AT&T: iPhone 6S/6S Plus Pre-Order Thread!

I ordered a 128 Space Grey 6s on 9/17 around 11pm eastern and received an email saying
"Great news! We received your iPhone order and it is expected to be delivered on September 25, 2015. "
Is this at all a possibility or does AT&T find subtle to F with my emotions? After the Chaos of last year and ordering late I fully expected to get my phone a week or two after launch day not on launch day.

you're likely to get it on launch day. the delays this year are mostly for the Plus models.
I noticed today that my charge is now not showing on my account. I ordered a 6s+, 128gb, silver model. I ordered at 3:18 AM EDT on 9/12/2015. I'm on the Next program, so they just charged me for the tax anyways. I did get a nano SIM card via mail yesterday. I used the upgrade for my wife's phone. I will give her my older 6+. The nano SIM card is for my phone that she will use. We will return her old phone. The ship date for the phone that I am seeing is 10/16 to 10/23/2015. It does say "Preparing to Ship." I got e-mails after I placed the order, but never got any text messages.
On the night of preorder, the AT&T site came up at 2:45 AM EDT for me. I went through the order but got the Oct ship date. I then checked the Apple website and iOS app. Both were not working. I then went back to AT&T and completed the order with them. I still had that same mid-October ship date both at 2:45 and at 3:15 AM EDT.

I ordered mine, 2 year sub pricing. 64GB Space grey 6S Plus. I placed my order at 2:54 AM EST and received my confirmation email at 2:57 AM EST. October 16-23. I still have a pending charge though. It also says Preparing to Ship on one screen and In Progress on another... so who knows.
It's what we all hated about ordering through AT&T last year - the complete lack of information about your order literally until it ships. Of course, what "Preparing to Ship/Back-ordered/In Progress" means is "We don't even have the phone that we will eventually ship you yet and don't know when we will get it." It's why I ordered from Apple this year.
Just curious... did anyone ordered their iPhone 6S through the AT&t App? I ordered the 6S Plus 64GB Silver one from the app a couple minutes before it went live. I was happy I got to order so early, but my ETA is 10/16-10/23. My shipping status is "Preparing for Shipping." and there's been a "pending" charge on my account from the beginning. I've seen some order from AT&T's website much later than me that have said they are getting theirs on the 25th. I think ordering through the App was a mistake.

Yeah, the 6S is going to be easy to come by. It's the 6s+ and Rose Gold phones that will be hard to find.
The ATT App isn't a problem at all.. In fact several of the iPhone 6 phones that DIDN'T come on opening day last year after promised were ordered from the website - not the app. People need to make sure they're clear about what they're reading and hearing.. The 6S PLUS has been over-sold. That's why you have the 'back order' type shipping dates. Apple has not released ANY phones to AT&T yet. Apple will look at ALL their Carrier stores orders and make a decision about how many to release to each store based on keeping their own (Apple) stores stocked to. At that point sometime early to mid next week - Apple will ship to AT&T (and Verizon, etc) and THEN, when ACTUAL product enters AT&T's computers, THAT'S when you'll see the mass changes in shipping dates.
Those of you with October 3-9 will 99.9% get your phones on launch day. And most of you with that next week as your shipping date will get your phones too..
All that the current delayed shipping dates you're seeing now means - is this:
1) You purchased a 6S Plus
2) what position in line you are to get your order filled. 10/3-10/9 people are ahead in line of those with the next week as their shipping date.
If people here have 9/25 delivery dates, and they're with AT&T, they have purchased a 6S.. NOT a 6S Plus. Even today - if you go online at AT&T you can order a 6S in rose gold and get it for launch day. There's simply a HUGE supply of 6S.
Are there really people with 10/3-10/9 shipping dates from AT&T for the 6s Plus? The earliest I've seen is the 10/16-10/23 group.
I haven't been watching this place too closely, but I've only seen 10/16 and beyond. That doesn't mean earlier doesn't exist though, I just haven't seen it.
Hey everyone, ordered two 64 GB 6S's from the premier store last saturday. Intially had two pending charges on my capital one account for $555, (I did the Next 24 with down payment). Was worried about the second payment, so I called ATT to double check what was going on. They said it was likely just an error, and that the charge would fall off. Checked my account today and both of those charges are gone, now replaced by one pending charge of $277. It's throwing me off because the final charge should obviously be in the $550 dollar range. Any one else dealing with an issue like this?
I ordered a Gold iPhone 6s Plus 128g and completed my order at 2:11am CDT. I checked the Apple Store at around 7am the same morning and my model of phone was still listed with a 9/25 ship date so it appeared to be the least popular model (hopefully). By around 9am it was listed with the 2-3 week shipping time on Apple. My ship date has been 10/16-10/23 since the moment I placed my order and it has said "Preparing to ship" the entire time as well. My credit card also shows a pending charge for the amount of my down payment (doing Next). Hoping for a launch day delivery!
Correct, all I've seen thus far is 10/16-10/23. And the majority of them are 6S+. This happened to a cowrker last year for the 6 launch. He ordered later than average on preorder and his date was saying a few weeks after launch day. All in all, it changed last minute and he got his phone on launch. Also ATT and done online..
The app is the website. It's just a browser subroutine. There is no difference. The app on my phone, shows the exact same thing as Safari. It's just in a mobile format, due to the smaller screen. AT&T's app has been gutted and it's just a branded webkit browser.
No one has an earlier date for the 6S Plus than 10/16 who ordered on AT&T. I have yet to see anyone with that date. I think anyone who ordered within first hour should get it launch day. Otherwise why even bother selling them. I mean i can't be mad since it doesn't have a launch date as the deliever, but still its stupid. Apple should know that the 6S Plus needed more, since last years release.
It is silly to think Apple hasn't allocated phones to carries yet. Those decisions were made a long time ago...figure 3+ million units are in play. Not waiting to "early to mid next week" to determine who gets what and how many.
It's not silly. It's fact. Just do some reading up on how it all works.. Though I probably should have said ATT doesn't have any actual PHONES from Apple yet. The shipping dates won't change until ATT gets physical phones from Apple.
Its not a FACT. You really think At&T doesn't know how many phones they are getting at this point? Really? Think Tim Cook will sit down over his morning coffee next Tuesday and say "how many phones do I want to allocate to At&T...hmmm"
Based on orders taken, you dolt. Don't be obtuse. It's clear you've never been in a retail business. Apple over sells just like the frickin airlines. Then they have to decide how to allocate the stock on hand. It's retail 101. I won't dignify continued interchange with someone who clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
Peace out!
Love how you took it to a personal level. Keep telling yourself how much you know and how smart you are...
