iPhone 6 Plus Reportedly in Very Short Supply for In-Store Launch
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
True that and with the low yields of the screens, which isn't really their fault not sure why people are blaming them so much - in a few months supply will be up.
To be fair, mines coming tomorrow, but learn some patience guys!
No kidding, way to feed the hype machine MacRumors. Apple paying you to rehash this garbage?Underestimated demand ?
I want to see the Plus before I open my 6 tomorrow, just to make sure I made the right choice. Hopefully the Verizon reseller in my tiny town will have one on display, or even have a few in stock, just in case I change my mind. I still think the Plus is going to be laughably big.
A 6+ 128gb just sold for $1950 on ebay
It seems like I remember seeing some people camping out in Best Buy's parking lot last year about this time. Nothing this year.
Hmm maybe I should sell my unlocked GSM 6+ 128gb space gray that I'm picking up tomorrow from UPS. I can wait til November if I make a nice little profit on it.
I can wait til November if I make a nice little profit on it. Cue the $10K prices on eBay tomorrow
Hopefully, I'll be able to find one on Monday! I can't get it until then
Of course you'll be able to get one. On eBay. For $10,000.
I really have to give up my job and go for a career in fraud. There are too many people who like to buy bridges at lovely discounts, and there are so many bridges to sell.
Not surprising- with the unlocked version near $1,000 direct through Apple anyways.
Demand exceeding supply. How many other electronics manufactures do you think would love to have this 'problem'.
Hint: All the ones who produce products with an on/off button.
I don't know if it is any indication, but my local BB had phones ONLY for those that had preordered for the 5. No extra stock, not even display models.
Mr. Cook didn't promise delivery to the entire world population. They are still meeting their promise of a 9/19 delivery. You just may or may not be part of the group that will be taking delivery.
Nice, make the 16GB $300, but only stock the $400 64GB. Meanwhile the Android competitors are half the price or less. I'm used to paying a premium for Apple products - I've been doing it since the 90s. 125-150% is the norm. But 200% more? Apple's iOS market share is only going to keep going down...
Just talked to a UPS driver who delivered only 8 cases of 10 phones each to an AT&T Corporate Store. So, only 80 iphones 6/+ all colors and sizes. And he said that after talking to a couple of employees, that most, if not all of those were already sold. He also delivered to an authorized retail store like 2 cases. Glad I preordered.

"no 16GB iPhone 6 Plus devices to be found"
At least that's sort of good news 16GB iPhone 6 is lame, but not starting at 32 in the Plus borders on insanity.
I know 16 is enough for some people—but leave it to the bottom models!
iPhones 200% more? You have to REALLY cherry-pick specs and ignore a lot to get that conclusion! You're not paying for a bullet list of 3 specs, but for ALL the specs, and especially real-world performance, construction quality, image quality/color, size/weight, real-world battery life, TouchID, bundled software, etc. The same things that make one Android phone cost more than another of the same capacity and screen size. Except the iPhone has numerous features that NO Android phone can truly match. Checklists don't tell the story: one fingerprint reader is not like another, a creaky plastic shell is not like metal, Pentile displays are not like true RGB, etc. etc.

Now that you are saying my 2 AT&T Iphone 6 phones with estimated shipping of Oct-10 are shipping NOW from Texas.
Pleasantly surprise
You seem to think that the demand for the 6 Plus is huge. You should read the reviews... practically every reviewer gave the 6 Plus a lower rating than the 6. Not because it is slower, has a worse display, a sucky camera, a terrible battery, etc. No. On the contrary. The only reason was: "It's too big." That was enough to rate the faster phone with the better display, camera and battery half a star lower. And a LOT of people think like that.
For the record, I preordered a 6 Plus myself. But I am quite sure I belong to the minority.
I think only the space gray model has a black face or front. That can make a meaningful difference in viewing what's on screen, IMHO.
