Thanks but should the pending charge have remained until they actually charge, I hope the ball dint get dropped
Yeah I'm tired of this entitled BS talk, so I guess those people waiting in line for days at the Apple store for a Plus model and got told on Thursday afternoon/Friday that they had NO Pluses shouldn't care because if they got mad then there all a bunch of entitled cry babies
Okay, much more reasonable. Yes, it would have been nice if there were more units available, but I've never been involved in mass manufacturing so I don't know the kind of struggles that Apple faces in this regard. I do know, however, that iPhones are far more popular than almost all devices sold internationally. More and more people buy iPhones every year, but I doubt the manufacturing process gets much quicker year to year. Again- I don't know. You could be right and it's just a significant lack of foresight. I personally don't buy that, but who knows.
Personally, I'm more frustrated with the way T-Mobile handled their end of things, specifically with JoD customers. No way to order online, the wrong phone number listed when you click on the "Shop" button, and a vaguely defined down payment policy? Even if it somehow takes longer to get my phone, I think I'd rather start purchasing my phones from Apple.
I look forward to some movement yes, can't wait!!!
When this thread started it ask, which iphone are you getting.
All of us probably have mentioned that, now we are waiting on our iphones.
Not everything in life is positive, although alot of it is, there is nothing wrong with having a discussion amongst common people, it doesn't have to be all positive all the time.
theres no incoming planes to louisville listed so hopefully the ones that arrived this morning have black pluses and ship out tomorrow
I know that is not an easy process and the demand is very high.
But after all these years they cant somewhat predict demand and have a somewhat normal release with decent availability? A company that's worth over $500 Billion we're talking about here with over $220 Billions in cash reserves.
I just got a call from T-mobile Executive-I sent an email to John Legere early last week concerning frustration about the phone order process. I wasn't expecting a call back. Nothing really new, she apologized and said that supply was very tight for the launch and I am in the initial shipment of the 256gb black plus. She said T-mobile has not received ANY 256gb Black or Jet Black plus iPhones, yet. She was able to give me firm numbers on the EIP, confirmed since I did my EIP before Sept 15, I don't have to do ONE and can stay with my simple choice plan (which I kind of knew anyway).
She said my card has already been charged (it hasn't yet) but she noted that it will likely charge in the next 24 hours. She said that I should have the 256gb phone by week's end and gave me a direct line to call her if I don't see it moving this week.
Nothing I didn't know before.

If that is the case, I should have what I ordered, in the estimated shipping window and be able to at least get a quote and possible money for my old iphone 5 I wanted to trade to make use of their offer. Yeah I got a simple choice plan.
Wasn't the offer open to the iPhone 5 with additional down? She noted you had to have initiated the trade in before September 15 to keep the Simple Choice plan.

I don't know about 128gb. She specifically noted my order of a 256gb.
Pending charges drop off after 2-3 days if the card company doesn't receive charges from merchant.
I didn't read over everything in the offer, but yeah, I am going to have to pay some of the phone, since it is a 5.
I ordered on 9/9 like a lot of the other people on here on this pre-order thread.
I never said that! Just thought you could use some kindness.
Oh you knew what you were implying. But two can play that game.
I never meant that's what YOU were saying but there are some bullies on here that like to judge others and call names and act like we are the childish ones when they are exhibiting the same behavior. There is that better.
Now let me stop before the moderator comes for me again for just stating my opinion in an opinion orientated environment. Lmao.
If anyone is interested here is an article lists two nasty surprises which may cause owners of the iPhone 7 to regret their purchase

It mentions that the iPhone 7 Plus was not tested to see if it had sapphire glass, I don't know if anybody has been tracking that.
I also found another article about the hissing noise, seems by this article the hissing isn't an issue hmmm, although the site starts with an 'i' don't know if they are apple caterers or not

So your saying verizon iPhones can't be used on tmobile? What year are you still living in?
That is correct
[doublepost=1474255292][/doublepost]
Tmo did as well. Verizon and AT&T are still fulfilling preorders, just like Tmo
Everyone's in the same boat. It's not carrier related. It's supply related.
I talked to a T-Mobile CS manager yesterday as well. The 32 and 128 go black plus is estimated to ship 11/1 -11/15 if you were to order now. The 256 gb is scheduled to ship between 10/03-10/10 if you ordered now.
With all of that said, the CS manager phone said estimated ship has been constantly fluctuating. He noticed that when he went to call me the estimated ship date for a new order on 256 black was 11/1-11/15, but by the time our call was wrapping up 25 mins later, it changed to 10/03 - 10/10.
In all I think this is being a little overblown. As stock arrives in apple and T-Mobile retail, people will cancel, and bump everyone else up.
Not quite-it appears they are also having similar delays. Late November for the jet black plus in 256gb!!

I've given up, personally. It will get to me when it gets to me. Too much time and energy expended on constant refreshing...hopefully it will come this week for me. This is a supply issue from Apple.
Apologies if this has already been addressed, but this is simply not true.

Wife got her phone on launch day, and doesn't have to have her trade-in sent until 10/10... must be an error on their part (in your case).
