Apple Inc. spokesman Trudy Muller confirmed that the first batch of the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus devices in all five colour variants have already been exhausted since the pre-order period commenced Sep. 9. The pre-orders seemed to be closed for now and customers are now getting ready to line up at retail stores including Apple Stores where the gadget will arrive on 16 September.

Due to time zone differences, Apple customers in Australia and New Zealand are beginning to receive their iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus’.

The new iPhone 7 Smart Battery Case boasts a 2365mAh battery, shows The Wirecutter’s Nick Guy. T-Mobile said pre-orders rose almost four times compared with its next most popular iPhone.

If nothing but one of the sold-out, super-popular, this-is-what-the-cool-kids-are-buying models will do, you might be better off looking at the retailers, such as Carphone Warehouse and the like.

Bajarin said Apple could sell 75 million to 76 million iPhones in the December quarter, which would be year-over-year growth, but supply constraints could prevent that. The latest Plus models score a bit higher here, but even Apple’s larger phones can’t compete with the Samsung Galaxy S7 (534 PPI) or LG G4 (538 PPI). As Hajek himself said, “A black gloss iPhone but no black Airpods?”

Samsung’s exploding phones have provided Apple with a golden opportunity to boost its sales numbers.

Apple’s already struggling with the supplies of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, as the initial batch of the smartphones are already sold out.

Bandukia, who has been saving for the phone since February, said he thinks the new features are innovative. Apple says that only the Jet Black color is now out of stock, with a 3-5 weeks estimated waiting period.
