Apple order status hasn't changed however on my ups choice tracking says it has and it will be delivered by the 25th end of day.

End of day? Wtf. What happened to morning shipments?
 
For some reason AT&T is shipping their iPhones overnight on the 24th for a 25th delivery date. Wonder why they're doing overnight shipping. Wouldn't that be more expensive?

They also sold me the new AppleCare for 99 instead of 130 so whatever. They're making some odd choices that I won't complain about!

They're probably shipping overnight because they don't have their stock of phones yet.
 
So glad I get a break from all this stress/excitement this year by switching out of the S cycle. Hope you guys enjoy it though!


2 year contracts are pretty much dead now. with ATT next, and apple's new program (same price), you pay the same amount each month and are able to upgrade every year for "free." Now you don't have to choose between the S cycle and the "new" cycle. :)

Lol how can we help? I hope you get it asap but there isn't anything, anyone can do.

I second that, I don't know why rileyLAWLOR is getting stressed out given that the Plus is always in short supply - I was going to purchase a Plus until my carrier said that they had no ETA on when it'll become available so I just went for the standard one instead (I'm going through the carrier because of their 12/24 months interest free that comes through their billing).
 
Meanwhile I'm here with a bunch of others who ordered the plus via Att site and we're looking at a month out. People have contacted Att CS and they stand by the late Oct ship dates due to phone screen issues. Att gets their own model with LTE 30 band which might also be creating a delay.
 
my order status is still "preparing for shipment" but the iPhones i ordered are already in my support profile.

I think they are probably on their way and apple just hasn't updated the order status.
 
Please help... I think I'm getting screwed! I ordered mine Right At 12:01. I was done by 12:02:51 Pacific standard time. 3:02:51 EST. I'm they told me at first it was Sep. 25. then 3 days ago they pushed it back 4 weeks???

Bet you went thru AT&T.
 
Went through tmobile called at 12 waited 30 minutes to place my order was done by 12:40.
I got my tracking info today it's supposed to be overnighted. As of right now the order is "processed and ready for ups" and has an ETA of Monday coming from LOUISVILLE, KY. I'm sure Monday is incorrect the date will probably change once it's actually in transit can't imagine getting the phone that early.

Tried, but without success ;)
 
Mines still preparing for shipment - nothing on UPS My Choice just yet.

The majority of the time, UPS just says 'by end of day' for me too without giving any indication of a time slot :(.

If you sign up for my UPS then they give you a slightly more accurate slot however this requires them to send you a letter first in order to verify your address.

In my experience, UK Mail have the best system as they have a graphic showing where the driver is and give a one hour time slot.

Hi. I had a similar issue ordering the 6s+ Rose Gold and was informed today that I'd be waiting until early November at the latest. I have T-Mobile and did not order directly through Apple. I experienced a similar situation last year, wrote a letter to T-Mobile customer relations and received $100 off my phone for being inconvenienced. Hope this helps.

This year I am going to try out the T-Mobile Jump On Demand program for 2 iPhones 6S+. I like the way it is structured at 18 month payments and a lump sum payment. Not sure I would ever take advantage of upgrading 3 times a year though.

If you live in a densely populated area most will ship night before or day of from the distribution center. No need to worry u will get your phone
