Hi Ryan,


Do you mean that the photos make it look smaller than it really is? Is it that big? I already have the Spigen Tough Armor case for this (BTW that case is amazing and Spigen makes awesome cases), and it looks big, but not that big.

Exactly. In my opinion, the pictures of the 6+ make the device seem smaller than it really is. It's still a beautiful phone, but after holding the 6 and the 6+, I can safely say that the 6 is a much more manageable size for me.

Update (in case anyone ever reads this again): After two weeks with the 6+, I decided to keep it. It definitely seemed large at first, but after getting used to the screen size, there's no going back. The 5s and regular 6 now seem way too small in comparison. I've had no issues with bending, fitting it into pockets, etc. I love this phone!

Looks like they might FINALLY be processing in first in first out order as it looks like most of the pre-midnight orders got their notices before those that ordered after midnight and those that were just after midnight are getting them now. At least I think that's the trend I was seeing.
 
My story:
Gold 64gb plus on NEXT.
Ordered through non-premier at about 2AM PDT (I'm in California).
Still in the 10/2-10/13 window.

I'm hoping those of us consumer customers will start seeing movement soon. I'm ready! :apple:
 
curious if anyone is in a similiar situation as myself. I tried to cancel preorder of the 64gb SG 6+ on premier website earlier, got a message saying i couldn't cancel. so i called, and after a while they were able to cancel and free up my upgrade.

I wanted to order one in a store that is about 2.5 hours away for in store pickup, but didn't know that they didn't allow that for att next upgrades....

so i ended up getting a 6 in the local apple store about 2 hours after i canceled my preorder. love it... main concern is battery life but we shall see. after holding a 6+ i'm on the fence about the size.

ANYWAYS - - main point is on the way home i got an email from fedex delivery manager saying I have a package on the way for delivery on monday. checked att site.. sure enough its the original order for the sg 64gb 6+ that was supposed to have been canceled. i haven't been charged for that tax yet on that order. it will be interesting to see if they request a redirect on the package or rely on me to return it.

anyone else in this boat?
 
Premier account, ordered Space Gray i6+ through AT&T about 15 minutes before they were technically available. Original email had shipping est. of 10/13-10/22. Updated to 10/02-10/13 on 09/18 email from AT&T. This afternoon I got an email stating the phone shipped from Ft. Worth on Friday and will arrive Monday 09/22. That's cool.
 
I was a 10/2- 10/13 window ordered at 5 minutes early and I just got my shipping notification. Now I have to have my wife work from home Monday to make sure someone is there to pick it up.

if you dont want it anymore you can refuse the shipment and it would go back to them then u would not have to pay for shipping but since it was canceled i am not sure how they could charge u for the shipping in the first place
 
Finally some movement!

I woke up around 6am and saw that there were a few Apple stores in my area that had the iPhone 6+ available for pick up today, but I was scared to cancel my order with Premier and not see my eligibility update quick enough to go and buy the phone from Apple today, so I figured, fine, I'll just stick it out.

Around 9am today, I was being shown dates 10/2-10/13 (that has been the status since Monday, before that I was in the 10/22-10/31 range, and before that I was in the 10/31-11/11 range!). I felt stupid for not trying the cancel route and going to any of the three Apple stores near me to go and just pick up the phone, but now I am feeling 100% better.

Posting this for those of you that were wondering about west coast orders, I am in the Bay Area! :)

Preordered iPhone 6+ Silver 16GB 9/12 around 12:45am, received confirmation email at 6:36am, never received a text. I've still yet to receive an email/text from AT&T about the item being shipped.

No, but keep us informed.

Not me lol
 
Ordered 6+ SG 64GB AT 3:05est. Hoping for a shipping number today.

Stopped at the local AT&T store to check both out today. In no way did I feel the 6+ was too big. I'm 6' 4" and very lanky though.

One handed typing will take a little time getting use to, but was very manageable.

Wife thought it was overkill but after she saw me using it she thought it was actually perfect for me. Not her, but for me.

Now she doesn't want my 5S and wants a 6, but that's another days problem.

I've been refreshing mine like crazy too and still nothing :( its not looking likely
 
Any non-Premier folks order around 45 minutes after pre-orders went live, have a shipping estimate of 10/2-10/13 (moved up from 10/13-10/22), got the email saying "that's still your dates" a few days ago, and now have shipping confirmation?

Fun with bold, sorry.

TIA.

Please quote me in your replies, thanks.
 
it's nice seeing people checking in, and reporting their delivery confirmations.
I'm just waiting to see (consistent) confirmations for those of us who were post-Midnight orders !
