Ummmm, this info is incorrect... Apple has an estimated 3 to 4 weeks before shipment. It might be less than T-Mobile at the moment, but most of us have almost already endured a month of wait time, some of us with multiple orders. So no thanks, I will just wait for my T-Mo order.
yeah at this point no one should cancel their orders.. unless you like waiting.. if you do then go on cancel.. maybe J2, LillyLand or myself will get the phone instead!
Or me!!!!! I'm part of the gang, right guys?
Well I ordered on the 9/20 with T-Mobile didn't cancel n then ordered through Apple on 9/30 and mine has a ship date of 10/21-10/28 I think apple is going to beat T-Mobile I will just cancel T-Mobile when it happens
Yes you are !!
----------
Well remember Apple gets a big percentage of the shipment .. Tmobile gets the leftovers
I WANT MY PHONE!!!!!!
LOL. I know, right? Srsly. I just put in a call to my ERT (got voicemail, left message) - may just cancel my order if/when she calls back. There's a Verizon unicorn available within driving distance... very tempting.
Ok so I did my daily check of my account on tmobile and noticed that I no longer have any alerts that my order is "being processed". Since the tracker is back up, I checked my order number and it still says on or before 10/29... Anyone else have their alerts disappear???
Good news
So like many of you, i was tired of waiting and sick of tmobile's BS
Was going through the apple.com today and out of curiosity looked up a 6+ 128GB SG for verizon and at&t near me. To my surprise, all of the stores near me had the 64/128GB in every color. So i've heard that if you pay the phone's full price and buy it at apple, it would come unlocked. I was originally going for one on verizon because i've heard more "success" stories when using it on t-mobile about verizon but when I got there they only had the phone in gold and only had a SG 128GB for at&t so I asked the apple guy that was helping me out if it would still work with t-mobile and he said "I'm very sure it will since it won't be activated using a SIM for any carrier when you buy it in full, if not you can return it on the spot". I had nothing to lose, my ETA for my tmobile order is 11/24 so I just paid for the phone, inserted my t-mobile SIM and BAM the t-mobile network appeared instantly (and yes with LTE, it will fully work as if it was a t-mobile iPhone) WIFI calling also works perfectly, using it ATM
So for those who don't mind paying the full price of the phone, apple stores have a much greater supply of the 6+ and chances are you can probably get one right now... Had i known this a month ago I would't have wasted a single minute dealing with t-mobile's BS order process..
Hope this helps someone
if you live in chicago, here's what's in stock ATM, as you can see there's space gray in 64/128, gold 128 and silver 128. You can't reserve it online though since you don't want to buy it with a contract so hurry to the apple store!

Ugh and I ordered the exact same phone as you on 9/17. I swear they aren't making the gold 64GB 6+ at all! You rarely hear about ours going out. =(
yeah seriously, see a lot about the SG's but not much on the gold 64... I think my ert person is getting sick of hearing me ask about it. she hasn't offered me anything at all
oh well, i don't care about getting anything, i'd really just like to have my phone so that i could actually use it...iphone 6, silver 64gb
Order on 10/9.
Listed as will ship on or before 11/20 in the tracking tool.
Anyone else with the same configuration and similar order date seeing the same thing?
Seems a bit outrageous given t-mobile's own website says it should ship in 10 days right now.

I know, it's like they are not even aware that there are gold orders to process and send out.
Order status is down again... Mine is expected 10-18 im hoping this is the sign where it says shipped..
https://explore.t-mobile.com/order-status Seems to be working fine for me.
Does Apple Store do carrier financing for T-mobile? I'm off contract on verizon & wanted to switch,port my number, and sign up for JUMP. I have to finance my phone to do so. Anybody know if theyre(Apple) doing that so I don't have to go to T-Mobile store?
