Apple devotees line up for their pre-ordered iPhone 7s

The introduction of the “force touch” technology into the home button is one of the few inventions on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Almost half (48 per cent) were found to upgrade their handsets every time a new iPhone comes out, while nearly a third (32 per cent) claimed their current device was coming to the end of its life.

If you’re looking at picking up an iPhone 7 Plus or the iPhone 7 in Jet Black, you’re going to have to wait a couple of weeks for Apple’s supply to catch up with demand.

Queues have already begun to appear outside Apple stores around the world ahead of the full launch on Friday morning, but Apple confirmed some versions of the phones would not be available to walk-in customers.

The Cupertino based company made it known that customers who walk into Apple Stores will not be able to pick up the sold out smartphones on site, but these Apple fans can continue to place their orders for their desired models online.

The latest gadget from Apple Inc was just released, but already, the initial quantities of the iPhone 7 Plus have already been sold out.

Apple announced that except for the jet-black model, all others models would be available in their stores. Apple has noted that it has sold through the entire launch stock of iPhone 7 Plus in all finishes, and the iPhone 7 in Jet Black.

The company says phones with the new, glossy black finish for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus won’t be on shelves in Apple stores on Friday. It would seem that Apple’s underestimation of demand in the past would teach management a lesson.

FURIOUS Apple fans have been complaining on Twitter about delays to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The company and the U.S. government issued a global recall – the largest ever for a smartphone – and Samsung has said it will be at least a few weeks before they put its flagship Note 7 back on sale. Those wait times could change.

Due to technical issues on Singtel’s website on Wednesday, customers could order the new iPhone only at 10am yesterday.

The jet-black iPhone models come only in the phone’s higher storage capacities, 128 gigabyte and 256 gigabyte.

'Limited quantities' of iPhone 7 available at retail stores, but that's not unusual
