Still holding out hope for Friday. I remember I didn't see any movement on my iPhone 6 Plus preorder until the day before launch day and then I got it.
This post has forced hope back into my heart. I really don't want my heart to be crushed again though
Really? It has sucked hope out of my heart. I am resigned to the fact that I am going to end up at Apple at 5AM to see what my options are.
Lol easy for you to say, you're in the September club!
I'm confident you all with longer shipping dates will get them sooner then expected. The carriers and Apple always tend to play it safe when estimating dates. I wouldn't be shocked if a good chunk of people who didn't think they were getting anything this Friday actually see something. One launch I was confident mine missed the boat as I had nada to track and all the movement showed up at once late in the week. Hang in there, I'm hoping that's the case with mine as well!
I feel like we're all the kid who's sick and stuck inside on a snow day. Meanwhile everyone else (all the other phone orders) are our friends, getting to play outside. We want to play too!!!
5AM at an apple store? Im getting in line at my local ATT store before midnight to assure I'm first in line to get a black (jet if they somehow get them or matte) 128gb plus. Have a feeling there will be just 2-3 if even that many.
Do you guys live in major cities or something? There's hardly ever lines where I live. Maybe it's because there are so many different places you can get them on launch day now
Nope not in a big city, but in the case they only get 2-3 black plus models I'd rather be the first one in line.
The first sign of movement will be phones in profile and or charge on card (if pending has dropped). All that happens first
One of the Apple Store employees I was talking to the other day was like trying to get me to come to the Apple Store noon on launch day to see if they have the jet black plus models. I was like well if I wait til noon then you definitely wouldn't have them by then. How do you not even know then when you work at Apple lol?
If you guys really want to speed up your delivery, go to one of the "omg JB scratches" threads and talk up how hideous the scratches will look... A few people have posted that they cancelled their order after reading that stuff! Every cancellation gets us one phone closer. ;-)
I like the way you think
Because they have shipments come in at random times. I had an Apple employee drop me a hint like this 2 years ago when the 6 Plus came since I wanted the Space Grey in 128GB. I walked around the mall checking the Apple Store App inventory until I saw the model pop up. Purchased it with in store pick up, skipped the line, and got my phone with ease.
So yea maybe he was hinting, but who knows.
6s and 6s plus last year had October 16th dates.... Got it on launch day... Shipped Thursday got it Friday at 2pm with the pope in Manhattan.
Looks like all the folks who ordered Matte Black are getting their cards charged in the last hour. Many of them had late September shipping dates and are now being bumped up. Hopefully we're not far behind!
