Anyone know if a Jet Black has shown up at all yet for reservations?

Also is there any way to get emailed stock alerts in the UK?

Thanks

No jet blacks see. Wouldn't expect then until next week, if then.

No emails. By the time you fit it, would be gone. It's all about the graft

Can you believe that there is not one JB available any where in the world!!!
[doublepost=1474439679][/doublepost]Decided to give up my search for the 7+ and wait till they increase production and then get a JB on the IUP.

So I have an iPhone 7 Plus Black 128GB reserved at Glasgow on the iPhone Upgrade Program. Can I just tell them I've decided to pay for it upfront?

Not actually getting reservations. Just seeing stock available to pay now and pickup tomorrow. It's still not clear on if this gets first dibs and leftovers go to reservations in the morning or if it's split so both avenues get a fair crack tho, as there seems to be confusion.
Im 90% sure that pickup stock is the same as reservations, as all the models showing as in stock for me on the reservations site are also available for pickup today on the main apple store page.

EDIT: not entirely correct, the rose gold 32gb is showing as available for reservation, but not available for pickup. Every other colour and capacity is the same however, even the 128 black i7.

There were a couple of 128gb 7+ Black iPhones in my local shop – some people said they bought them last night when they were available and they're not available for reserving through the IUP this morning.

Feels to me like they're the same stock.

Guys! I accident reserved a Matte black 128 7+ thinking it was Jet black at Bluewater. No way to cancel the reservation which is an absolute pain. Is there any way someone else can use that reservation without needing any of my personal information?

Was about to get through checkout for Matte 7+ 128GB in Glasgow when I was rejected by the website. Now iStockNow is showing 0 stock for ALL PHONES AND MODELS across Europe. I'm thinking maybe the reservations were taken down rather than the stock not being available? I hope so, can't imagine there was much traffic at this time.

When booking close stocks get to zero.

Which is what I suspected and it's annoying. Fair enough it's the same stock coming into the store, but should split it 50/50 between what goes up for order for instore pickup and reservations.

I would be happy to pick it up if you don't need it

Not sure how it would logistically work though

There was talk about this in another thread the other day, not sure it's possible. No one actually came back with a successful attempt.

Thats annoying! Just spoke to Apple and they're not even sure. They're going to call me back later today. Otherwise I might just go and buy it and end my Jet Black search.

I spoke to them yesterday and they said they can only see what we see. They weren't even aware of additional stock and at first tried to tell me it was uncollected 6am reservations, until I pointed it out that we know that certain stores didn't have that stock at 6am.

I am doubtful you'll see a Jet Black Plus in the next week, let alone 2 weeks. After looking st the pics, I am sticking with matte black. The Jet black looks nice but would be a nightmare and pointless when I would be keeping it in a case all the time.

Yeah...since I made the reservation I've started looking up more videos on the Matte Black and it looks pretty good. I don't normally use a case but would get some form of skin for the back and screen protector for the front.
