Apple Store Down Ahead of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Pre-Orders

Yeah. Confirmed! It's 100% working now for Unlocked iPhones 9/19
it's working in Safari and Chrome if that matters.

Good luck patient folks!!! It's worth it in the end!
 
Website is live for me now. I cant buy it without being forced to upgrade. I needed to order through the Apple Store in order to use gift cards....Verizon's site would have let me order without upgrading...sigh. Thanks Apple.

Finally started to work for me.

Ordered a T-Mobile 64GB Space Black 6 Plus. Says ships Oct 1st - Oct 7th.

If that doesn't change closer to Friday I'll most likely go in store and take my chances.

I just received one of my confirmation emails.

"Thank you for your purchase from the Premier Online Store and for choosing AT&T as your wireless service provider.

Your Apple iPhone 6 (64GB Space Gray) has been reserved and is expected to arrive on or around 9/19/2014. Your iPhone has been reserved. All orders are processed on a first-come, first-served basis."
 
Got it!!!!

Finally, I got it. Straight from APPLE US STORE, with Chrome, went through, no problem at all. Simply worked at this time, almost 5:30 here!!!:D:D:D

Now, I need to SLEEEEEEEEP! Good buy and Good luck fellows!
 
I ordered 2 iPhone Plus 64GB about 20 minutes ago through the AT&T Store. I have not yet received my confirmation emails though. Any other AT&T users get an email yet?

Confirmation email might take an hour. But 6 plus shipping att is showing as 14-21 days, might as well get it on 19th from store
 
Finally got through... Says delivery on 16th October... :(

Anyone think I might get it atleast by the end of the month...?

UK Site Up. 64GB Silver 6 Plus Ordered :D 19th estimated Delivery :)

So is the UK site accepting preorders for Unlocked iPhones, but US not?

How did you manage that?!?

Ordered the same colour/spec at 8.40am GMT in the UK with estimated delivery 10th Oct!

Now need to try and cancel so I can preorder with Phones4U who are guaranteeing 19/09 delivery :/

I ordered through att.com 7 minutes before the Apple Store opened! (11:54 PM PDT, 2:54 AM EDT). The iPhone 6 PLUS will ship in 14-21 business days, meaning sometime in October. The website always reported, and still reports 14-21 business days to ship for the iPhone 6 Plus. It still reports delivery on September 19 for the iPhone 6 over two hours later!

Now that it's 2 hours later, and I still can't get on the Apple store through the website, but the Apple Store App works fine. I just checked with the Apple Store App on any iOS device and I can get any iPhone 6 4.7" (any color and size, except for silver) delivered on September 19! I can get the iPhone 6 Plus, ANY model shipped in 7-10 business days. So these iPhone are not already sold out! It appeared so about 90 minutes ago, it reported unavailable.

Now, I went ahead and reserved another iPhone through Apple. Though I have to complete the order in 24 hours after receiving an email. Can I cancel my AT&T order? I already upgraded with the Next Plan to save $190 over the next 2 years (and will KEEP/OWN my iPhone, i'll just upgrade next year on another line). The savings comes from the fact that my monthly bill is $25 less per line when you upgrade to the Next plan or buy the iPhone at full price, though buying the full price I'd have to pay a $40 activation fee. So $25*24 months = $600. $600 - $450 (subsidized price savings) = $150. The upgrading with the Next Plan I waive the $40 activation fee as opposed to paying $949 for the iPhone 6 Plus 128GB model and paying the $40 activation fee. So that's how I come to $150 + $40 = $190 savings over two years.

That's what happened to me, too. I was able to place an order on AT&T Premier around 1-130a Pacific, then I checked on Apple like around 2-230 and I could get the same one to be delivered by 9/19; AT&T said 14-21 days, so I ordered through Apple. I went into the order status for AT&T Premier and pressed the cancel pre-order several times but nothing happened. I'll call them later today to cancel verbally. But, I'm not that worried since I'm pretty sure I can return it and at worst, I'll have 2 tax charges of ~$80 which is nothing. Though, the worry-wart in me is thinking this will cause a bunch of issues to my account but I'm sure that's highly doubtful.

Was up to preorder at 2:00 AM Central. Stayed up till 4 am F5ing. Just woke up for work and preordered but have the 7-10 day delivery so I won't see it until October :(

Don't understand why T-mobile phones were left off of the Apple Store App, but thanks to that I won't have it on the 19th.

Oh well.

Guys in Canada,
While placing your order, did you get the option to pick up your iPhone 6 in an Apple Store location?
I did not.

By the way, I placed an order via iPad 3, but could not do it with iPad 2.

Nope, I myself did not get that option.

But I see now, in my bleary-eyed state, that Canadian Apple store still has stock and shipping times are still 7-10 days as of 8AM EST.

I coulda stayed in bed! Ah well... :)
 
Absolutely pointless getting up early in the morning to have a shipping time of 3-4 weeks. With that sort of delivery estimate I might as well have ordered the phone when the initial rush died down.

Tell me about it. It was never this bad when I had to sell the darn things, and the rush almost always died down after the first two weeks.

Sure, there was a line outside the door . . . . . of about ten people that were like, "Oh, look, the line is WAY short. I think I could buy my iPhone now, why not."

I knew it was going to be a pain to pre-order but i didn't think it was going to be completely useless. Three to four weeks and you might as well just wait two, and go pick it up in store.
 
Well, I have 2 reserved from Apple for in store pick up. And I also have 2 set to ship from AT&T. We'll see which orders go all the way through, considering I only have 2 lines.
 
So...I ordered my 128 GB 6 Plus at 2:00 and immediately received a confirmation with a 10-14 day shipping window. When I woke up later this morning I received a new email quoting an October 13th shipping date.

Oh well. I guess all the people saying the 6 Plus was too big underestimated the demand out there. This phone is going to be a huge profit margin driver for Apple...Congrats to the Apple team for bringing out another wonderful device. Now get busy making mine so it can ship sooner than I am being quoted!!

I guess the "old" 5S is going to have to hold out for another month.

Such are these "First World" problems.

Agreed, I already cancelled my order. I will let things shake out and visit the store.

Yes, and apparently having it on reserve means NOTHING. Even though I got the reservation in the WEE hours of the morning (after multiple attempts leading to the same outcome) the ship date is based on when I complete the order, so I'd be waiting a month as well.

That's IF . . . . . Apple didn't lock me out of upgrading my phone. Apple apparently didn't like those multiple attempts and crashes and freezes, each one after I put my info in and either they or Sprint locked my account and BOTH say I have to wait 24 hours for the lock to be removed.

I've NEVER heard of this in the history of activating phones . . . . or this is just new to me at least.

Oh well! :p

I'll pick it up two weeks. Walk right in, drop the cash, and walk out with two phones.
