Carrier Non-Premier AT&T iPhone 6 Plus Pre-order Status (Only)

As the days go by, shipping estimates are looking more and more legit. I guess they were right all along.

I tell you what though, I'll be damned if shipping dates come and go and we get pushed back. All hell will break loose.

I'm out of words of encouragement for everyone. I'm throwing in the towel, I give up, just going to wait..........and wait.......... and wait....

I don't suppose anyone has peeked to see if premier has received their 128 gold models yet? I'm afraid to look for fear I'll spontaneously combust over the answer.

The only one I've heard of shipping was a premier customer. They posted on the ATT community board a fee days ago.
 
I guess the only good news is that those in the 10/02 - 10/12 bracket should expect movement soon. But with AT&T, who knows anymore.
 
Well, I have gone from 877# - Backordered
866# - Order Sent To Warehouse For Processing & Online Order Checker Preparing to Ship to now the 866# informing me that One or more items in my order are Backordered.
<insert screaming tantrum of frustration here>

I just brought myself to call, still backordered. I guess AT&T just has zero 128 gold period. How can that happen? Did Apple suddenly decide to stop manufacturing them????!!!

There appear to be plenty at Apple Stores. Or at least a significant amount. As opposed to Space Gray, which is definitely in short supply.
 
I think the 128GB's in general are in short supply. The SG's are borderline mythical at this point.
 
It's odd, since the Space Gray is (I think) the most popular color, but it seems like they have the least of them. I don't know if it this is simply because they were snapped up quickly, or if maybe they had some kind of manufacturing issue on the line doing that color.

My order is Space Gray as well.....
 
Well I've at least seen silver and gold 128gb 6+'s available in the apple stores. Not seen one SG 128gb 6+ available at all.

So it's safe to say our Gold and SG are like mythical beasts cavorting away in some fairyland far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, fa, far, far, far, far, far, far, far away from us right now..

Hey gold/128/6+ people: I did it. Cancelled my AT&T pre-order, was eligible for upgrade immediately (I checked while still on the phone), and grabbed this exact phone from a local Apple store. I was in and out in about an hour (I was shocked to see how many scalpers were still in line, cycling through multiple times).

I was able to get it as a Next phone, no problem. Setting everything up at home now.

Anyway, ultimately it was quick and easy and they had the phone at several local Apple stores. Check yours!
 
Gave Up on AT&T

Ordered my iPhone 6 Plus Gold 128 GB on 9/12/14 around supper time and had the infamous 9 Nov to 27 Nov ship window. No changes after that. Went to the Apple Wellington, FL Store and got the iPhone 6 Plus Silver 128 MB on Next on my other line. Then cancelled my current order with AT&T which went thru smoothly. Happy now. Good Luck to everyone who still have outstanding orders with AT&T.:)

Yes well that might be helpful were the closest Apple store here in East Texas not 3 hours away. I also had neck surgery recently and am in a wheelchair at present, so no driving means AT&T has me over a barrel and at their mercy..I have debated going a different route with my phone since this has been such a botched rollout, but the fact of the matter is I'm stuck in a medical clinic for several days every 3 months, I was blown away by all the features of this large phone, and with all this storage...wow, I could actually download movies to help keep me entertained or distracted, a big change from my 16GB iPhone 5, on which I had to delete all my music, my apps, and most of my photos just to download the new iOS. Everyone has a reason, a need, a story as to why this phone is important to them, but the fact is Apple and all the carriers, AT&T isn't the only one disappointing people, don't care because it is all about the bottom line. It isn't that I have no patience, it is the fact that NOTHING has even slightly been "first come, first serve" as promised, that is what has me so disenchanted right now, I don't want to have to beat the bushes and scour the globe, I just want my phone. Period.
 
Forbes Article

This is from an article in Forbes 9/26/14 by Chuck Jones

"In checking lead-times for seven of the twenty newly launched countries today I found positive signs that the iPhone 6 and especially the iPhone 6 Plus availability is improving. In Austria, Denmark, Finland, Italy and Spain the lead-times for both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are at 5-7 business days. Turkey is a bit worse then the new countries but better than the initial wave ones with 2-3 weeks for both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Taiwan’s doesn’t have any lead-times posted but that is similar to Apple’s China and Singapore websites but there are reports out of Taiwan of lines of people at stores waiting for them to become available."

:eek:
 
Still Backordered 6+ 128 Gold ordered 9/12 3:24AM CDT. Apple is really pissing me off. #
