Really get pissed off seeing all these posts and threads on "returning my iPhone 6+" "Too big, returning it" etc.

I've been trying to get my hands on a 6+ and NONE exist in upstate NY, while every version of the 6 can be easily acquired in 10 mins. If all these damn people weren't buying it and returning it, maybe the ones who REALLY want it, could find one???

It's frustrating, luckily for me I finally got my hands on one, going to pick it up tomorrow. The thing to keep in mind is that MacRumors doesn't make up everyone on the hunt for one of these things, or even the majority, the majority of people buying iPhones probably don't look at or post on any website about it whatsoever.

I don't get it. If they were NOT returning phones, it still wouldn't help you any. So some folks realize that a product wouldn't serve them as well as they thought and they are opting for something else. How is that so outrageous??

No, they didn't need to buy it to begin with. They should have waited, tested it in store and see if it was too big. How is that so outrageous?

Your own impatience is the only thing making it 'outrageous' and 'unbearable'.

It's a phone. You're not a victim.

it was your mistake not to pre order it. Look.. We had to stay up until 3am in the morning to buy it. What did you do back then? Were you having a nice sleep?

Yeah geez. What makes you so entitled? You forgot to preorder. Why should anyone hold the door open for you? People are entitled to change their mind. Perhaps you should be listening to them as Im sure many were sure they'd be happy with a Plus before they had one.

Wouldn't it be funny if you returned your 6+ for obvious reasons. Just sayin'.

I've been trying to get my hands on a 6+ and NONE exist in upstate NY

If you give me a zip code, carrier version, color, and storage size I might be able to find one for you.

People have choices. These will just end up being repair replacement devices and Apple needs to make them from the get-go.

Just remember that YOU might also return yours when you finally get it.

Not me. I have had a chance to get used to a Galaxy Note. I tried the plus in store already and I thoroughly loooooove love LOVE its form factor. So awesome. I will definitely be keeping my 6 plus when it arrives.

That is a ridiculous claim.

Given the folks who actually got a 6 Plus had to stay awake/wake up early and go through Apple's hellish pre-order process or camp out at an Apple Store, it's fine by me. If they change their minds later and find the 6 Plus is not to their liking, then that's their prerogative. It doesn't change the fact that they expended effort in order to get the 6 Plus in the first place.

IMO apple should have put out demo units in stores prior to pre order and launch day so people could go into those knowing what they wanted and not make a decision on the spot. I was really torn between the two, did the cardboard cut outs and everything and pre ordered a 6 plus because I knew it was going to be more difficult to switch from a 6 to a plus than a plus to a 6 if need be. Also knew if I waited to play with them in the store i'd be SOL and in the same position you are in now:p

Entitled much? You missed the pre-order, you missed the day-after-launch restocking. I didn't pre-order but I walked into Apple store here in upstate NY this past Saturday and picked up 6+ (64gb, SG, ATT). So, it was readily available but you missed it. They had plenty in stock. I know why you can't find one... you are not even trying to look.

Oh, and my 6+ went right back to the store the next day. God it was awful to use. Exchanged it for 6.
