This 2 week wait is killing me

Same here. I've now been using this 4S for over 5 weeks and it's such an awful experience!
At least you aren't using an Android.
I'd probably gladly use an Android phone until the 25th. The other annoying thing about using this 4S is that it's locked to EE which means I can't use my Three SIM either. So my unlimited data tariff is just sat doing nothing and I'm trying to get by on an EE PAYG SIM with 500MB data when you 'top up' £10.
and upon reading the rest of the posts: people on this forum sure are mean....
he's EXCITED! don't rain on his parade!

Am I wrong in saying we are all pretty much like the OP? I mean we are more than people that just preorder the latest and greatest.....we are on a forum after all.
Don't let the negative folks rain on your parade. As the daughter of a former war refugee and survivors of The Great Depression, I'll pass along the bit of wisdom I learned from my family: help others when you can. Never lose your sympathy or empathy for those less fortunate. We each get our turn at hardship and at joy. Be strong through the former and be thankful for and celebrate the latter.
To those blasting this forum member, we get hardships in the first world, too. Cancer struck both of my parents unexpectedly this time last year. We can't count on our luck holding out so when someone is happy, embrace it. Don't turn up your nose at unbridled childlike joy. We should encourage it. Cynicism doesn't lead to innovation or creation. It's hope, imagination and optimism that do.
In answer to the original question, I am very excited about my upcoming Rose gold plus because it's been ages since I've had a phone of any kind that wasn't dark or grayish. Now that I've committed again to the larger size I've resolved to stop whining about the challenges of carrying it around. I'm having fun looking at cases and screen protectors since I'm going to give up my black and gray wallet folio case for awhile. I read and socialized here with fellow enthusiasts. And I'm evaluating the apps I have on my 6Plus.
GrumpyMom, you are decidedly not grumpy. If you keep writing posts like that you'll have to change your name.
This will be me at work. Excited like a kid a Christmas no not being able to concentrate!
Most of us already have a gorgeous iPhone already, this is just an update.. Perhaps you have an iPhone 6 or 5S now.. enjoy these last few days you have, get reacquainted with it and hark back to the joy you had when you first got that one.
On the other hand, if you have a non-iPhone..
.......I got nothing

Whoah! Never thought my thread would cause people to react so negatively. I busted my ass to save up for this phone and because of that, I'm so excited to have it in my hands. The anticipation of achieving what I set after this summer is what is making me impatient... and if you couldn't guess it already in 2020 I will be running for president. *drops mic*
Doing what I did before I pre ordered. The excitement waned when AT&T dropped the October delivery date for my 128 gb Space Gray 6s Plus. Same thing happened with me and the Apple Watch pre order.
using my S6 edge until my iphone arrives..hard when i'm using my air 2 and macbook on a daily basics.
Man, I wish I had enough free time to be impatient! The Apple Watch made me impatient, because pre order to delivery was so long, had more time to think about it, but it's been a week since the keynote and time is flying, only nine days, you'll make it without a break down, don't worry, hehe.
GrumpMom- wheren't you one of the few unfortunate people last year like me that got forced to wait till Nov to get our 6+? I remember your user name for some reason.
Yes. AT&T messed up our orders. We were among the first to order but among the last to be processed.
Glad to see your still lurking around here
Didn't realize what you where going thru last year with your parents, so sorry. I was going thru the same a year ago and just had my 1 year checkup and am cancer free. Feel very forunate for every thing in my life now and take nothing for granted. Best of luck in getting your new phone, hope the process is smother than last years disaster.
