Called into tmobile to use my JOD. Couldnt get the order placed because the system was having problems. Rep told me to call back in 30 min. Called in a second time and the system was still down and rep said she would call me back. Waited a little while and got a call back stating the system was still down and she will contact me again when she is able to place the order. She says I wont lose my place in line but I dont believe that. Baffles me how every year tmobile manages to screw it up.

How much are you over? You have 90 days to add AppleCare to a device...
haha, thanks for the advice, but he just emailed, it's not the total cost of phones, but the fact that a colleague in middle management used the card for the Hotel stay of 5 colleagues that went on a business trip to Germany.
BUT, the lead of the purchasing department has another card, he'll be using that one. All is well!
I want that phone before NYCC!
edit: aaaaaand we're good. "Shipping Sept. 28-30"

I called back, T-Mobile tried to convince me to give up on the order, suggesting I wait until the morning. Crazy thing is, they are just using a web browser themselves to make the order internally (my rep tried switching from IE to Chrome).
Edit: She gave up - she said she talked to people, and they said the system would be down for two hours or so

Can’t stump the diablos
The way T-Mobile works I'm surprised they are using web browsers for their orders instead of taping paper to hamsters.

I finally picked up the 7plus 128 instead of the 7
At first like previous iPhone t was supposed to be just
-better screen (1080p)
-better battery
But it's now confirmed to have
-3gb ram
-better camera
I like the 7 size better but it's too many advantages on the Plus this time ... And stereo speaker should be a marvel watching Netflix on the bigger screen

T-Mobile said they're gonna have to call me back because the system is down :/
That's how I got my 6 plus, there were only three people in line.

Is there anything I'm misinterpreting for the Verizon trade in deal?
$650 in credit seems to be a bit more than what I can sell my 6s+ to another person. I'm wondering if there's some sort of rip off trick in the fine print, or another deal that's better somehow.

For anyone in the UK thinking of getting in on the upgrade program, I have been looking into sim only deals, and the best place I could find was Virgin.
It runs off the EE network so it should have pretty good signal. Although if you would rather be with another network, chances are most will probably price match this. I spoke to Vodafone and they said they would do 2gb data, unlimited texts and minutes, 500minutes roaming for £10.80 (although this is a 12 month contract, not a rolling 30 day one).

I called Tmobile to upgrade using the jump program but they said their systems were down. They put my order through as a regular upgrade so I wouldn't lose my place in line. Then they said on Monday they would call me to switch it back to jump. Right now they are trying to charge me around $400 to do this upgrade (they don't charge you until the phone ships) but there's no way I'm going to go through with this if that's what I actually have to pay once they switch it back to jump. Should be much cheaper....hopefully

"2500 minutes, unlimited texts" screw that noise.
make it 200 minutes, 200 texts and 4 gigs of data.
Austria is currently blessed with a high-competition mobile landscape. Cheapest plans are currently 3 gigs of LTE data, 1000 (minutes or texts) for just € 9,90 / month - no contract.

Locked in my iPhone 7 Black 32gb at around 8:05am, delivery set for 16th Sept. I accidentally ordered 2 but I managed to get it changed to 1 by speaking to someone on the live chat for about 40 minutes lol.
I was going to leave it and return the spare but I didn't wanna take away someone else's pre-order because of my own stupidity.

I like it, but i'm really fond of cases with clear backs. I like some of the caseology ones along those lines. My current 6S+ case is from them, the skyfall. I'll probably end up getting a 7 Skyfall cause it's a great balance of features without adding much bulk.

In the UK you have to go in store to do it, dunno about US.
Just checked out the "waterfall" (what they seem to be calling 7Plus Skyfall) caseology case for 7Plus looks sexy too might order two. How is the protection on the case don't need it to be super hardcore but pretty decent protection would be nice.

When I pre-ordered, shipping was 3 weeks out but I did in-store pick up and they still had stock for sept 16.
Damn that looks like some hardcore protection, Deku!
It is, and it's also very slim and low weight.

That brown Apple leather case with the white iPhone looks nice but any recommendations for a nice case that also have a front cover for the screen?
I feel like I'm missing something on the Apple website. Is there any way to make an appointment to start the Apple upgrade program? I checked the Apple Store app too and can't find anything. Maybe it's best to wait a few days.
Trade up values for the 6s and 6s plus still aren't listed.

So no pre-orders for folks not with one of the 4 major carriers?
I settled on a basic, yet reputable Ultra Hybrid case from Spigen
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GIWGFMU/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Not flashy, just some basic protection from scratches & dents and some light drop protection.
I have never once dropped my phone, even though I'm constantly walking around with it in my hand (even with my hand dropped down to my side.) Although I did one time have my 6S+ in my pocket without a case and bumped into the corner of a desk which left a small dent on the back... after that is when I decided to stop going caseless.

If I am going to be on the iPhone Upgrade program, do I even need a case? If it is scratched and dented will they not allow me to trade it in.

My wife has one of these on her iPhone SE. Works really well, you can see the pink (sorry, Rose Gold) colour through it nicely and it's cheap (£6 on Amazon UK). it's flexible material too, so no risk of it scratching the phone at all.
A link to that confirmation that 7 Plus has 3 GB of ram?
After all the T-Mobile mess near the launch, I was able to wake up at 5am and still reserve one to be shipped on 9/15. Went with the 32gb Matte Black. I hardly use 30gb on my 128gb now, so it shouldn't be an issue. i even took to Twitter to voice my concerns and they were more than happy to help me with my order. So, +1 to them for being responsive.
They might be talking about this
http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/08/iphone-7-plus-3gb-ram/
But it's still not a solid confirmation just yet.

So I'm looking at this trade in offer from Sprint.
https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/221463
Has anyone gone through this yet? When does the trade-in show up? At checkout?
Edit: found it. Sprintbuyback.com for trade in.

Well, I might just get up and go around town next Friday and see if I can get a phone since I don't think my order for the 26-29 is gonna upgrade to release delivery. Don't really wanna do Apple Store, but that'd probably be my best bet for a jet black phone. Thinking I might try Target or the smaller AT&T shops for a matte black Plus if I'm feeling lazy. I've never missed an iPhone day 1 dammit.
