Yup. Sorry that's what I meant to say. I meant that the other thread seems a bit redundant since pre orders are over.

I just ordered my 6+ 128gb for Verizon but there seems to be a shortage nationwide. Wait seems to be about 2weeks. I didn't want to wait but it's easier on me vs checking stores inventory multiple times a day.
Considering the crummy weather and the Christmas shoppers and what I've read - supply constraints seem high on 128gb Plus phones of any color. It's a cool phone - last year the gold 64gb 5S was the hot ticket everyone either waited in line or ordered online. Far easier to order online compared to running around. Join the crowd, pull up a chair and wait with all of us. LOL
I also ordered the same phone from at&t under at&t next. I compared the price of the "certified like new" with the "new" phone and I thought I could use the extra money to buy mobile insurance for 6.99/month if I choose the certified over new.
Also "certified like new" to me is: a technician personally/manually inspected the phone against the spec, sometimes that's even better than new.
Yea the major plus of ordering online is not dealing with the holiday shoppers, especially with the bad drivers in full force and finding parking spots are worse haha.
Ah I feel great now.
Ordered iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Grey on November 3rd and delivered at AT&T store on November 28th. I picked up next day at the store. 
I was at work and my mom had stopped by my place and still no iPhone? But it said delivered? The neighbor didn't have it, but the UPS guy tossed it on my condo porch. That was an alternative if my neighbor wasn't home. I bet he just skipped the neighbor all together. They are ALWAYS home
.
Anyway, there it was on the porch, thankfully out of the rain. I bring it inside and think do I want to take it out now, (I had to run right back out) or do I wait .Of course I open it. I felt like I was preparing for surgery or something with washing my hands, making sure I was on a carpeted area, turn all the lights on, cut the plastic so as not to damage the box in any way Then the infamous slide of the top part of the box coming apart from the bottom ..and there it is
It's a MUCH better looking phone/design. I wanted a new design since the 4 came out. It's bigger but not too big and seems ok so far with one handed use, but I need to have it a couple of days to really get a feel for it. I can't imagine the 6+ in my small hands.
Touch ID seems to work very well. Everything transferred from iTunes with no issues. Just entered a few passwords for email accounts, iCloud and a couple of apps and I'm good to go
I will miss my 5 and I had a hard time turning it off. I feel like a trader or something :roll eyes: Now .how much can I get for it?

Ordered my 64GB 6+ in Space Grey and a case. Expected to arrive between the 5th and 9th Dec. I'm so excited!!!

Glad you finally got your phone. Based on the "7-10 day" update email I start entering the preparing to ship window on Thursday. I was at my ear doctor getting my hearing tested yesterday and noticed the doctor has his 6 Plus in Space Gray laying on the work table. It looked so great.

My 6 Plus left Zhengzhou at 7:25 pm on December 3rd. I'm assuming it's going to Incheon, Korea. Scheduled delivery Monday December 8th, via UPS Worldwide Express.

I just picked up a iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Space Gray for Verizon from the Apple store last night. While I was buying the phone, one of the Apple store employees told me and several other folks that the Verizon iPhones are locked and you have to call the carrier to have them unlocked. I popped my AT&T SIM card in, turned it on and activated while I was there in front of him.
Anyway, it's a pretty damn nice phone. I'm still adjusting to the size, but it's pretty manageable so far. I'm seriously considering going caseless, but I may change my mind on that.

I've had the iPhone 6 (64GB/AT&T) and completely case-less (aka butt naked).
And. By. God. Is this the best phone or what? My wife has had her 6 for months, with a leather case, and I've played with it a bunch. But when it becomes your buddy in your pocket, going with you everywhere, and you pull it out all the time, the tactile experience is euphoric and addictive. I don't know what kind of dopamine reactions tactile experiences are supposed to do, but I'm becoming addicted to holding this thing. It's is like a worry-stone. It almost relieves stress to the point of its now a sugar habit.
How does Apple do it?
At a time where my trust in the Apple ecosystem is starting to lessen (iCloud issues, Yosemite bugs, bad UI choices, iPhoto what?) their hardware is bar none the best of the best. I can't even look at an Android phone at this point, or even my iPhone 5 (which I'm keeping, but still).
This is love.
At least until next year.

Walked into an att store to find they're sold out of the gold iPhones so I went to my nearest best buy and asked for a gold 6 128, but all they had was the gold 6 64, so that's what I ended up getting! I love it! My last iPhone was a 4s so this is a huge upgrade! I love my phone and am looking for new excuses to use it. I got this phone through the att next program. Yay!
I had to get the 64GB as well as no 128 GB when I went to get mine. But 64GB isn't shabby at all.
Our phones must be traveling together. Seems they left Zhengzhou at the same time. However they are making a stop over in Shanghai now.
UPS tracking is lagging for me. By my estimation, it should have arrived in Louisville by now. When is your estimated delivery date?
The "I just bought/ordered/shipped/received my new iPhone 6/6 Plus" thread
This is my tracking info so far.
And based on timing, my iPhone should have easily been able to catch these flights to Anchorage and then onto Louisville. In guessing no stop over in Incheon, Korea. But UPS tracking is so lagged. What's your tracking info like?.

Oh wow.. We are definitely pallet mates lol. When is your estimated delivery date?. My phone will have to travel North again to British Columbia, but in hoping because it is via UPS World Express Service, there might be a slim chance I will see it delivered on Friday.

Really?. Mine says the 8th. Are you via UPS World Express or Expedited?
