Still can't believe anyone would want to carry one of these phablets in their pocket all day. Sigh. I want my phone to rock and to NOT feel it. Minority I guess. Sad day for me.
I had no lucky on the Apple site, So i wen thru th Verizon site and was able to order a iPhone 6 128GB Space Gray 9/19 Delivery and iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Gray 10/7 Delivery.
The Apple site was down at 3:am and the apple store app not working.
Verizon had their pre order open 10 mins before 3am i should have order direct my iPhone 6 plus wondering if anyone is getting their on 9/19?

Which model wee you looking at and how were you accessing the Apple Store?
IOS Apple Store app started working around 8.20/8.25 but showed all models, all sizes and capacities as Unavailable. Apple.com/uk store came up around 8.30; most models showed as 19/9 with the 6+ going almost instantaneously to 7-10 days.
Got a gold 128GB Gold 6 (not the plus), the model I was after from the outset, for 19/9 delivery. Other friends that ordered 6's also got 19/9 delivery. The one friend who went for a 6+ at the exact same time got 7-10 days. Minutes later the same 6+ model had slipped to 3-4 weeks.
I will only laugh if its one of a Samsung employee crying because their flagship phone cannot get enough attention to crash the Samsung site.
So if you sell a phone that you got on a 2 year contract, you've extended the time before you can buy another new iPhone?
I guessed it would be roughly a 50/50 split. The phablet freaks would rush out and get the 5.5 and the rest of us would get the 4.7 as it's the closest to a phone sized phone Apple sell as an iPhone 6.
Am I the only one that uses the headset for calls?? I went 5.5 but I'm not to concerned about holding a "brick" to me head. Phones get hot after a short while on the phone, plus it's so much easier to hear in stereo! That being said I can't wait for voLTE is all.
Well I never said no one wanted one, but I still stand by the fact that whoever uses one looks like a complete and utter prat.
Am I the only person waiting to actually handle them both before buying one??
i assume not the only one. I personally already now that 5.5 is too big for me and 4.7 is just a perfect size, but i want to see it in person, how those horrible bands look like and that protruding camera. could be a deal breaker for me.
also it sucks that there is no space grey option with white front. would be killer look.
We need a few more data points before you can get on your soapbox. Apple selling out doesn't necessarily mean it's the most popular model. It could be the least available. It having fewer available doesn't mean it did because it misjudged demand. There could be supplier issues as the rumors suggested weeks ago and it's a miracle Apple has enough to even have a preorder.
Since we don't have specific order#s it's impossible to say the 5.5" is the most popular model. Personally, I'd bet it's not. But we won't see evidence of that for months until the 5.5" population has time to accumulate or Apple announced specific sales numbers, something it rarely does within a product line.
Yes.
Ordered 2 x 128gb's [Standard size], one silver and one grey.
Strange, because the site was back up by around 8.40am for me, on my devices. The App however was useless and did not work at all for me, although others have confirmed it worked for them.
For those living in the Uk still plenty of availability for launch day reservation pick up at your local store. (iPhone 6 only)

I agree in regards to size selection.
I am upgrading from the 4S, so missed the screen size improvement of the 5/5S. I was tempted to buy a 6P, only because I currently use both my 4S and an iPad mini and was tempted to have one device for all. 4S is too small now for all day use IMO.
I agree that there will be a lot of people who would not have seen or held the 6P in person, who will order one. It is HUGE compared to my 4S, even the 6 is quite a bit more less pocketable for me and I am a tall person with big hands. The main issue for me (and probably for many others) is not how it fit's in my hand, but how it fit's in my pocket
Having it in your pocket going to work, is different to having it in your pocket on a night out, or at the gym / beach etc.
In short if you need a go everywhere phone, then perhaps a 6P is not for you.
Many people will not realise this until they unbox…
I want to see 6+ in action to find out how practical it is to carry and how practically useful its large size is...Don't want to carry ipadmini along with to read my books and articles. One device is better than two.
But is still believe that compromise is a compromise..phablet might not be good as either..ph & tab.
Eager to find out..
I will never buy a phone over 4,8'' (galaxy s3 screen). The note 3 and so the iphone 5,5 look like a clown's accessory which match his shoes and bow tie. I don't care about how much better the specs of the bigger phones are, aesthetics is #1 to me and a good design will always be about proportion, it does not matter if cyclically exaggeration is trendy.
That being said, I understand everyone have different tastes and most of them awful
