iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

Right on. If we're getting the phone on Friday I really don't think we'll even know until Friday...based on Sprint's history with providing tracking info.

I'm fully expecting to receive an email with my tracking info the day after whenever my phone arrives.

Okay, I wasn't attacking you. I was just asking because you claimed "most major reviewers" but, outside of Apple's buddies Pogue or the WSJ, then I was curious who else.

I like Engadget and The Verge reviews but they didn't seem to have it that long. So, considering that adjusting to a new form factor on an old OS takes time, I was just curious who is actually on that list.

I'm sure both of them have had their review units just about a week too. Most likely received them right after the Apple event.
 
My tracking has been saying that my iPhone is still in China for the past few days :(... I'm supposed to receive it friday... Seems unlikely now
 
well the normal new day and refreash everything the same nothing new nothing will change. So the rest of the day for everyone is speculate have fun
 
So this is interesting.

On the UPS Site, when I put my order number in minus the last two digits and instead of searching for a package under the reference tool, I searched for Mail Innovations. The results say that they found 1 package under this reference, but that a tracking number isn't available (not all tracking information is available).

I ordered the 6+ 64GB Space Grey. So not sure if I should take this as good news or not but at least I got a result.

It doesn't work for me either

Me either....I can be patient. I ordered my iphone 6 16gb space gray @ 4:15 am last Friday. My first pre order experience. Luckily I am just upgrading my phone so I have one and can wait until it arrives.

I get why people are anxious but clearly sprint will continue to lag on updates so I would try to relax until tomorrow. I am also getting the same generic message that most are getting now re order status. When I get my tracking I will post, if I get it....or post when my phone arrives.

On a side note.....I left apple to switch to a samsung note 2 a little under two years ago. I came back due to them now finally offering larger screens. Plus I didn't like android as much as apple iOS....it's just not as good in my opinion. I found that I didn't necessarily need that much screen size so I am going w smaller iphone. But for all you 6 plus buyers...you get used to the bigger phone pretty quick.

Got this screen shot from a friend this morning.
Pre-ordered on the 12th, finally got into the Sprint site around 4:30am.

How are you searching it? eg... DM60-O-xxxxxxxxxxxx or just after the dm60-0 part? eg 123238432 Because i can do the part after the 0- and it shows 3 packages for that reference range of course no information.
 
I've tried all combinations of my shipping number in the UPS Tracking to no avail. Maybe it's shipping FedEX. :)

Ok I was being snarky but not trying to be mean. Apologize it came across as harsh.

IMO all reviewers had it a week. Here's another example:https://twitter.com/verge/status/512244408079880192

They just don't always explicitly state how long they had it but apple usually provides access to publicly announced devices at same time to these people. Now devices that aren't pubicly announced are shared with a very small set of people and typically not allowed off campus.

In other news my 128GB iphone 6 plus still hasn't changed on sprint's tracking site and CC still shows pending and UPS and FedEx still hasn't picked anything up with any number I enter in for reference.

Most people here know by now u can get a free UPS my choice account that based off the info you provide will auto update with packages coming your way however until last night I didn't know FedEex offered this feature.

If you Download the mobile app for either iphone or iPad and create a new account and then within the app go to menu and near the bottom is a way to set up alerts.

That's something I'll be able to use for a long time so hope that helps others.
 
So I did my upgrade around 10AM EST on Friday for the 6 Space Grey 16GB. I did the I Phone for Life Plan, I had a dollar pending charge on my account that went away today. Any insight on if this is a bad sign. My order status on sprint.com has remained this since Friday:

885909951017 IPHONE 6 GRAY 16GB KIT 1 2014-09-12

You're fine. The dollar charge is to check that your account is valid.

I'm jelly. I didn't get my order in until 8am PST. I had to add a line to my family plan, and so the site crashing was too difficult to ALSO make that step in the process. Was on the phone for 3 hours before Sprint finally talked to me. I'm guessing 4 hours after him is a HUGE difference in the pre-order world.

But yeah, this is still encouraging regardless.
 
So just checked ups and used my account number and took off last two digits and and did the mail option under track by reference and it came up with a package picked up on August 19th. Thinking this isn't my iPhone.
