I had to settle for the 16gb 6+ due to the fact my old phone was hardly working, could not do in store reserving with AT&T next, and was sick of running around town. Would have liked the 64GB but it wasn't in the cards this year. Hopefully with the 6s+ Apple's manufacturing partners have better yields.
Got a tip for us?

Why didn't you try to order it earlier? At least 4 millions people got their phones on the launch day by pre-order and and a handful of people got their phones since then. When you placed your order, you knew the estimated delivery date and you were fine with that. Otherwise, why did you order online instead of going to store?
Apple launches another round of Iphone 6 in other countries; but that does not mean that everyone in those countries who wants a new Iphone can pre-order and get it on the launch day. Their waiting time could be significantly longer than yours. So please stop complaining.
FYI, I pre-ordered my phone on the first day at 7AM EST and was able to secure 2 phones for instore pick-up on the launch day. Because at the time, the shipping options sliped to 7-10 biz days already. Recently, I was able to find another 6 plus from Apple store with the specs and color I wants for my parents. Instead of sitting there and wait, be a little bit proactive if you want your phone earlier.

That is simply not true. I have updated for the last three launches and there are always that same number of complaints and issues whether it is the initial year or the S year launch.
I would say that do to the Apple quality, there are not issues with the new models and 'early adopters' are on a whole very happy IMHO.
I find the idea (that because Apple is based out of California, US users should somehow get priority on deliveries compared to the rest of the world) quite funny

If paying $100 for 48 GB extra is bad, then saving $100 for 48 GB less is excellent. Instead of assuming "price gouging", if you think that the difference between 16 GB and 64 GB should be less than $100, you should assume that the 64GB buyers pay a bit more so the 16GB buyers can get their phone for a bit less.

It's usually not the purpose of a company. It may be what shareholders want, but they are not the company. The purpose of a company is whatever the founders of the company decided what it would be. Successful companies will have often have goals that lead to the company making money, like Apple does. But the primary goal of Apple, for example, is not making money.
You can start a cake shop with the goal of making the best cakes in town. If you fulfil your goal, then you are bound to make money as well, as a happy side effect. If you start a cake shop with the goal of making money, you will likely fail if you try to optimise the profit per cake instead of optimising the quality of the cakes.
Then you can do a complete wipe and update the phone, and then restore your backup from the iCloud back up that you surely have. Or, spend the extra $100 on a bigger phone. It's not Apple's fault that some people don't want to or don't know how to do one of the three options they have other then doing an over the air update. Apple does not keep those options secret.

It isn't "Price Gouging" when the bottom line is people are willing to pay for it....however with that said, the choice by Apple to jump the 32GB to 64GB but not change the 16GB was clearly a good strategy to maximize profit for Apple. 16 GB is becoming less and less a good choice as we store more on our phones, the cost to jump to 64GB for Apple is negligible, yet they are charging consumers an extra $100 for that.
Apple's bottom line is going to smell like roses the next several earnings reports.

I couldn't pre-order because I had to have the ATT retentions people let me get in an earlier upgrade than my contract allowed and they would only order me the phone on launch day.
Does anybody know how the launch for Serbia will happen without a dedicated Apple store? It is currently the only country in Europe not present in the apple store and it still has no official Apple representation, despite many iPhones and iPads in use.

Yes because of the 16 - 64 Apple's ASP has risen above $700iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, I still haven't decided yet. 😕
Wish they had 32Gb base model, now instead have to spend more for 64Gb.
Seriously what fits in a 16Gb version anymore? Greedy much?
I wouldn't be even a tiny bit surprised if we saw a refresh to the 5 form factor in the spring. This spring in fact. Apple is not going to totally abandon that size, and refreshing in the spring enables them to spread out their sales calendar. Thoughts?

They are actually making iphones right? It is frustrating to have Apple so consistently mess up on quantities. STILL none to be found. They want numbers to be amazing yet they manage to always shoot themselves in the foot on numbers by not having any to sell.
How about filling demand here first
Before opening the iPhone 6 series to the rest of the world, how about Apple filling demand in its home country first. I've been waiting for a month for the iPhone 6 Plus, even through I placed it at 3AM on the first preorder day.

I'd say what pisses me off more is all the perfectly good iPhone 6 Pluses lost to BS bending videos.

I filled my 6 with office apps (keynote, pages, numbers), Microsoft mobile, business apps and GPS apps and some games and still have 40% of 16 GB empty.
