Starting yesterday, Orange allows pre-ordering iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus through this page, the two terminals being available in fairly large quantities at the operator. Orange is a gold partner of the Apple company, so it benefits from special attention and the largest stocks of terminals in Romania, which gives it an advantage over the competition.
Those from Orange started taking pre-orders for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus yesterday, specifying that they are going to initiate deliveries from September 17, for some. This will not happen and those from Orange will not start delivering iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus before September 23, so do not have any illusions from this point of view.
Well, theoretically Orange will start delivering iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus from September 23rd within the limits of available stocks, and orders made in the first hours will be delivered that day. Orders placed after the first 3-4 hours will most likely be delivered at a later date, i.e. 1 or 2 weeks after September 23, due to low stocks.
When the pre-ordered iPhone 7 from Orange is delivered
Considering the status that Orange has in the list of Apple's partners, I am convinced that they will honor all the orders for which they have given a delivery date of September 23, if they receive the ordered lots. If Apple will not deliver everything that was requested, then it remains to be seen how the operator's orders will be honored.
Orange and eMAG most likely had the largest stocks of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus terminals offered by Apple, considering the large number of sales. In this idea, I think that they will honor most of the pre-orders starting with September 23, but next week we will find out if the dates are respected.
