Yes, mine shipped today.
128GB 6P SG. Problem seems to have been on the supply (Apple) side.
Given how limited the 128GB 6P was, I suspect premier/non-premier didn't make much if any difference.
Shisssss.... Don't tell anyone else, but it's all on account of the blind folded monkey throwing darts at the ATT shipping/order fulfillment map in the annex to the CEOs office.
Please tell me you mean 9/12. I don't think I could handle you ordering on the 13th and getting your phone already

lol - I was thinking the same thing. I ordered two 6+ SG 64GB on 9/12 around lunchtime.
I should mention that I decided to not wait for the wife's phone and when and picked up a silver 6+ 64GB for her from the Apple Store today. She wasn't picky on the color and she's very happy with it so far!

I've seen them ordered on the 26 and delivered. The 13th is still a preorder day. That's what u folks told me the other day. Every day before 19th issa preorder day.

I get a little hung up,on these dates .why would anyone who has a preorder be shipping in November. That has never made sense , sure it may have something to do with the queue but why does someone who orders after me fall in to a queue for Oct and I have to wait till thanksgiving. And what would that have to do with warehousing. I live in one of the most populace areas of the country so. Ca and they have warehouses coming out of the cracks here. Why is my 13 order date so far behind everyone else's. Explain it to me. Now
There may be warehouses popping out from the cracks in SoCal, but the warehouse that will ship your iPhone is located at 13550 Independence Parkway in Fort Worth. I don't know how many distribution centers AT&T has, but if SoCal phones are coming from Fort Worth, there can't be much more than a handfull for the entire U.S.
I received my iPhone 6 (not a Plus) on Tuesday, and discovered that it had been manufactured in Week 34 (last week of August). Considering that people ordering directly from Apple are now receiving Week 39/Week 40 iPhones, some of these phones being provided by Apple to AT&T have been sitting around for a few weeks. I contacted AT&T about this issue, and they told me that they're sending phones out as fast as they come in from Apple. (They were careful not to blame Apple for the delays...)
I just got back from costco where I saw first iphoneplus

me either, I am pulling my hair out as it is!
Bone dry is right. The other day we went to a mall where they had several phone stores, also Walmart and target in area. Not even a demo All I wanted was a demo so I could hold phone in my hand. Went to cosco today and they did have a demo. I was so excited over that phone I couldn't believe. No one in our area has any stock at all. California
They have over 1 million workers, and 30000 at this plant alone.. 1000 protest, I think we are good.
I ordered midafternoon the 12th and I have been in November all along. It's not just the 13th.
Yes I understand that. I just have hard time rationalizing why there was such a big jump into Nivember. Wierd
I'm proud to state that on October 9, 2014 I didn't check the status of my phone anywhere on any website or number. Harass any customer service reps of ATT or Apple. And barely posted or checked here.
Lol. That being said. I'm going to go check on it now. Lol.

Awww you were doing so well!
I have a feeling that shipments will pick up and the late October/early Nov phones will arrive earlier than expected. Remember the ship date is an "estimate" that AT&T is banking on will actually happen - you would think those ship dates are generated intelligently to protect the company from backlash should they face delays. I do think if you do not get a tracking number within the estimated date range, you have grounds to be very upset. Until then, its hurry up and wait like everyone else here has done, even those who ordered once the website opened at 2330PST on the Sept 11.
I know a few 6p shipped early, but a lot of the phones received within a week of the sale date (Sept 19) were regular iPhone 6's, not the 6p. The 128gb versions definitely seem to be rare birds, which is to be expected because the 16gb version is probably the one people buy most. I'll be honest - I have no idea how someone can survive with just 16gb on an iphone. Even my 4S was a 64GB version and its full.
While I know my dates say, 10/13 - 10/22, they have until 10/15 for my status to show a change. I leave for WDW on the evening of 10/17. I'm canceling my order on the afternoon of 10/15. I have no early termination fee on any device on my account.
If I'd known what a debacle this would have been, I'd have waited in line on release day rather than bother with the whole AT&T pre-order. While I know Apple has limited the supply it is AT&T that took the orders. Hopefully, they have learned in business it is always better to under promise and over deliver.
