You're right-- we're never satisfied. I loved the 5c (from afar- I had the 5S). They were very popular. I saw them in the wild all the time. We could never hope for that kind of color selection on the flagship phones. That rose is seen as awful but it's selling well and just you wait...that color will start showing up on competitor phones any day now...
Got a tip for us?

I hope Apple does go that route. Looking forward to all the weak people who let a company selling a tech gadget have so much power over their lives causing great internal angst. It would only be better if Apple kept RAM at 1GB. Even though it makes no difference, it's a hoot seeing everybody get so worked up!
guys do you know if 3D touch will be working with glass screen protectors? they're quite thicker... :/
Nonsense. There is no way to say that without having information about the amount they have produced.
I am a grandfathered unlimited data AND have an ATT NEXT plan... they are different... unlimited data vs. a payment plan for the iPhone itself.
Same happened to me and I have grandfathered in with unlimited data and signed a 2 year renewel.
Hoping my date changes back to 9/25 for my 6S+.
Guess we will see
Looks like they'll be having massive sales numbers for the 6s+. I'm going to try to pick one up at the store.
That's one of the reasons I'm getting it. So many times in my graphics work, I could have created my own assets if I had only taken more photos and videos when I was in various places around the world. Berlin graffiti? Dammit I was just there. Ocean movie? crap I could have taken my own video when I was by the ocean last. And now with the 4k video, I can take incredible movies that will be good for the huge LED walls I design for. 4k video stock is expensive so any fairly common situations I can film myself to build up a library will be great. That's also why I did the 128gig model. With T-Mobile's Jump! on Demand promo it was only a few more dollars per month than the smaller storage models.
The s versions always have more stock. Likely less demand and also fewer manufacturing issues
Grandfathered unlimited with 2 year renewel
With all this talk about supply and people ordering now and getting 9/25.
I have hope my 6S+ 128Gig Space Grey will get to me on 9/25
I ordered the 6s+ 128 rose gold and received confirmation for 9/25 delivery from apple. excited!
I hope yours changes back too!
I use the minimalist case the Apple store stocks. It is basically clear rubber so the phone shows through. I was looking at the Mophie charging cases in the T-Mobile store since they have a bundle deal where if you buy more than $70 (I think) of accessories they will lump them into your account so that you can pay those gradually as well. But they didn't have a rose gold version yet so getting a rose gold iPhone would be a waste of time. I'm not normally a showy person but I actually want people to know I have the latest phone and the rose gold makes that obvious.
Apple really can't win the in-stock / out-of-stock story. If they have enough for pre-orders, people say "oh, I guess people just don't like this phone" -- if they run out, people say "what's wrong with Apple, why didn't they plan for this better?"
Oh lol, the "hey look at my BRAND NEW iPhone!"-guys strike again. gold is soooo 2013/2014, rose gold is 2015 baby!
Would have been one of them though (
I would love for more black color variants to be made. Like black and gold for instance will look so wicked. Imagine a black front with just that golden ring around Touch ID home button. The little golden accents on a black phone would make it a killer look!
In Germany, where I am at the moment, every color and storage size of 6s Plus is sold out and has an estimated shipping date from 2 to 3 weeks.
The 6s is still available for delivery 09/25 in all versions except the 64 GB Rose Gold.
In the country were I live now you can't even preorder a 6s or 6s Plus, but the prices for the 6, 6 Plus and 5s already dropped to the same level as in Germany.
I think I keep my 6 with 128 GB until it's broken into a thousand pieces. I am very happy with it.
I'd rather like to have a bigger screen for some things, but for 260 € less than the 6S Plus 128 GB I could get an iPad Air 2 with 128 GB, WiFi and Cellular.
I think I'll wait for the iPad Pro and perhaps a new 12" MacBook in November. And than decide what to buy.
Did the price for the iPad Air 2 already drop with the new iPad mini 4 or is the iPad Pro the follower of it and it will drop later? Never looked for iPad prices until today.

They already got the hint
While true, there's a significant nonzero cost just because that SKU even exists, both in terms of design/testing and distribution. If it didn't sell a decent number of units, they'd be idiots not to drop it like a lead balloon. So I can only assume that it is very popular, despite being way, way too small to be usable.
Food for thought: The cheaper model of the original iPhone didn't even have enough storage to hold iOS 8 by itself, mainly because it contains complete 32-bit and 64-bit copies of pretty much everything. Someday, when Apple finally gets around to dropping support for 32-bit apps, that will all go away. Of course, 16 GB will still probably be unusable because the OS will have doubled in size again by then, but....
Too bad Apple didn't aggressively invest in thunking, but I digress.
Rose gold jesus piece...
My wife purchased the RG, so I decided to order the silver. An iPad Pro in RG would be amazing!
Jony Ive just felt a disturbance in the Force and is coming for you...WITH ROSE GOLD STORM TROOPERS
Yep, Apple now shows 3-4 weeks shipping on all 6plus models. Was 2-3 weeks earlier today.
Now we can start to speculate about iPhone 7, AW2 and next gen iPad.…
I'm tired of hooking up five charging cables everyday, three of them being Apple devices.I like them to be charged wirelessly and automatically when I'm in the room, from my pocket. That would be awesome.
If that is not feasible by 2016, at least provide a sleek charging mat where you can put them.

Before there was a Plus model, iPhone owners were mocking Samsung (and other) owners with the "tablet sized" 6-inch phones and how ridiculous they looked. My... how times have changed!
Not necessarily old (I'm 51 and getting the rose gold). That person just doesn't have fashion sense and probably has the most boring wardrobe possible. All black shoes so they don't have to think too hard about it
oooh, good question! The T-Mobile rep tried to sell me a glass protector and that didn't occur to me. I didn't get it because I figured I could get it cheaper someplace else. phew!

Wow, you literally took the words out of my mouth ke-iron! I was so hoping Apple would tried this time around. Honestly, i missed my alarm clock to preorder at 3am, woke up 6am. I was still able to preoder for White/Gold iP6s+ and so far its slated for Sept. 25th.
