Tomorrow, when the iPhone 7 launches for US customers at the Apple Store and other outlets, don’t expect to find the wonderful new iPhone 7 Plus (the one with the dual lense camera) or the new Jet Black version of the iPhone.

Following CEO Tim Cook’s unveiling of the new iPhone on September 7, Apple’s price of shares dipped five percent in the two days, but the tech giant has rebounded from a low of 102.53 on September 12 with three consecutive days of gains.
Unfortunately it seems that if you thought that third-party retailers could help, don’t add Best Buy to that list.
In India, the devices will hit the store on October 7 with pre-orders already in progress.
While most of us won’t be repairing our own Apple device if something goes awry, iFixit notes that it’ll be even trickier to do so this year. I’m happy personally to get the matt black 7, like I’m cool with that but I’m still very sad that I’m not going to get a jet black of any phone.
Suffice it to say, the iPhone 7 may very well set a new weekend sales record, though as we covered earlier, Apple won’t be releasing specific sales figures this year.
On a rainy London morning, it appears only a small handful of Apple fans gathered at the Covent Garden store.
The company said in a statement that “limited quantities” of silver, gold, rose gold and matte black iPhone 7s would be available at retail stores for walk-in purchases. People hoping to walk into an Apple store and leave with an iPhone 7 shouldn’t get their hopes up.
One of the new features of the iPhone 7 is the headphone jack-less design.
Every year, the initial iPhone sales are nearly ceremonial in nature, with people flocking to the Apple stores days before the sale begins. However, if you are not willing to compromise your choice of the Jet Black variant of iPhone 7, you will have to wait either for five to six weeks for iPhone 7 or until November in the case of iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 Plus, on the other hand, comes with a price tag of Rs. 72,000 for 32GB storage option.
