That's one huge cult. Besides, all fanboys do that, not just Apple users. And one major difference with the larger iPhones is that Apple came up with a truly elegant solution to the one handed usability issue compared to the clunky options in the Android camp.
I don't understand why all the complaints 1 or 2 weeks late? If you don't like the wait go buy something different.

I have a question... Does AT&T allow you to buy the iPhone outright (non-contract)? I have always gotten a 2-year contract with each new iPhone, but this year I want to just buy the iPhone 6 Plus in full with no 2 year contract/commitment. Is this possible with AT&T?
H&R Block and Turbo Tax scale up rented server capacity on a temporarily basis for tax season. Retailers do something similar between Black Friday and New Years for the Christmas holiday season. Amazon built their entire AWS web hosting business model around this, and other infrastructure hosting companies including Microsoft's Azure are getting into in a big way.

Honestly, the iPhone Plus is essentially the iPad Nano for me. The iPad-like interface elements are what swung me the rest of the way. I can see myself being more productive on it, especially once 3rd party apps start updating for it. The OIS would be great for shooting random videos of my baby girl (especially as she is just becoming mobile and I'll be following her around), but it wasn't a big selling point. The screen density didn't really do it for me as I don't really care—BUT there is something strangely appealing to me about having full 1080p. I watch a lot of video content on my phone for some reason. My wife has also been wanting an iPad of her own and refuses to upgrade from a 4" device, so I will probably give her my Mini or we might sometimes share as it will still be better for drawing (I'm hoping for an iPad Pro at some point). As for battery life, that's just icing on the already massive cake.
As for the size—yeah it's big. I won a MacRumors iPhone 6 case. It came with a cardboard printout of the screen inside it. I still couldn't quite reach the top of the screen, especially the corners. So since I'll have to use that new shortcut anyway, I might as well have a bigger screen, right? So I made a cardboard mockup of the Plus. It fits in my hand. Hope it won't be too slippery, but I'm also planning on getting an iWatch, so hopefully I won't have to get it out much when walking around outside. It fits in all the pants pockets I tried it in, including some of smaller-pocketed athletic shorts I wear around the house on the weekend. I did find myself noticing the card board mockup in my pocket more the first day, but today not as much. Now the actual phone should weigh more, but what I noticed more was when I would bend or shift into different positions the bottom corner of the phone pressure points were more apparent. I think for most guys (unless you wear really skinny jeans) the phone should be ok in your pocket. Just make sure it fits in your hand ok! I couldn't get it to fit in any of my wife's pockets—ok so it kind of did in a couple but it was sticking out at the top by quite a bit. Sitting down it cuts into the waist.
I ordered mine at 2:00 exactly and have a 3-4 week wait. Clearly Apple underestimated the demand and the carriers had an even smaller supply than Apple did.
Boom - that was it. My invoice did not show sales tax on it, so the Amount due today was $0.00.
Upon closer inspection I found this little tidbit hiding out on the side of the invoice:
Thanks for opening my eyes for me

Uhh how did they step it up when my expected delivery date is the 31st of October? For AT&T. I pre-ordered at 12 Pacific time
Yes, if history is any indicator, they'll eventually sell you a full-price off-contract phone, once initial demand is met, but it will still come locked to their network.
Just buy the unlocked T-Mobile phone and use your existing AT&T SIM card, or get a new one [edit: a new SIM card] from any AT&T store.
Or get a Verizon iPhone, which are all GSM unlocked out of the box in addition to supporting the Verizon network.

Thanks for the info! I'm not really concerned with getting a locked phone through AT&T since they have the best service in my area anyway, but I just don't want to be tied down with another 2 year contract.
Everything is going well? My experience last night would beg to differ, unless Apple was lying about the carriers being unreachable in their reservation email.
Still, cool that they're selling so many, and I'm happy that I was eventually able to order my phone.
"Everything is going well", was not exactly my experience.
Website failed, Chat Representative failed, ordering from customer service phone rep was quite a challenge.
3 1/2 hours later finally got phones ordered.
yeah, this happened to me too. I'm pissed. When I checked out, the shipping time still 14-21 days. Now, yes, I know that things weren't updating as fast as they should have on the site due to high volume, but come on now. October 31?? such a joke
The iPhone 6 , 128gb, space gray I ordered est. ship date is 9/17-9/19
The iPhone 6 Plus , 64gb, Gold I ordered est. ship date is 10/13-10/22
Called AT&T this morning and was told all their iPhone 6 Plus are 35-42 days out.
The T-Mobile iPhone is identical to the AT&T iPhone in every way, except:
- The different SIM cards in the box
- T-Mobile will be unlocked out-of-the-box
- You'd have to pay Chronic, etc. to get the AT&T phone unlocked or plead with someone in customer service (unlocked has a higher resale/trade-in value later)
- T-Mobile will be available on the 19th.
Also, you can always pay the ETF to get out of your two year contract. It's prorated so the ETF gets smaller every month of service, but you'll always have to pay something -- my AT&T ETF for the four remaining months of my contract was something like $135. The problem there is that getting AT&T to agree to unlock your phone at that point is a total PITA.
Iphone 5.5'' buyers' first purpose is to amuse those around them and they will for sure
Order status page is available for my order and it says ship date 10/31-11/11
My order was for the 6+ 64gb space gray and I completed my order at 12:10am
If I were to get a 2 year contract my current bill would go up $25 per month, which means over 2 years I'd be paying $600. It is cheaper for me to just buy the iPhone full price. So I wouldn't be able to just put my current iPhone 5's Nano-SIM into the 6 Plus when I get it? My current 2 year contract ends in November, so I wouldn't get the 6 Plus until then.
