iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Sprint Pre-Order Thread!

[caramellhoney]

Wow. That's even better news! Hope you enjoy.

I am slowly sorting through what apps to stick on the 6+ (I did not restore the 4S stuff on it as I know some apps are no longer being updated by the devs).

It was and ordeal, the first store I went to on Wed I did leave empty handed but it was best buys computer system that failed. They ended up transferring the device to a closer store for me and I picked up last night.
I'm coming from a note 3 so everything is completely different. I haven't had an iPhone since the 4s lol. I keep trying to hit the invisible back button.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I keep trying to hit a "back" button to go back. I know some apps have a back arrow but for the rest, you are SOL. lol And it's not like I don't actively use my iPad all the time at work, although I do use the GalaxyTab 10.1 more at home (the 4S was more and more used for streaming or the camera).

been lurking for years...made an account just for this post..

order: 75056----
i ordered in the am right after the sprint site went back live for pre orders...right away i got the standard 4-6 weeks, been that way since.

after reading all the posts about cancelling pre-orders and going to target i had my mind set on cancelling my order today and going to my local target instead.

BUT...this morning, just about 5 mins ago i received my tracking number from sprint in my email

It's encouraging hearing shipping numbers are trickling out again. There seemed to be a straight week of radio silence. Thanks for the update.

 

[psvillars]

an update when i originally received my tracking number it was set to be delivered tuesday, i just got an update a little while ago stating that it was going to be delivered TOMORROW so i guess now you can take me off that list. anybody with tracking numbers today getting theirs shipped next day air?

iPhone 6 Plus 16GB Space Gray ordered at 1AM PST on 9/12 has finally shipped. It hasn't appeared on Sprint.com yet but when I search by account number under packages on UPS the tracking number comes up under the other iPhone 6 Plus I already received.

Update: Tracking now shows on Sprint.com. Glad to finally see the 16GB Space Grays shipping out!

I don't understand how Apple is selling their iPhones with out even having them? Or selling them to all their customers while the ones who preordered wait multiple weeks? IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. And then they open up in many other countries, without fulfilling orders in the first country. Apple needs to hire more workers and add more assembly lines because this is outrageous!!


This quote is from a Foxconn worker, where Apples iPhones are assembled:

"The key contract manufacturer of devices designed by Apple Inc. employs more than 1 million workers in China, where they’re running roughly 100 assembly lines around the clock to catch up on pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the latest models of Apple’s smartphone, according a report Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal.

“We have been churning out 140,000 iPhone 6 Plus and 400,000 iPhone 6 every day, the highest daily output ever, but the volume is still not enough to meet the preorders,” said a person familiar with the matter, according to the Journal."

O B V I O U S L Y, they need more workers and assembly lines!!!!!

I made my order from sprint.com on 9/15. I got the iPhone 6+ 16gb space gray. I haven't gotten anything in the two weeks since, except for the confirmation number. Which is 751110. So add me to your list because I have a feeling we're all going to be here for a while.

Preorder

Although I believe all of us who preordered are in the same boat, those of us who ordered the first 2 days and haven't received anything yet, are in the crappiest situation. They basically guaranteed our phones being to us by now and we are just sitting here.

 

[Criv2014]

Ordered on 9/14 6+ sg 64g 4-6 week waiting as everyone else looked at the Idevice no phones No where even close to me so I'm stuck waiting the 4-6 weeks

Happy to see someone got tracking on the phone I ordered. Nothing for me yet. My order wasn't until 10:26cst .. hope they go down the line quickly.

 

[Criv2014]

Soooo bored of waiting for my phone to come
#Iphone6plusproblems.
Also checked out a sprint store and was told the same wait time of like 3-4 weeks.tho I got to see one on display, but they were " out of stock "

Well I mean you did agree to give them your money and they do warn you that they were delaying phones... You're barely into the second week..If i were you I wouldn't hope anything until you get to 4 weeks

Those who saw the 4 to 6 week message should not be complaining. You should only be complaining if they told you that you would have it within 2 weeks
If one complains of paying upfront, they agreed to pay that upfront. No one held a gun to your head and said buy this phone now and wait x amount of time. Most of us should have bought it on launch day

I got quoted 2 to 3 weeks when I bought it and not complaining here. Just waiting patiently and reading through the thread. Didn't say it to be mean or anything. It will be 3 weeks on Saturday for me.

Haha don't worry about it! it is that I noticed how you said others like you are in the 'crappiest' situation..I usually associate that type behavior with one who is not satisfied with whatever scenario. Didn't say it to be mean or anything. One should not complain until 3 week quote time is up. After that 3 week time, I recommend that one should complain with the company they filed their order with. Good luck

Barely into the second week? What are you talking about?

We were quoted 4-6 weeks from the day we preordered (September 12th), not from the day the phone was released (September 19th). We are well PAST the second week, my friend. We are already three days into the third week. Get it together.

He already got his phone so he is probably in a good mood

And that's cool, I completely understand where he is coming from, but he is also just flat out wrong. LOL.

New to the Forum

Im new to this Forum, but I ordered an iPhone 6+ 64GB SG at 10:15am EST in the store. I feel like I'm getting on Sprint's nerves by calling all the time. However, everytime I call I get different responses and I dont understand why some people are getting thier phone before me when I ordered before them!! So frustrating. What was the point of the pre-order? As of 10:00am today I still havent received anything/email. Gonna call again at 3pm and see if the store has recieved it. Anyone out there order after me but have theirs yet? Maybe if I get your Order Number and give to the Sprint Store they might believe me when I tell them people are jumping me in line.

 

[Evilone]

Yeah I agree. I am sure Apple/Sprint knew their supply and they should've stopped taking pre-orders when they cannot honor them. Sprint is ridiculous to take people's money and giving them a 4-6 weeks wait. I am glad I canceled my pre-order. I am just going to wait until the dust settles.

Which date did you order if I might ask? You probably made the mistake of ordering it in-store. From what I've heard so far, none of the stores have received any 6+ and are not expecting to receive any until another 3 weeks (I checked over the weekend in New Jersey). Most people who are getting tracking numbers are people who ordered them on the website or via telesales. It is best to cancel your pre-order at the store (also ask them to reset your upgrade eligibility) and use idevicechecker.com to check the supplies near your area. It has worked for a lot of people here.

 

[theotheraccount]

Please update my status!
I used iDeviceChecker and went by Best Buy on Saturday. I didn't call ahead since I was on the way, but would recommend doing so. Got there, set up an appointment (was actually on the phone with Sprint to cancel my order during the whole time), was in and out in 20 minutes. It couldn't have been any smoother. Got one of three 6+ 64GB SG's they had left.

This week will pack up my old 5 to sell back to Sprint.

I ordered on 9/12/14. I was the first pre-order the store got 1 for me and 1 for my wife (iPhone 6 16gb Gold). Obviously she got hers right away. The only problem with idevicechecker.com is that it hasnt been trustworthy for me in Atlanta. I saw a few were available and went there and there wasnt any. Also, I can only upgrade with the "easy pay" option. So I have to use Sprint. Its stupid the stores get later then Online...its the same freaking company...shouldnt it be one big master list?

Yeah. You would think think that things worked that way. Perhaps each store has their own separate pre-order list and one master list at sprint for telesales and website. And the stores probably fill their pre-orders as they receive shipments. I am guessing here so the wait could be longer. I would advice you to call the store you find on idevicechecker to check the inventory before you go there. Good luck.

If that turns out to be the case they're going to have to deliver my phone to my grave because 3 more weeks waiting may just kill me. Actually my wife will kill me because we'll be paying two full phone bills in October at this rate. I never should have tried to switch from at&t, lesson learned.

You're not on the third week until this Friday bro..look at the calendar ..either that or I'm legitimately confused lol
EDIT: wait nvm lol I was legitimately confused ..well those of you who got quoted 2-3 weeks are now welcome to complain haha

And that's cool, I completely understand where he is coming from, but he is also just flat out wrong. LOL.

I'm only 'flat out' incorrect in the fact we are in the third week. Therefore if one is in the 4 to 6 week quote time they should not complain. If one is in the 2 to 3 week period they may complain. LOL. #
