If I have to get my iPhone 6s Plus 64 GB from Best Buy. When I preordered on the 12th way before others on the 13th ,14th,15th,16th, etc... I'm leaving AT&T for T mobile. I don't care how bad their network is. It's about principle now. Lol
 
I just don't even get the logic behind what order this orders are being sent is. It's not by preorder time, as multiple people here who ordered well after I did with the same model I ordered are receiving shipping notifications. This communication by AT&T is worse than that of Pebble. And Pebble only has like 60 employees!
 
You are correct.

Is this the first year of this practice? I believe I was able to presign for my 6 last year via Apple and whoever they ship with. The "local" FedEX depot isn't exactly close to my house. I wish they'd be more transparent about these kinds of details

This is what I mean. You placed your order after mine for the same phone. I just don't get what AT&T is doing. I may call and find out if there was an issue with mine, though there doesn't appear to be one.

Well you have to realize this:

1st come 1st serve is probably based off EACH MODEL. So if they have 10 Gold 6S and 1 SG 6S, even if 100 people each order, only 11 are going to get shipment notifications.

They physically can't ship out a phone they don't have. As far as it looks people who haven't had their phones ship yet, did in fact order after some people who have the same model that has shipped. ATT is probably actively opening pallets, verifying product, and scanning in as we speak so they'll do it in waves. A pallet or entire shipment could be hundreds of thousands of phones to ship and we are just a small part of the community.

I don't think they're getting shipped out of order.
 
still preparing to ship here... iP6S+ Gold 64GB. Ordered at 3:15EST. Seeing as stuff was just picked up a few minutes ago, it'll take a while for ATT servers to update with shipping stuff. I don't think we should forget what has happened multiple years past with ATT, and that is a bunch of people who ordered early got no shipping info until after the phone had been delivered on launch day. If no shipping info comes today, I still think theres hope until tomorrow. Then there's no hope. :)

I'm trying to compare the same model. As someone listed above, they ordered a 64 gb 6S Plus and had their order go through at 3:11 AM and theirs has been shipped. I ordered the exact same model and mine has yet to ship. My order went through before theirs did. That is why I made the statement I made.
 
Tears of joy as I see my phone light up with an email notification from ATT saying my phone is on its way! I was losing hope for a release date delivery, but it's coming! Ordered 9/12 at 3:25AM EST 64GB SG 6S+

I keep coming back to this thread for some reason. I don't even care that much about when I get it. There is something about all the angst that I find compelling...

Like I said, this is where the frustration comes from, as my order was placed before Regus (this isn't a dig at you, I'm happy you're getting yours) but this is the exact phone I ordered, and my order went in before theirs, and mine is still in Limbo. This is why I say I don't think it's going in order of orders received but rather some other algorithm that makes less sense.
