I for one am tired of the race for feather weight phones. Make it a bit thicker for better battery life.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone Pre-Order Shipping Estimates Begin Slipping to 2-3 Weeks, Led by Rose Gold iPhone 6s Plus

I know the feeling. That could buy me a nice PC laptop. Or an iPad Pro. Interesting is I bought that model this morning in Space Grey and got a 9/25 delivery date. I've never bought Apple Care before, but the button was right there and I did it this time. If this becomes the first iphone I drop and break I will feel psychic and vindicated.
Dude I woke up twice last night and still saw the rose gold + available! Last year the 6 plus sold out within minutes! Even the iPhone 6 date slipped to 7-10 business days! As of now all phone 6s "except the rose gold" are currently available for 9/25 so yeah the demand is low this year but the Plus is still the winner this year.
I ordered at 1130 est this morning 6s plus vzw 64gb and got 2-3 weeks for delivery
I hope your right. My att order that I placed at 2:07AM CST for my Space Grey 6S+ 128Gig initially said 9/25 but when I woke up again and checked it said delivery 10/16-10/23
I hope it changes again and I get it on 9/25
I think perhaps all the "not as much interest" crowd are forgetting that the initial manufacturing hiccups with a redesign have been largely addressed, and they've been making these for at least a month, with two weeks lead time between pre-sale and launch. I think most likely they are just more prepared with stock on-hand as opposed to it being unpopular. I think a lot of 5S buyers were waiting for the 6S, not to mention the Apple Upgrade plan will likely attract a lot of interest as well.
Relax lol who's trash talking? And um yeah the black slate iPhone 5 was pretty damn popular I as well as a slew of other forum members miss it much. If it wasn't for it scratching so easy they would have kept it going
Hopefully they were just covering themselves then and I'll get it sooner than the customer services rep said.
Not sure. Could be they were covering themselves or could be because this is an upgrade not a new contract?
You are lucky! For me I had to wait immediately for a month last year for my 6 Plus. Remember you got two weeks before you get that phone in your hand. So you might only have to wait a week after release at the latest. Not to bad. Wish me luck next year when I get my 7! It will be a doozy next year to get one!
The Plus is a clear winner this year again my friend! Congrats on your plus! I have to wait till next year for the 7. If that phone comes in a plus version, I'm getting that one lol!
Similar story here. I placed my order around 2:30. Initially was 09/25 delivery but now delivery date 10/23-10/30. Were you a grandfathered unlimited data plan or ATT NEXT customer. Thanks
You guys should most likely get your phones on the delivery date. The plus seems to be in high demand again this year.
Apparently there's no love for the 16 gb model. Maybe Apple will take the hint.
Its better stock, macrumors reported that apple ordered 85-90 million iPhones from foxconn and you do know that carrier subsidies are bs, right? And the carriers are still offering 2yr contracts and there are upgrade programs, too.
I don't get why more people don't go into their respective carrier stores. Went into T-Mobile store mid day today to switch from AT&T and pre-order the new phones, the store was pretty much empty. 2x iPhone 6s+ 64GB gold, he said we'll get them release day because of some first day pre-order guarantee. He even said it wouldn't be surprising if they showed up at our door before official release day depending on how soon they start shipping out and how long shipping takes.
Even last year our local AT&T store had limited stock on release day and a couple days after.

It took two days for the 5s to sell out, which was 23 hours longer than it took the 5 to sell out. Yet the 5s was far more popular than the 5. Fact is, we don't know how it's selling.
Just tried to upgrade my 6 64 gig to a 128 gig 6s rose gold and the Jump Upgrade program over the phone like the T-Mobile website says to do and the rep told me they couldn't start the Jump program over the phone and I have to go to a store WTF? And now this article is telling me the Rose Gold is backed up already 
The rep said he started work at 2am for this preorder launch and 10,000 people were in the cue from the start. Another big hit! Too bad T-Mobile didn't have their **** together on the whole Jump program deal on the first day. It saves me money per month so it's worth doing. And my current phone trade-in value clears out what I still owe on it. Guess I have to find a T-Mobile store... but maybe not today.

Ultimately the 6s might not sell as well as the 6 (who knows) but not for any of the reasons he indicated.
