The iPhone 6S/6S Plus Pre Order thread

OC40 said:
My wife is ordering the 6s 64GB in Rose Gold. I can't decide between the 6s or 6s+ 64GB! I think that the 6s+ may be a bit too large for lugging around in my front pockets...

one thing though, this upgrade should do wonders for the 6S Plus. 70% CPU and 90% GPU. Thats what the 1st 6Plus should've had. Not knocking the regular 6/6s models, but the specs like they are now for the original 6 should've gone to them, and the 6Plus should've had what were getting on the 25th. Just making the screen or multi-task a little less lag like, would've been a reason to hold onto the original 6plus.

Brilliant! Still you are much more likely for Day 01 delivery, I did it through the app right on the dot. I belive it was about 08:06? 128GB Plus for me and I thought I would get my Dad a present. Midnight blue case for me too.

May the Francis be with you! (launch day)

I've just looked at storage on my phone and I think I might have made a mistake going for the 64GB instead of 128 like you :confused:
Oh nooooo what have I done! :eek:
What are the chances of stores having the 128 on launch day so I can do a swap...
I'm going to start looking for cases I think. What midnight blue case are you referring to?

The Official leather one! I am hoping my custom case will fit but I would not feel safe carrying my phone without a case...
 
I pre-ordered the gold 6s at 8.10am on 12th. Had slight reservations in my head for a few days, saw someone's iPhone 6 in gold, was not "loving it" so cancelled order(!) and re-pre-ordered the rose gold 6s 64g. Got a delivery window of 8-14 October. I hate waiting!
 
Yay! Finally! And they charged the card for Apple Care+ & Taxes.

Obtained tracking number for 6s plus thru my phone number on file with Apple, or first 8 letters/numbers of order # will also work (reference number search) appears to have left last night UPS. Have 2 on order, 6s and 6s Plus, both 128gb, both space gray. No tracking available for 6s yet.

Anyone with a tracking number have the shipping weight from Apple via UPS. 6s or 6s plus. Trying to determine which on of the two I ordered is on its way, 0.70 kilo?

Update: Cancel that, the 6s plus is 0.70kg per ups.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this. Basically, I'm looking for advice.

I want to order an AT&T model because it has that extra LTE band, even though I'll probably never use it (I'm on T-Mobile). I just realized my mother in law has an AT&T account, so I have a phone number to type in on Apple.com. I'm planning on buying full price, we don't want to sign any contracts or financing agreements, and I want a 128GB Space Gray model, to replace the same model 6 Plus I already have. I'm set on the model I want, that isn't my dilemma.

My dilemma is when I should order. I don't want to wait too long, I know the 6 was on backorder for forever last year, I was hoping to get my phone in October. Would it be better to place a pre-order for delivery now (Apple.com says 3-4 weeks)? Or, should I wait for post-launch in-store reservations? What's the best option to get the model I want by mid-October or so?

Also, my fiancé wants a Rose Gold 128GB model, still torn about the 6S or the Plus. Either way, what's the best thing for her to do? That's the new color, so I figure it'll be backordered even more.

I want to order through Apple only, I refuse to go through any carrier.

Thanks in advance for the advice! Sorry if I posted in the wrong thread for this.
 
When buying a full price phone via Apple Store, when it asks the carrier I choose AT&T.

Does that mean it's an AT&T phone? In theory, it couldn't be returned and re-purchased through the upgrade program because it's not unlocked correct?

UPDATE - Just checked on apple.com and my estimated delivery date is now 29 September - 6 October, so I have moved up a week! Yay! Anyone else got the same window? Less to wait which is good.

Last year my Verizon iPhone 6 Plus worked on both Verizon as well as AT&T. This year the unlocked phones Apple's selling have different model numbers: iPhone 6s Model A1633, iPhone 6s Plus, Model A1634 for AT&T etc., and for Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, iPhone 6s, Model A1688, iPhone 6s Plus, Model A1687. Their previous years Verizon would work on all, but the Apple unlocked wouldn't work on Verizon or Sprint. Not sure what the unlocked this year are going to be capable of, since unlocked model numbers require a carrier to determine which phone you're getting.

Yes the rep in store told me my pre-order really won't do me much good since it will be an AT&T phone. So basically even if the store was willing to return and then sell it back to me using the Apple Upgrade Plan; it wouldn't work since it's not unlocked :0/

So I guess I'll cancel my pre-order and just hope for a reservation starting Saturday....

Apple cut the pre-orders off, so there will be more in-store iPhones, and whatever estimated iPhones they had for pre-orders are starting to roll back to the ones who did get a chance to preorder. Good stuff.

Why? You may not get one. You might as well keep it, flip it or trade with some one who needs what you have.
 
Well I cancelled them. They were phones attached to a carrier so Apple Store said they couldn't be sold under the Apple Upgrade Plan ;(

Plus, with those on order (with a delivery date of 10/12-10/19) I wouldn't be able to try and reserve my phones in the meantime while waiting. Because I'd already have 2 phones on my account being purchased.

There is a good chance I can snag my phones each day at 8am online....before Oct 12th :)

Stupid question time, I pre-ordered an AT&T 6S Plus for full price through my mother-in-law's AT&T phone number, which I only used to satisfy the requirement of putting in an AT&T phone number. I heard anything purchased from Apple for full retail price is automatically flagged to be unlocked. My question is, having never done a phone unlock before (purchased Verizon or unlocked models before this), do I have to go through the AT&T process myself which I heard is quick, or will it be unlocked out of the box so I can put my T-Mobile SIM right in?

Basically I just want to get my hands on the ultimate 6S. Last year it was Sprint, this year it looks like AT&T.
 
Weird, I pre-ordered a Verizon 16gb gold on the 14th, 2 days after pre-orders went live. Card was charged last week and the status was changed to preparing to ship, but yesterday the money was placed back into my account and then charged again late last night. The preparing to ship status hasn't budged and it's still listed that i'll get my phone on the 25th...perhaps i should expect it to be delivered early next week.

Yea, city will be shut down as he goes through every part of town, starting tomorrow. Thank God, I have mine coming to NJ.:D

**Apple did say they will be making Saturday deliveries for those affected, in certain areas.**
