The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus finally arrived this week and Mashable was there to cover the launches all around the world. Though excitement for the phones was greater than expected, many fans were unhappy that Apple had sold out of the 7 Plus in all colors and the jet black for both models.

On this week's MashTalk, Mashable Tech Editor Pete Pachal joins me and special guest, business reporter Kerry Flynn, to talk about the 7 Plus shortages, what's new in iOS 10 and the awesomeness/scariness of hailing and going for a ride in one of Uber's new self-driving cars in Pittsburgh.

So, obviously the 7 Plus and jet black shortages rubbed a lot of line-waiters the wrong way. You would think that Apple, which has been producing iPhones for almost ten years and has made over a billion of them would have this all down to a science. Like that they would be able to have enough supply on launch day to meet the always overwhelming demand. So what gives?
