Yes THAT is correct because you have an account with T-Mobile and it curbs you selling for more money. If he simply purchased it without a phone line acocunt connected, I'm 97% sure it would come unlocked (I say 97% because I've never purchased one in full around launch time). Now if he opened up a line of service to get the phone, then yeah he'll have to wait.
You can't do that. T-Mobile won't do a cash and carry like that. It HAS to be associated with a T-Mobile account regardless of if you pay in full when you buy it. The only way to "anonymously" buy a phone is to buy an unlocked variant from Apple.
 
Hello, I have been reading some confusing posts online about this topic. Does anyone have information that can clarify? I'm an AT&T customer. Will the T-Mobile 6S+ I ordered not work for me, if I put in my AT&T SIM card?

Thanks.
If you buy it from tmobile it is locked to tmobile if you buy it from Apple the phone comes unlocked for GSM US carriers and will come with a tmobile Sim, but it also works on AT&T possibly Verizon and most US carriers.

Still no card charge or updated status still processing iPhone 6s 16 gb rose gold ordered sept 12 3:45am est The anxiety is killing me just charge my card already T-Mobile
 
Looking at my account on tmobile and it say PartiallySapBackO anybody know what that mean??????
It means it's back ordered in their SAP ERP system. Not too concerning yet since the phone isn't released. I wouldn't take it as a sign that you will or won't get the phone when you were promised.

Like I said. The phone isn't released so they don't have any physical inventory. That's the definition of back ordered. It's a technical term which is why I suggested not to read too much into it.
 
I've received confirmation of shipping emails with tracking numbers on both phones ordered for the SECOND time on 9/14.

128GB 6S Rose Gold
128GB 6S+ Gold

I've set up a delivery exception to my nearest UPS store. That way I don't have to be home and I can go get it after work and not worry about it getting stolen from my front porch.
 
Got charged yesterday morning and got tracking same time this morning. 6s+ 64GB Silver. Non JoD! Non Jump! Regular upgrade. Ordered 9/12 3:30am

Where is it saying this? I just have a window saying it's being processed, and then the Explorer page says both are expected to ship by 9/24.

Cool. I'm assuming if we ordered on 9/15 we'll get news tomorrow?
 
My 2 phones show delivery by EOD on Wednesday, which i'm sure they'll hold until Friday, but would be kinda neat to be one of the "early delivery" rare ones you see every year. :D

Called T-Mobile just now to verify my order. They assured me since I am a "Jump On Demand" customer I got priority when it comes to IPhone delivery The supervisor said I will get my card charged in the next 48 hours and get my phone delivered on the 24th or 25th,

Supervisor also told me she received an email that Apple has approved a 1 day early release for carriers due to the demand of the Iphone 6s and Iphone 6s plus so get ready guys!
 
I ordered 128 GB 6s+ on the morning of Sept. 12 via phone. The card was charged last night, and status says shipped. There is a UPS tracking number, however - the UPS site says that only a shipping label has been created. Fingers crossed.

BS. The launches always result in preorder demand and these same logistics exercises. The release date is the release date. Apple has a well oiled process for getting the hardware out on the date they announce as the release date. Not doubting that the supervisor told you that but they're completely wrong.
