Apple.com preorder thread - iPhone 6/6 Plus

Just ordered my iPhone 6 Plus Silver 64 GB ATT from Apple.com, anybody had their phone ship earlier than 3-4 weeks?

Sound good bud! I ordered a Space Grey 64GB.. will also post here and let you know.

Please let us know if your dates move as well.
 
I had an ATT (Premiere) order for a 6+ SG 64GB. I placed that order with ATT on the 12th at 11:40AM CST and got a ship window of 11/9-11/27 that never budged, so I canceled it.

On Saturday the 20th I placed an order for a 6 SG 128GB and have the 10/8-10/13 delivery window.

Kind of glad mine was delayed. I got to play with the plus and like many others, it seemed wonky and just didn't work for me. An early October ship date is much better than waiting for Turkey Day for my phone. Still miffed that I could probably go to any store and pick up my phone now, but I guess I could always hope Apple fills the order early.

Guess i'm a glutton for punishment.
 
Finally got a change on my Oct 1-6 EST arrival. Preparing for shipment now. :rolleyes:

My wife'es 6 came in last Friday. Looks really nice but I think I'm glad I picked the 6+. Can't wait. :(
 
I placed my order on 9/12 at 5:45AM PST. My delivery window for an AT&T 128GB gold 6+ is October 13 - October 20. I am hoping it gets to me sooner.
 
Still waiting . . .

I ordered my Space Gray iPhone 6 plus 128 GB on Friday September 12th at just past 6am EST.

Ever since then I have been looking at "Available to ship: 3 - 4 weeks
Delivers: Oct 13 - Oct 20 by Standard Shipping" with no changes.

I was hopeful that the date would be moved up but nothing so far. No charges to my card and no movement towards shipping.

We shall see.
 
Ordered my 64GB Space Gray iPhone 6 on September 16th. Since placing my order, my dates have stayed the same:

Available to ship: 7-10 business days
Delivers: October 3 - October 8

Hoping for a speed up like others have gotten, but we'll see.


EDIT: Meant to ask if anyone else ended up with the October 3 - October 8 window. It's strange, I haven't come across any others in that bucket.

I've got your frustration.

Thursday of pre-order week: Got up in the middle of the night to purchase new iPhone. I did it on a 2 year contract. Went back to bed.

Next day(Friday): I did the math and realized Att Next would save me $, so I panicked. I called both ATT and Apple, and they both said changing my order was doable without canceling, but no one who had the authority to edit or change ever said "yes". I wound up in an Apple store, speaking to the manager while his associate was on the phone to someone in Cupertino. End result: if I wanted to save the $, I needed to cancel and reorder, which I did.

Fast-forward to Launch Day. I stayed up late and noticed that one of the local Apple Stores showed stock of the phone I wanted, only problem was I had to cancel the pre-order I had to complete transaction (some of you now see where this is going). After I cancel, I go all the way through the pre-oder dialogue until I get to the grayed out "pick up in store". I was yet another victim of this clause Apple or ATT has put in their terms of service with one another.

So.... I figure "no problem." I get up early on Saturday morning, saunter down to the local Apple store and am greeted by a line longer than i've seen at even a release day for some iPhones. So I wait 2 hours. Finally, as I'm nearing the front of the line, someone appears from the Apple Store saying that they'd sold out of iPhone 6+'s.

That leaves me with a new online order and an end of October delivery date. I hope those are worst case scenarios as some have indicated that ship times are bumping up.

I experience a similar situation. If I had kept my original preorder my phone would have been here this week instead now I gotta wait until between Oct 17-24. I hope they move that up.

Sounds like they are under promising and over delivering, won't be long for you folks, they are just going down the pecking order. Looks like right now is 1st-6th, then the next group, etc. Looking at my order which was 1st to the 6th, now delivered tomorrow, if it took right to the 6th then my order is a full 13 days early. Sounds like you won't be waiting that long.

Since this hasn't been said in awhile...
May fortune ever be in your favor :)
 
I'm in the 10/9-14 delivery window, I haven't seen anyone else in this area.

It's a regular 6, 64gb space gray, t-mobile option so I can put in my cricket sim card.
 
Early Shipment-About a Week-of 6 Plus!

I ordered an AT&T 64 GB 6 Plus, Space Gray, through the Apple Store website on the morning of September 12. Originally it said ready to ship in "7 to 10 business days" with a delivery between "Oct 1-6." Yesterday the order status changed from processing to "preparing" for shipment. This morning, the 22nd, Monday, I got an email confirming that my order had shipped, and the Apple confirmation email showed delivery on Friday, September 26, BUT the UPS tracking website shows a delivery date of this Wednesday, the 24th. I am a UPS My Choice member, so the UPS tracking is also showing my preferred, guaranteed two hour delivery window. I'm choosing to believe UPS that I'll get the phone this Wednesday, thus saving about a week off the soonest minimum times I got when I made the original order.

I'm hoping that everyone's orders move up in time like mine. I'm normally pretty patient, but once I've made the order I don't like waiting for it-I've been spoiled by Amazon Prime!

Unlike other posters who think they could just saunter on down to the store instead of waiting for their order, there is ZERO possibility of that in the North Dallas TX area-store availability sold out and ended on the first day. If you do go to an Apple or AT&T store, they'll tell you the best way to go is to order-they don't have any iPhone 6s at all, not a single one of any type, color or storage size-nada, zip.

My phone is now in Shanghai according to UPS. Looking forward to my ginormous 6 plus.
 
For those at home keeping track, the Flight from Osaka to Alaska just touched down 5 minutes ago. If someone can get the link for the Alaska to Louisville flight that would be great :D

Thought I was the only one obsessing about the flight and watching it land :). At least I'm not alone, lol.

im doing the same thing too. i think there are a lot of ppl stalking the flights at work to see if their phone landed.
 
I've been watching both flight UPS59 and UPS77 headed for Anchorage. My phone had a departure scan from Zhengzhou about 12 hours ago. But nothing since. So I'm betting it's on UPS77 and didn't get scanned at Shenzhen or the tracking didn't update.
 
I know there is a way to check apple.com to see if the serial # for a new iPhone has been added. Does anyone know the exact way to get to this area via Apple support? I reviewed this information when I purchased the iPhone 5 and have forgotten how to access this info :confused:
 
Who else is in the 10/7-10/10 window? I ordered a gold VZW 64GB iPhone 6.

Around what time do the status usually update? My credit still has a pending charge on it. Verizon has already picked up the pending order (not letting me make anymore account changes)...
