After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
This is the bottom line:
Last night I woke up at 3 am eastern to reserve jet black 7 plus 256 thru the my existing apple upgrade program. I got thru within a minute of the store coming back online. At this point there were no jet blacks AT ALL to reserve in ANY Of the stores in my state. In fact, I checked preorders as well at 3:05 am est and it said all jet black 7 plus shipping 4 to 6 weeks,
Based on the foregoing as well as the fact that I keep my phone in a case and the apple disclaimer that the jet black is more prone to scratching,- a no brainier. MATTE BLACK was reserved.
A short time thereafter no matte black 256 available as well.
It took minutes! I got in within a minute of the site coming up and still had a 6 to 8 day back order! Got a matte black 128 7 Plus!
I just looked and the Matte Black 128/256 are still showing available from Apple / AT&T for 9/16 delivery.
Jet Black 3-4 week delay
Must be your area, Philly not so much!
My area... LOL.. May have helped get an iPhone online, but nearest location for a pick up is 140 miles. 90 miles for a Trader Joes, and we just got our first Wendy's! I miss civilization! But yeah!
Does the Philly "white/yellow" cheese on cheesesteak still battle onward?
