Actually it's really not that bad. I'd rather have your shipping date than mine (Oct. 16 - 23).
While I might not be thrilled about my delivery window, I realize that it could always be worse
I legit laughed and so did my dog
It doesn't say ships 6-12 Oct, it says delivers 6-12 Oct, which is in line with shipping 5 days earlier. Did the original say ships or delivers 1-7 Oct?
lol, I think that's what happens when you complain about the weight of the phone. Tim Cook saw it and decided to punish you.
Likewise, but a much bigger gap for me. I had 9/25-10/2 and now it's 10/6-10/12. WHAT????
I have learned over time not to preorder. There are so many venues to get it on launch day and not stand in line. Target, Radio shack, best buy, apple store, carrier store, carrier store in malls (they open the doors to malls early for the employees to open the store). Usually I just go by the small, but upcoming, mall and pick one up at the tmobile or att when I had them. I waited about an hour last year but got there almost 30 minutes after they opened so I had to wait for 2-3 people to get their accounts set up. I understand people who can't take time out of their schedule to be somewhere first thing on a work day though.
I've been steady at Oct. 16-23 with my Space Gray 6s Plus 128Gb. I'm hoping the 128Gb, which most people buy 64Gb versions, bought me some safety zone, literally!

If I ran Apple, I would do this and laugh my butt off. Would be hilarious. Oh, you think the phone is heavy, fine - yours gets delivered by sea! Oh, you think were no longer forward thinking? Fine, yours gets lost in transit just before it's delivered. BOOM!
There nothing to complain about. The shipping estimate (2-3 weeks) didn't change.
At first it gave the 2 week window (Oct 1-7), then the estimate switched to the third week (Oct 7-12). It's still being delivered within the timeframe that was initially given.
Mine said "ships 2-3 weeks" which should technically be no later than October 3rd. There is no reason why it would take from the 3rd until the 14th to get to me.
If this is the case, because they specifically stated "Delivers Oct 1st to 7th" they should deliver it using a more speedy method. No one held a gun to their head and said they needed to give me a delivery window if they wanted to play around with the "ships by" window.
Just checked my wife's Rose Gold 64gb iPhone 6s Plus and it still says delivers 9/25.
Sorry to hear that. I checked mine and it says "Delivers: 9/25 by Standard Shipping" I ordered it 15 minutes after the pre-order so... Stayed up all night just for this.
And no one held a gun to your head and made your order it. Your delivery date slipped; yes, that sucks, but **** happens. It's not some vast conspiracy by Apple to single you out and make your life difficult.
No one said they did, or that I said they were singling me out.
I was simply countering your explanation. I don't really give a **** if it slipped or not as I'm likely going to cancel the order anyway.
