Most AT&T stores should be posting a sign of what they DON'T have in stock.
Waiting to see. They have about 20 employees inside and are setting up a snack table right now. So....I got that going for me.

So, not tons? Sounds about normal for a moderate to high traffic store on a normal launch.

Not really! At least not for my store! We usually get plenty but it's to fulfill preorders, not walk ins! First time after working here for 3 years that I see so many phones for walk in customers! And only about 4 pre-orders
What store/location?

I vape but holy hell are 98% of people who vape annoying and weird as can be! Most of them do it to try and look cool....The other 2% of us just wanted to stop cigs hahaha

Welp.. after 9.5 hours of waiting.. no 7 Plus and no jet black 7 at my AT&T. Best part is, not only am I now going home empty handed.. I'm tired as hell so I'm gonna miss work today for no reason.

It's 100% actually and is probably as bad for you as smoking. We'll find our in 10 years.

Nothing to take pictures of, I am in a mall in NJ with BB Mobile and the carrriers. No lines.

I went last night to BB and the carriers in a mall. All told me then there was no Plus or jet black 7. Not sure why ATT could not tell you ahead of time.

Thanks for sharing those! I live around the St Louis area.. I never go down there for any releases like this since I order online all the time. Nice to see people coming out.West County Center near St Louis, MO at 6:39 AM. About 50 people in the walk-in line and I'm the only one here for reservations.
I agree - everyone needs to do it once. I remember that I did this for 2 separate phones at 2 different stores. I tried early am and was always wayyyy back in line. Seeing some of these empty line pictures is crazy - I have never rolled up on an empty scene like this. But alas kids and work changed and thank goodness Apple and AT&T interfaced better and I could do 2 year contract/NEXT now directly through Apple. Every preorder since then (except the Watch) has been smooth (even the much maligned 6+ launch) and like today, the phone arrived on launch day. Better than waiting for sure but miss those lines and the conversations.

Hilarious - I am in STL and that's my 'home' store although the Galleria is closer to work. Best of luck with reservations - hope it goes well.

I'm from the St. Louis area. That's my favorite Apple Store. I prefer it over the Galleria. Enjoy your new phone!West County Center near St Louis, MO at 6:39 AM. About 50 people in the walk-in line and I'm the only one here for reservations.

Just an update from me. My store opened at 8am (little over 3 hours ago) and surprise surprise, no Plus Models whatsoever. 12 hours spent in line for nothing. Well, not quite nothing, as I had my mom meet me there when they opened and she ended up getting a matte black 128GB 7. I also pre-ordered a 7+ 128Gb jet black. After looking at her matte in person though, I am strongly considering switching my order to a matte 7+ 128GB, as ill get it a month sooner and it will hold up better over time, all while still looking amazing. Not sure yet though.

Damn that sucks dude. We all been there though. I waited for an iPhone 3GS in white at an apple store many years ago and ended up leaving with a black one. Thats why i always preorder on apple.com now. And i also pay full price for it since it ends up being the same thing anyway. Good luck

That's actually what I planned on doing, and tried to do. When I went to pre-order on Apple.com for full price payment, they requested the last 4 digits of the account holders social (I'm on family plan), despite me being a manager on the account with the ability to add/upgrade lines! Well I didn't know the social and it was 2am so I decided to try through the Verizon app, which I realized would be a better idea anyways as they have the $650 trade in deal.
So I'm on the Verizon app and it's not giving me any buttons or option to pre-order/upgrade a line, when I know for a fact I'm an account manager. I was so frustrated I just went to bed.
I called Verizon the next morning, and first inquired why Apple was requesting the Account holders social when I'm an account manager. They said since I was made an account manager after the account was created Apple's system could only detect the Account holder and that's why it was prompting for her social. Fair enough I said, but then asked why I couldn't make an order through the Verizon app. They said oh no you should be able to. Well I said I can't and they verified I'm an account manager on their end. After a bit on hold they said we forgot to make the change to your login for the app/website. Essentially they said I was marked as an account manager but the change never got applied to my online login/account. So their fault, that I couldn't pre-order.
Tried to do it the right way, nope. Tried my luck at waiting in line, nope. Sigh...Oh well, my 6 plus works fine I can wait a month or two it just pisses me off that it was problems on their end.
