I just read that the Foxconn factories in China which make iPhones use suicide nets outside of the factory.This is because workers keep jumping to their deaths due to being paid only a few dollars a day and poor working conditions. Hmm kind of makes me feel bad about all of this...
Tell that to Tim Cook. That's how Apple keeps in gross margins as high as possible. GREED! Of course, if iPhones were made in USA (which is silly since 90% of key raw materials mined in China) none of us could afford to pay for an iPhone since Apple would just raise price to keep up its margins.
 
Anybody placing an order today trying to get in on this offer needs to get on that silly T-Mobile One plan. It looks like if you got your pre-order in, you are set to keep whatever plan you had before.
 
It's becoming more apparent that my iPhone 7 jet black is taking until November to get here, as I haven't even been charged yet.

The worst part is I can't cancel my preorder because they said I used my Jump on it, and it would take days before I could order using my Jump again. So that means I can't just go into T-Mobile and buy it on launch day. What a mess

I'm in the same boat all we can do is hope it doesn't actually take 2 months. That's an insane amount of time.
 
Wait a minute... I'm famous in my family for ordering Christmas stuff as Amazon's counter says "order within 1 minute..." I have ordered stuff at 10pm and had it next day. If tmo or UPS is going home at 2pm today there will be riots in the streets.
They by no means are shutting it down at 2. It's not within bounds of realistic thinking.
 
All. That's ups's time cut off

I love it when newbs come into threads thinking they know it all.

Companies are different. They have agreements for batches and bulk. You can go from nothing to a package on your door step in under 7 hours.

There will likely be a wave if devices getting shipped out late tonight into 1am tomorrow that will be shipped and delivered.

Happened to me in the two prior years, same shipper.

Why do people work for Foxconn?
 
Guys. All we care about is jet black and pluses. Stop talking about regular 7s and rose gold because you will get em on friday. God.
how do you know we will get them on friday?

I ordered on 9/9 at 0900CST the following

Iphone 7 128 Silver
Iphone 7+ 128 Matte Black

I have not seen movement on either. Signed the EIP for the order on 9/9 at 1000 CST

you can't just assume anyone that ordered a 7 will get theirs on friday. My shipping date ranges are 9/27-10/10
