I have heard that the apple store app works very well and never crashes. I recommend having your billing info and shipping info put in before you buy though.
I am going to use the app, but will have the desktop site up as well just in case.

Thank you.
Also I'm a little surprised at their single phone payment plan with no interest.

Well that's the point, I think I'd like not to use a case this time. But I'll probably end up casing it anyways.

I probably should have done this before the store went down.
Piano and jet are the same thing
Too late for that; the store is down for maintenance at the moment.
Is the payment info on there the same payment info that's in iTunes for music and app purchases?

Sprint is doing the same thing as well. AT&T Being a dumb and requiring Direct TV service and a port-in on the offer.Seems like Verizon is doing the same trade in deal as T-Mobile

You can do it on the iTunes store on your computer or in the iTunes setting on your phone. I thought I was screwed, but remembered you can do that.

My bad, sorry. Looked more matte at that angle. Still, those scratches are crazy. If they're so bad that Apple had to say "if scratches bother you, wrap it up" on their site, it's pretty bad. What's the point of getting that finish if you have to case it.

Desktop website has to serve both the pages themselves and hit the backend for info. App just needs to request/send data to/from the backend and translate it into the UI already built into the app. It's inherently more efficient/faster.
It looks most visually different from the iPhone 6. And it looks great in renders. That's why it exists and why there's a matte black as well, since that's the black you should actually buy. I honestly think that's why they made two black versions.
you may be onto something there

Verizon's site says I'm eligible to upgrade on 9/19 because that's when I bought my iPhone 6 when it first came out in 2014. So am I going to be able to upgrade or am I screwed? This is like 3 days earlier than this time in 2014.
It's AT&T...they're completely ignorant.

Wow, I still want one but that's crazy. Will definitely have to get a silicone case or something if I actually pick mine up.

I just saw John Gruber made a post about Black vs. Jet Black. He was there at the press event and hands-on with them. His takeaway is:
My gut feeling from my time in the hands-on area is that in the real world, the black iPhone 7 looks better, and the jet black iPhone 7 feels better. I say in the real world because in the perfect vacuum of a retail display or photo studio, the jet black iPhone looks like the most stunning device Ive ever seen. Theres no way its going to look like that in the real world. But I think its going to feel great in your hand even when its smudged with fingerprints.

If any of you guys have Bank of America and are getting AT&T, there's a $75 cash back bonus deal going on.

Why aren't they offering the $650 credit as a regular offer? Makes no sense.

Man, I'm like 95% on the Jet Black.
But the Silver is also so clean. Sigh.

Same color option I'm picking! I am so excited!

I think I'll be good with the Jett black even though I don't use cases, I tend to keep my phone face down on the screen. Also I'm planning on doing AT&T Next, so I'll be swapping it for an iPhone 7S/8 next year.

face down with no case? doesn't that scratch the actual screen??
I would, but I know I'd regret it down the road so I'll go matte instead.Man, I'm like 95% on the Jet Black.

yes you can. it functions exactly the same as the old home button just without an actual click
From what I understand of the T-mobile deal, it's not part of any jump on demand type thing. It's simply they will break the payments down over 24 months, then credit you each month's cost as part of your bill. But you can't trade it in after a year and roll the payments into a new phone or anything like that (unless I guess you pay off the phone).
i would imagine verizon is similar.
I have my JoD phone and we have an older 6 that my wife uses. I'm just going to use my regular JoD upgrade thing and I'm going to use the free trade in for my wife. She doesn't care about upgrading every year so she'd be fine with the 24 month commitment.
I have a feeling that the Jet black will get scratched through an Apple case..Apple lines their cases with a material that keeps dirt/dust from building up too easily but there is still quite a bit of dust in my iP6 case that would probably cause scratches on a glossy phone..

Getting the Jet Black because it's potentially the rarest of the colors seems kind of dumb, but I can't resist.
Hm I don't see that $75 cash back bonus deal for att under my BoA account...
Right so they give you payments of 27$ a month for 2 years. So is there just no way to upgrade after a year? Or maybe they just take away the discounts? Meaning you sold your phone for 325$, which isn't bad either.

I have a silver iPhone 6, which looks incredibly similar, and can assure you I regret not getting black every single day
Ars has a pic of a 6s side by side with a 7.
i think the silver/white combo on iphones is pretty clean, but i can't pass up the first actual 'black' iphone in a while.
not sure. I mean, if i had to guess, it's not like they won't have some sort of option a year from now for people that want to turn in their 7 from the trade in promotion, but who knows.

That's a space grey 6S. You can tell by the black headphone jack and dark camera ring. It's white/silver on the silver model.
oh damn you're right. that angle gets me every time lol

Yeah, those micro scratches will drive me nuts. No jet black for me, I'll stick with silver and put a case over it.
Something Steve Jobs would have had the nuts to get rid of during the iPhone 5.

Is this for new verizon wireless customers only or can existing customer get a free iphone?
