Carrier iPhone 7/7+ T-Mobile Pre-Order Thread

I preordered the Jet Black iPhone+ on 9/9 10am.

I just checked online and it says:

Being processed
Your shipping date range has changed
Estimated to Ship 11/01/2016 - 11/30/2016
DELIVERY
UPS Expedited Next Day

T-mobile rep told me I would be one of the first to get since they only had 4 people before me and we are in a busy part of Miami.

I don't know what to believe.

Any ideas?
 
iPhone 7+ Black 128gb ordered at 12:08am pst through the Apple Store app (8 minutes after pre orders went live)

Delivery 9/16, "your order is being prepared for shipment"

BUT.. I went to my product support page and there is my iPhone 7+'s serial number!

Always get apple care even with jump

I second that. Last year I decided that I would wing it and forego Applecare this 6s+. Within the first week, the phone slid out of my hand and feel 4 feet straight on the concrete and cracked.

Thankfully Apple allowed me to sign up and covered it, otherwise, I would have been out $849.
 
I preordered the Jet Black iPhone 7+ 128GB on 9/8 9pm Hawaii time (12am Pacific time)

Yet still have that 9/19 - 9/26 shipping. Lol

Come-on common courtesy for Hawaii people. Lol
 
If you get a coupon code, Squaretrade insurance is an amazing deal. Doesn't cover loss or theft, but if your phone breaks, file the claim, they will tell you to take it to Apple Genius Bar for repair and they will reimburse the cost minus the deductible.... QUICKLY via Paypal.
 
Just got off the phone with a local T-Mobile corporate store. Aaron informed me that they aren't expected to get any plus models in stores right away just like last time with the iPhone 6s except stock will be very limited in stores over the next few weeks to months until apple figures out the supply and demand chain issues.
 
Ordered Jet Black 7+ 128GB and black 7 128GB 9/9 around 10am.

Started thinking about getting it on time since the date was 11/1-11/30, and decided to cancel it.
Ordered 2 black 7 128gb 9/11 around 3pm and got charged today. Shipping 9/15-9/16 but no shipping notifications.

Or maybe they didn't know what they were talking about.

It does but at 175 bucks per issue up to 2 issues only.

Apple care adds additional protections and costs 75 bucks for a cracked screen repair.

No, it's now 29 for screen repair. But the high up front costs isn't worth it if you are paying for JUMP already in most cases

Couldn't see if anyone answered you already, the reason is because they give you a lump sum bill credit for your trade-in. You can also apparently have this applied to your EIP balance so that you do not end up paying anything. The emphasis on this promotion is "zero net cost," for this very reason where they give you the trade-in credit one-time as whole.

Still chatting with them on Twitter, they are saying you can't apply trade-in to EIP balance so that your net cost is $0.

If in worst cast you are able to apply trade-in to EIP balance, it will reduce net EIP balance. Since your monthly payment on EIP plan is always fixed $27.09 this will reduce number of months in which you will repay the loan.

Example.

iPhone 7-32gb EIP TOTAL = $649.99
Monthly = $27.09
Trade-in value for iPhone 6 = $165

If trade-in apply to EIP balance net balance left = $485
Now new number of months since EIP payment is fixed = $27.09

New number of months= $485/27.09 = 17.90 months

Tmobile credit which they apply to monthly EIP = $20.21 (because they already give you tradein of $165)
Rest you have to pay every month= $6.88

So you will pay $6.88 x 17.90 months = $123.15 more to TMO.

This is BS, clear case of cheating. Tell me if I'm wrong..
