Not doubting you, but idk how they weren't prepared, every time apple talk about the new Iphone, black/jet black was mentioned. Even used those colors on banners etc. idk what they expected
Remember Rose Gold for last year? They weren't prepared for that either.

If you google ATT, VZW TMo preorders you'll find the articles. TMO had 4x the preorders than last year.
 
Can someone explain how when I preordered the iphone 7 plus, the trade in value was only 165 for my old 6 so where in the contract is the 650 bill credit. What if they scam us.
$165 lump sum bill credit

$650 - $165 = $485

$650/24 mo. = $27.08 monthly installment
$485/24 mo. = $20.21 bill credit monthly

They gave me the option to apply the trade value to the EIP. If you do that then the monthly charge and bill credit zero each other out.

I don't care about Friday shipping (somewhat) I just don't wanna wait until the end of October for the phone that's all. How did Apple not prepare for black phones when matte anything has been poppin for a bit now

Especially since they got rid of the space gray, had no other option except wait for Santa Claus to bring a jet black phone and eat my cookies

It's funny how most of you are probably full time working professional adults, and I'm just a 19 year old college student who saves enough money each year to buy an iPhone 7+ at full price lol

Hmm I think I beat you. 17 here and in highschool.. off to college in a year. Saved up enough money working part time to pay the difference off from my 128gb 7 Plus after trade in credits :)

Lol super off topic. Anyone else ever think when they get to iPhone 18 or 19, that's just going to be weird. They'll need a new name or something. Same with iOS. Ios 19???

i bet if you talked to another rep, you would get a different answer.

Exactly. I'm not doubting he was told that....but what I do doubt is the reps having any real specific info on shipping dates changing.
 
Are you sure? You can't do JoD upgrades through the website.

I have an order confirmation number and signed the EIP! I was on the phone with a T-Mobile rep when I placed the order, suprised her too. She said that the order did go through and said that one of the jump programs (assuming jump on demand since it's the one I have) can do the upgrade online.

That's why I think they should switch to Roman Numbers. It's rather obvious. Don't know why they haven't done it. iPhone X

Anybody upgrade to iOS 10 yet?
My iphone 5 is too slow already, probably won't try to upgrade it out of fear

Yes I have. It's actually been ok so far on my iPhone 6. Battery life is probably 5% worse I think.

$165 lump sum bill credit

$650 - $165 = $485

$650/24 mo. = $27.08 monthly installment
$485/24 mo. = $20.21 bill credit monthly

This 100% correct
 
So I just got off the phone with someone at T-Mobile's executive team and here's what he had to say. Any movement on the jet blacks before mid October is highly unlikely. Apparently they were back ordered even before a single order went in. Even T-Mobile isn't getting hold of any phone physically until early tomorrow morning.
