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

[Schism213]

So far we have people, with little to no info, who will have phones on friday despite shipping estimates. And we also have people, with little to no info, who will definitely not get phones on friday despite shipping estimates.

Okay, I need opinions. So it looks like I'm probably not getting my jet black iPhone 7 on release day. So I've decided to stay outside of a store a few hours until the open on friday morning. Would you guys think I have better luck at an Apple Store, or a Tmobile Store?

Do not cancel your order. Call the t-mo store and ask them to look at the incoming inventory. they should all start getting it today or tomorrow. my local store showed me there.

So the order I placed on 9/11 for an iPhone 128GB Black was going to be charged yesterday but my credit card declined it. Fixed it yesterday right away and was charged this morning. Hopefully it'll ship soon? I take it a charge means it's shipping soon.

It's crazy how people assume that Joe blow customer rep knows what's going on. It's only Tuesday!!!

Only people who ordered there iPhone 7's with ship date of 9/15-9/16 will get them. Some in the 9/19-9/26 may get them if stock is availible. No plus models are expected to ship Friday.

This is based off information over the last few days.

Apple. Carriers get hardly anything and very limited quantity.

Says who? You have no idea what will or won't ship.

Multiple members have posted chats from T-mo that plus models will not ship. not one person has an order delivery for 9/15-9/16 for a plus model in this form. if they do please speak up because T-mo is telling us this.

I would say t-mobile just because mostly everybody will first think to go to the Apple Store probably depends on your location though do you have both options near by?

Just got off the phone with t-mobile and i was told that every single iPhone 7 plus is on back order. My shipping date is 9/27 to 10/10 and i was told that there is no way i would get my phone this Friday( just what i wanted to hear)

This really pisses me off :/ oh well not much we can do now...

 

[whadzinaname]

I am in the camp that believes that there will be a bunch of shipping notices for the pluses starting tonight or tomorrow some time...

I think what we can really take away from all the relayed tmo info is that the reps have not that first clue what is going on with the 7plus. I find it difficult if not impossible to believe that Apple launched the 7 without having ANY pluses in the distribution pipeline for launch day delivery.

I hope this is correct!!!

I also believe that Apple is creating this perception of low supply so that a lot more than usual people would go in and put in orders. If you think about it, if the supply looks all dandy, a lot of people would just buy it whenever instead of putting in their order NOW...lol

I thought that as well, but its not like apple.

 

[kdking]

pray that these 9 planes coming into louisville by tomorrow morning have pluses
if they don't i would be surprised and apple should be at fault
hope shipping updates come tomorrow morning

But dude, it's also not like apple to have no stock for carriers on launch. Especially with all the pictures they seem to be sharing that are taken with a plus!

 

[domineus]

I mean when you think of it, it does make sense for the + model.

Apple only distributes the iPhone normal model while every pre-order taken is sent to Apple. Apple really provides a supply of pluses to satisfy the demand for t-mobile.

So if anyone should be blamed for the delays it is apple.

Also, stores will only have the iPhone 7. There may be some outlets with the 7+ but it'll be the lowest storage tier. The majority of pluses are coming directly from Apple and aren't even going to touch down in T-mobile stores until much later. So the 19-26 time table makes a whole lot of sense. Even if we don't like this scenario that's the burden of the beast.

TL;DR
No pluses the 16th.

Here, see these for iPhone 6s launch. Sound familiar? Low camera yields, low display yields whatever. People who ordered on preorder day and people who ordered late got them all on time! LOL

CS reps, Twitter reps, online chat reps Dont know diddley. Why cant some of you understand that? But go ahead and keep calling CS, and keep bugging the Twitter folks.

I've never wished for someone to take my money so bad. Until they charge my cc, nothing will happen. I remember this from the iPhone 6 launch. Still waiting here, no change. Ordered on 9/9 at 3:03am EST 7+ Jet Black 128GB. ETA is 9/27 - 10/24

wth, well now i don't believe the shipping dates. i ordered 6 mins after you and have a sooner shipping date. I bet (read: hopeful) that those dates all start to change and get moved up
