Went to a local AT&T store today, wife and I both got 64GB Space Grey 6's. No line, took about 30 min to get it all said and done.
Got a tip for us?

Same here as others have stated...went to local sprint store and they had the 6 128GB in all colors. They didn't receive any 6+
I'm still under contract with my 5s though and it'd be $850 minus $350 5S buyback. A little too much for me. Unless I could sell it for ~$500 in a year.

Here's my iPhone 6 review, maybe it will improve over time...
I got the iPhone 6, 128gig yesterday, so far very disappointed. There were three basic things that I saw as being new, the larger screen, Near Field Communication (NFC) and a barometer. The size I'm not comfortable with, there is a good chance that might change as I get use to it. The barometer can be used for tracking fitness but nothings out yet. What I was looking forward to, was the NFC, this is what they are using for Apple Pay, but in their wisdom (or lack of) they're not turning it on for any developers to use. This is a standard, so people like me expect it's going to work as the standard was designed. For example, connecting up to a speakers Bluetooth by tapping the phone to the speaker or apps for unlocking doors. Apple used to be ahead of the game now they seem to be chasing everyone else. Yes they have a watch coming out, but I've had a Pebble for some time now, again they're chasing the technology
Now a step backwards, the new screen is more affected by polarized sunglasses. In portrait it loses ~30% of its brightness if you have polarized sunglasses on. The last iPhone handle this much better. I had read they had improve that issue with this new screen: not true. To get it to brighten up again, you have to turn it into landscape, not very convenient in a lot of situations.
When Jobs was alive, you got something substantial when they came out with a new phone. Cosmetics is not substantial. Maybe some developer will find something really cool to do with the barometer, (like my Fitbit uses it for to count stairs, again old technology) for right now if NFC is going to produce anything cool and significant It's going to be on all of their competitors handsets.

This is my first apple shipment! I live in a small town so I usually just wander down when ever and get one. This is the first time my upgrade has coincided with the release date.
Should be here Tuesday according to the tracking!!

Mine was pretty far out when I first ordered, you should call apple and see if they'll expidite your shipping. Mine went from oct 10 to sept 30 at no charge.Finally able to upgrade today!! Just ordered the iPhone 6+ Space Gray 128GB. Currently processing, with a delivery of Oct 21-28. Hoping that the date moves up to an earlier date (most likely will stay the same, but one can hope)
I originally preordered the Silver 128GB 6 Plus. However, I cancled my preorder with Apple.com after seeing and holding the 6 Plus in the AT&T store yesterday. It was too big for me to use comfortably on a daily basis. I loved the look and feel of the Space Gray iPhone 6 and took the last one that AT&T had in stock. It seems that the Gold and Space Gray were the first to sell out as AT&T still had a good supply of Silver iPhone 6's in stock at 1PM yesterday. Since I still had 47.5 GB left on my old 5S the rep. said I would be better off going with the 64GB model again, which I did.
That's cool. I remember with the iPhone 5, almost all the carriers were giving customers a hard time canceling there pre-orders, when they found that the stores had them in stock. So that they didn't have to wait, they wouldn't let them bail on the order.sounds like they've loosened the rules,since all the carriers are offering some good deals to switch to there contracts. And they've let people upgrade relatively earlier. Instead of doing the full 2 years or a partial subsidy price, they've let them upgrade to the new 6/6+.
This weekend, my parents and I moved from Verizon to Sprint. Before that, I would've been on contract with my iPhone 5s 32gb space gray for 2 yrs (just purchased around July). Since it was under contract, I had to return my iPhone 5s. Gratefully, my dad was kind enough to get me the iPhone 6 (4.7") 64gb gold to replace it tonight when we made the carrier switch.
Having spent less than an hour with it, I am already amazed at its screen space and thinness. I think I'm gonna enjoy this phone for a while.

Dropped by the Apple Store to set up Apple Care+. There was a 30 person line outside the Domain Apple Store. I assume they are for 6 only.
I'm just gonna have to disagree with you. The reason it's so easy to say there aren't substantial upgrades is because there just isn't much else you can do with the phones now. Jobs CREATED the market..... And when you have a new market you make the biggest leaps in the first couple years (especially in tech). I just can't think of anything that substantial they could even do......
I'd you could name 2-3 substantial upgrades they could have even made I will let you off the hook, but I'm gonna guess you can't.

Did your ship date move up?
After going into the Apple store yesterday and having a play around with both the iPhone 6 and 6+ i decided to get the 6+. I have ordered a silver, 64GB iPhone 6+ with a delivery date of 16th-23rd October, i also ordered a blue iPhone 6+ silicone case.
You won't regret it. I have had my 6+ space grey 128gb since launch day I completely love it.
I was a little worried about the size of the 6+ so that's why i went to the Apple store and tried them both out. But i found the 6+ nice to hold and i could even txt with one hand (maybe i've got big hands), so i decided on the 6+ silver, 64Gb version and ordered one when i got home. Got to wait until the 16th-23rd October but not a lot i can do about that.
How do you find the battery life on your iPhone 6+? are you a heavy user?
I tend to have my screen brightness low anyway, i don't find the need to have it on full. It's usually around 25% percent.
