Customers, most of whom had pre-ordered the Apple iPhone 7, wait to enter on the first day of sales of the new phone outside the Berlin Apple store on September 16, 2016 in Berlin, Germany. But people who haven’t reserved one in advance won’t be able to be too picky about the color. Second, Apple announced yesterday that all iPhone 7 Plus units and iPhone 7 Jet Black units were sold out from pre-orders. Why, you ask? Well, one of the cameras is the traditional wide-angle camera that Apple has of course updated and improved, but the 7s will also come with a telephoto camera, which will improve the zoom function of the iPhone.

Despite the fact that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus look very similar to their predecessors, there are a number of major changes under the hood, particularly related to processor and camera performance. The company’s stock has surged 11 per cent over the past four trading sessions, since the release of the new iPhone models.
The 14-centimetre iPhone 7 Plus was already sold out globally because of online preorders. A spokesperson told CNNMoney “most of our retail stores have [the iPhone 7 Plus] going into [today]”.
Many customers who couldn’t get a device aired their complaints on Twitter.
An AT&T spokesperson has not yet responded to a request for comment.
When Apple said that iPhone 7 sales will be determined by supply and not demand it meant it.
To help raise the money for the phones, Kiblitsky said he sells off his old iPhone a month before the new product becomes available and relies on a backup model. He was confident his persistence would be rewarded: “I think my efforts will be assessed and I’ll get my phone”, he said.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are the most pre-ordered devices in T-Mobile’s US history, the company announced on Thursday.
Unsurprisingly, the same data shows the two most popular color choices have been black and jet black, replacing the now-dead space grey.
The battery case features a slight redesign in order to cover the gap where the headphone jack used to go but unfortunately, Apple didn’t make any strides to make the hump go away.
