Sorry, man. I'm that jerk who's friend was just laid off but can't help talk about the raise I just got. It's just that I'm so excited! I'm still on the iPhone 4 and I can't wait to have a phone that doesn't take 5 minutes to open Messages.
Got a tip for us?

Sorry, man. I'm that jerk who's friend was just laid off but can't help talk about the raise I just got. It's just that I'm so excited! I'm still on the iPhone 4 and I can't wait to have a phone that doesn't take 5 minutes to open Messages.
LOL!!! ME TOO! I waited FOREVER for the iPhone 6 to come out...I passed up on the 4s, 5, 5s and 5c...now I'm going out with the Prom QUEEN of them all!!!
LOL...
But I finally got my Louisville Arrival Scan! YAY! Now, if they could get that thing out of there as quickly as possible, I MAY still get it today (not likely)...worst case, Friday!
Ok...seems that AT&T has had the most delays...especially people who ordered with AT&T, canceled their order and tried to order thru Apple. Some of those guys haven't even had their order PROCESSED yet. That seems to be a problem with AT&T and Apple communicating about upgrade eligibility.
I've been reading this thread for the past day or so and some of the delays didn't make sense. I didn't order my phones until the 20th and 21st and my original ship date was 4 weeks! (Oct. 21st-28th) Luckily, I'm with Verizon, had not ordered thru Verizon and my order was processed and shipped by the 27th.
At first, I thought I was lucky. Now, I'm starting to see a pattern. It isn't Apple and UPS that's got these guys delayed...it's their CARRIER and Apple that need to be alerted that they aren't communicating quickly or efficiently about these orders.
If I were some of you, I'd call both up and inquire about the status of my eligibility and if Apple has been authorized to give me the "upgrade discount" yet.
THink about it this way: Would you ship and charge less for a phone without knowing for sure that phone's price is correct? Once the customer receives the phone, Apple's not getting the difference!
I hope this helps someone out there. I feel bad for you guys because I know how long I've been waiting to upgrade and I understand completely why you'd be frustrated...especially since you THOUGHT you were PRE-ORDERING the phone...
Mine says 10/2/14 delivery between 10AM - 2PM. As an experiment I selected 10AM - 12PM window and paid the $5, and now I have a confirmed delivery for 10/2/14 in that new 2 hour window.
I'd bet $10 it doesn't show up on time, but I woulda' paid $50 to ensure it really does...
Any chance they get my phones off a plane in Louisville, thru customs and on a plane to Columbia SC in 1 hour?
LOL...I can dream...
There is a 3:55am flight from Louisville to Columbia SC that would DEFINITELY put my phones on track to be delivered today!!!
*crosses fingers, toes and eyes*...

Just Wondering...
Hi Guys,
I've been reading this thread for a few days now. I ordered (whole long fiasco...) through Apple on the 23rd and status just changed to "preparing to ship" yesterday and my card HAS BEEN charged. How soon do you think I should get a shipped notification?

Has anyone ordered a 6+ through apple recently. Like within this week? If so what's your estimated ship date?
Looking to get an idea on when I might get it if I order a 64gb SG 6+ tonight for Verizon.

Mine was right where your phone is at 1am the night before I got it. I bet you get it today. If almost guaranteed it!
Once your card has been charged, it's fairly quick...at least, you'll get your shipping notification within 48hrs (usually a lot less).
Quick question...AT&T?
----------
YES!!!!! I hope you're right!! Got 2 coming...1 for me, 1 for my wife. Both 128GB, 6+, Space Grey...(VZN)
No contract? If it's unlocked, no...that's not exactly normal. If you have a contract, could be eligibility issues. Have you been charged?
Although, some people experienced longer times...mostly AT&T people...LOL.
Now in HK
My phone was dumped in ICN, and now, its in HK, gonna check if there is any flight From HK to Louisville or at least somewhere in the US by tonight or tomorrow morning...

Anyone from a second wave launch country has their iPhones shipped already?
On September 26th it said: Shipping in 5-7 business days
Mine is still "Processing".
But as I can see here, a tracking number isn't always that helpful

OK, so my phone is not moving in an UPS flight
My phone was shipped to HK using an Korean Air, by judging from the situation, there is a flight at 9:15 HKT, so if everything goes to plan, it should be moving this morning 8:15 CST, but, I don't have any chance of delivery today or tomorrow(99% sure not tomorrow), so I will just cool down and rest for now

Well, the good news is my phone, that didn't make yesterday's plane out of Korea, made it on a flight that left at 2:20 today. The bad news is the delivery date moved again to Oct. 7. I keep having to go to my choice delivery and select Will Call. I'm only a few miles from the UPS distribution center and will do that when I don't want something left on the stoop. I can't get the flight to show on flightaware though. It still shows yesterday's flight out of Korea.
Still no import or departure scan for my phone out of Louisville...oddly enough, delivery date still says 10/02...which would only be possible if it made this flight.
I'll know in the next 30 minutes...this flight lands in Columbia SC and if it doesn't update scans by then, it didn't make it...and the best I could hope for would be Friday...which isn't bad... 2 weeks from order to delivery ain't bad at all...
I keep kicking myself though...probably could have driven the hour and 15 mins up to Charlotte and bought both phones last week...LOL..
