On the topic of AT&T I'd like to add something --

Maybe the decisions are made around what kind of company AT&T needs to be. Perhaps it's better for them not to spend a half billion dollars improving the shipping logistics for one brand of phone for one two week period per year. Maybe it's smarter for them to spend that money on network infrastructure to make the phone work better once we have it in our hands.

Wait...knock it off? But endless speculation about stuff we know nothing about is what the internet is all about. That, and cats.

Honestly...you knock it off.
 
Hey, I just now preordered a Space Gray 128g iPhone 6s from the AT&T website and it is saying that it will arrive this Friday. Does that sound right? I thought preorders were at 2-3 weeks by now.
 
This was my experience last year with AT&T order: got my preorder in around 3:18AM for a 6 Plus 64GB. I didn't get any confirmation until the next morning. Shipping estimate was the last week of October. A couple of days later, the shipping date got pushed to first week of November. Then, it went back to first week of October. In the end, I received my phone about 4 days after the launch date.

The supposed supply issues are apparently only with the larger Plus models. That's the one 99.9% of those in this forum are referencing.
 
Found the AT&T employee...

I'm kidding of course. Waiting for our phones to arrive is part of the fun (for most of us). You're right, though. We can't really complain about estimated ship dates until those dates come and go, then the real complaining can begin! Hopefully we'll all have our phones by then.

Yeah. This happens with Android phones too, it's nothing new. AT&T just doesn't ship until pretty late. This conspiracy theory/outrage/fake AT&T employees thing is just awful and needs to stop.
 
I think that's true for us 6s customers. The people that got the 6s+ may not be as lucky.

It's true for everyone who got their orders placed in a reasonable time frame. Supply is very good this year (look at pre-orders everywhere else)
 
get out the kitchen if you can't take the heat or aren't interested in what we're cookin'!

Well I am interested in hearing when phones start shipping for people but I am not interested in conspiracy theories or outrage so..
 
Hey everyone...

a lot going on here! :-D

I created a new Account with ATT (new customer) on 09/14/2015.
My iPhone 6s 64GB Space Gray pre-order still says
"
Order status:
Preparing to ship

Estimated ship dates:
September 24, 2015 - September 24, 2015
"

Says preparing now for 3-4 days.. not sure if it will be delivered Thu or Fri!
 
When I called i kept pressing "other"/"something else till I spoke to an operator and plead my case and that I had spoken to all different departments, and he connected me to what he called "the executive offices". On a related note the VP i spoke with mentioned that there is a front end to the order system that we see online, and a backend. For mine the front end said october, but the backend said September 25th. Also I am ATT Premier so that could be a factor (although previously they kept just transfering me to the Phillipines call center, so I don't know if that means anything.

Has it been charged on your credit card yet?

If some people want to allow themselves to get all bent out of shape and call AT&T 10 times a day to complain about an estimated ship date that hasn't passed yet, more power to them.

For the majority of us, it makes the wait more bearable being able to joke and speculate with others about when our phones may or may not arrive. I for one appreciate those in this thread who offer new information, even if it is just speculation. It's like Christmas in September.

If no change by Thursday night for me, I just go to the att accross the street from my office. Will be going on thursday after work to ask them if theres any new info they have
 
For me it was pending first.. but now not there anymore..

Pending charges can and often do drop off. If it were me, I wouldn't expect a delivery until I actually saw the charge go through. I do hope that your card charges soon and your iPhone ships.

Thanks for making me some hope ;-)
Still crossing fingers that it ships today/tomorrow.

Does anybody know if shipped on ATTs site means shipped from ATT to me .. or is is like the Apple Shipped that starts in Shenzhen, China?
