The iPhone 6S/6S Plus Pre Order thread

I have thought about this since, it actually turned out to be 08:01 UK time for the Apple Watch. I have no idea where the 6 o'clock came from. My bad.
Well, looks like you are right. I found some 6s Plus cases on Amazon.
The Poetic bumper case will look good on that 6s Plus gray, I'm hoping to get. I'm careful with my devices so I prefer the bumper. I've gone naked but would rather have something light on the phone. I'll wait until my pre order is actually placed before ordering a case though. Not only am I not sure of the color selection (till the 9th) but also uncertain whether I'll be successful in pre ordering from AT&T.
Looks like they ship on or around September 15th.
I was surprised to see this. Didn't check until I saw your post.
I am nervous about preorder. Verizon said I don't have an upgrade, but they have an early upgrade option where they take $200 off any smartphone. The only way to take advantage of that is in store or on the phone. :\ Has anyone been successful with calling in at midnight (pacific time) to preorder?
I saw it on the UK preorder thread. I ordered Liquid Crystal Clear case from Spigen. It will match any color. Later
I will get more cases, since I like to switch them around.
My A-Level centre requires me to be on-site by 8:30 and it takes me 25 minutes to drive in GOOD traffic... This will be cutting it close xD
So the assumption right now if we want to buy the new iPhone at full retail, we have to opt for the Verizon version since its unlocked? During last years release when was it confirmed that VZ had the unlocked version?
I have the at&t unlimited data plan, but I've always ordered from Apple online store. The at&t rep said I can keep the grandfathered unlimited data, but they're not doing the 2 year contracts from Apple anymore. This needs clarification, I don't mind the "Next" plan philosophically, but I don't see that there's any savings from the "Next" plan, since I have to pay an extra $35 a month to pay it off in 24 months.
If I simply buy it full price unlocked, can I simply trade out the nano sim card from my iPhone 5S? With the "Next" plan am I paying nothing out of pocket at time of purchase with the extra $35 tacked onto my monthly bill?
My iPhone 5S is white/gold, my prior iPhone 4S was white/silver (both 64 GB) I'm going with the iPhone 6S 128 GB, probably in Space Gray this time around, although I wouldn't object to any of the other colors. My hunch is the Rose Gold will be the trophy color and less available this year. I wouldn't mind it, but it's not something I'm dying for.
I want to look into ordering online and doing the store pickup if that's an option. I ordered the 4S preorder and got it on release day. The iPhone 5S was ordered 45 minutes after the hour and I didn't get it for something like two weeks later, they sell out in a hurry.

I'm in the same position. You can get the 2 year contract with subsidized pricing. To verify this, just go to your account and select upgrade. They will offer the NEXT program but you'll also see the 2 year contract option. I went to the AT&T Store and saw the 2 year contract option as well. While it's true that you can not get the 2 year contract from the Apple Store any more, you CAN still get the 2 year contract option from AT&T.
Be warned though that they will try to get you off of unlimited data and try to push you to get the NEXT plan. That's been my experience with AT&T.
Because of the publicity surrounding Apple's statement that the size change is very minor, I wonder if people are really producing cases specific to the 6S and 6S Plus, or if they're at this point just saying that they are.
I agree with you that it's not necessarily the best deal for the consumer.
The only problem that I see with this is that your Next Plan device will be locked both to AT&T and might be locked to your account. You won't be able to sell it, will you?
This has been my asumption, there is no other reason for Spigen, for example, to be selling cases for £0.99 other than to clear stock for their actually new 6s cases.
You are right indeed, I did post a correction in the other thread as I am getting my times mixed up!
Then that is false advertising then. If they say the cases they are for the 6s, they are for the 6s!
Anybody else getting excited about tomorrow? Am I preaching to the choir?
This thread is somewhat dead-er than I expected, how about that new box leak huh? All I ever wanted was a fish wallpaper.
Yes this thread is dead but will kick in full force after the event and even more once pre orders start!!
Definitely thinking I am going to do gold this time around for the 6S+.
