I just got home a little bit ago. Pulled up to fedex at my door. So I parked the car and ran. Took the package and said thank you and proceeded inside and opened it. I riped the box to pieces lol. Then I relized that it wasn't my iPhone but my anniversary gift from my wife. Oh ******* then proceeded to try and put everything back in the fedex package to acted like I didn't even open it. Doesn't look so good :( she is gonna kill me.

My condolences...................


KIDDING!! Congrats man. :cool:
 
Hey gold/128/6+ people: I did it. Cancelled my AT&T pre-order, was eligible for upgrade immediately (I checked while still on the phone), and grabbed this exact phone from a local Apple store. I was in and out in about an hour (I was shocked to see how many scalpers were still in line, cycling through multiple times).

I was able to get it as a Next phone, no problem. Setting everything up at home now.

Anyway, ultimately it was quick and easy and they had the phone at several local Apple stores. Check yours!
 
Lmao it's all good we tell each other all the time to upgrade haha. I'm really hoping for the mass shipment tonight the CSR told me about

Yeah me too. I guess we'll find out within the next few days. I should be right behind you as I'm in the 10/13 - 10/22 bracket. Got to the point of no return so I'm just going to wait.
 
Rent-An-iPhone

Just an idea ... if you find stock of a plus at an Apple store, you should be able to purchase it for the off-contract (retail) price, use it while you wait, and return it within 14 days. Not sure if there is anything to stop this, or whether there are any restocking fees.
 
After cancelling my pre-order I went over the to the Apple store and was able pick up a 6+ 128 Silver on AT&T Next instantly.

I'm all set and currently restoring to my new 6+.

Good luck to those who are sticking this out for their pre-orders. Hopefully your new devices will show up soon.

As for AT&T, I will never pre-order from them ever again. What a nightmare!

Awesome!! congratulation :) good thing you two did not buy each other iphones or you could be waiting until your next anniversary for them.
So what is the getaway?

This is a lame thing to do, because you'll have essentially taken 2 iPhones out of the available pool.

If you don't want to wait, cancel your pre-order and go pick one up locally. Don't buy and return just to satisfy an urgent need to have one only to give it back later. The one you return will be set aside as a warranty replacement, not available for someone who is looking for one to buy.

Agree ... not super cool. But, warranty replacements need to pull from somewhere. If there are not any refurbed units, won't they just pull from new stock. So, it may be a wash.
 
Crap, just checked another thread and those with shipping estimates for tomorrow are already getting pushed back. FML. To those with 10/2 dates, please post any updates, as it'll help others know what to expect.

I ordered 6+ 128gb space grey 3:45am pst 9/12
ONLINE says "In Progress: 10/2 to 10/13 Our warehouse is still processing this item for shipment."

(877) 782-8870 days "back order" as of this post. Original conf. Email said said 14 to 21 business days.
Why would there continue to be retail shipments when preorders aren't filled?

The phone are ther other part haha. And going to a resort in the poconos.

----------

Haven't fallen off the 10/2 date yet so there is still hope.
 
For the people that have a 10/2 to 10/13 ship date, what does your online status day? Mine says, "In Progress". I am gonna hashtag twitter #iPhoneOct2 and post any movement if you care to follow and contribute. I think this will make it easier to follow progress of others in same boat.
