I actually tried canceling my order online and it got denied. I tried calling the customer care, had a huge wait (about 45mins). I had to hang up. Will try again calling them monday morning or something. Do you think canceling order and buying at store will be easier?

I personally don't think it will be. I'm going to wait it out. I called our local apple store, and they had a line wrapped around the mall.

I also called 5 different AT&T stores; only ONE store got an iphone 6+ in - and they only received one. I called Target, Costco, Sams Club, Radio Shacks, and Best Buys in the area too. None of them received the iphone 6+. HOWEVER, if you're getting the regular 6, then you might be okay doing that.
 
That is insane.

I tried canceling my preorder but it got denied. I will try again and will go try my luck at the Apple store. What do you think?



I preordered from a local AT&T store 9/12 at 6pm and my shipping dates are way beyond yours.

I'm guessing that I'll get it sooner but who knows.

Carrier: Shipping Date: 11/09/14 - 11/27/14*
 
I ordered iPhone 6, Space grey. I will wait sometime, may be till next week. If I don't see any activity on my order then I will consider going to the store. Thanks :)

I missed the first attempt UPS delivery at 9:52 am this morning (didn't think it'd come this early for an end of day delivery). Fortunately, they'll make a second attempt after 2 pm today and all they require is my written authorization on the slip to leave the package. Preordered through the Apple Store app.
 
To you October people crying, I would gladly trade you. I'm in the dreaded 11/9-11/27 "Place holder" window. Just remember it could always be worse.

the rub of it is people with your dates seem to be getting their phones earlier
 
I went to ATT store about 20 minutes after opening. They sold out of 6 Plus after the first 50 were gone.

Left and went to Best Buy Mobile. They had it. Told the guy I wanted it. Dialed 611 to cancel my pre-order. ATT rep was surprised BB had it. She cancelled my order and reversed my upgrade.

30 minutes later I leave store with my phone. Though I did change from Gold to Space Grey.

Now..........I may have made a mistake. This thing is freaking HUGE. Already thinking of returning later for a downsize.

I wish we could have held these things BEFORE ordering and buying.
 
I ordered my 6+ 128g space gray at 1:44am CST 15min before it started and still got a email within 5min saying 10/2-10/13.
 
Well that is the difference. A number of us are still not receiving a tracking number and at this point there is little reason to expect a phone today.

???

I was responding to a guy complaining about his ship date still showing 6-8 weeks when he can go to Apple.com and it says 3-4 weeks.

I was just saying that it's possible that the 6-8 week time frame is way over stated.

I wouldn't expect him to receive a phone today though.

No my point is, you were saying the phones could come earlier, which it did for you because you got a tracking number.
 
Yikes

When did you order? I finally got my order completed at 3:48 AM EST according to the confirmation email an hour later. Now in the 10/2-10/13 window (just checked the email, I thought it was a bit earlier). I'm 6+ 64 SG. If I were you I'd have cancelled and ordered from Apple. It still might make sense. Every roll out is different, but I distinctly remember people waiting FOREVER in years past while the people that switched to an Apple order got it faster. Tough call, you never know. But the Apple dates always seem more accurate while the AT&T 's were all over the map, both early delivery and often much later in past rollouts. I personally should have waited till Apple's website finally unglitched or gone through the app. But I think I'll wait for the 10/2-10/13 and hope it's earlier because the Apple website is worse than that now.
 
When did you order? They are crying because they pre-ordered earlier than most and still have to wait a month (unless that's the same for you, then :()

I did order a bit late 11:45AM CST on 9/12. Never had the disillusion of getting it on release day, but November? I can re-order right this very second and it gives the shame ship date.

But my point was..it could be worse lol.

You're not making any sense. A shipment date of 8 weeks away could still get a tracking number early. Does it mean it has to be today or it won't be shipped early? No.

My case is no different. It came earlier than the original ship date. My order updated on their site to "shipping on Sept 17 or 18" before I ever got a tracking #.

Oh I would have gladly placed my order with Apple, but my line was not due for an upgrade, so I needed to do the ATT Upgrade swap, and I couldn't do that through Apple's site. It may be a blessing in disguise. After seeing and trying both phones I think the 6 might be a better phone for me.
 
I don't understand what's going on because I placed an order yesterday for an iPhone 6, 16GB, Space Gray, and I'm getting a 10-17-11/6. People who pre-ordered on the 12th are getting November dates? How is this possible?

Maybe there are going to be a ton of people cancelling their orders and others will be moved up in line.
 
My ATT charge for the full price of my phone has been falling off and coming back over the last two days. I initially made nothing of this because there was also a random $4.23 charge from Apple from when I purchased my case last week which was doign the same (and this was a charge I was expecting to fall off). This morning the charge was gone (never posted) and then just now re-appeared by itself.

Should I make anything of that?
 
Pissed Off

Anybody else royally pissed off not getting there IPhone today?

I believe its the + that has the November dates. At-least in my case it is.
 
I just checked my order status and now I have a tracking number. FedEx picked it up this morning in Texas. Arriving on Monday! Monday is better than October.

Had shipping dates : 10/13-10/31
Ordered: in store around 12pm 9/12
Iphone 6 64gb space grey
 
Not a huge surprise really about this 6+ delay/shortage.if you read the front page(macrumors) all summer they've been saying there was a very good chance there was gonna be a initial shortage of 6+.
 
iphone6 next to my iPhone5
