The "I just bought/ordered/shipped/received my new iPhone 6/6 Plus" thread

John6Plus said:
Mine departed Zhengzhou at 6:35 PM (China Time), 9/19. It's a Space Gray (a.k.a. "Gray") 6+ with 128GB. I finally got through to order it at 3:54AM EDT on 9/12; if yours is arriving today, could you say what time you ordered it? Yes, I'm in OCD mode over this. My estimated arrival is Thursday 9/25. Blerk.

Same exact story here. Same phone and dates. Got my order in at 1am PDT through the store app. (Had been trying since about 12:10am when I realized the site wasn't coming up.

I got a gold version for my wife that is getting delivered today the same way but her order went through around 12:20am.

So, I'm writing this from my brand new 6+
However, I may not be able to get it until tonight due to carrier issues!:mad:

Am I the only one that doesn't care much for the box this time around? Honestly, I thought I got scammed at first because there's nothing printed on the top of it.

I know it's just a box, but still!

The box looks awful. I haven't opened it yet (need to get a nano sim instead of my micro) but god there is a point where simple and clean becomes bleh.
 
Still 'Processing Items' on an order placed at 4am on the 12th of Sept to Canada. Delivery estimate of week of Oct 23rd. Not sure what the point of pre-ordering is with this long a delay.

Yeah, the box doeseave much to be desired.

It's a new era in Apple criticism when the box comes under fire, not for environmental waste/packaging excess as once was the case, but for aesthetics. "We think your device is beautiful but the box doesn't do it justice". Read that aloud and see if it sounds as ridiculous as it is.
 
Just got back from picking my two 6 Plus's from UPS. Was nice enough to activate my husband's and drop it off to him at work before I even opened my box. Just got home and activated it. Don't know about everyone else but right now I am loving my 6 Plus. No regrets whatsoever. Good luck to everyone else. I hope your packages come as expected (or earlier).

Mine arrived in Zhengzhou. Again. At 7:10 PM CST apparently.

I wish I could activate "Find my iPhone" on it. :rolleyes:
 
Picked up my 6+ Gold 128GB from AT&T walk-in.
Was #7 in line and the managers confirmed they had 18 total 6+ phones.
 
Got my Silver iPhone 6 64 GB at 10:27 EST

Ordered in store at 10:45 9/12/14 and added next day delivery by 10:30.

I have to say the form factor of this phone is next level. Feels great in your hand. Big screen but the phone doesn't feel too big at all. Really glad I went with the regular 6 though, I feel like the 6+ would be too big (and very similar to my iPad mini)
 
I just preordered mine from apple.com !! I regret not doing it early but I was debating whether I actually needed it or not :mad: 6+ /64 GB /Space grey it's going to be a long month ... (but hopefully only 3 weeks)

I ordered (Canada) at 6am ET. I got 7-10 Business Days, Estimated Oct 1-6

Today it finally says Preparing for Shipment

I tried at 3-5am and was never able to access the Apple site. So how few did they have for Canada that I was not able to get one Today?

6, Space Grey, 64gb

I read it aloud. I have to admit it did not sound ridiculous.

Seriously, your argument is that the new box is environmentally friendly? :rolleyes: Who is being ridiculous now?

The box is just a reflection of Apple's current aesthetic direction, mostly evident in ios. My own opinion is that it removes what has made apple so different (and beautiful). Others may like it, and that is fine.
 
Arrived at my local Verizon store at 7:10 AM and only 10 people in line. Traded my iPhone 5 for a free iPhone 6 and was out the door at 8:20. Got the 16 GB Space Grey. The size is absolutely perfect.
 
Excited!

Ordered around 5 am EST
iPhone 6+
64 gb Space Gray

Originally said 7-10 days (Oct. 1 - Oct. 6)

Just found my phone on UPS with an estimated delivery date of September 25 :)

You make a very valid point, it still doesn't change that we, as a society, have devolved into complaining about the look of boxes. Though, to be fair, I wasn't really complaining.
 
**** the fedex guy just crashed in front of my house so I'm going through his truck while he's unconscious at the wheel! I see iPhone boxes!
