I had them do the same thing because I don't want a refurbished unit.
I don't wanna sound like an idiot but what's the big deal with getting a refurbished one? Just that it's not been used by anyone or that it's completely new?

Can you imagine how many refurbished units have been fixed from dropping them in a toilet filled of who knows what?

So back to square one. I just got my order number! Estimated shipping for my replacement device is now 11/15-12/12. Lord Jesus
[doublepost=1477126179][/doublepost]
That's my new estimated delivery date. For the same device to replace this crappy one they sent me. They better go ahead and put mine on the same plane as yours!
Omg bp_91 I can't believe that happened to you I'm so sorry :( I hope they put you way ahead of the rest!

I have the yellow tint as well. I have a replacement device on order from T-Mobile and I go to the Apple Store today to see if they can give me a replacement faster than T-Mobile. My estimated shipping dates for my replacement from T-Mobile are 10/31-11/21.
I hope they put you and bp_91 way ahead of everyone. I can't believe that happened to y'all :(

Hi all. I am new to the forum and will be new to the iPhone soon. I am coming from years of Samsung. My current phone is the Note7.

I have an order question. When ordering the 7+ from T-Mobile on JUMP and EIP, do you pay the $20 down payment plus taxes? Can anyone who did this let me know their total? I am trying to decide if I want to go ahead and order or wait until they are available in stores.

If I would've had this phone for a couple months (6 or more) I wouldn't mind a refurbished unit. Being that I was charged for the phone on 10/17 and received it 10/19 making it brand new and had an Apple rep determine it defective the same day I want a brand new phone.

Refrubished phones can actually be better than a new one. However I understand the OP wanting a new phone since they just got it with problems out of the box

OK, I have no idea what T-Mobile is doing. I had a pending charge yesterday, then this morning, it was gone. Now a few hours later, it is back. Let's see if this time it stays and my wife and I get our phones. I understand Apple didn't produce enough product this time, but this is ridiculous. My brother and sister in law walked into a Verizon store yesterday and walked out with 1- 7 128G RG, and 1- 7+ 128G MB. We are switching from Verizon to save money but I guess you get what you pay for sometimes. LOL Guess I'll ride this out and wait as the only other option is to stay with Verizon and pay over $149 more a month.

Yeah they have the 7 ,but not the 7+, at least not in my area. I'm trying to be patient as I know there was an issue with supply from Apple. I know Apple didn't want a surplus of phones as they had when the 6 and 6+ launched. Also, I'm just a bit confused as to why T-mobile would charge me, then pull it, just to repost the charge hours later. Just seems to be a bit unorganized.

Evelyn (T-Mobile Exec) told me they don't have pluses in-store because they have yet to fulfill their online orders. Once that is done...they will have the 7 pluses prob sometime in November.

I was told that all my fees (including upgrade charge, shipping etc.) that appeared would be waived when I turned in my Note 7 after receiving the new 7+. I didn't use my jump upgrade so not 100% sure on that charge. I haven't paid a dime since this whole thing started a month ago. It's all been pending charges that no one ever puts through knowing they'll get waived.
