Got it, it's fantastic. The size is terrific.

AT&T, however still sucks hard. Started the activation at 3:30 PM MDT. Still not activated. When I started the activation it deactivated my 5.

I can receive inbound iMessages, but can't send anything out.

Called AT&T about an hour ago.

"It can take up to four hours for the activation process to complete. Please continue to use your old device in the meanwhile."

"I told you that the old device deactivated as soon as I started the activation process."

"There is nothing I can do to speed this up for you sir."

Not sure if any of you saw my post about AT&T's self congratulatory statements about the launch on my conference call today.

They are the worst.

Rebooted the phone and it is connected now - nice if they would have mentioned that possibility when I spoke to them.

Now that all of us are aware that the 6+ can bend in yr pocket it is very rare and highly unlikely. Apple said 9 out of the millions have bent. That % is so small their is nothing to worry about. Unless you work construction or do something strenuous I think we are all good...

Just don't put it in your back pocket and sit on it.
 
Heh, for those of us that cancelled our orders, make sure att does not charge you 2 upgrade fees. They did to me, one for the original order and one for the apple store purchase, after a phone call and online chat both fees were dropped.
 
I am typing on my Gold 16gb right now that was delivered earlier today and now the 16gb SG has changed to processing. Can't wait to finally get shipping info.
 
IT HAS SHIPPED!
Just checked my email and I got an email from att @ 8:03( just saw it now) talking about a change with my account ( got nervous) followed the link it took me to my account ( weird). Then not even a minute later got a email from ups with a tracking number. At first I thought it was the case I ordered but then I followed the tracking number and it had att wireless on the my choice app. So it will arrive tomorrow. Hope everyone that hasn't seen a change in status gets one soon and get a tracking number.
 
How many folks bought a case? Not usually a case kinda person but bought the Apple leather case because of how the camera protrudes.
 
Got my tracking number around 8:30 PM
Actually got the email about my AT&T plan first then went to check status.

So timeline:

Ordered around 9/12 5 AM EST
Got email confirmation 9 AM EST 9/12
Got two texts on Saturday morning 9/13
Got in the 10/2-10/13 date
On 9/25 Through 877 number got moved from back ordered to in progress somewhere between 4:30 AM and 8:15 AM
Got tracking number at 8:30 PM
Delivery supposedly on 9/26

Whew!
To those still awaiting orders stay patient and best of luck. Soon we will all forget the pain of these past weeks while we are enjoying out new gadgets.
 
Seems like a bunch of space gray shipped out today.

I could order a phone today and have the same estimated ship time that I have now even though I preordered. So frustrating. Hoping for some luck in the at&t lottery!! First come first serve luck to anyone who ordered before me! (Also posted in the regular preorder forum)
 
Has anybody gotten their iPhone Plus shipped through USPS. My premier website shows FedEx tracking, when I click status FedEx has no information. I put the tracking number online and it is USPS picked up from Fort Worth, TX.
Yeah cause we in PR are getting them trough USPS
 
Got my 6+ 64gb sg today. Well worth the wait. Not trying to brag. Just wanted to say hold in there. It is coming soon.

Word of advice. Do not follow the activation instructions that comes with your phone. I have read about it taking hours to activate them and that is crazy. Just call 611 from your old phone. It will recognize that you just upgraded and ask if you are ready to activate. Hit 1 to say yes, enter phone #, zip, and lat 4 of your social. It will tell you to turn off the new phone, wait 5 minutes and when you turn it back on you will be good to go.

ENJOY!!!

Good to know. Thanks:confused:
 
Got mine today around 1pm....love it. All the complaints about it being too big, I'm not seeing it. Sure, takes some getting used to, but I'm already able to text and maneuver with one hand.
 
Finally shipped

Placed order at 2:21am CDT. Premier.

Order accepted after 9am CDT.

Estimated 10/23 - 11/1

Changed to 10/2 - 10/13 (or something like that)

877 number was "backorder status"

877 changed to "processing" this morning (not sure exactly when).

877 was still processing at 4pm CDT.

877 changed to shipped at 5:30pm CDT.

Will be here tomorrow by 5pm.
 
It seems like they are shipping them out at an even faster rate now. I bet by the end of next week, some of the 10/12-10/23 people will start having their phones shipped.

As others have said in this thread, unless you know for certain you can get one tomorrow or in the coming days, keep your preorder. It will be well worth the wait!
