I can't believe your so insecure with your masculinity. Takes all types I guess!
It's a girl who actually wrote that. Talk about her with her double standard mentality. And she has a space grey phone" isn't that color for men only?" Lol!
 
Name-calling not necessary. Did I call anyone a fool or an idiot for wanting a pink iPhone? Don't think so.
I just do not like double standards. I do apologize to you for that comment. But please do not be so narrow minded. I don't judge you for having a black phone so don't judge a person who wants a rose colored phone.

It's almost 10 hours since they've been on pre-sale and I can still order a Space Gray, 128GB for AT&T 6s and get it on 9/25. I guess no one is buying them. :)
 
How is the demand little less? Anyway, if it is..that's because lot of people might feel that it isn't worth upgrading from 6 or 6 plus because it's pretty much the same...only 3d feature.
 
Rose = Girl

Seal seems masculine to me. Colors do not define you.

So the real question is. Do we wait until 10/16 or do we cancel the order and go camp out front of a store?
 
Anyone knows how to do the 2 year payment plan with Apple? Do I still have to select a carrier or is it a unlocked phone?

Ahh! Guys wear pink shirts all the time. Personally I'm not a fan of pink but I don't care if a dude is wearing it much less using a pinkish phone. I'd have no problem using the rose gold phone if for no other reason it bothered some folks

I've never been less interested in an iPhone as with the 6S.

Well, I guess it depends on what you have now. If you already have a 6/6+, there's no reason to rush out and get the 6S/6S+.
Me, I'm on a 5, have ordered a 6S+. Really looking forward to the vast upgrade - better cameras, live photo's, force-touch (very nice on the watch), haptic feedback, larger screen size, increased storage, etc.

I only upgrade every couple of years so this is big for me. The more I utilize my phome for functions beyond just calls and nessaging, the more capabilities I want.

Sure, people are already talking about the 7. Me, I'll be very happy with the 6S+ and wait for the 7S+
 
You can tell yourself that it's rose gold, but it's really pink. Can't believe men are ordering a pink phone lol.

I can't believe anyone is ordering pink lol but there it is. Maybe they made like 200 or something and they sold out so it just looks like it's crazy popular...

Tim Cook: "Pink? Are you out of your mind?"
Jony Ive: "It's Rose Gold. Luxury ... is a state of mind. We've gone to great lengths to produce a shade of rose that's richly hued and-"
Tim Cook: "Don't you flippin' voice-over me with that crap! IT'S PINK!"
Jony Ive: "It's Rose Gold."
Tim Cook: "Ok you can make, like, a dozen or something."

Seems like all the pre-order are gone here in Hong Kong.

I definitely won't camp outside a store, so I just hope they'll be available in the stores at launch.
 
It's unclear if it's fewer sales or better stock. I wouldn't be surprised if the sales were taking a hit, though, at least in the USA. I think this is the first year where no major American carrier is offering any discount on the iPhones with a two-year contract. Those discounts used to knock off around $400-500 of the phone's cost, which is pretty substantial. My family used to upgrade on the contract cycle regularly, but now that we'll need to pay full price, we'll probably upgrade every three to four years instead. I'd imagine a lot of other people and families are finding themselves in the same situation.
I noticed that too! It didn't stop me from ordering on Verizon, since I've been planning to leave T-Mo for a while. And, although I ordered this morning, I have a delivery window right around the 25th for the 128GB Rose Gold 6s. I just used the former EDGE plan to spread out the cost (and waive the activation charge). As with all things on launch day, YMMV.
 
Since the prices are dropping of the regular iPhone 6/+. They will sell better too!
Don' t make the mistake thinking iphone sales will go down.

I actually think they will be better than last year. The growrh in percentages won' t be higher than last year. But in units they will sell more. Cheaper reg iphone 6 models will be the main reason, though. Not the 6s.

For stock holders: don' t worry for the average price of the phones, apple 5s will be selling a let less this year than last year, more and more people will buy the iphone 6 this year.

I will be getting the 6s. Love new features like 3d touch and can't wait

Why not camp out? Id rather wait 6 hours infront of a store than wait 2 weeks.

Really, I think there are two possibilities: 1) Apple increased production on the iPhone 6s (which isn't all that likely), or 2) We're seeing a typical off-year release following a major one.

The move from the 5 to the 6 was substantial, and I imagine most people took advantage of their free subsidized upgrade last year to make the jump. The 6s isn't a major update (though I think the changes are still substantial), and the impetus to upgrade is smaller.

I ordered off-contract (ouch) because I am done with Android for now, and made a mistake with my last subsidy. Next year I will likely upgrade again with subsidy for the 7 Plus, and stay on the two year cycle like everyone else.
 
When the 6 came out last year almost all the models dropped to 2-3 weeks in 20 minutes and here it is 10 hours after the launch and the majority of all models are still available for launch day. Obviously people aren't upgrading for the 3D touch

While the 6S is a great iPhone it's not a must have
 
Can't believe there are still pockets of the sort of people in this country who insult someone for the color of their iPhone being too feminine.
"Pockets"? You're kidding, right? It's the other way around. There are "Pockets" of more tolerant people, but the vast majority still go by stereotypes. With a kid in middle school, I'm guessing every middle school boy in the country would bully, tease or beat up another boy if he showed up on school campus with a Rose Gold iPhone.

If I were without a working phone then maybe. For me it seems a bit desperate. I can wait like other people, just not in the morning in front of an Apple store.

iPhone 6 with 100 bucks price reduction is a much better value.

Basically doing the same thing on the two-year "s" cycle. My long-standing fear of initial-release major updates from Apple means I'm not wont to immediately jump on next year's 7. It probably also means there's an Apple Watch 2 in my future, lol.
