Apple iPhone 7 Sees Smaller Crowds, But So What?

This year Apple released word that the new iPhone 7 was allocated nearly entirely to pre-orders, with all iPhone 7 Plus models reserved ahead of store openings on Friday, as well as all iPhone 7 models in jet black.

Initial quantities of the iPhone 7 Plus have sold out globally as Apple Inc prepares to roll out its new gadget in stores, the company said Wednesday, Sept. 14.

With the dual camera setup, you get a 2X optical zoom plus a 10X digital zoom, which Apple claims is better than digital zoom on most smartphones thanks to the second telephoto lens.

According to Apple’s website, the jet black version of the iPhone 7 Plus won’t ship until November in the U.S. All other colors, including matte black, will ship in two to three weeks if ordered online directly from Apple. This photo was taken in Germany.

At present, Amazon retails the iPhone 6S 128GB for Rs 63,749, while the iPhone 6S Plus 128GB is retailing at 79,990. iPhone 6 128GB is priced at Rs 53,000 and the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB is selling for Rs 55,995.

And yet, as you’ll find out from reading through, I’m left a little cold by the iPhone 7 Plus. This year is no different and many people have been standing in line for a good while, waiting for the new iPhone 7 series to go on sale on Friday.

Speaking to an AT&T representative, who wished to remain anonymous, they indicated that their store and other stores in their area only had 6 iPhone 7’s in stock.

Yep, that one’s sold out, too. It just seems that the Tame Apple Press has not got the memo and is continuing to go into its over enthusiastic “hey there is a new iPhone mode” without doing any actual research.

In mainland China, a key market for Apple, where queues were more subdued than for previous launches since new models are only available on pre-order, scenes were nevertheless energetic as crowds of customers tested out the new handsets.

But Apple has not lost its shine for all customers.

EE: up to £97.65 cashback (available on iPhone 7 pre-order contracts £46 and above).

“I really wouldn’t have lined up if I had known that”, he told AFP.

The sites are free to use but they have premium options which give users access to exclusive cashback rates and faster payments.

The larger iPhone 7 Plus is even more of a wallet buster than it’s smaller sibling. “The dealer only offered me HK$7,600 at first, but I balked”.

As for those who don’t want another hard inquiry on their credit score and want out of the iPhone Upgrade Program, the bad news is that you’ll have to pay off the remainder of your 24-month loan, though after that, the phone is yours to do as you please.
