Does anyone know when the embargo on reviews lifts? I think it normally would lift soon but this year is different with the launch happening a week later. I'm really interested in hearing about performance of Safari tabs with the extra RAM, how much faster TouchID is, some photo/video samples, battery life expectations, and what kind of new 3D Touch shortcuts reviewers have unearthed.

As for ordering, I went with the iPhone Upgrade Program. Apple punishes me for doing this by making me drive 120 miles to the nearest Apple Store. I couldn't even pick out which day I wanted to go. My only option was Friday. At least I won't be on contract and get AppleCare+, but Apple really needs to get their crap together for next year. I should be able to fill everything out online and get it in the mail. I should be able to mail-in my old iPhone too. Not everyone lives near an Apple Store. The phone rep said Apple is working towards improving the program in the future and said my feedback would be sent to the decision makers. We'll see.

Ugh. Now AT&T is scaring me.

I ordered the iPhone 6S as soon as Apple started selling them. "Success!", I thought to myself.

After seeing this article on MacRumors I decided to check AT&T's site to see if the status of my order changed...

AT&T's web site (as of a few minutes ago):


Uh, what?

This was ordered, what, over 4 days ago? Shouldn't I have received an email or something if there was a problem with my order?

That crap happened to me when I ordered the 6+ via Premier last year. I went straight to Apple this year.

Exactly this. The nearest Apple Store is 5 hours away, and as much as I would like to use the Apple Upgrade program, that is a bit of a drive. So I went with Verizon's payment plan, added Apple Care (which I was only charged $99, so we will see how that goes), and will pay it off after a year like I did this time.

So it's Apple's fault your country's currency isn't worth what it is on the global market that it used to be?

So say a country like Argentina where their currency drops 70% in value in 6 months... so if the USD equivalent was $900 last year, you're saying it's greedy of Apple to not adjust for comparative currency? So this year they should sell the iPhone for $150 just because people in Argentina live in a country plagued by corruption and currency manipulation? If YOU were a business owner selling into Argentina, would you sell your things for 70% off, likely below cost? Of course not.

Sounds worse when it's more dramatic in those countries, but the USD is stronger this year and some other currencies have weakened significantly. Welcome to a global economy!

Did at any point I say it was Apple's fault? All I implied is that because of the price of the phone in my currency it is too expensive to justify the purchase. I guess instead of saying "I miss the day's when the iPhone was cheaper" I could say "I miss the days when the exchange rate was better" if that would appease you.
 
I read the headline and immediately checked my order status. I was worried to see it hadn't changed. I then read the article and saw it's only happening for non USA peeps. *relief*

It's still $649 for the base model here in the states. Hasn't that always been the price? How are the phones and the tiered pricing on storage any different ($100 for the plus size screen aside)?

Yes I am sure it has been. The exchange rate is brutal in Canada right now. The 16GB 6S is $649USD and $899CAD. Unfortunately the base model is still 16GB (maybe one day it will be 32GB). The 64GB 6S is $749USD while ringing in at $1029CAD. I am not complaining about Apple's pricing on the phones, or saying they are being unfair. I am simply stating I miss the days where the exchange rate was about even. Exchange rate has made the iPhone expensive in Canada. Too expensive for myself to justify spending over $2000 to upgrade two phones. In the end it is okay, we will just use our iPhone 5S longer.

If I remember correctly when the 4/4S/5/5S came out the exchange rate was fairly even, and the prices of the phones were maybe an extra $50-100 in Canada. Just imagine how up in arms people would be in the US if you found out that every time new iPhones came out the prices were higher than the year before. Yes exchange rates are a fact of life but it gets old seeing the prices on iPhones go up every year.

Well who sets pricing and who's responsible for currency devaluation? Apple or your country's weakening economy.. but either way, your statement is inaccurate. The phone wasn't cheaper, your currency was just worth more. And they came out with additional models that were more expensive. You can head down to the store right now and buy the 5S for $450 brand new, that's the cheapest an iPhone has ever been. So to say the price has gone up is an inaccuracy. Apple has come out with bigger models. I wish the 27" iMac was the price of the old iMac (the 17") ... but it's a bigger, better product. I can still buy a small iMac for cheaper, but I don't hold it against Apple for charging more for the big one.
 
Mine is still in the processing state but with 9 days to go I wasn't expecting anything to change just yet.
 
From reading the post it looks like that UK, because US order are preparing for shipping and Apple USA
i don't think will start that status until Beginning of next week.
