After I saw the buy back I could get from Apple I decided I would get the 6. I was not interested in the 6+ due to it's size. The 6 was perfect for my needs. I checked Apple's store availability online last night and found 5 stores in my area that had them. I arrived at the store a few minutes before they opened this morning and around 20+ folks were there to pick up their their pre-order. After they were let in I was 4th in line to buy. After trading in my iPhone 5 I got my Gold iPhone 6, 64GB at a ridiculously low price.
When I arrived home I restored from my iTunes backup, it all went flawlessly, I've been playing and learning ever since, except for this posting.
I had 4 iPhones previously and this is, without a doubt, the best!
. The screen display is awesome as is the camera. I have a lot to learn about this iPhone and iOS 8. I'm totally in awe of the workmanship and the new features. Safari is extremely fast when loading graphic intense web pages. I can't say enough good things about the phone and the OS. I have zero problems or issues. And yes, I use a case and I always have on smartphones dating back to my old, old Blackberry (pre-iPhone). Buy with confidence. To the many naysayers and trolls on this forum I say, have a little more "whine" with your cheese.

I'm sure the answer to this question is somewhere in this thread, but can someone tell me this... Does tracking info include China or just US shipping?
I ordered my White/silver iPhone 6+ 128 GB VZ from Apple at 3:30 am Pacific time the first night. Got an estimated delivery date of Oct 12-20.
Today the Apple order site said my 6+ is being prepped for shipment and my credit card has the charges pending. I can't remember from waiting for my 5 if the shipping notice email will be when it leaves China or when it's in the states for shipment.
Thanks for any info.

Although Singapore was on the list of first countries to get the iPhone 6 it was a limited supply. The Apple pre order closed before I could order and I don't have a contract so no service provider leverage.
Faced with waiting until probably the end of October I took to Ebay. There were some silly prices there but I just waited and bide my time hoping the initial frenzy would subside.
Seems it did because I managed to win an auction for the 6 in silver with 16GB which is the model I really wanted. I only paid 22 Singapore dollars over the Apple retail price here
Collected it last night and been playing every since!

I have an order with Verizon for a 6 plus 64gb gold due on Oct. 31st. I went to a Verizon store to inquire what they had in the 6 because i had been on the fence and thought about getting one today. They seemed to have plenty over the weekend so I was crushed when they told me they wouldn't have any until mid october - probably just a store rep's guess.
So I went to the closest Best Buy -close to Tuttle Mall in Columbus Ohio- to browse around. As I was playing with an iPhone 6 plus, a store rep came up to me asking was i ready to buy one today. I politely informed him I knew it was impossible to buy one now, and that i had an order in with Verizon. He politely informed me he had twelve grey 64 pluses in stock, they had just arrived, and one could be mine if I was ready to upgrade. I told him Verizon was going to give me $200 for my iPhone 5. He stated he would give me $225 for it.
I wasn't going to believe this deal until it went through. First, i am a Verizon business customer and apple wouldn't let me upgrade. Best Buy had no problem with this. Then, as he was entering my data, he said my phone on back order was blocking the upgrade, so i called Verizon business, and after some haggling, they cancelled the order, and I was good to go.
The experience was so surreal i still feel funny about it three hours later. So of course bent gate has me scouring store to store looking for the strongest case, and any suggestions would be appreciated.
So the phone fits in my pocket easily, even in shorts. I wear loose fitting cloths, both dress and casual, so I don't think pockets will be an issue. And I always took it out of my pockets when i sat down. The only real issue is how thin and slippery this things is. I sat it on my leg in my car and it slid right off into the crevices of my seats. I am downloading my apps and setting them up before i dive in, but to tell the truth, I have already played with the phone over three hours in the store, so I already know I like what it can do.
Anyway, happy camper here, onto obsessing about what case to buy.

This is amazing to hear. I am on my companys verizon business and it has been the worse week, my order was 10/3 then went to 10/17. My old phone is on its last legs and since I cant just go to an apple store, I am screwed. Are you telling me i can go to best buy and get a verizon phone and remain on my verizon business account? If so, i am doing this tomorrow for sure.
Pre-order night at 5:30 am been using it since 2 pm and battery is down to only 79%. Screen is slightly Warmer in color on the left but it's slowly starting to even out a little bit, otherwise flawless build quality looks excellent getting use to the size my iPhone 5 feels so tiny now!!
Wasn't planning on getting the new iPhone, thought that I wasn't eligible until December. I've been trying to figure out why my 4s wouldn't connect to my PC for a few days now, but it will charge in the wall. I looked on Sprint's website to see how to do an insurance claim, but it said I qualified for an early upgrade and they would give $200 for my 4s.
So, I went into a Sprint store, almost at closing last night, to make sure I was seeing that correctly, and figure out what my options were. They said I could order one, but it might take 4-5days until the store gets it. I declined and planned on waking up early to call around town.
This morning I called about 13 Sprint stores in the Denver area. I'd say 9 had some type of the 6, but all in gold or silver. Last one I called had the 64GB black one. So, I jumped on the highway for a 25minute drive and got my new iphone 6! Sad to see that people are still waiting who ordered before release, while I just decided last night to get one and I got one in my hand the next morning.

Happily got a silver 64gb 6 today from a local Apple Store (after a 2 hour wait)! I was never in love with the my 5s as I often lamented over the awkward long-ish form factor while missing my trusty 4s.
Also, I paid full price for the phone (AT&T model) and can confirm that iTunes states that the phone is unlocked when you plug it in. Good news for those holding out for a T-Mo model to have an unlocked phone. Just walk into an Apple Store and purchase an iPhone and state that you want the "device only" with no subsidies or contract at full price. Should take you all of 5 minutes to walk out of the store as no activation is required there. Pop in a SIM and plug into iTunes and you're good to go!

iPhone 6 release in Denmark tomorrow (September 26)! Pre-ordered on Sep 19 at 12:14am (it opened at 12:01am, but all servers went down immediately).
Just got my tracking number, so will receive my iPhone 6, 16GB, Space Gray tomorrow !
Good on you
I skipped the midnight drama, and will get up early to queue up for it at the local store instead. Hopefully I'll get a 64GB Space Grey iPhone 6. Or a gold in case they have no SG.
CONGRATS! My iPhone 6+ is due to be delivered today. Currently it is in Louisville, KY right now. Cant wait!
Good on you
Telia and "morgenbasser" at 7:30?
good luck in getting yours!Telia and "morgenbasser" at 7:30?
Correct.
Just received an email from Telenor that they have a 64GB SG 6 waiting for me all tomorrow. So if Telia doesn't have any in stock or I don't manage to get one, I'll just swing by Telenor afterwards.
I received my iPhone 6 64GB Silver a few hours ago. I absolutely love it. I love the display, form factor, and design. I had no idea the size of the phone and display would be that much different from my 5S but the extra .7 inch in the display size really does make a huge difference.
Second wave countries...
When does ordering usually go live? Im in NZ which is part of the 26th Sep second wave release. It's now 40 minutes into the 26th and still can't order? What time on release day was ordering available in other countries?

Just received my tracking number for my gold 6 plus!!! Woo hoo. It'll arrive October 3. Of course it would be too easy to have it arrive the day before--on my day off
Don't judge me, but I'm thinking of putting my Friday shift up for a swap...
(Work 9:15-5:45)
Will I need to go to AT&T to have my sim swapped out of my iPhone 5?

My best buy is telling me that they CAN NOT access verizon business accounts for iphone 6, only sprint. Can you please confirm that you did this? I am not sure how your best buy was able to access.
