Because technically AT&T isn't doing anything wrong. They gave us all estimated shipping dates. Nothing set in stone. Now if they promised they'd have it to us by a specific date and don't deliver then that's a newsworthy story.
Got a tip for us?

I completely understand this is not a promise (even though they keep telling me my shipping date has a promissory note for 10/2 to 10/13), and my only issue with ATT is their honesty in the matter. I have been given different answers to the same questions everyday. And the fact that Apple and ATT can't release a statement about the situation is poor business practice.

Oh and to make matter worse, severe weather hit North Texas today. Several power outages throughout the area. I doubt any movement will happen tomorrow.
There's been horrible weather in Missouri the past 24 hours with horrible flooding so I'm assuming the same on movement here.
I'm Still on backorder, has any one gotten their tracking info today? I'm starting to think that the 6+ is just a myth...,,,
Lead Times
Here's a slick chart that documents the lead times for all of the phones over time by carrier and with Apple.

So after some careful deliberation, I went ahead and cancelled my 128 GB Gold Plus and picked up a 128 Space Gray iPhone 6 at my local best buy and let me tell you people... it's the perfect size to get. The lady that helped me was kind enough to let me hold her 6 plus and she confessed that the big screen gets quite old really fast. I'm very satisfied with this decision. Then I purchased a Zagg Glass and an Apple leather case in red to go with it and boom, I just got me some sexy a** phone.
PS, before I headed to best buy I called apple and found out that they don't know what kind of iPhones they get until they open the UPS box they're shipped in. I mean, WTH? Who knew. And as for AT&T... well I never bothered to contact them. They're the worst.

If this is correct, ATT 6plus space grey won't ship for anyone until the end of October!
Anybody know if I call a Best Buy near me and they have a phone in stock will they hold it for me?
Don't want to wait for my AT&T "pre-order".

I don't think there's anyway they have the right time frames. They're saying the 6+ gold won't ship for 28+ days even though it's arguably the least in demand. My local Apple Store has had 6+ Gold stock every time I check.
The deal is no one knows. For all you know someone who ordered the same phone as you a week after you will get theirs first. I think that is what people have the biggest beef with att about.
These shipping issues are going to last well into next year. The first 4 million pre orders have not been fulfilled. Add on top of that, another six million; the holiday season for Apple and the carriers is going to be ugly! Think about it; at this rate if you order in mid november you won't receive the phone until mid january at the earliest.
There are 8 more flights coming in to Louisville tonight, maybe one of the has my long lost phone!?!?!?
If this is correct that means about 15 planes have come in the past 24 hours. Now thats a lot of phones!
Yes it is and im sure the first 4 million pre orders still will not be fulfilled!
In still in it. I got a email just now, I was all excited until I opened it.... It was my feaking bill!
Yes, there where about 40+ planes this week and apparently they where all empty because nothing is being shipped....
I think that the governor has confiscated them and will be passing them out as the new Obama phones!
Still here with you unfortunately! I got notification emails from idevicechecker in the night, but when I checked stock through apple's site the phones were already gone! BTW, stats are:
Ordered 9/12 at launch
SG 6+ 128gb
Non premier
Got all emails and texts, bla bla bla
Been in 10/2 - 10/13 since day one
I'm in DFW
Kill me now!
I guess seeing ANYstores getting ANY of the phone I ordered is good. Hopefully I can catch one and purchase online for instore pickup. If not, I'll be here, just being ATT's bitch! Really hope we all get some good news soon! I know we all need it after this colossal mindf#*k!!
