They do seem to be milking it this time around. I suspect stock levels will hold out just fine until more realistic tariffs emerge.
Got a tip for us?

I ordered the same phone (Space Gray for mine) with AppleCare at 7am Eastern Time (US) and the order went through with no issue and will arrive on the launch day of the 25th.
Preordered my 64gb iPhone 6S Plus in gold! Now going to get the dock and saddle brown case with it, spending a lot on the phone so why not go all out
I have the same thing. Been waiting since 3:10 am EST for confirmation email.Is anyone else's order in the 'processing' stage? Got an email confirmation for the order but I just want to make sure my card has been approved
Just says 'order status may be delayed'...
Had a similar message when I ordered my AppleWatch but it did arrive on first day of availability.
Hoping this is same situation.
I ordered 64gb 6s as an upgrade from O2. The new 30gb tariff is pretty steep but at least don't have to worry about running out of data + it includes insurance and if I understood correctly you can upgrade again next year. Got the rose gold in a moment of madness. In all pictures it looks very pink and would prefer more coppery colour like on the Apple watch. Delivery was promised on 25th but yet to receive confirmation.
it's funny how people always say this... especially when they have the previous model.
can the screen physically vibrating be emulated? how about the faster processor? stronger aluminum? more ram? better camera?

Jealous of everyone ordering. I'm not eligible for an upgrade until March. I think I'm just going to hold out for the iPhone 7. The 5s handles iOS 9 pretty well.
According to http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
The AT&T model is A1633 and the other major carriers is A1638.
I ordered the T-Mobile contract free model but have AT&T. I did this because apparently I can't have an AT&T phone shipped to an address other than the billing address (a few states away). Ridiculous. I'm guessing I should cancel my pre order?
Gotta say I was surprised. Slept through my alarm, and didn't hit the store until after 9am, six hours after they went on sale. Was still able to snag a 64GB Silver 6s with delivery on the 25th no worries. Either Apple's better prepared this year, or the sales aren't as brisk.
Stock seems good this year. There weren't any concrete rumors about shortages and it looks like everyone who really wants one is able to get one. Shaping up to be one of the best launches yet.
LOL right now I can buy a 64GB 6S+ Gold for $850 and pick it up at the local Apple Store on 9/25, my order at 4:48am with AT&T is mid October. Such crap. I'm considering canceling. And paying the $850 since I'll pay almost 1200 for the same phone with a 2 year contract.
I preordered the 64GB 6S in Rose Gold last night and selected the option of picking it up in store. It seems like it went through, and I got an email saying the phone was reserved. However, when I go into the Apple store app and click on "reservations", it says my account doesn't currently have any reservations in place. Is this normal?
It will still work. You just won't get LTE band 30, which AT&T is just starting to roll out to supplement its coverage in congested areas.
My guess is that it is a combination of both. With no major change to the manufacturing process other than the different kind of aluminum (which is an easy change) they could ramp up production sooner. Plus, unlike the 6 launch, with its pent up demand for larger phones, this is a more "normal" upgrade, and Apple had a better sense of the proportion of 6s vs 6s Plus to build than last year. They were confident enough to include China in the initial launch, unlike last year. In total, I expect Apple to announce first weekend sales similar to last year because China sales will be included.
I wouldn't panic over the shipping date. Until it actually ships, AT&T's delivery estimates are pretty unreliable. I had the same experience last year and I received both phones I ordered on launch day.
I just got my confirmation email at 8:31 am central. I ordered at 3:04 am.
I feel better now. I ordered so fast once I got in. I was worried I would get kicked off.
All my details were right. I ordered the right iPhone.
