I ordered my Silver 64GB 6+ on 10/7 and mine says "Preparing to Ship". I'm sure it's being prepared from the manufacturer in China (or wherever that batch of phones is currently located). Not the UPS hub.

You ordered a 6 plus on 10/7 and its already preparing to ship??? There is something sooooo wrong with this :D
 
I think my phone is also on your flight, as well. It needs to start moving ASAP so I can start tracking it on FlightAware.

ZhengZhou, China 10/09/2014 8:00 P.M. Arrival Scan

Yup... Same shipment. Let us know if you see any movement. I still think I messed up my shipment by selecting hold for pickup cuz my status shows I have a problem. So if you see or get an update please let us know!!!
 
Maybe that's why? I know more and more people are getting the space grey. I think silver is great though.

I spent a good 30 minutes trying to decide whether to get SG or Silver and finally just gave in. I'll have a case on it anyways so color really doesn't matter much. But I guess I made the right decision #
 
The difference is the front of the phone. SG makes your phone look conspicuous, and Silver announces to the world you have an iPhone.:D
 
The T-mobile rep at the Apple Store on launch day told me that the T-Mobile phones bought from the T-monile website are locked to T-Mobile USA.

However, the T-mobile phones bought from the Apple site are unlocked, and can be used with any service or network SIM card. I can attest to the fact that my T-mobile no-contract phone from Apple is working with my ATT SIM card for the past 3 weeks.


hmmm, figured all Tmobile phones are unlocked...
 
Means it's getting ready to. But as some have stated, it can be in this phase for more than 8 days. Mine was for 6 days. When you get a tracking number, you know it's been shipped.

gotcha! ok, thanks! Its frustrating seeing phones ship after yours went in. However, yall ordered on apples site vs me on vzw.
 
This thread should be renamed to Apple.com preorder thread - iPhone 6 Plus. Nobody got time to talk about the 6 here! ... I'm going to get a cold pop.
 
Day 5 in Shipped land. This morning, after sitting idle for a few hours, we were officially scanned as imported into the United States in Louisville. On the way to the scan, most of the phones on the pallet started singing, "One the road again...just can't wait to get on the road again..." I thought "Yeah, we're delirious. Good thing we're all heading home." After the scan, they started splitting us up and I lost track of most of my pallet mates. I got tossed onto a plane with some phones and other objects I didn't recognize. I landed next to a KitchenAid who was intent on mixing things up, but before we could really sort him out, the plane was taking off. I asked Siri where we were going, and she said, "Mather." Mather, shmather - where the heck is that? Maps told me it was really Sacramento. Oh. Thrilling. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Ooh, what was that? Touchdown in Sacto, and we're all jostled awake as we're trucking across town to the westside hub. Looks like this is my hotel for the night before I take an early morning ride to the bay area and my new home.

No turndown service in this joint.

I'm on day 9-10 and I haven't seen a single thing.

I was patient, but seeing as I could have gotten a phone 10 times over since that time, I have no more patience to give. It's really starting to get on my nerves. I ordered in the early afternoon on the 12th, this is getting ridiculous.
 
I'm not liking the estimate at&t is giving me with my order for the 6 space grey 64gb, thinking about canceling to order with apple. What would you guys do? (ordered two days ago)

The earliest At&t is estimating they'll ship is November 6th. I was hoping to at least have it shipped this month.

I would definitely go through Apple, their shipping estimate is 7-10 days. It will most likely be sooner though.
 
So, day 1 of preparing to ship :cool:
Figure it should finally ship sometime next week, the 20th (start of my delivery window) is starting to look fairly accurate.
The Wait...... It continues! :D

Ok, our phones are in Korea now, finally. Last stop before it reaches the U.S.

Yeah I went with Apple as they would be the first to have them over the carriers.

My iPhone 6 Plus is at my local post office (2.6 miles away).

I'm going to grab it when I take my lunch break. :)
