Because that was just for THEIR stores. They did not mention resellers.
I read an article yesterday that said the demand for the plus was more than they expected and no one would have any on launch day.
Walked into the store this morning in Brooklyn, NY... no line, but they had opened early (which I didn't know). They never had any 7+s, they said, but was able to get a 128gb Black 7 without any issue. I had them cancel my Verizon pre-order and 20 min later, I left with my new phone. Easy peasy! It was the same 2 years ago when I got my 6 on launch day.
I was oh so close to pulling the trigger for the plus but for me as an everyday phone the 4.7 screen is just better. I don't watch a ton of things on my phone and I still use it for running. I did have to cancel my preorder and reorder to get the proper trade in credit from verizon. If I would have went with the plus I wouldn't be getting one until Halloween.
Got that confirmation in Boulder as well. Wondering if its worth checking with Best Buy when they open.
No 7+ in Pittsburgh, PA at any locations. The stores around here have been communication on this.
Same here, I drop my phone a lot as well. Plus, I don't think I can text with one hand with the plus.
Verizon corporate store here in Charlotte, NC did have all color available for the iPhone 7 including Jet Black but no iPhone 7 Plus in stock.
I did the same last year when I found out that the Plus models were not even shipped that morning. I actually waited a week and then got the regular model. But not this year, I'm sticking with my pre-order. I've never owned a Plus so this will be a nice upgrade from my previous 6S and current SE. I'll run to the Apple store after work just to play around with the phones and wait for my Plus to arrive next week.
Just tried to get my phones from verizon. Switching from Tmo and taking advantage of their $650 per line buy out deal. We went and got a quote on everything last Tuesday. Went in today and they say they changed the deal to where instead of trading in a 6 or 6s and getting trade in bill credit and a gift card for the remaining balance, they now do small monthly bill credits over the course of the installment term. This does not help me pay off the Tmo EIP whatsoever. I have in writing that we could get the trade in bill credits and gift cards and they say that they can't do it. Anyone else having similar issues?
When they announced you get $650 credit, you receive a $27 credit for over the course of 2 years. So essentially it is like a 2 year contract if you want the whole $650. Before you were able to do a trade in and get up to $300 gift card, but they changed it. So if you wanted to get a new phone next year you would only end up getting $325 in credits
I'm okay with that. Next year is supposed to be the big redesign. After having the 6 for two years and some of the issues around the "new design" that came with it, I'll be happy to get on a S type cycle with the next design.
