AT&T Pre-order status iPhone 6 Plus (only)

I looked back on site and notice a week ago we had some movement. 🙁
Took another look and changed my mind. Not Much movement. I am just clutching at straws. Oh well. I'm hanging it up for weekend. No checking today. Wow starting the 5th week now.

Anyone with 10/29/14 - 11/07/14 ship date seen any movement with their orders?

Those of us in the 10-13 / 10-22 group aren't seeing movement... don't expect you will see any movement yet. At this point I would be expecting your phone during the window given. Earliest mine can ship given the holiday weekend is now on the 14th so god willing it will make the given window. (for reference 6+ 128gb space grey)
 
Ordered sept 13th,shipping dates 11/9-11/27

Since October shipping still in limbo good chance I won't get my phone until November. Oh well I'll have my 82 nd birthday on nov 11. Hopefully It comes by than. Or maybe it will be abig thanksgiving Turkey. 🙁

In all I purchased 2 iPhone 6 pluses, and 2 iPhone 6 minuses for myself and family, all from the apple site at different times, starting the first morning preorders were available.

You have to be pleased when a company keeps or surpasses all their delivery promises.

I am an Apple customer who purchased a 6+ 128 Gold from their reseller, AT&T, at 3:24AM CDT on 9/12, while they slept in. I am still Backordered

I would be happy with a company who didn't leave their indirect customers hung out to dry.

I am, in the meantime, babying my 3-year-old 4S along, hoping the battery will hold out until Apple decides I am important enough to ship my phone to AT&T so they can ship it to me.

This is my first experience with Apple new releases and preorders. It will be my last. By the time the 6+ gives out, I will have researched a replacement that will fill my needs because, obviously, Apple doesn't care whether I buy their iPhone or not.
 
ATT is...

well...you can fill in the blanks there...

So after I preordered my 128g plus and completed it 10 minutes before launch..i first received a november shipping...it eventually got down to 10/2-10/13..... I also purchased a basic phone as a second line....

Later in the day i got a phone call saying my card was declined..called and approved but at that point my order was pushed further in the que...

waited and waited and nothing changed... until today and kept checking this forum to see where everyone was at....and after finally waiting for so long i gave up and was LUCKY enough to find a device at a Best Buy Mobile store via: idevicechecker.com

I would definetely recommend it..got there wiht no line and got my new SILVER 128 gb plus...and I decided to stay with my carrier.. ATT customer service was worthless...they didn't know what they were talking about and was always getting the run around..ontop of that the LG basic phone I ordered was in stock but they never shipped it to me and its always says backordered.....

So moral of the story - dont go to att, don't preorder with att, and just order through apple and/or check the idevicechecker..it worked for me!

Good luck yall..so happy i got my new phone.😕
 
I ordered through att because I was afraid I would lose my unlimited data plan. How did people order through apple? Did the Apple site let them renew their contact without changing it?

I ordered through ATT because I wanted next. I got a great new data plan for 15.00 less a month than I paid before. Rather than keep ny plan I had which I would have had to sign another 2 year contract for I went with next. My plan price(no contract ) dropped 15.00. I do have a two year contract financing my phone but hope to pay that off ahead. I know everyone hates Att right now but I think Apple really initially screwed up. None of them seemed to know what they were doing. I'm afraid I'll have to hold my breath and wait until November. 😱
 
I've had my 6+ for almost 2 weeks now but for some reason still follow this thread. I have noticed a trend. Usually when someone posts a quote of someone receiving their phone before them it is a different color or storage model. I know they are all 6+'s but isn't it like comparing apples to oranges?

So here's a question: I am a premier customer. Ordered 2 SG 64gb phones back-to-back approx 6:30 am EST on the 12. Original ship dates 10.27-11.11 and both moved up to 10.01-10.13. Both phones received on 9.29.

Did anyone who ordered SG 64gb phones before 6:30 am on the 12th receive them after 9.29 or still waiting?

I understand what you're saying. I ordered a 6+ 128 Gold at 3:24AM on the 12th so the only thing I'm looking at are those.

Just out of curiosity, what time of the day did you order your phone? Was it in store or online? Premier or not? I'm only asking cause I ordered the same phone on the 12th at 9 AM CST, just curious. Thanks in advance for the info and I'm glad you got your phone!

Premier, ordered online about 0030-0100PST on the 12th (basically right after the preorder opened). It was on an upgrade, not next.

I think I might have just locked down a 64GB SG 6+. I originally ordered a gold but will go with the SG. Hopefully it works out because I do not want to wait for November.

Just got my phone. Didn't go as easily as I hoped...but it's done... Never again.

Cancelled at&t and purchased directly from Apple.

A lot of people are doing this and for most, it is equivalent. However, if you are trading up from an iPhone 4/4s, do not cancel your preorder - the tradein credit during the preorder is $200. ATT reduced it to $100 now. So if you cancel the preorder and buy from apple, you lose $100 worth of rebate.
 
Me too!

I am in your boat with the same exact delivery dates for the Silver 6+ 128 GB. I placed my order on 9/20 with AT&T since I was eligible for the upgrade and while I am not terribly impatient in receiving mine, my old 4S is busting at the seams with limited storage capacity (yes, I am still stuck in prehistoric times). I should have cancelled with AT&T and purchased the phone while I was in the Apple store yesterday when I was having my old Macbook serviced. There are two Apple stores in my city, but again, I wasn't all that impatient. Apple also honors the NEXT plan, too, if eligible. Had I known this, I would have gone straight to Apple in late September. My status "preparing to ship" hasn't moved since 9/20.

Does anyone know how soon your upgrade will be reinstated if you cancel your order with AT&T and buy one at the Apple store assuming that a.) you are in the store and b.) are told there are a few of the phones you want are in stock? I did not want to call AT&T inside the Apple store and wait an hour on the phone with AT&T to cancel and have them reinstate my upgrade 48 hours later. If the reinstatement is immediate, then it might be worth the hassle of calling AT&T while in the store. I am keeping my old 4S since it is sentimental, so no phone credit for me -- just wanting to cancel my order with AT&T.
