Apple really should do a better job at taking care of it's home market.....

Totally agree but Tim is obviously looking at satisfying the shareholders, as the rest of the world now collectively is a larger market than the domestic piece of the pie.

He's straddling a fine line between keeping most consumers in the first-wave launch countries sort of content or at least 'understanding' with delivery dates and not leaving any other market feeling left out or ignored by Apple.

I wonder why India is in the loner here. Would this have anything to do with Apple not having a presence ?

I appreciate that Apple want to launch in as many countries as possible and that people in those countries will want these launches as early as possible too.
However, it is extremely frustrating to see them to do this when myself, and many more who ordered on 9th as soon, as we could are still waiting on deliveries.
I ordered a plus 128 matte black and still have an estimated delivery of the 30th.
Good luck to those who are in these second wave countries and hopefully my delivery might live up a day or two.

I'm pretty sure that patience has already been genetically eliminated from the human race. :D

Uhm, well back in the day we had to wait for the newest Nintendo, Sega, and PlayStation consoles. Sometimes a year later!
 
Hi there, I would like to speak to people who are angry, that they ordered iP7+ in first wave and they did not get any. I'm from Czech Republic (second wave country). We do not have regular Apple Store, we have only Apple Online store and Apple Premium Resellers. I preordered my iP7+ 128GB matte black inc. payment 20% in advance 8.9. already, so much more sooner than most of the people was able.

As the we had launch day yesterday, 0 pcs of iP7+ was delivered to Czech Republic, even our city Prague is one of main transport cites for distribution of iPhones to Europe. So no one in here did not received his iP7+ (none for walk in, none for pre-orders) and no one knows when it will be available. I have same information from our neighbors Slovakia, also no iP7+ available.

So please do not blame 2nd wave countries... only regular iP7 available here (expect jet black color)

And by the way, we pay much more money for Plus 128GB than US guys, even avg. month payment in Czech Republic is 800-900$. Here Plus 128GB cost 1.127$ incl. VAT., in US it is 947$

OMG. I get the image of illusionist logistics guru TC running around in craze, as an inverse King Midas, spraying Jet Black everything he can possibly touch...

your doing good....im attached to america (canada)

my ship date is 4-6wk ordered 5 mins after it pre-orders opened.
 
Pre-ordered a Jet Black Plus 256GB on the 11/9/16 with o2 here in the UK, paid £180 upfront and the money had left my account and Ive not heard a peep out of them since. :( Not had any texts, emails (apart from legal docs and order confirmation) not had an explanation as to what's going on with my order or when I can even expect it!

This has been the worst handled release by Apple and third parties.

Let's see how India responds with prices tagged over ~$1000s for the base model.

Rich Indian kids don't care even if they price it at $1500. Several friends of mine have already got the iPhone 7 Plus glossy black model for INR 75000- all smuggled front Dubai. I'm sticking with my rose gold iPhone 6s for atleast another couple of years

I'm In a 1st wave country (Sweden) and man is that + hard to get. Retailers and carriers have no idea when they are getting stock. A few phones show up at the warehouses now and then and no one knows when or what is coming before it arrives from Apple.
I have no idea when my JB 128+ is showing up, date just gets bumped.
 
It is irresponsible for them to move to launch second wave when they haven't fulfilled stock for the first wave! This year has been the worst in UK and I fear this will further restrict availability - they don't care as long as those orders fly in. At the moment I hate Apple and the UK carriers who still cannot fulfill orders. It is a huge mess.

Following their September 16 debut in more than 25 countries around the world, the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus are seeing their second wave launch today, debuting in a number of additional countries across Europe and the Middle East.

The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus are now available for purchase in the following locations: Andorra, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Greenland, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Isle of Man, Jersey, Kosovo, Kuwait, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Maldives, Malta, Monaco, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

With today's second wave launch, Apple's latest devices have rolled out to more than 55 countries, and will expand to India in the near future with an October 7 launch date planned.

In many countries, supplies of the iPhone 7 and especially the iPhone 7 Plus are likely to be severely constrained, as Apple has been struggling to meet demand. In the United States, Apple had no iPhone 7 Plus stock available for walk-in customers on launch day, with all supplies having gone to pre-order customers.

Wait times are up to three to five weeks for the most popular iPhone models, like the Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus, in many countries, with lower two to three week shipping estimates for other devices.

The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus feature better water resistance, much improved cameras (with a dual-camera for the 7 Plus), faster processors, brighter, more vivid displays, a redesigned Home button powered by a new Taptic engine and no headphone jack.

The Apple Watch Series 1, Apple Watch Series 2, and Apple Watch Edition are launching in new countries today as well, including Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Cayman Islands, Croatia, Czech Republic, El Salvador, Greece, Guam, Hungary, Jersey, Kuwait, Macau, Monaco, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia and the US Virgin Islands.

Apple Watch Hermès Series 2 models are also available as of today in Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Macau, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, UAE, the UK and the US.

What? What kind of statement is that? If the great nation you are referring to is the USA - remember it was the British that invented the telephone. Allowing the eventual development of mobile and smartphones. So with your logic, shouldn't the British get 1st dibs on all types of phones that come out?

No, no they shouldn't...
 
Let me get this straight, I am waiting 6-7 weeks for a pre-order and Apple is launching in other countries.

That's complete bullcrap.

This launch is complete garbage and amateur hour.

There is a certain level of taking the customer for granted and hubris at play here, which I certainly don't like.

I returned to Apple for the 6S after 2 years on android and can just as easily return if launches are going to be this crappy.

Man I see you did not read my post 1 or 2 pages before... 2nd wave countries have ip 7 regular only. No plus available even I have preorder 8.9. probably sooner than you. So do not blame us ;-)
