My Space Gray 64GB 6S+ from Verizon is still processing. Only thing that is charged to my credit card appears to be the Apple Care, but I have noticed that the shipping on the phone has went to 2-3 weeks instead of 3-4. Mine still says Oct 7 to Oct 12th. I have been up the last 2 days trying to reserve one at the store, but Louisville does not seem to be putting any 6S+ up for reserve.
 
Update... mine is now in Alaska! Finally some movement!! I hope it arrives before my sons last varsity football game of the year this Saturday.

We have three apple stores in town, and ALL of them have been sold out of the 128 6s+ rose gold AT&T phones since they were released. Apparently I have good taste... Too good.

Me! I ordered as soon as I got home from my oldest sons homecoming game... Launch night...just after midnight Hawaii time, which is 3am Pacific time. So I ordered a 128gb 6S+ rose gold a couple of hours after launch, and still don't have it...

I originally tried ordering from Apple and was pissed off about the estimated Oct 6-12th delivery date, so I tried AT&T and they had an estimate of Oct 16-23rd, so I went back to Apple.

Mine says it shipped Sept 25th... Delivery moved from Oct 6-12th to Oct 1...Phone sat in Hong Kong for days, and finally today moved to Taiwan with an estimated delivery of Oct 2nd...

Mine got to Alaska and changed back to 10/1!! Might want to check again!

If I wasn't dead set on the rose gold 128gb I could have had a space gray delivered on the 25th, but I knew I wouldn't be happy unless I got the rose gold...
Lol me too! I have had every other color iPhone had to have the new color! I love pink anyway. They left Alaska headed to KY! Then should be headed out to our local hubs from there!

YES! Date moved to 10/1

Ha well now mine seems to have gone BACK to Taiwan from Alaska due to "severe weather"?

Taoyuan, Taiwan 09/30/2015 11:42 A.M. Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery.
Anchorage, AK, United States 09/29/2015 5:06 P.M. Departure Scan
09/29/2015 2:59 P.M. Arrival Scan
Taoyuan, Taiwan 09/29/2015 9:45 P.M. Departure Scan
09/29/2015 7:08 P.M. Arrival Scan

Bleh.

Me too!! Why in the world would they send our phones back to Taiwan after they had departed Anchorage???!!
Such BS... This better be a mistake. Surely this didn't actually happen... Delay my rear end.
 
The "weather" notice from Taiwan is 2 1/2 hours after the departure scan from Anchorage. So I don't think this is a matter of the plane going to Taiwan instead of Louisville, but maybe Taiwan is a regional command center for flights in the Pacific and all stuff like that is posted from there. Anchorage is currently experiencing heavy snow/rainfall, but I don't think it would affect flights that have taken off (there are several UPS planes flying from Anchorage to Louisville and one to Ontario, CA right now). Now Louisville experienced heavy rain this morning, but it appears to have cleared. Maybe they had flooding that is hampering operations?

Edit: It appears that Flight 63, which normally would have taken off five hours ago, is still on the ground, delayed. At this point, it would not make it to Louisville in time to get its cargo on the planes going out to make deliveries scheduled for Wednesday.

I think that is probably what has happened now that I think of it as well. The package was scanned in Alaska but there is no actual scan from back in Taiwan, the message about the delay probably just originated from there.
 
Mine should be headed to Honolulu. Is there a way to check and see what plane it's on and see when it will take off?
 
WTF? Did you see this?


Yep. Apparently shipping from Anchorage to Honolulu is also delayed due to severe weather...
I don't fully understand the whole back in Taiwan BS...
Just when I was getting excited about finally receiving my phone...

The Taiwan part ok. They have to use a location for updates. As. Long as no "arival" "departure" scan our phones didn't really go there
 
Flight 63 finally took off and is due to arrive in a little over 4 hours. I find the "weather delay" suspicious since there was no delay at Anchorage for other flights (even for other UPS flights), but people tend to forgive "weather delay" as something beyond UPS' control, but not "something wrong with plane, had to fix". This will delay the delivery of most iPhones on board until Thursday.

As for Honolulu, once your package makes it to Ontario, CA, UPS runs two flights a day on weekdays to the islands, UPS 56 and UPS 2964.
