We typically see Apple Stores with the best stock in colors and storage options, and you can normally reserve a new iPhone for pickup.

Best Buy will likely offer iPhone 7 release date sales, but some stores may not have the full selection of colors and storage sizes on hand on day one.

Walmart often delivers the iPhone in limited storage options on the release date, Expect to see the Walmart iPhone 7 release date offering include the base 32GB storage option on select carriers.

iPhone 7 Deals

You will need to wait for massive iPhone 7 deals, unless you want to switch carriers. Most carriers are still offering impressive bonuses if you switch from one carrier to another.

We will see more iPhone 7 deals later this year around Black Friday. If you want to save, you should wait a few months and you could see up to $100 off the iPhone 7 during Black Friday.
