From sg 6 to gold 6 to sg plus to...(drumroll) phoneless
*DEEP BREATH*
SOOO IVE BEEN TEAM IPHONE W/ATT SINCE JAN 2008 HAVE OWNED EVERY MODEL ACCEPT THE 4 AND THE 5 THIS HAS BEEN BY FAR THE WORST, MOST CONFUSING, AND FRUSTRATING RELEASE/UPGRADE EXPERIENCE FOR ME OF ALL TIME! ON LAUNCH DAY 2014 I STARTED WITH MY BLACK 5S WHICH I GOT THROUGH ATT NEXT LAST YEAR I USUALLY ALTERNATE BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE SO I ASKED THE ATT REP FOR SILVER OR GOLD IF THEY HAD IT. NO GOLD. SO SHE CALLS TO THE BACK FOR A SILVER AND THEY BRING IT BUT OF COURSE THE BOXES ARE BLANK ON TOP SO AFTER CHECKING OUT (AN HOUR LATER) WE OPEN THE BOX TO ACTIVATE AND ITS BLACK
AND BY THIS TIME THE SILVER IS ALSO GONE SO SHE SAYS YOU CAN JUST GO TO ANOTHER STORE PAY THE RESTOCKING FEE AND SWICH COLORS BUT AS I AM WAITING FOR CHECKOUT THERE WAS A GUY STANDING NEXT TO ME WITH THE BLACK PLUS I ASKED COULD I SEE IT AS THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING IT IN PERSON AND REALLY IT WAS JUST TO HUMOR MYSELF AS MY ORIGINAL PERCEPTION WAS THAT 5.5 INCHES IS WAY TO BIG FOR A PHONE I ALWAYS ENJOYED THE IPHONES LUXURIOUS COMPACT DESIGNS. AT THIS POINT I STARTED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE SCREEN OF THE PLUS AND LATER AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE APPLE STORE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT BUT IM STUCK WITH THIS BLACK 6 WHICH I DECIDE TO TRADE FOR A GOLD THE SAME DAY AT ANOTHER STORE AFTER CRAPPING OUT ON THE PLUS EVERYWHERE I FIG AT LEAST ITS GOLD SO IT DOESNT SEEM LIKE I UPGRADED A BLACK 5S TO AN UNNOTICEABLY LARGER BLACK 5S (6). BUT AFTER A WEEK THE 6 JUST WASNT DOING IT FOR ME SO I TOOK THAT ONE BACK AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO BUY A PLUS FOR SAME DAY PICK UP FROM APPLES WEBSITE (AHHH!) I READ ON THESE FORUMS THAT PEOPLE WERE PAYING FOR THE 2YR CONTRACT TO SECURE THE PHONE AT APPLE AND THEN RETURNING AND PURCHASING THROUGH ATT NEXT BUT WHAT THEY DID NOT MENTION WAS THAT APPLE CANNOT RESELL YOU THE SAME EXACT PHONE THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE IN STOCK TO DO IT THIS WAY WHICH OF COURSE THEY DONT IT WAS A SPACE GRAY 128 GIG HOTTEST ONE ON THE MARKET OTHER THAN THE 64GB. SO LONG STORY MADE SLIGHTLY SHORTER I HAD TO RETURN THE PLUS AND GAVE IN TO ATT'S 28-35 DAY WAIT ON OCT 4 AND NOW I HAVE A SHIPPING WINDOW OF NOV 12-21 AND NO PHONE.
(SIGH)
