Why do the AT&T pre-orders get screwed the worst?
I ordered my 6+ 64 GB SG at 3:45 AM EST as soon as I could get through on either Apple site or AT&T. AT&T site available first so I ordered through them. HUGE mistake. Still at 10/2-10/13 back order estimate. Apple must hate AT&T. They obviously get a smaller inventory per customer allotment than any carrier or what Apple allots their own site and stores by far. What is that all about, Apple?

I preordered at 3:25 EST from AT&T. I also have the same shipping date. It sucks big time.

ugh same here ordered on 9/12 for my 64GB gold and it's still on backorder 10/2-10/13. I actually found it at 3 different apple stores in my area over the weekend when checking apple's online status however; at&t won't let me cancel. only orders I see shipping for plus have been mostly premier accounts.
Practicing Patients
I've been on the shipping 10/2 - 10/13 shipping from the get go, keep telling myself it's ok, but I find me self refreshing the order page and calling ever hour to see if they're any changes in my status... and sadly, nothing. Now I'll go back and practice a little more patients.

Yes!
My phone (128 GB Space Gray iPhone 6 Plus, non-Premier) still says "preparing to ship" on ATT with a delivery date of "10/13-10/22," never got a tracking number but my phone just got delivered! I'm so excited!
Just kidding. No phone. Still at "preparing for shipment." Sorry if that was cruel, but I've had my heart pulled along so much this week that I needed to let off a little steam.

Processing isn't quite hell, that is Backorder. Processing is a lot like Limbo, of Apple orders.
Congrats. Did you get it yet? So jealous. Mine won't ship til 11/7 - 11/27. This is pure torture.
Not, yet. It is sitting in Anchorage, AK right now. UPS says that they will deliver it on Thursday 10/2.
Horrible Experience
Mine is listed for late Nov. No help from AT&T customer service. I am one of their better customers but their response is that it was record sales. My response is that doesn't make me feel any better. AT&T Sucks. Go through Apple Store, at least they care there.

My phone just arrived. Restoring my iCloud backup, which as in the past should take several hours to complete. Despite all that mucking about in Asia there were no chopsticks in the box nor the remnants of dried out noodles.

Don't take "you can't cancel now" for an answer! I was in your shoes (128, gold, 6+, stuck on 10/2-13, 877-backordered). I found LOTS of 6+'s in Apple stores in my area (NY) and called AT&T. The rep started to say I couldn't cancel. I cut the guy off and told him not to lie to me, that I *knew* I could cancel because I've seen scads of people doing it in forums.
And poof, inside of a minute he said 'ok you're all set, cancelled.' I asked him how long it'd be for my upgrade eligibility to kick back in and he said immediately. I checked online while on the phone and he was right. Boom.
Drove to the nearest Apple store, waited about an hour (shocked that there were still so many scalpers doing laps on the line) and got precisely the phone I wanted.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you all check local Apple phone stock. It's easy to do - go to store.apple.com, click Buy for the iPhone you want, configure with color, memory and carrier, then all the way at the bottom there'll be a link to check local stock for pickup. Enter your zip and voila.
(BTW the reason I had to wait on line at the store and purchase it there is because Apple's website STILL won't let me do AT&T Next online. If you're doing a new 2-year contract, or perhaps dealing with a different carrier, then you should be able to purchase it online for pickup, which then means you don't have to wait on line when you get to the store).
Enough out of me. Got my 6+ on Wednesday and couldn't be happier.
Good luck to you all!
so i ordered the iPhone 6+ gold 16gb at 12:04 am pacific time 9/12, and i had the late novemeber ship date than got moved to the 10/2-10/13 date with no recent activity, i checked daily about updates called the 877 number yesterday and it said its on backorder and i just called again right now and it said we are currently processing your order now. fingers crossed it comes in next few days. i was about to cancel it because its available at 5 different targets in my area, but i guess i can wait now that i heard its processing. good luck guys
