Well I imagine #3 in line ain't too shabby for an ATT store pick up 1 of 4 possible models I'll go with.
Got a tip for us?

Or--and this is a stretch--we could be all be financially stable and enjoy the phone for ourselves without a thought in the world about what anyone else thinks about what we spend our money on.
They did last year, so I'd expect them to...with the new sizes it's hard to know without holding it in your hands.
Great catch thisrocks, the phone is fine.....thank goodness.
With so much misery in this world, and many of us having to deal with multiple levels of stress in our daily routines, is it so wrong to revel and enjoy this time of year?
Seriously...Many of us enjoy getting up at an odd time in the am and hitting refresh on the App Store numerous times in our quest to obtain the newest device from our favorite ecosystem. And yes..We get excited to track the shipment from China and it's all in good fun.
For those who insist on trying to belittle our little special time of the year by making us feel like outcasts or inferior...stop pissing on our parade and find something that makes you happy.
Merry
Xmas everyone!so did they have 64gb??or 128? Did you want 16?lined up at a major telco outlet....time to play the waiting game.
They had a few 6+'s but only one space grey for me (8th in line) ...16gb
Had a play, not sure i want the 6+ now but i'm sure i'll get used to it. At my local apple store there were over 1000 people queuing, pretty much everyone at the front was flipping the phone's they were going to buy so i left my 300th spot for a chance at a telco (as above). 6+ supplies are tiny.
Edit:
That said, i should have pre-ordered. I wanted to line-up and capitalise on this brief peaceful and super prosperous time in history where i can have a life, have a job, and also spend a few hours out of my morning to line-up with some like-minded fanatics that i rarely get to see in the wild otherwise.
I am totally happy with the size of my 4s. That might be it. I'm not totally happy with its speed in certain apps, app refreshing, battery life, camera, keyboard, lack of airdrop, lack of touch ID, and lack of apple pay (if it catches on). But that's just me.
Should have seen the line into the car park ...
There would have been about 40 people in the reserved line at the Chermside Apple Store. For the ones like me that just showed up before the store opened this morning expecting a long wait but able to collect the new iPhone today - it wasn't going to happen. An Apple representative said before opening they have sold out of the iPhone 6 Plus and only have iPhone 6 available. I recommend to reserve or purchase online. I was happy to wait and hoped to see a Senior Apple staff member from Cupertino but it was a disappointment. Next time I will save myself the 260 kilometre round trip and just buy online

well the 5c is the same as the 5. of course i upgraded and if anything it's a tiny bit faster.
This makes absolutely no sense to me
Waiting in a queue when you could have just ordered it over the internet and received it in your home in a couple of weeks or so.
Over night? Wow! Stupidity loves company....

Apple stores obviously had a lot more than one 6+
Otherwise the first world howling would would be heard in Antarctica. Apple stores would have had a lot, but not enough.
The media report was (probably deliberately) vague to cause angst, like all the journo-vultures do these days.
Probably the stores with only one 6+ were the crazy johns or virgin mobile outlets in suburbs far outside the goat cheese belt that the journalist lives in.

As I just put in my Twitter channel,
in the UK 3 Network has been struggling to fulfil some pre-orders but are expecting daily deliveries. according to a salesman Apple didn't supply enough stock.
I turn around and saw about 6 people going in to O2 at 8am grinning for the new iPhone. this is drastically less than past iPhone launches. Could be more people are buying sim free directly from Apple due to poor tariffs.

I bought my iPhone with money I have, so I can use it, because it's better than the one I had, and I couldn't really care less what other people think.
That said, I ordered it online and it's coming today - I think a lot of the people in line today are hoping for a 6+ and are going to be very disappointed.
I suspect based on what I saw at the MK apple store this morning, a few more may end up at the carriers because I'd hazard by now they've run out of stock, given over an hour ago they only had 64GG SG 6's left for "some" people in the queue.
I'd prefer to keep unlocked, I'm contemplating getting a three sim to see what the speeds are like in the areas I need a signal. Will see what EE can tempt me with SIM only wise as well - the wifi calling for example might be handy as the signal in parts of my house could be better...
Well apparently according to this rep 64gb is basically gone, and they don't seem to know what stock they have coming. Apple is sending units but 3 have no idea of the configuration.
I am going for another look around in a bit to see what is going on. So far not a completely smooth launch ( but if it was then it would feel weird )
