The stealth black is calling out to me. Definitely going for that tonight.

Don't plan on upgrading until the 8 after this. My 128 6s is still gucci.

Just fyi for anybody wanting the jet black.  I re-read what Apple said and saw an article about the jet black.  Technically, they were saying that it isn't that the jet black is more scratch prone.  They're all scratch prone the same.  The difference is that since the jet black has the glossy finish that the scratches on a jet black are more visible than the other iphones.  

With that being said, i'm still goin jet black raw

Same approach goes for me when buying a car.

I NEVER have and won't buy a black colored car for this reason alone.

Black with a glossy finish just really shows scratches and scuffs and dirt easily. No way around it period.

good point with the car analogy.  never thought about it like that

Phones are basically subscription based nowadays
I never bought a new gen phone before and I always bought last gen phones to catch the steep sell prices
but I will get the 7 simply because of the tmobile promotion
Ive been using tmobile for over a decade so being locked in for another 2 years is no problem for me
My 6+ battery is pretty much shot and the 1gb ram isnt cutting it

If your financing through Apple you have to go in the store. Don't think you can pre order

If you own the current phone you have you don't have to go to the store to pick it up. Picking up at the store is only for people that are doing the 12 month upgrade through the Apple upgrade program. They need to see the phone you're turning in to make sure its in working condition and not all ****** up.

So I am going to preorder tnite. I want the 7+ in matte black.

Kinda pumped because this is my first iPhone ever. Always been a Android guy.

So the better way is to preorder through the apple store?

And I am doing the lease thing now and the Note 4 is paid and I am going to do the lease again since my job pays for my phone lol. I pay the tax when I preorder right?

 

[cragmatic]

I was hating hardcore on the lack of a 3.5 Jack, but I'm
Gonna try to preorder tonight too lol

 

[townbidness]

Man Apple.com only offering 2 year price or full amount for Verizon [emoji]128528[/emoji]. I'm coo off paying $40 a month just to have the phone activated on a 2 year contract.

 

[iceman3699]

Anyone know if you can pre-order more than one phone? Looking to get a couple for my family.

 

[townbidness]

Hey guys I don't really remember how it went down last time I got my 6+ at Apple. Do you pay at pick up? Or when pre order

 

[OBAMA]

It's the same ****. Damn

 

[bossplaya0625]

How long does pre ordering last?

 

[JonathanLegend]

How long does pre ordering last?

Till release day I believe..but the longer you wait the more chances of your phone being back ordered

 

[Bert.]

There is absolutely nothing to flex about. 99% of people are leasing these phones and there are upgrade every year programs lol.
Paying monthly to lease a phone. You flexing ya trade in for the current phone for what? You not dropping between $800-$1300 every year.

So damn true

 

[Bert.]

Called into t mobile they say you have to change to their t mobile one plan. Sucks I have unlimited data on my simple choice plan and am not going to give that up.
Edit
Nvm I'm hearing mixed things saying I have to switch plans others saying I don't.

It's all about the reps but it's been said directly from Tmobile via telephone and even on their own Twitter

You do NOT have to change your plan.

Now will people run into the issue of not copping because a rep or website is forcing a change? Yes.

Which is why I'm trying to figure out the best way without screwing up my crap so I might just hold out til this time tomorrow evening

 

[jkballer5]

Anyone think I'll have a problem buying the new Apple Watch waiting a few days after release?

If all the lines are eligible for upgrade you should have no problems

 

[cruzzz]

Can you pre-order at AT&T and pay full price?

 

[thenewjs23]

So you need an iphone to use the apple store app? I figured i could get it on my mac.

 

[krushin]

Gonna try on iPhone and Mac

 

[had pants]

Matte or Jet, which to flex...

 

[louytromps]

I am an existing AT&T customer.

I am going with the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program. I will be selecting the 128GB due to the fact I will upgrading yearly now.

Before I would upgrade every 2 years since AT&T would offer discounted prices on the iPhones.

What's everyone else rolling with?
