Delivery expectations for iPhone 7?

[bexinthecity]

So when I placed my preorder (and paid off my refresh) this morning I saw that the estimate for the phone delivery would be up to 2 weeks for the Rose Gold plus 256GB (the one I ordered) but now when I go to the store to check whether I picked the right colour (the black really does look nice but I've decided I was right to go for Rose Gold) it says orders will be delivered on the 16th ... so those who preordered this morning have to wait 2 weeks but those who preorder right now don't? I'm confused :Z

6 weeks ? Yikes ! i have still to order mine so doesn't bode well for me does it !

during the upgrade process at 8am the o2 website crashed and the money was requested by o2 but the order wasn't placed. I've yet to get the money back even after being assured it would be 24hrs its now 30+hrs and counting i don't expect it to appear until next week now. I have sent a complaint to o2 see what they have to say about the absymal service they offer their customers no reply as yet but again i don't expect a reply until next week now.

What model/capacity/colour did you go for? I got my confirmation email at 8:17am, and no dates are mentioned on it either. I don't think it's a cause for concern though, as I say it I didn't have a delivery date on the confirmation emails for either of the last 2 iPhones I preordered from O2, and they both came on release date.

This is my 5th iPhone on o2, my 6s initial date was 6-8 weeks. But everyone has arrived on launch day. Apple keep the amount they are sending to vendors very close to their chest.

I ordered 2 (one for my fiance and one for me) Her 7 Gold 128GB will be delivered on release day. I got a 256GB Black which i have been given a pickup date instore for a week later. Yet when i look online at the 256GB  Black it is showing as having release day availability. 

Will O2 move my order up to reflect this? Or do you think I'll still have to wait the extra week?

Well the money has fully gone from my bank account so let's hope that means mine is coming on friday

There's a good chance the date will move, I've moved from 8 weeks to release day delivery during the week between order and delivery, Apple does the whole low stock thing to create a bit of drama and attention I think!

This happened to me when I upgraded to the 5s or 6 I can't remember.

The system crashed at payment so O2 took my payment but didn't create the order. My dealings with O2 over the matter were nothing but brilliant. In the end I got the phone on release day and they credited me back the £300 I had paid my Phone Plan off so I could upgrade great gesture 👍🏼
