A spokesperson told CNNMoney “most of our retail stores have [the iPhone 7 Plus] going into [today]”. So walk in customers might be out of luck and a new shipment of the iPhone 7 Plus in jet black isn’t expected until November.

Reuters noted that the gadgets, which only hit the shelves on Friday, can no longer purchase the phones from Apple Stores, but can still continue to place orders for their desired models as they wish, online.
Both devices bring a raft of changes and improvements that Apple hopes will make them the most revolutionary yet and while we’ll be exploring them all in a lot more detail, it’s that time of year again – it’s DROP TEST TIME! For an extra $120, you get that awesome new camera, a Full HD display and better battery life. Consumers can still order the phone online or through their wireless carrier. “The atmosphere is awesome and the response is huge”, said Andrews who works at Apple Store at Garden City. Since all of the iPhone 7 plus models are sold out everywhere, it is quite possible that Apple did not see this popularity surge coming either.
The iPhone 7 seems to reversed the gap.
An AT&T spokesperson has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Earlier this week, both T-Mobile and Sprint reported that pre-orders for the new phone were up almost four times from the previous two models. As usual, Apple leaves some details regarding the internals of its new devices a secret, but iFixit is able to figure out some of those secrets with its teardowns… The new phone comes in two sizes, one with a 4.7 inch display, the other with a 5.5 inch display. “It was 100 percent worth it”, said Marcus Barsoum, a 16-year-old “diehard Apple fan” who spent two nights camped outside the Sydney store. He was confident his persistence would be rewarded: “I think my efforts will be assessed and I’ll get my phone”, he said.
Singh opted not to go for a jet black version because he said he’d heard it’s easy to get finger smudges on them. He emerged with a matte black iPhone 7, although he had wanted a larger 7 plus in jet black.

Regarding the headphone jack removal, the Taptic Engine is taking up the majority of the space where the connectivity was housed, but interestingly there’s a simple plastic bumper where the actual cutout used to be.
