iPhone 6 Plus Shipping Times Improve Slightly, Now 7 to 10 Days for 16GB Model

iPhone 6+ is a killer!

The iPhone 6+ is a killer, literally! Apple focused so much on this device that is going to hurt them and their most loyal customers. As the recent article a study indicates that iPhone 6+ is not that really popular other than Asians. All these noise about customers wanting a bigger iPhone are the Android users, of course they are the most annoying and loudest as usual. Same as true sometimes in politics those who wants change are in minority and they are the loudest people that catches media attention. Most likely once they got what they wanted they are not gonna stop, they keep pushing and pushing until they want more. Apple is not used to be like this they are focused in a few products then if you want it buy and and enjoy, if not there are other choices.
They wasted their resources to work on these device that started hurting them now and in the future. Imagine adding more OS features for iPhone 6+ compared to the iPhone 6. That resources would have been used for a better iOS update instead of all the problems they caused to some users. iPhone 6+ will also hurt iPad sales too in the future. I've talked to my friends who already got and are planning to get iPhone 6+ is no longer interested on iPad, why, they already have a bigger screen. This is the very reason why Android tablets are not popular because their phones are huge. This is just the beginning and the domino effect will later on be felt. Just like this who suffers from not getting their 128GB iPhone are the people who are actually the people who are loyal and tech geeks. Who gets the gratification of getting their phone quicker of course the 16GB customers the non-techy, non-loyal, bandwagoners. Gone are the days where the most loyal fans and customers are no longer priority. Hopefully it's not too late before Apple realized these mess they made and go back to their roots.

How long will it take to ship

My first post here...

So I Ordered my 6 Plus , 64 GB, T-mobile , on 20 Nov, from Apple's website.

Back then , the shipping time was 3-4 weeks, and 1 extra week for delivery.

Now that it has improved to 2-3 weeks, should i expect my iPhone to be at my door before December 17th ? What are the odds ?
(I'm worried because I'm Flying at that date).

Just back from a local government software conference in San Diego, with people from all over North America and Canada. There were a lot of 6+s out there. Certainly preferred by those out of California by a large margin.

Anyway, not scientific, but 6+ was certainly in the majority.

Wait until iOS 9 comes out and you don't have enough free space to do an OTA update. Not everyone uses iTunes.

You don't need a certified one-year usage of iTunes to use it to update iOS devices, you just need a computer to install it on.

What you might have meant is that not everyone is able to read and understand the on-screen instructions (I think there were some accompanying the device-full warning) which tell you to connect the phone to computer, and then hit the upgrade button in iTunes.

Indeed...

How frustrating... Mobile providers really do have you over a barrel.
It's a bit better managed in the UK these days, with regulator rules on their customer service in relation to things like migration between providers..

In Denmark it's very very easy to change and not really major limitations in the coverage in the one instead of the other.

It's immoral to keep the base model at 16GB !6 years! in a row.

Is this meant sardonically?

Apple offered 8GB models pretty much continuously until this September, when the 8GB 4S, introduced a year earlier to replace the 8GB iPhone 4, was discontinued.
