Any ideas if it means anything all or just typical att "yep got the order now go wait in line" bs or is it a positive sign?
got the phone. not too different. cool nonetheless. I like impatiently waiting for them to arrive and the unboxing.
ordered 9/12 @ 3:02am EST
received 9/30 @ 1pm EST

I was going to move to T-Mobile to get out of this ATT subsidy nightmare (having to buy at ATT), but T-Mobile was not the best in my area during my test.
So I ordered my 128GB Space Grey Plus on subsidy today. It says Nov 3+ for delivery, wow, wonder why this model is as bad as rose ones. I hope it ships sooner.
Also, the order says it is going to remove my old 200 text for $5.00 plan. Customer service claims I will have to do a manual activation upon arrival to not lose the plan, whatever that means, I'll just activate it, and they can fix it later.

So I got my phone at 4:00PM
I'm out and about. My son was home, but the phone was left at the door.
I'm Still restoring it. Man it's been a pain in the you know what.
Problem: It came with apps that authenticated on my iCloud account. But my computer and all apps are authenticated on my 15 year old iTunes account. Since my Mac doesn't have authorization to sync apps owned by my iCloud account, I got stuck with this cryptic message. It refused to sync.
I went down all sorts of rabbit holes. And then it hit me what had happened. So I had to delete all the iLife/iWorks apps on my new phone, and do a factory reset. I then restored my old phone and now it's finishing up.
What a waste of time. Next time I will know to delete those apps right away, or just do a factory reset out of the box first.

I was able to set up my phone just fine, even with having to jump through a few hoops because I'm running beta 9.1. My troubles came with getting my "old" 6 set up for my husband. Lots of iCloud issues, despite turning off Find My iPhone and doing a factory reset. Luckily he barely uses his phone, so he's good for today as long as he can make and accept calls and texts. Hopefully I'll get it running correctly for him this evening.
Sounds like my house only it's my wife that gets the hand me downs. She had a 5C, she got my 6+ so a huge change for her.
My husband used to get the hand me downs in my house. This year he refused to take my 6+ because of the size so I bought him a 6 off contract, sold my 6+ and his old 5s and bought myself the 6s+. Looks like I'll be buying all my phones off contract from here out since he's no longer willing to take my hand me downs if I keep getting the larger format. I refuse to buy from AT&T any more, even to get a subsidized phone. So it doesn't much matter anyway I suppose.
That's a quick turnaround. I just ordered the same exact phone thru apple. Hope I get that luck
I hope so for your sake, I almost did it through Apple, but it wouldn't allow me to do so do to having combined billing, it would take 2-3 weeks they said.
And yeah very surprised by such a quick turnaround, pumped for tomorrow.
Mine was 1.5 lbs. less packing material I guess
is my favorite face out of all of them 
Just got a text from FedEx that it was delivered today! Wow that was fast. Maybe because we're both east coast (phone left from Tennessee, I'm in Boston)?
still waiting someone mentioning that their 128gb RG 6s+ was pushed back made me sad...thats the one im waiting on
I literally ordered this exact phone. I ordered mine at 12:31 PM MST. Hopefully mine ships today!
