I ordered a gold 128GB iPhone 6 (not Plus) for my sister yesterday afternoon and it's already shipped.

That's nice. But this thread is for + iPhones.
I'm 1912 too. Ordered 3:48am EST, got the confirm email immediately, and the text at 9:01am. Also got the follow up email reiterating 10/2-10/13. Then nothing. 877 still says backordered.
Hopefully we'll get some movement this week as it's beyond ridiculous at this point.
I'm well aware of that. The point was that it's a little infuriating that the 6 can ship in less than 24 hours while my Plus is going on 18 days wait.

Gotcha. Didn't know what you were referring to in your post. Makes sense now.
Things are a little tense in this thread. For good reason. haha
Today is the day!
I ordered my 64 GB SG 6+ at 3:40 am EST on 9/12 and it is out for delivery today.
I ordered my wife's 64 GB Gold 6+ at 3:45 am EST on 9/12 and it is also out for delivery today.
The day is finally here and I can't stop refreshing the FedEx tracking page!
Hopefully all those still waiting will get theirs soon!

This is a thread just for pluses
misery loves company
Been lurking on this board for about two weeks now..
I also ordered the 128G 6+ gold from at&t, 35 mins after the midnight launch. I was sleepy and just wanted to get back to bed so I ordered through at&t instead of apple, like i have always done in the past. I guess this is my punishement for needing sleep. Never again.

You could have slept in another 3 hours cause that was how late Apple was.
Hell he could have slept way into next week, ordered through Apple, and he'd STILL have his phone before us. #ATTFAIL
Yes, I see that. My use of the roll eye emoticon was expressing my frustration at her order shipping in less than 24 hours while we wait here for weeks.

Apple knew their stock, Apple knew what they had available to ship and proactively developed site issues so they could pass the heat.
AT&T 's system was overwhelmed and they were caught in Apple's created firestorm. Were there honest reasons Apple opened for orders so late, they would have increased shipments to AT&T accordingly, they didn't.
And yes, AT&T handled it badly.
I received my SG 128GB 6+ today and it was worth the wait. But, the wait continues as the SG 128GB 6+ I ordered for my son right after placing my order is still on backorder.
I'm so enamoured with Apple right now...were it not bad enough my 128 gold 6+ is STILL in limbo along with a very few of you other remaining tortured souls on here pining for the same phone as me, I downloaded iOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5 last night, suddenly I'm unable to text photos outside of iMessage, my wifi isn't working, and it deleted ~500 photos I had stored on my iPhone....box of salt, meet my open wound!
So close to cancelling my preorder and ordering a 6. If I had known the wait for the 6 plus would be this long I would have just ordered a 6.
As crazy as it sounds after all this waiting, I'm about to cancel my order. This is a bunch of "Grade A" BS!!
Update:
...no way I am going to cancel. It can't be much longer...
Well after much soul searching and research I decided I would be happier with the 6 because I just don't want to carry something that big around for the next 2 years. So I called AT&T and canceled my order for the 6+ 128GB Gold. I reordered the 6 128GB Gold and now it has already shipped.

Should I or shouldn't I?
So I've been stalking idevicechecker.com and seaturtle.org and looks like a handful of SoCal apple stores have the 128gb gold 6+. So....
Should I or should I not cancel my AT&T order?
1. I can't reserve a phone for pickup because "I'm not eligible for an upgrade" since AT&T have me listed as just upgraded with the phone that's still back ordered.
2. Can't order t mobile contract free because, for some reason, they don't have that same model available when I choose t mobile contract free?
3. I can only imagine how smoothly refusing an iphone package from AT&T will go, since they are sooooo on top of handling all iphone 6 situations. That and getting my account situated after the refusal.
Ahhhhhhh! Help.
