UPDATE....

Summary of Today's Headlines on the forum...

One person has recieved a tracking number in the entire forum... All day, and she may have been lieing.

IPhone will launch Globally in 24 hours with 15 million additional global Pre-orders to be added to the list. (Be sure to welcome our new foreign friends to the forum, interpreters feel free to apply here_____)

CSR's from AT&T told different customers different lies.

We had two (update now 3) people say they cancelled and went with a 6 and then listed reasons justifying the change.

Planes that landed in Alaska carrying iPhones may be headed to Russia for the global launch and not for us. (Wouldn't make much sense but nothing has seemed to make much sense yet).

The phrase, "Screw AT&T" may or may not be a verb. (this was highly departed on page 175).

An Asian guy tossed boxes all over in a humorous gif

IPhone 6 Plus may bend if kept in the pocket. (wouldn't know though because we don't have ours).

11 forum members have been put on suicide watch. (please remember to remove their shoelaces and any sharp objects)

There are planes in the sky. Where they are going and what models they are carrying no one knows. (Less planes than yesterday though so this may not be a good sign).

*And, as always, feel free to add whatever I may have missed.

:)
The bolded made me actually laugh out loud. And I'm not finding much humorous at this point... I'm done checking for a while, it just isn't happening this week.
 
Still waiting 6+ 128g gold. 10-2 since beginning. Tried to go to a store to look at the plus. We even went to Competitive stores. No one had one for us to even hold! Best we got was a rep from Verizon that looked up the dimensions of the phone and found a galaxy note that he thought was about the same size. He said its gonna be about this size! That's as close as I've gotten.

Wow, that's nuts. You should keep trying to get your hands on a demo. It's a beautiful phone.
 
I agree we seem to be low priority. I tried to get a Plus on Sat and was told no one in the whole county had one. (Utah County) Even the Apple Store in Murray had only a few. I got my 64 SG Plus 30 minutes ago, finally. It's huge. I'm 6'4" and I don't think I'll be doing much on it with one hand.

Good for you! That gives me some hope since at least someone in Utah got it from AT&T. I had a friend let me hold his phone and yes it is huge. Did fit in my pocket, but now that I see pictures of bent phones I'm rethinking where I carry it.

I'm one of the few with the 64 GB in gold that hasn't shipped yet.

No … I'm also 64gb Gold Plus and my early pre order from ATT has not shipped. I got the $40 activation fee on my bill tho :) called ATT on that and they said it goes with the order … regardless when I get the phone … kinda sucks huh? Also even tho I'm on the 10-02 to 10-13 for shipping … ATT chat guru said it's 35 to 48 business days from time of order for pluses. I really do not want to believe that! Why do they always sneak that business day BS in?

Put a case on it.. or don't put it in your ass pocket and sit on it for hours and you'll be fine.. or don't wear skinny jeans and sit down with it in your front pocket.

To bend it.. you'd have to have it in your pocket for some time while sitting...without a case on it. These videos you see coming out.. people are trying to bend them and make them worse. If I bent my phone on day 1.. you best believe I'd bend it to make it worse to get it exchanged.

Edit - Apple I would neverrrrrr dooooo that.. ever... so when I come in with my phone.. please exchange it for me ;)
 
I'm not too concerned about bendgate because I plan to put it in a case anyway. I have a cheapo wallet style that I ordered from Amazon for $8.00. It has a nice rigid plastic section that the phone snaps into. It is currently sitting on my desk and mocking me.

I pre-ordered a nicer version from Sena - expected ship date Mid-October.

I wonder which will come first at this point.

I want my c*nting phone!

Last time I checked AT&T provided service 7 days per week. Therefore there are 7 business days in a week.
 
So, I stopped into an Apple store on the way home to play with a 6+ and also see if they had any in stock (yea right).

Anyway, I was walking out and I noticed that I had a push notification form the Apple Store app! It said I had an order waiting for me! I got really excited and thought maybe I could pick up a phone! LOL

Turns out that it was a phantom order.

I guess I will have to wait until October as well. :confused:

If you guys think this phone is so beautiful and perfect. Just go look at these https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1784043/. It will deflate your hopes like it did to mine. Some guy had to exchange 5 times. They are pumping them out so fast the quality is garbage. Lets be happy we get the second wave..

You ****ed up bro.
 
Does anyone have an email confirmation of either delivery or tracking number for 128gb sg 6+? From whichever of the last few days that they wouldnt mind posting or reposting? The att person i am in contact with is actually being helpfull for a change and having that proof would be very usefull. Thanks :)

Because apparently they don't work weekends, which we all know is BS by some of our comrades got theirs shipped this weekend.

I purchased mine on NEXT and my bill cycle starts over on October 7th. If my phone has not shipped by then and they charge me my first installment payment on my October bill, I'm calling 611 and raising all kinds of hell.

I'm not paying on a status that says "Preparing to Ship". Not to be mean, but why should I pay for a phone I don't have yet?
 
Where are you going to get one at any sooner? or are you going to settle for a regular 6?

i really was just going to see what the apple stores have and if they have the one i want I'm taking it. i never was going to settle less, the plus is my type of phone, I'm tired of getting jerked around by att and playing with their games.
 
I could cancel my 6 plus right now and head to the Apple store less than 3 mi away and get a regular iPhone 6 but i can't.... I want my 5.5!
