You have an iPhone 6+ that's shipping that was from 8 hours after the launch? That would mean a lot of people who think they are going to have to wait would likely get theirs on launch day.
Got a tip for us?

Ok just text chat with Sprint, asked about if I would get new Iphone plus 6 on Friday after about 15 min of waiting lady came back and said 4-6 weeks, I said even tho I order it 45 min after start time, said yes. At that point was ready to reach through PC and strangle the woman.. Called Sprint got ahold of a guy seem to know what he was talking about, stated that as long as you order your Phone before 11am C.S.T. Of the 12 you will get the phone on Friday.... Will wait and see hopefully this true...... Good luck everybody!
I must have chatted with the same person because he said the same thing. That there is a 4-6 week delay. Even though my first email said it would ship within 3 weeks.
If it's really random, then come on phone gods, bless me with an early shipment. I don't have a phone right now, screw others that have an iPhone 4 or 5 and just want their shiny new gadget early. Give it to me first! Muahhaa
I actually had my order in before you, and mine isn't shipped. This makes me very sad.
Was it a 16gb model by chance? I got my order in before you, but over the phone. Was 16gb + model though.
I see...hopefully online orders prior to that are getting fulfilled, but I have a feeling that you found a way that got you bumped to the front of the line.
Thanks for the info.
What u just said makes me wonder if the batches are done by region. Kinda makes sense but if and only if they're still abiding everyone's order in line.
It's kinda hard to put into words what I'm thinking but let's say the first 20,000 orders are shipped today (hopefully more then that). Their system shows who's in line and where they are located. So they ship X amount that's going to west coast first (example only) so orders 10, 29, 34 etc from that location were shipped.
The orders from east coast (only an example) with orders 3, 24, 33 etc.. Are next to be shipped.
This is purely speculative and this theory is based upon the fact they are honoring order time frames.
Otw
I ordered two 128GB 6+ on the IPFL plan, and one has a tracking number - the space gray, which is the second one I ordered. Still nothing on the Gold.
Placed my orders around 4:30 am MST on the 12th.

That's a good theory. I'm in Wisconsin and I will say, I haven't seen anyone who has a tracking number say "midwest" yet.
I wonder why the lowest model (16gb) seems to be less stock than the bigger models.
Look at mr grumpy pants here. :3

I was wondering too. I am in Nashville and if they are coming from Louisville they can probably get it out later and still get it here Friday.
I'm just glad those of us who have been sprint for 10-15 years get the first chance at these hard to get orders.Oh that's right, sprint could give a **** unlike tmobile (jump) and at&t's priority ordering.
Sprint truly is the ghetto of cell phone companies, i'm surprised Apple even let's them sell their "status symbol" products.

lol yeah, my family been with Sprint 20 years, that **** don't matter.
Which is fine, I don't really have any loyalty to this company. I only continue using them, as they are the only provider that has good service near my house. I would drop them in a second if someone else better came along.Also keep in mind sprint tracking shows devices already at a major hub. If u tracked via reference and it worked it would've shown it shipping from China however Sprint from what I've seen sends out tracking numbers once it's at a major shipping hub.
Kinda lends credit to my hypothesis regarding how they're being shipped.
As a reminder I'm in the 128GB iphone 6 Plus Space Gray boat and ordered around 355-402am EST and my order number was oy-shso-7505466xx and I'm in TN. Had a hold on account as they needed to confirm I'm me but was reassured no delay.
As of ten min ago no change to CC, UpS my choice, or FedEx mobile.
This makes me wonder if we're SOL. I haven't been able to find anything on the UPS Reference site. Still no tracking. Ordered the 6+ 64gb SG at 5am.
I have a gray 64gb 6 (not plus) coming to Milwaukee and I got my tracking number. I ordered 9/12 morning at 5am cst
All I'm seeing is 64 gb + 128 gb. Yeahhh 16gb + don't exist. Literally, they are an illusion.
Lol it's not about being grumpy. It was just unnecessary for someone to ask others to stop posting information because it doesn't specifically benefit them. That being said we can move on.
I ordered a 6 16GB silver at 3:40AM central on 9/12 and don't have a tracking number yet.
