Is this true or just all gossip?I have been reading a hearing about delays until November.

So you bought a new, sealed 7 Plus for under $400?

Cladster lives in Australia. Huge price differences between US currency. He paid about $750 for his in US.
Edit: about $442 in US. Oof my math is bad tonight

Sorry AUD. Paid $950 and Apple sell for $1569 here. Gumtree seller, if you have the cash on hand there is some bargains as some people not all just want a quick sale.
My $950 is about your $717. $1 AUD = US 0.75, plus we have the Australian Apple Tax
I have a 6s and really want the larger size of the 7 Plus. Am I crazy? Next phone is expected in September.
I'd consider a 6s Plus but really want the depth effect as well, which it doesn't have.
Not crazy at all. The 7 Plus is a great device. Honestly, I'm growing more and more skeptical on what Apple is going to do with the next round of devices to really surpass what they did with the 7 devices.
this is why i picked up the 7+ now so i could wait for next year when this new overhaul design is refined.
Makes sense. I love my 7 Plus. So I wouldn't be upset if I were to wait another year for an upgrade if I'm not pleased with what I see this year.
I toy with the idea of going Android for a bit but I'm too invested in the Apple ecosystem.
If Android is something you're considering, just make sure you have enough time to thoroughly test and allow an option to stick with iPhone. My wife is completely engulfed in the Apple Ecosystem, if she wanted to use Android and drop her iPhone i'd be very hesitant to encourage her for the simple fact that iOS works for her (ecosystem and all). Android offers a lot that iOS doesnt (still settling in to this 7+) BUT for me, iOS was the right move as it worked better for what i need.
So if you wanna try Android (if you've never used it before), try to find a cheaper model (Moto or One+) or make sure if you buy a high end that theres a return period available.
Definitely. I'd be keeping my iPhone. And up until around 3 years ago I was an avid Android user. Haven't used it since the iPhone 6 released. I'm fairly familiar with it. But in these last three years I've purchased almost every product Apple offers lol. So the transition wouldn't be easy. I'm more than likely sticking with my iPhone. But I am planning on playing with the S8 this week at the Verizon store. We will see what happens from there.
Best of luck! Just keep in mind even the S7 of last year repeated the same behaviors as previous Sx devices where after a few months they would slow down (i had the S3 and S6). Sometimes cache clearing helps but eventually the device could get bogged down. Im not saying this will happen with the S8 but good to keep in the back of your mind. Android has come a very long way in the last 2 years, more refined solid experience overall. Keep us posted on your experience!
I honestly never experienced those issues. I had all the S devices up until the S4. My brother who is on my Verizon account has the S7 Edge and has not mentioned anything about slowness or anything. I could be the exception but I experienced no more or less lag than I experience on my iPhone. The main thing that converted me was iMessage and at the time I had an iPad and so integrating those experiences was key.
I'll definitely share my experience if I try it out.
