I got my 6 Plus 16 GB Space Grey today around 10:30 MST, first impressions....

When I first opened the box, I thought I was accidentally sent a silver. The grey is very light color.

The phone is huge. It is just ridiculous. It takes some getting used to for sure. One handed use is really awkward, really out of the question. My right hand hurts from using it all day, because of how far I had to stretch. it hurt like your hand does when you type for too long on the computer

It's amazingly thin and light.

The display is gorgeous, everything just pops.

Stock apps look awesome, and make great use of the screen, however, apps from the app store have not been updated, so they are scaled up, and the status bar gets big. A bit of fuzziness on third party apps.

I watched the end of the Utah-Michigan game on it, and it was just a joy to watch on

The battery came pre-charged at 70%, and lasted me 10 hours. I Was trying out every possible thing on the phone, downloading apps, watching video. The battery is a beat, really awesome coming from a 5. The battery was the main reason I chose the Plus, and it has delivered.

Slow motion camera is awesome. Optical Image Stabilization works, and the photos I took look amazing.

The design is great for holding in your hand.

Really hoping you all get yours soon, or at least a straight up answer.

If you want more pictures, tell me and I'll upload them.

is anyone else who has the 6+ considering the 6 for ease of use ?

 

[Disciple2123]

Looks like there'll be six planes landing at various times in the morning. Oh how I hope I get an update tomorrow.

So 5 tonight and 6 in the morning?

Nice, man. Hopefully I'll be joining you soon in the "got my iPhone 6 Plus" party.

The 6 Plus is HUGE, there's no doubt about it. Even had trouble reaching down to tie my shoes with the thing barely fitting in my pocket.

But, I am relinquishing my iPad mini Retina in the process to deal with it, and I've seen the 6, but can't get myself to sacrifice the 1920x1080 resolution, Optical Image Stabilization, and the widescreen Home screen and extended landscape keyboard.

5 tonight? I might be missing something because I currently only see 2, but 6 in the morning.

OG Message:

Sound off by quoting this. I want to make a list. How many of you got the 9/22-9/30 text/email, no CC charge(full), nothing from UPS(even track by reference), used JUMP online in the AM on the 12th, your myTmobile page says "backordered", and robochick says "your order is being processed, but not yet available for shipping"? Iphone 6+ 64GB Space Grey

FYI: It has to be exactly like this as we speak sans the type of iPhone. If the above info changes for you, let me know, so I can remove you from this list and congratulate you!

Add me to the list...no updates since the 9/22-9/30 text. Also waiting for a 64gb Space Gray Plus.

 

[PD1999]

Who's left in the SG 64GB 6+ group? I have no tracking, just a pending charge.

I am.

 

[troyhouse]

well, good night everyone, will check tomorrow, hope something changes by then.

 

[azwildcat11]

Anyone trade in their 5s towards their preorder? The offer is $352 right now, seems pretty decent. There's an option to add it to an existing order, but when I entered my info it says I've reached the maximum amount of trades for the order. I'll have to call them tomorrow.

 

[Pjrufus]

I feel so alone.
Waiting for my 6+ 64gb Silver.

Were u able to do an EIP with apple?

 

[Vanilla Ice]

At least I have football to watch all day! Tomorrow. Talk about a crazy week/weekend. My team Tampa Bay Bucs got killed Thursday night and I have yet to hear from tmobile like the rest of you waiting. I hope my football fantasy teams at least do good.

 

[mooseatx]

No, you're only option is pay full price. Which I did not mind.

Also, earlier I said I emailed Legere. On my way to the apple store his office called and told me about why it's taking for ever. Basically Apple is shorting them on the Pluses. The guy I spoke to was sincere and sounded like he knows whats really going on. He didn't really have answers other than up to 6 weeks arrival. He also gave me a $50 credit for my next bill. Very nice of them. I still have one silver plus 16 gb ordered from them, so hopefully that shows up before 6 weeks, lol.

They still can't explain why folks that ordered later (Jump and no Jump) are getting them first.

Add me to that list I work in a mall so I'm gonna check out the apple store stock tomorrow. We'll see

 

[Amberjorge]

I Jump!ed on the 14th for the same exact one, no auth, no charge. But Robolady only says that it's processed and not ready for shipment. I'm so irked.

Same same same. I ordered a 16 +, well two of them.

Lol man I felt bad for the Bucs. But yeah... Football all day tmrw will definitely get my mind off this damn phone atleast for a day.

 

[joshuad]

So anyone left that received the text with 9/19 delivery and charged but no tracking, no updates online or phone?
JUMP 9/12 4:04pm 128gb space gray...
sucks as I see someone got the same model non-jump ordered the 16th...
Happy they got the phone but feels like a little kick while I'm down... Its just a phone and in the big picture not a big deal but T-mobile has really crapped the bed and isn't willing to change the sheets either.

Ohh ok. Some other guy on the last page was able to do EIP at an apple store. That's why I asked. I had originally heard you could only pay in full
