32GB will get you by, the only thing is that if you like to take photos, you will be served well by using a cloud backup solution (like Google Photos) to keep your phone storage as clean as possible. I think you'll be fine with the 32GB, but you would be more comfortable with the 128 without really needing to worry about space.

My ship date is showing like the 25th right now. I'm going to go to the TMo store on Friday to do the trade in for my wife's phone. If it hasn't shipped by then I'm just gonna cancel it and buy while I'm there. We'll see how it goes.
probably depends on where you are. It's going to be tough. Your best bet are going to be the big flagship stores of the carriers and the Apple Stores I guess. But even then....probably not
what did you think?

Will 6S+ cases fit the 7+?
Probably not, different lens shape.
Got a question for anyone has done the iPhone Upgrade Program last year. Did it hurt your credit score much? I assume the initial credit check is a hard pull, wondering how many points that will drop from your credit score and when/if it has recovered.
I can afford to buy the phone outright but this upgrade program (and getting the newest phone every year) just seems more convenient. But just want to know if there's any major downsides in terms of credit.

I signed up this year and it was definitely a hard pull. Not the end of the world. Was on equifax for me and did not drop my fico at all

Hard pulls shouldn't effect things too much unless your credit is already a problem, and it should only matter for about 6 months.
it was nice and shiny and fingerprinty. airpods looked like he had cigarettes in his ears
aside from the lens shape which was already mentioned, the cameras on the 7 and 7+ are not in the same place as the cameras on the 6s and 6s+

it's pushing it if you take a lot of photos/store lots of music locally/download lots of apps for 2 years. If you upgrade every year it's probably fine, or if you don't really do those things.
Sounds good, thanks.

It's a hard pull every year, should you choose to upgrade when you can

I'm wondering is the extra gb of ram is reserved specifically for the camera by the OS. I'm just tired of playing a game, checking a website and finding my game restarted. Or any activity when I'm multitasking.

yeah i will probably end up swapping out the 32GB for 128. i might skip the 7S unless tmobile runs a similar deal again.
There's no way the camera needs an entire GB all to itself 100% of the time.
My take: 2GB -> 3GB will probably be noticeable if you're a super heavy user, but I don't think its a big enough difference to buy the Plus JUST for the amount of ram.
OMG you would think that a company like Apple, which has something like 8 billion dollars in cash reserves, would invest in a somewhat competent call system. I was on hold with them for 3 HOURS and got disconnected. I just need to change my method of payment with them because my stupid bank won't let the charge go through because they think it was fraudulent. So frustrating.
they're likely getting more calls than any company in the world ever every 10 minutes right now. they have 200 billion in cash reserves btw

Got my order bumped up by calling apple. Was originally sept 26th - oct 3rd. Best part is they did it for FREE!
They refused to do anything like that for me today and I'm still salty as fuck about it. Whole preorder process through Apple was a shitshow for me this year. Wouldn't change my shipping address either since for some stupid reason it only ships to the billing address tied to your AT&T account. Ugh. Might just go around town Friday and see what I can find.

So how i should I tranfer all my files(apps,music,etc,contacts,etc) to my iphone7 plus when it comes out ? Do I use ICloud first then restore my newly created backup ? Or vice versa ?
You can call them and ask for expedited shipping and if you get the right representative they'll do it for $6. I received it for free due to being put on hold for several hours.

Backups are the easiest way. It includes everything but media (synced music/movies/tv shows from iTunes) as those have to originate from the source computer

iCloud should do mostly everything except for music and apps iirc.
Music is always the annoying part, I'm in the process of organizing my music on my computer so that the transfer will be easier.
Thought this was funny. Gruber says "iPhone 7 (and probably 6S too) will be the most powerful computing hardware any Nintendo game has ever run on.". Wonder if that will remain true once the NX is out... http://daringfireball.net
My brother works for them in the call center and he says it's absolutely insane. There are enough calls in the queue to last a week at 24/7 and Apple is offering them insane over time. They try but it's just that popular.
How it was? I'm planning to trade in mine but my 7+ is arriving in October. Can I trade in mine right know? Did they said anything about the end date? What did you need to bring apart from the iPhone to do trade in? Did they ask you for your license( I lost mine yesterday lol)?

You can go in and trade it in right now? I ordered mine today and they didn't ask for it. I'm a bit worried about mine because it says I won't get mine until next month and I don't know if they'll honor the promotion when mine ships.

Yes they ask for your license. They said there is no end date for the promotion at the moment, but I was signed up for the promotion today, and to just bring my phone in when the new one arrives at the store.

What did you say?
Edit: Saw above.
Apple would be very offended to find out you think they only have 8 billion dollars in cash reserves
is it just the apple store service that sucks? because the last time I had to call apple about something (buying applecare because their website doesn't work), I just hung up when put on hold and they called me back 30 minutes later. I know you can schedule calls on getsupport.apple.com for other issues too
If you use any kind of camera upload app (Dropbox, Google Photos etc.) 32GB is more than enough. 16 was pretty much terrible, but between streaming music (even with local caching) and syncing your photos to the cloud (and keeping local clean) -- you should have no issues with 32. Depends on your usage though, some people like to keep everything on their phone.
They told me I had to wait until I got my new phone to trade in my old one. I got a 32gb matte black 7+, est. ship date is like October 10 or something lol.

I ordered my phone when the preorders went live on Friday through Verizon's website. Is it normal for the order status to still not show up? It currently says: "Your order is currently being processed. Please check back later."
Will it say that up until it's time to ship, or should that status have been updated by now?

Are you happytune9 on Reddit? I think I see your thread.
Mine is exactly the same (ordered in the morning on Friday). I have an expected ship date in my e-mail confirmation, but my order shows the same as yours on the site.
Jet Black looks wonderful, but I decided to go with Black just in case.
