Looks like someone ordered an iPhone 7 and is prepping for its arrival.

Looks like demand for the 7 is less. There is availability to reserve online a 7 jet black 128gb at the local store (technically I was unable to because I have a business account).

Maybe not...reported sales numbers look good.

We got something like $200 for a 5s just to upgrade to a 6s (for my daughter, who wanted a Rose Gold 6s over a 7).

If Verizon stores are giving a 200 dollar credit for 5s to iPhone 7 on 2 yr subsidized plans I may have get a free iPhone 7.

We're new customers, so that might be part of it.

with a two year contract, almost anyone can get one for free now with a trade in of a iphone 6 or up.. there is a 5/5s cost of about 200$ but pretty much anyone can now get a free iphone 7 with 24 month lock in, (with 350$ ETF)

Its the new subsidy. Makes sense for the carriers, but needs to be watched and understood closely by analysts and carriers as the iphone 8 will be the real revolutionary device and by next year nearly 2 in 3 customers will be on a 2.5+ year old device.

Renewed Sprint's iPhone Forever lease. 22/mos and a 128gb Matte Black is ordered. Assume will be waiting up to a month for it to actually arrive.

Received my 7 in black today. Phone is quite sexy.

Oh Grados's are very nice. Thumbs up for knowing your stuff. My first pair of Grados's were in 2006 with some SR60, then i climbed up to some SR80 and then i repurchased another pair of SR60 and SR80.

I have been a bit away from the audiophile scene but regard my experience with Grado fondly.

Friend's iPhone 7 Plus on AT&T wouldn't connect to any towers for a few hours. Went to Apple Store. They tried to restore it. It bricked.

And they don't have anymore currently... lulz

Looks like this phone has an issue with this weird hissing sound

Is the Jet Black finish similar to the 3G/3Gs?

It appears to look that way, no?

Yes, looks and feels exactly like that, save that all the buttons are now gloss black as well.

The finish strikes me a ridiculously fragile. The two models I have seen [each store is given only a single iPhone 7 in gloss black for display] were already all beat to hell after just two days of being on display. I have to think that the black will also rub off the buttons very quickly under normal use.

I suppose that if you are going to put the phone in a full case that won't matter as much, but then why get the gloss black in the first place?

I like the current grey, but not the white bezel face they paired it with. I prefer a streamlined front look and don't care for the white front vs the seamless look with the two black models.
