If anyone else has been following the preorder debacle on the web, you will have seen that preorders have massively out-stripped supply. So much so that Apple, for the first time, have been quite candid about the low stocks. Apple's latest update was:
"We couldn't be happier with the initial response to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and we are looking forward to beginning sales through our retail stores and partners around the world.
Beginning Friday, limited quantities of iPhone 7 in silver, gold, rose gold, and black will be available for walk-in customers at Apple retail stores. During the online pre-order period, initial quantities of iPhone 7 Plus in all finishes and iPhone 7 in jet black sold out and will not be available for walk-in customers. Availability at partner locations for all finishes may vary and we recommend checking directly with them.
Customers can continue to order all models in all colors on apple.com. We sincerely appreciate our customers' patience as we work hard to get the new iPhone into the hands of everyone who wants one as quickly as possible."
This seems to mainly effect stocks available to stores, for those who want to walk-in and buy. However, there are other forums etc where people are reporting their shipping updates. Most report that there is a delay of at least two weeks (and up to 6 weeks) on ALL MODELS.
I think the most frustrating thing for Vodafone customers is that all of us have been assured that we will receive a phone on launch day- we just have to wait and have faith, as there are no updates being given on any system of tracker.
As of yesterday evening (Weds) I have again been assured that my phone will arrive tomorrow (Fri). Iphone 7 Jet Black 128GB
