I was online the moment the preorder started and ordered 2 iPhones. i ordered within seconds of the start of it. both iPhones still show a delivery date of Oct4-10th.

This morning i walk up to my local apple store when it opens and immediately buy a Black iPhone 7 plus.

Whats was the point of the preorder, make the diehards wait even longer to get their phone? if they have a bunch to ship to stores why aren't they just sending them to the people waiting from the preorder.

by the way when I get to the store there is about 20 asian people, mostly older, already waiting carrying backpacks. These scalpers are pathetic

I think the days of preorders are coming to an end. It just doesn't work anymore. More problems than happy customers. At least the Carriers ought to get out of the preorder game. They just aren't good at it.
