I ordered an iPhone 6 via Apple and I currently have a 5S that is still under contract, but I upgraded using the NEXT program. I just submitted an unlock request and it was immediately approved by AT&T. It took about two minutes and two emails. I was under the impression that I had to wait 14 days after ordering, but it was approved. I hope this helps someone. Cheers.

you are lucky, took me a week to get my iPhone's unlocked after 2 year contract!
 
I actually had to call in twice to try and unlock my old 4s after updating to the 6. Doing it thru the website netted me a email stating a 14 day waiting period. By calling in they were able to unlock my old 4s on the spot.
