Cue the $10K prices on eBay tomorrow
Just play with the iPhone at the Apple store for 1 hour a day until you get sick of it. Works for me.

Yep. Until just before the keynote, analysts still speculated that Apple would hold the 6 Plus back longer due to the low production yields.
Now people complain that Apple decided to launch it despite the low production yields. Perhaps they should have released it a month later, then the whining volume in this forum would have been significantly lower. But on the other hand, people like me would not have an iPhone 6 Plus tomorrow, just because Apple wanted to shut up a few whiners.
Yeah, I'm sure the Apple stores will be much better stocked. Although as a basic point, I have no doubt the Plus is going to be harder to get then the regular 6, like we saw in the pre orders.
My advice is to not open it and sale it for big bucks. It's really not that serious. It's just a larger iPhone. It's not like a new never seen before product. Once people realize that in store stock will be available in a few days/weeks.
I just wanna walk in without waiting...unlike those freaks waiting in long line for a week...
I'd rather take in the whining and still be able to receive my PLUS in hand tomorrow as well. It's only natural that there will be a limited amount of stock especially since before the apple site went up most of the PLUS models were already slipping in shipment dates. That's not to say I don't feel for the people on here and around the world that probably won't be getting one. I'd probably be having a mini fit myself to be honest. But just like anything else people will lose interest in it and grow bored it's what makes us as humans wanting.
sounds like apple been really lazy if that was the case...imo i know they intentionally didn't produce much just so they can watch these mad cow disease go wild in apple store. Apple knows how many they need to produce..but didn't feel like it.
My Apple Store
So my store's manager says they no NOTHING of stock; (liesssss alllll lies) although that could be true if the shipment won't come in until tonight! They said the line will start forming at 9; I'm going to go at like 5:30 and begin my campout to be one of the first; I PRAY they have a 64 / 128 White Silver or Space Grey....the Gold is FUGLY! Which is ironic because EVERYONE loved the gold last year... all about the form factor I suppose. Now I'm surprised that I'm going to wait in line that long as I've never done that and I've been with Apple since iPhone 4... so should be an experience for sure. Taking some food; games; etc...

Yea whatever happened to 1080p after the keynote? Did he get tarred and feathered and told to get out of the forum by sundown? lol
The more I realize how many stores won't have the PLUS the more it makes me accept my decision of ordering that model. It's as if all the hype makes me feel different and gets me even more excited. Trust me I've had some second guessing going through my head because I just received some cases and my god is this a huge phone. At least I don't have an iPad mini like some.
I agree. I really wish that upon coming back to Apple in 1997 that Steve Jobs had spent more time and resources building an online store in which customers could order the products that they want and have it shipped directly to them.
Also, Apple could implement some type of pre-ordering system for these launches. Imagine how cool it would be if you could go online and simply tell them which one you want. You could then pick it up in the store or have it shipped right to your doorstep.
I think we're onto something here. Lets send a letter to Tim Cook.
Serious question: What are the odds of being scammed if I try to sell my 128GB Plus online? What is the best website to sell it on? These things are starting to go for a lot of money. I could just use my wife's upgrade because she doesn't want a bigger iPhone anyway, but I'd have to keep waiting which isn't good since I already traded in my 64GB 5 on Amazon for $340.
The most ironic thing about 1080p (the user who kept saying that) is that the Plus turned out to be 1080p. Makes me want to believe the whole thing was an inside job.
