iPhone 7 pre-orders open

Now available for pre-orders

Pre-orders for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have opened online. Many models of the phone are already in high demand, with pre-orders pushing back shipping dates on Apple’s website.

The handsets are due to start shipping on September 16, but the company's site listed the jet black iPhone 7 Plus as shipping in November just hours after orders opened, with other colours set to take 2-3 weeks. 

Before orders opened reports suggested that supply could be limited at launch, with the Nikkei Asian Review claiming that problems with faulty components could lead to the phone being sold out.
