Other people in here from mid october have been charged for the matte black 128gb plus. no one has been charged for the 256GB

Interesting. I ordered a Black 7+128GB 12:05 on launch day and haven't been charged and hasn't changed from processing. I also ordered my Mrs a silver 7+ 128GB at the same time and I'm using it right now. Arrived yesterday. Really disappointing.
 
Stupid question I had the 7+ jet black ordered and asked a representative to cancel my order (had november dates) and now i ordered a 32gb 7+. Now im wondering about my ability to JUMP to a 128 matte black/ jet black somewhere in november (when the availability is not a problem) is that possible?
 
We just ordered a Matte Black iP7 128GB (not a plus) for a new line we just opened today and the ship date is already 9/19-9/26... Damn okay... But my 3 7+'s (all ordered 9/9 by 5am EST) are all estimated for 9/27-10/10 -_- These next planes better have a LOT of the pluses in MB and 32/128GB form.

I can believe this.

There's far more availability for the 7. The 7+s (especially in black and larger sizes) the majority will not be shipped until late September / early October. And then there's the Jet Black orders as well.

This seems to be fairly consistent with what T-Mobile has said on the matter (both in their stores and online). And as I said before, really it's kind of Apple's fault. To be fair, I don't think Apple expected the Plus model actually selling more than the normal model with larger storage options.

I guess the only thing I was wrong about was Apple's sales numbers which so far (into December) are looking quite good. Much like last year, and the year before last.

I have to wait too but everything t-mobile has done is pretty consistent. Sure there's a few pluses in both blacks that could come early. By and large, however, I guess it's stick to the estimated shipping quotes
 
I have owned black, white, space gray and silver (in that order) in the past. Good thing about white/silver is you won't notice small scratches and scuffs.
Yeah I finally decided to just pull the trigger on a silver. I honestly could've waited for the JB but my brother wanted it bad so I was kind enough to give him my pre order instead of canceling it haha. And since I'm OCD when it comes to new phones, it would bother the hell out of me if I saw a small scratch on the JB.

my buddy went to 2 apple stores in washington. the store didn't even have the pluses in stock
 
No, the false part is that others posting in this thread have been charged for a matte black 128gb plus.

I pre ordered that config and definitely haven't been charged. I haven't seen it anywhere else either.
 
Have they?? I'm a 9/19-9/26 for a 7+ 128gb matte black and I've gotten nothing. Thats insane if true.

I honk new customers are getting priority but I might be wrong. If it isn't that t still seems like it's totally random

I'm a brand new customer as of this launch and my ship date is at 9/19 and hasn't budged. CC hasn't been charged. No nothing for a brand new signer to T Mobile. It's been a pleasurable transfer from AT&T. sarcasm* lol

It doesn't seem random. It seems there's a shortage of Black/Jet Black 128GB/256GB Plus units. As far as I can tell from this and other forums, T-Mobile hasn't shipped any yet.

The truth is apple won't have the pluses in stock until (wait for it)
9/27-10/10 which matches the 2-3 week shipping window for all colors except jet black.

For jet black, november is the estimated time frame
 
Anyone else have a second "New Device" order showing on their order status page? My second order has "Upgrade Order Correction", with a date of 9/15-9-20. Original order still there, with a date of 9/27-10/10. It seems to be related to the trade-in, but no idea what those dates mean.
