Has anyone that ordered from T-Mobile gotten their email confirmation yet? I did my order early on via the phone to get the Jump On-Demand special pricing, but have yet to get an email confirmation (only an order number from the representative on the phone).
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Now Available for Pre-Order

As much as I would like better cell reception... I just cancelled my pre-order. My iPhone 6 Plus is still rocking it. I'll wait for the 7 
Well, I begrudgingly ordered a Space Gray 6s 64GB through the myAT&T app this morning (which actually just kicks you over to their website and ends up being more difficult to fill out the order forms than if I had just launched the website on my laptop).
Was happy (I think) to see that sleeping through the launch didn't cause me to miss out on getting one ordered for delivery for the 24th.
I said "begrudgingly" above because I wasn't wow'd by the new 6s (or the new Apple TV), but my daughter's older hand-me-down iPhone recently broke and I told her that if I upgraded I'd give her my iPhone 6. We're still on the older 2-year plans (with two of our three phones on unlimited/throttled data), so I still take advantage of the 2-year contract pricing with one of our three phones being on the odd year. So last year my wife and I got a 6 and 6+ and this year I could upgrade my daughter's line to get myself the new 6s. And to really max out the value advantage of the 2 year plan, I pretty much *need* to take advantage of the upgrades when they become available.
I had been trying out an Android Nexus 5 that I got as a looks-like-new refurb on the cheap as well as a Moto 360 watch and I really like the watch, and liked the look of the Android M UI better than what Jony Ive has done with the iOS UI, but the bugs, poor battery life, and Find Friends and iMessage equivalent apps that weren't nearly as good/accurate as the Apple versions, all combined to push me back to using my iPhone.
So, it's less about me *liking* the iPhone/iOS more than Android, and more about which OS I *dislike* less. Sorry to be buzzkill. Just a bit bummed that I'm shelling out a chunk of money for a phone that I'm not particularly excited about. I'm also worried that 3D touch is going to cause usability issues. Hopefully that's not the case and it turns out to be a genuinely useful feature.

I order the Unlocked T-mobile 128gb 6s in Space Gray. Not realizing that it did not support the new LTE Band 30 that ATT is starting to use. So I ordered the att version also. Guess I will just cancel the T-Mobile one when I get the chance. Unless someone is looking to get a that particular T-mobile model on launch day.
This is my first time ordering from Apple so I don't know if it's normal or not, but I'm in the same boat. Confirmation email received a minute after I completed my order at 12:10am PDT, but 8 1/2 hours later, no reservations showing on my account. My guess is that the store will catch up later.
Got up at 3amEastern to order -- could not get in on Apple site but got through on VZW and had confirmation of 6S 128 in Space Grey by 3:36am with delivery on 9/25.
Yes had to order through APPLE because AT&T (via FOUR different reps) told us to not even bother trying to preorder because AT&T was not doing preorders this year. Only Apple.
Later did we find out that yes, indeed preorders were possible through AT&T.
Seems weird that you can't do a two year contract through Apple. But I had to do the same because there is no way I'm losing my unlimited data plan. I used over 40GB last month
Yes, because it didn't go on preorder until 12:01 PDT so that's the correct time for preorder in your time zone. Just a little FYI ^_^
That's the great thing about adding new LTE bands: it makes very little difference whether your particular device supports it or not. The towers that support band 30 should favor that band for any phone that supports it, freeing up spectrum in the other bands for devices that don't. So as long as there are enough devices to at least proportionally utilize band 30, everyone should benefit equally from the availability of that band.
I placed a reservation for rose gold 64gb 6s. It shows the full price of the phone but I guess when I go to pick it up I can do the whole upgrade program with them. I find the apple upgrade program better because I will not be locked down with att if I later chose to switch carriers or at least that's my assumption on how it works.
Thanks I'm changing my order to the t-mobile phone. That was the last straw from AT&T. They couldn't even fabricate a justification for that fee If they wanted to.
6s+ sold out lot more quickly, so maybe more people are buying the plus version this time.
In any case, there were news stories that Apple ordered LOT more 6s/6s+ compared to 6/6+ last year, so I assume the stock level was higher.
I hope this is the case. It says 10/16/2015 to 10/23/2015 for my 128 GB Space Gray iPhone 6s Plus
Same for me. If I remember correctly, it was the same way when I registered for the Apple Watch try-on appointment. The 'Reservations' area is for the Genius Bar (and maybe classes?) and the product reservations aren't a part of that system.
Are you running a business out of your phone?
You could still cancel and get to AT&T 2 hours before they open on Oct. 25 to get the Plus on the 2-year contract. Last year, I was only an hour early and missed out. The guy after me got the last Plus, but I wanted 3. It's best to go to a store in the mall where 90% of the people are stuck at the Apple store line. Your store will vary.
Someone from another discussion board also said the same thing (that reservations are for the genius bar appointments). Phew! Thanks! Now I can rest easy.
Apple is now accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus through its online storefront and through the Apple Store app. Pre-orders are available in first wave launch countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, the UK, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and Singapore.
All of the major U.S. carriers, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile, are accepting pre-orders for the new devices, but online pre-orders are not available from retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
We haven't heard rumors pointing towards supply constraints for the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, but it's best to make an order right away if possible. In past years, iPhone supplies have dwindled significantly following the kickoff of pre-orders, and with last year's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, 6 Plus supplies sold out quickly.
Both the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus come in 16, 64, and 128GB configurations, with four color options: Silver, Space Gray, Gold, and Rose Gold.
iPhone 6s pricing in the U.S. starts at $199 with a two-year carrier contract, with the 64 and 128GB models priced at $299 and $399, respectively. Without a contract, the iPhone 6s in 16/64/128GB is priced at $649/$749/$849.
iPhone 6s Plus pricing in the U.S. starts at $299 with a two-year carrier contract, with the 64 and 128GB models priced at $399 and $499, respectively. Without a contract, the iPhone 6s Plus in 16/64/128GB is priced at $749/$849/$949.
Customers who wish to make a purchase through Apple's new U.S. iPhone Upgrade Program will need to make an online reservation for an in-store appointment. Reservations are available now.
In-store sales of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will begin on Friday, September 25, which is the official launch day for the new devices.
