Newcastle and Bluewater stores were both showing available reservations for the 7 plus in matt black earlier this morning, seems to have gone from Bluewater now though.

So early morning reservations may be the way to go.

it works well though doesn't it.

Quite an obviously limited supply, that they just keep on managing to send more over for the next batch. They must have made this new batch within a day. quick work at making these phones!!!

And it just so happens that it creates a situation in which the customer sees an iphone in stock, panics, buys it, without the advantage of time to fully consider dropping the best part of a grand on a phone barely improved from the last one rofl

Don't know about barely improved, my 7 seems much better than my 6 plus (though i've a sneaky suspicion my 6 was actually borked.)

Hopefully it's not actually a hardware issue as I think at the moment stores don't have the stock to just swap it...

Still holding out for a 7+ Matte Black 128Gb, my order is still showing 4-10th Oct, and just can't seem to get lucky with a reservation.

Was sourced through the business team even after the store reported no stock, so I'm hoping they can swap it from there. (They have access to other stock.)

Don't suppose you live anywhere near Milton Keynes? They have the 128gb and 256gb matte black Plus for pick-up today.

Nope, live in the southwest, pretty much exactly 80ish miles between three stores.

I may not have explained it clearly, sorry.

I've been trying to reserve online through the normal process, but the system reports no stock in the store for allocation. Yet, when I phone up and ask, they do have stock that can be sold there and then.
I assume the business team have access to additional stock that is not available to the normal web reservation system.
Pay in lump sump or on the interest free deal?

well i ordered a 7 and 7plus - both arrived today.

After a quick play with each i've actually decided to go for the 7 plus and stick the 7 on eBay. They are going for very silly money indeed.

It's faster than my 6s - appreciably so. Fantastic camera and zoom.

I got a Matt Black 256Gb Plus today booked and reserved online at 9am went to the store to add to the apple upgrade program and my new address is only three lines and isn't accepted. They need to rectify this and will get it all sorted on Friday. Vodafone have lost another customer! Christmas was expected delivery of the 128GB one and I pre ordered at 8am on the 9th! Order 9am in the UK and if i had the cash to blow would have been mine today!
