If I'm a Premier member.. through employee discount... but ordered through retention... I would assume I am considered a regular customer?
Still waiting for my iPhone 6 Plus 64gb Gold. Order Date: 9/26
I also am a Premier member through employee association. Yes, we are regular customers.
Your group will start shipping next week.
Hang in there.
Purely conjecture. How do you know they will ship next week?
someone is selling like 15 iPhone 6+s on eBay. this is what is ******* me off and that's why we are not getting our iPhones.
Are these for AT&T? Did people stand in line and buy a bunch of them on opening day? Do you even know where these came from?
This entire thread is getting a little ridiculous and turning into a big circle-jerk about how AT&T is trying to screw you over.
Here's the things I know:
Pretty sure AT&T doesn't make the iPhone, so they don't control the amount of stock they are sent.
Pretty sure that if you are a NEXT customer, AT&T doesn't have your money yet if you don't have an iPhone in your hand. There was a pre-authorization for the TAX on your device, but that isn't actually taken out of your account until the device ships.
Pretty sure all of the planes coming out of China do not contain iPhones. Some, maybe, but all of the planes? No.
This goes on every pre-order, people en-mass are going to leave their carrier for screwing them over by not getting the phone in their hands immediately. I didn't see anywhere where there was a guarantee, did you? I see an estimated shipping date, but the key word there is estimated. Perhaps you should be a little more mad at Apple for not foreseeing how hugely popular the 6+ was going to be and adjusting manufacturing schedules to handle this. Or perhaps there is a supply chain issue.
Bottom line, sometimes crap happens and there is nothing you can do about it, so sit down, shut up, and wait your turn. It's just a phone, and you'll get it in due time.
