iPhone 7/7+ Apple.com Pre-Order Thread

[Raist3001]

I ordered my JB 7+ on 10/26 with a shipping window of 4-6 weeks. I am in my 4th week now and my order is still processing

I thought with the improved shipping speeds (you can order from apple and have it shipped in 2-3 weeks) I would see my precious sooner rather than later. Guess I am not that lucky.

Looks like 7+ JB stock is starting to become more available! My 128 GB that was ordered on 10/24 just changed to preparing to ship today despite getting a 6-8 week message that later changed to 4-6, super excited!

I literally ordered mine 2 days after you and I am 4 weeks in and no update.....still says processing order. a few days after I ordered mine, the shipping times improved to 3-5 weeks. I really had hoped this also improved my shipping time.

I ordered and picked up a 128gb JetBlack iPhone 7 Plus Sim Free last week. Ordered Thursday, picked up Friday.

So they are popping up randomly in stores to be bought and picked up. Just keep checking.

Ordered my iPhone 7 plus, 128gb matt black, on November 8. Delivery estimate is 6-13 December.

They're in stock and ready for pickup at the store, but the closest Apple Store is 3.5 hours away. 7-8 hour round journey.

Upgrading from 16gb iPhone 6. The 6 is still a great device, but the 11.7gb usable storage was just becoming more and more difficult. Was tempted to go for a regular iPhone 7 because they are shipping next business day.

I guess I'll have to wait.....

I'm in the same boat, although I ordered 2 weeks after you. Still no update. Apple says "Ships 2-3 weeks" on product page.

When I spoke with Apple last week, they said the improved shipping times are for new orders only. Not sure why folks who ordered 2 days prior to me have their phones already. Hang in there, our day will come soon

Our day will come. Let's hope after all this, we don't receive an iPhone 7 DOA!

Happened to me with the iPad Air 1.... Let's just say I wasn't too happy!
What capacity did you order? I ordered the 128gb, which seems to be in highest demand.

Yep me too
I ordered the 128gb.
Are you putting a skin on yours? I have a SlickWrap I will be putting on mine. I chose the SlickWrap because it covers everything including the speaker grills
Then I have a fusion case by Ringke I will also use. Back is clear plastic and bumper is piano black.

Verizon people... After waiting for weeks from Apple, I just checked with Verizon today and the 128GB Jet Black and Matte Black 7+ are both in stock if you order from the Verizon website. I ordered a JB+ around noon today and already have a tracking number.

I already have the iPhone 7+ MB 128gb (Nov 10) ordered on Oct 17. The long wait will totally be worth it. I'm learning a few tricks on my own and from friends here at macrumors.
I know your excitement much as I was checking the progress almost everyday of my order. But once you get it, whatever model/memory you chose, you will definitely be pleased and happy.
While waiting, I suggest you check and visit stores now, feel free to touch and compare, based on your activities, which case you'll be using for your iPhone.

LOL...thats exactly what I have been doing
Not sure if this is making my impatience worse......LOL

I did notice all the micro abrasions on the Apple models. You know what, it really is not a big deal. I really had to look to find them. There only visible when the light strikes them at a specific angle. A skin will totally protect the JB iPhone and prevent these micro abrasions. I refuse to stress about the unavoidable micro abrasions that will no doubt occur around the charging port. I want to enjoy my JB iPhone. I am coming from a 6+ so this will make for a nice upgrade.

Oh my friend, you need to be so so careful putting a skin on the JB iPhone... Please watch this video before you do...

Some iPhone wraps/ skins have been pulling the iPhone logo off the back! Be careful.

Ah me too, I ordered two Ringke Fusion cases (1 Clear, and 1 Smokey Black) from Amazon as I was so happy with the same model cases I bought in 2014 for my iPhone 6. They were great, and so cheap!!!

Great, I'm glad you're happy with it! What model were you upgrading from? Or was this your first iPhone?

Just enjoy. Its difficult to keep everything as perfect like out of the box condition. Have fun.

Wow, I thought jumping from my i5 to the i6 was a big jump, but 5 to 7+

Glad you're enjoying!

I have seen that video and the potential issue with the removal of the markings. Not such a big deal for me. If I had to worry about on or the other, I'd stress more about the micro abrasions. A skin can last me 2 years before I will need to think about removing it. By that time, I will have sold my phone or traded it in for an upgrade

Definitely a huge jump for me. I thought of waiting for 8, but if I do, yikes it'll be like waiting forever.
The patience and experience plus the breakthroughs in technology, updates, and stuffs that I can do, is like owning a beetle (iPhone 5 16gb/ iphone5s 32gb)then to an Audi (7+ 128gb).
Definitely awesome.

Understood Sir. It's your decision!

Let me ask you this! Apple plan on holding a Black Friday event this Friday, and rumour has it they will offer a gift card of somewhere between $50-$200 with iPhone 7 purchases.

If this is the case, should we cancel and reorder to receive the gift card? If this is the case, I will contact Apple and challenge them on it. The thought of having to cancel is killing me, but that gift card could be so useful :O I could contact them and ask them if they could include it with my order.

OMG!!

That would totally suck for people STILL waiting 4 weeks or more for their iPhones. This would just be salt in the wounds!! Any way to confirm this?

Yes Sir. I'm only going on what they did a few years ago. Last year, they had no Black Friday deals. But a couple years back, they gave free gift cards worth a few hundred euros to customers who placed an iPhone/ iPad or Mac order on the day.

If this is the case, I will call Apple, and request a gift card. If not, I will cancel my order, and start from square one. I think it's worth it for a €1-200 gift card.

 

[Alxyzear]

Does the package comes from China? If so, how long/ how many days does it take for the package to be delivered in NJ??

Agreed me too. I will call Apple and plead my case.

Yes it comes from China. What I don't understand is why I am waiting 4 weeks now for the Jet Black, but I can go on Best Buy right now and order the Jet Black for delivery December 1st!!

Not sure about the USA... but here in Ireland, all Apple orders are either shipped from the UK, or Germany.

That's all we can do! Will see what happens.

Ok, from looking at Apple.com.au, it appears Apple is offering a 100$ gift card when you purchase a 6S/ 6S Plus... no offers on the "7".

That's quite tempting. But I think I will stick with my 7 Plus order. Still no update on my order btw...

 

[Mike5254]

Just hang on in there. You'll both have it soon. Crossing my fingers too. It'll be fun for us all here.

I logged into my Apple app and discovered that my wife's Rose Gold iPhone 7+ 128gb had moved to preparing for shipping. My hopes rose a little as I looked to my order only to find it still stuck in processing. I'm glad my wife's will be arriving shortly.....my wait continues
