    Am I right in saying the shiny black one isn't available for 599 with 32gb? Only 699 with 128gb.

    Went in store today to grab a watch but didn't have any in stock had a feel of the new jet black and it really is a lovely finish but an absolute fucker for collecting finger prints and feels like it could easily scratch, I think when mine turns up i'll take it into store and do a swap if they have the black one in.

    I think I'm settled on either Matt black or silver depending on what's available, leaning towards the black one. I'd prefer 128GB but will spring for 256 if that's all that's available. Half tempted to order one online to get in the queue and then cancel if I manage to source one in the meantime.

    Has anyone seen any info regarding the second wave and when it might drop ? All models are all but sold out now according to the tracker and I remember seeing during waiting for Apple Watch that the second wave was a week or two away. As soon as wave 2 hit there were plenty around as I had been on back order for a few weeks but actually could have picked one up in store a day after mine was delivered

    picked up a iPhone 7 Gold 128GB on Saturday in the Watford branch - went into the store for a genus bar appointment @ 9am and thought i would try my luck and see if i could reserve one whilst i waited - luckily they had the rose gold and gold available - decided to also get on the upgrade plan so that i can get the latest model once released.

    There has been a fair number of iPhone 7 around and available it seems, but there's a real drought where is comes to 7+. I wouldn't want to go to the smaller phone after 2 years with the 6+

    The missus has a 6 and it feels tiny alongside mine.

    Picked my missus up a 128gb rose gold 7 today. Click and collect the same day. Had a chat with them whilst waiting and the girl said she was checking the stock checker every morning at 6am too as she herself was after a 7+ and they don't get much info on what stock was arriving. She did say they had a fairly big delivery today but all 7's.

    The missus got a new iPhone and I got a strap for my Apple watch ! Called her a bitch all the way home lol.

    Has any one had a proper play with the 7+ camera yet? I was having a look in store the other day and while it looks good I didn't get a real sense of a massive improvement over my 6. I'll probably stick with this for at least another 12 months, I'm just not inspired by these handsets at the moment.

    Over your 6 there will be quite a big leap, 12mp v 8mp wider aperture and 4k video recording. Its the 6s/6splus where there isn't too much performance however I've tried mine a couple of times and I'm personally loving the camera, especially the portrait mode on the 7plus with the 10.1 beta. Here are some pics I've taken.

    You're right, they're pretty good! I really like the portrait mode.

    Is the portrait mode only in the beta ? I read somewhere that the bokeh / blurred background portrait effect was coming in a later update just presumed they hadn't perfected it yet.

    Cameras are definitely a decent improvement over my 6+ and the other two things I really love are the fingerprint scanner speed and also I adore the Taptic notifications rather than just a vibration. Little tap when deleting emails etc. A small thing but I like it !

    I have been searching the apple inventory for a series 2 watch the last few days. Was advised to check this morning suggesting a new delivery was being made but I'm struggling to find any s2's in stock anywhere under about £700. I think I would like stainless this time so don't mind up to around £500 but don't want to go too bonkers. I think the stainless one with pearl woven strap looks particularly nice but I'm pretty flexible (as long as it's 42mm).

    The hunt for that continues - I'm very happy with my iPhone 7+ though i definitely think it's enough of an upgrade over my 6 to warrant it.

    Cheers,

    Malty
