I will be ordering the new iPhone on preorder day but I have a question last year i was able to preorder my iPhone via the apple online app with one of the lines on my dad AT&T account . I want to order him one but his line is on AT&T premier and mines does not say and the rest of the number are on same account. When I check for upgrade on mine says eligible for AT&T next upgrade but when I check his it says line eligible AT&T premier does that mean I can order mine via the apple online app with my dad preorder without going through at&t premier or I have can order only mine via the apple online app and his via AT&T website how does this work explain to me better ?
The account is on premiere since my dad has his own business .

If I order directly from AT&T do I login to the main account then pick which line to upgrade ?
Is the one from Apple the same thing ?

it seems you have a Business Account with AT&T so you have to order from AT&T.

Just some food for thought. This years iPhone may not be a groundbreaking release like the 5.5 6s+. Hence, not huge lines at stores. Last year I got to my ATT store 10 minutes before they opened. No one in line. Picked up my new iPhone and gone in 30 minutes or less. :)

When I left the store had 2 sets of customers. Not sure what they were buying.

I hope its not going to be like the iPhone 6/6+ where there long lines and phones sold out fast.

I suspect that some models will sell out quicker. Getting your color in the size memory you want may be a problem. There is always one color that is in short supply.

Well if the rumors are true and there is a Blue iPhone then it will sell out fast.
