Apple.com preorder thread - iPhone 6/6 Plus

[Srobinson9305]

My label was made 2 days ago but I got a text this morning saying I've SHIPPED! UPS still just says "Label created. Ready for UPS"

 

[keaiChat]

NOOOO!!! Mine still says "Preparing for Shipment" estimated delivery October 14-21!

Was ab to ask you what yours was showing. Mine is still showing preparing too but I talked to an apple rep this morning and she told me it was pretty much waiting for a label. Should be soon for us.

Exactly the same situation here.

 

[Plasticstars]

Nice!!! Must mean mine is due to ship as well. Been right beside you the whole time!

I bet it is! Fingers crossed for you.

Hopefully! Thanks for letting me know!

Pretty sure everyone is getting UPS.

Who here has had their iP6 ship/arrive a week earlier than the original quoted delivery time frame?



Pls advise.

When I preordered on Sept. 12 I originally got a 10/13-10/20 time frame (Plus 128gb space grey) but it ended up being delivered on Oct. 3rd. Despite taking a very long scenic tour of Asia it came pretty quickly.

Thank god. FedEx has an issue and is dyslexic and drops my packages off at the wrong house and drops their packages off at my house all the time. Would hate to miss out of my package because of Fedex not being able to comprehend the address correctly and follow their GPS unit for the address. They dropped off my PS4 at their house, but luckily I was refreshing my tracking number and saw it was delivered and went looking around and found it before they could grab it.

Day 13 of Processing Items.

Ordered Att SG 6 Plus 64Gb on 9/22 after having to cancel my 9/12 order because of upgrade problems, so now I'm just waiting for that Beautiful "Preparing for Shipment" and then "shipped" notification.

Honestly can't wait to upgrade my broken screened Iphone 5 for that gorgeous 6 Plus

Hurry Apple I'm going crazy!

iOS 8.0.2

I'll be getting my 6+ tomorrow as I missed my 1st delivery attempt Friday. With that said, I've been doing a little research on the state of iOS 8 and the apparent debacle of the .01 & .02 updates... So just for your leisurely reading while you are waiting for yours, here are 2 articles that discuss the pros/cons of updating your phone's iOS which should be on the base 8.0 when received.

Same exact phone and carrier. Ordered on 9/24. Day 11 of processing

 

[wintermute1]

I was complaining to apple support this morning when ...

My phone finally entered shipping status (UPS label printed, ready for shipping actually). Still projected for a 10/14 delivery - but I am hoping it will arrive sooner.

I ordered on September 13.

 

[SmGrafiX]

I am. 128 SG 6+ Att. Ordered 10/2 after stupidly cancelling my 9/12 preorder with ATT hoping to reserve one in the store that (poof!) was gone.

Let's hope the phone shows up before Halloween. Looks like they're doing a good job of getting the high volume of preorders out. I think once the preorders are shipped things will move faster for us later folks.

Agreed !!! That would be awesome if we did get them on halloween

2nd Order

I ordered early in Sept. 12th and on the 24th ATT "accidentally" cancelled my order. They still cannot explain how and it appears they couldn't care less. So I re-ordered on the 25th with Apple. Hoping they get ahead of the 24th-31st estimate. (6 plus SG 64 Gig)

Watching as you get your phones and happy for each one as it gets a little closer to mine

or long before

 

[Kevin22]

Oh man if att did that to me they'd be down the road!!! Even after 9 years with them.
You're taking it well

I also ordered on the 12th and AT&T cancelled mine. Noticed the next day, ordered again, cancelled again, within 5 minutes. So I ordered from Apple on the evening of the 13th...

I'd punt AT&T but I've been with them forever and they have me grandfathered in to an ancient, super cheap 200 talk minutes plan (i HATE talking on the phone and use 10-20 minutes a month) and my bill is awfully affordable as a result.

Spent 16 days processing, 6 preparing to ship, and finally went to shipped this morning. (6+ 64 gold).

 

[Edaliah]

Ordered 9/26 64GB 6 SG & Gold. Delivered 10/4... About a week's turn around.

Team B... Glad everyone got their phones. See you next year.

Ps. LOVE the phone. Texting is so much faster! IOS 8 is really pretty awesome. Had a hard time justifying upgrading from the 5s but it was worth it. Beautiful screen and great pictures. Love it!

Hang in there guys... Apple will get it to you shortly

AHHH... that's 3 days before I placed my order! I hope that means Apple will process mine by this week. I ordered mine (16 GB 6+ Space gray) on the 29th! Crossing fingers!! I'm getting so anxious now! Enjoy your phone!!

they ordered a 6 and you ordered a 6 plus. that's why they get theirs faster. I ordered my 6 plus on 9/20 and I'm still in processing.

Pls advise.

I placed the order for my 6+ on 9/12 @ 5:45 AM PST. My initial delivery estimate was 10/13-10/20. After some crazy UPS tracking and a tour of Asia, my phone was delivered on 10/3.

 

[shayshay02]

My mom and I ordered our phones on Sept 27 and 29 respectively. She got the 16B Gold and I got the 16B Space Gray, both AT&T models. Did your ship already? If so you are lucky. Still waiting for our phones to ship. Doesn't look like we're going to get ours until late October.

I think they are a little backed up on the 16gb models and the 6 plus's. Mine shipped on Friday with an estimated delivery date of the 9th (Thursday). Keep us updated about any progress. Hope you get it soon.

iPhone 6 64gb gold Tmobile through Apple's website.

I got convinced by my husband to switch to the 6 because the 6 Plus was talking FOREVER to ship since I was still in processing for almost 2 weeks. He thinks the plus will be too big for me but I'm tall, 6'0, so I think I should be fine. I have to wait to see the 6 and play with it a little but I think I might try to change it for the plus once I get my hands on it and feel it out. The phone was ordered on Oct 1st and we live in south Texas.

Has your phone moved since Friday? Mine's still in China with Thursday as the delivery date.

Does anyone have the flight info for UPS flights from ZhengZhou to Incheon, Korea?

Does anyone know how to use the flight aware site? I've gone to the site but I don't see any flights leaving China. Not sure if I'm doing it right or not. Anyone with info would be appreciated.
