Was getting the same date. Ended up getting matte black. Couldnt get JB on any of the upgrade programs. At least i get a phone next week now.

I got matte black for the same reason. I'll see if I can finagle a Jet Black out of stock on pick up day "Oh poo poo. What? I clicked the wrong one. drat son. Got any I can switch with?"

I got hosed. I have the upgrade program but they don't recognize my old serial number or the replacement iPhone serial number as being enrolled. I'm also not seeing my AppleCare that I bought with the upgrade.

I spent 4 hours on the phone this week between apple support, citizensone, and the local Apple Store trying to resolve this with no result. I going to the store tomorrow to see what they can do now that their systems will be back up and expect a pre-order.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

I'm a little annoyed at how random the in-store pickup is with Apple. For the 6+ in store was no problem. For the 5, it was delivery only. Every other iPad I've ordered has been a delivery only.

Why are neither the phone nor the watch available for pick up?

Yeah this just screwed me too. I can select the watch model I want but the store app won't let me select store pickup. Guess I've gotta try reserving next Thursday night?

Somehow I imagined this experience would be more rewarding.

First time signing up for the upgrade program. Managed to snag a 7+ 128 Black model that should arrive on launch day. Had a little trouble getting the order to go through initially but I assume their site was just getting slammed. Have had this iPhone 5 for years and been suffering all summer with a crapped out battery. So stoked about managing to get this. Time for bed.

I managed to preorder within the first few minutes without having to wrestle with my banks fraud detection. Wouldn't let me select my store for pickup and now it says that it will be delivered to me between the 18th and 31st of October :qq:

I ordered a 6S the day after pre-order went live and got it on launch day so yeah they had plenty of the regular sized model, can't speak to the + since I switched to that later down the road.
It was the same way with the 6 as well. I preordered it the next morning and it was available for release date delivery while 6+ models were delayed to November.

Placed my order for a matte black 128GB 7+ and October 4-10 delivery (:argh: first time not getting release date iPhone delivery). Do you guys know if delayed shipment estimates are conservative and phones get delivered earlier?

The ones that are a few weeks after launch (yours) are pretty accurate, but like if you ordered one now and it says "November" you could very easily get it like October 15th.

People way earlier in the thread were claiming (arguing) that it's still possible to do the 2-year contract $199 thing or whatever but honestly from everything I've seen every carrier has moved to the buy outright or $25/m thing.

If you're having problems you're either holding the phone wrong or you have tiny girl hands.
If you are tmobile try calling 611. Order completed in 14 minutes and delivery on release day.

Yeah when I called yesterday the service rep said basically that my only option was AT&T next which I thought was BS as its in their best interest to move you to that but from everything I'm reading it sounds like she's right :(

Guess I'll go for the Apple upgrade plan.

No change from the usual for me. I called 611 and they said they weren't doing the trade in deal that way. I'm DMing their twitter help who say they can order a phone but they take 20 minutes to reply to each message.

Really annoyed that Apple won't let me buy one of these. Even if you buy a phone outright for full price they require you to give them your phone number and account info. When I put mine in it says "Account type not supported" because my number is on a business account with verizon.

Why won't you just let me give you $800 for a phone? :(

I noticed the carrier selection this morning when I went to pre-order because I went to the US store by mistake. What's the point of this? In the UK there's none of that, it's just a straight up purchase like any other

The only thing I can think of is that they're just using it as an authentication method to prevent scalpers on the new devices. If you go to the store page for any of the other iPhones you can pick a carrier, or pick "SIM-Free".

The phones have different cell chips (GSM/CDMA, GSM only) based on your provider. Don't know why they couldn't just do the Verizon model if you're buying an unlocked phone, but my guess is they wanna know your network so they can sell as many GSM only (cheaper) phones as possible.

Looks like it'll take that long before you can contact Apple. I tried to call them at what would be like 5:30am pacific and the phone was like yeah. We aren't even going to put you on hold we have so much call volume. Go gently caress yourself goodbye.

I just went through and checked and Jet Black seems to be the biggest loser (November). You can still get matte black models in 2-3 weeks and quite a few gold configurations are still delivered on launch day.

It changed for the 7. Phones for AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM-only, while phones for Sprint and Verizon are GSM/CDMA.

Cross post from there other thread, but I checked ATT this morning and their preorder page showed my same model with 10 day earlier delivery so I cancelled my Apple order and went through them instead. It also allowed me to change the delivery address as well

Stupidity, its both physically and mentally painful.
FYI all Sprint/Verizon models will work on ATT/T-Mobile as the bands are universally shared. I easily secured myself a 256GB Jet Black 7+ about 30 minutes ago this way. :)

I ordered one relatively early on as a present and have "Shipping: 6-8 days" and "Delivery 28 Sep - 30 Sep" but when I put one in the cart now (9 hours later) it shows "Delivery 21 Sep - 23 Sep". :confused:

I ordered a 32gb 7 + and immediately regretted it. I should have gone with the 128. Apple Store won't let me cancel it since its processing. I should be able to just take it to the Apple Store and return it once it's delivered and then pre-order the 128 since I'm sure they won't have any in stock??

What's the loadout/delivery date and how did you pay for it? If it's jetblack/september you might be able to resell it for a little bit extra.

Otherwise yeah returning it shouldn't be a problem at all.
