f***ing fantastic.

I get what you both are saying; however, you do know that they make clear cases. I have a 256gb 7 plus in jet black coming that I will put in a clear spigen case (soft rubber)

It's funny how cases suddenly became the worst thing in the world right around the same time that Apple said these phones will scratch. I don't remember too many people complaining about cases before that.
 
Apple upgrade customer here. Picked up the iPhone 7 Jet back 128gb on the 16th at the NYC fifth Avenue location. The specialist helping me was shocked. Asked me twice how I managed to reserve it. I got lucky I guess.

The Apple reservation system is not just for those who have or want to join the iPhone upgrade program. I had a 7 plus 128GB Black on pre-order, but was tired of waiting for it. I checked the reservation system yesterday morning at 4am and saw they had one available at my local Apple store. I reserved it and picked it up last night and paid for it through the AT&T next plan. They will allow payment though any of the carrier plans they support on their website, and the iPhone upgrade program. The only thing they will not allow is to buy the phone outright.

By the way, the phone is great! I previously had the iPhone 6, and am glad I went with the plus this time around.
 
Does anyone know if I can reserve an att/sprint/Verizon iPhone and use it on T-Mobile. I want to join the upgrade program. Thanks
