Why can't Apple just make one universal model for all carriers. :rolleyes:

They probably will in a few years. But the radio technology is not there yet. And LTE really made it hard because there are so many bands throughout the world and on different carriers.
 
Apple can but these f$%@ing carriers won't allow those to work on their network. Verizon/Sprint phones work with GSM carriers outside US but not with ATT an Tmo.

That isn't true. The Verizon iPhone works on both AT&T and T-Mobile. The reason is the radio technology not business practices.
 
i tried to get the gold 128 gb att 6+ in edison nj but by the time i got to checkout it was gone smh and i can't believe 5th ave didn't get any at all i was ready to take that flight but oh well

My rMini iPad works on LTE. It is Verizon model but I use with ATT. Not sure I understand what you mean. With VoLTE addition, it should all be same, right? Or I am missing something?

Looks like Verizon works but not Sprint.
 
Go get in line in couple of hrs to ensure being 1st? Seems like the 1st people always get 6+, would suck if i waited till 9am and they don't have at&t above 16gb
 
I have ATT, if i order a new 2 year line with VZ but go to the store for in store pick up and ask to not go through with the new contract and buy the phone outright is that possible? Thanks!
 
I got it !! It came available a little after 11:20pm PST Iphone 6+ 16GB Silver Verizon after 3 days of nonstop refreshing Apple Stores in 200mi radius in Southern CA for all 12 models of Iphone 6+.

I've spotted the 6+ before, so I CANCELLED my shipping order to buy it for pickup but apparently they became unavailable for pickup while I was trying to buy it (maybe someone else got them?) So I would have to wait another 3-4 weeks again!!!

The store that I bought the 6+ from is now unavailable again so I guess they only had 1 in stock. Why only one in stock?

I can't wait to pick up my Mona Lisa tomorrow! :D
After driving 120 miles of course.

this is so messed up. After four nights of trying i finally find the phone i want and when i put in my att info it says there seems to be a problem with my account, call att. I called att and even they don't know.
 
I got error messages too from a number of stores, but one or 2 try's I made through the app said that my process was interrupted apple would contact me if the order went through..

Anyone get this message, should i hold out any hope what so ever?
 
Why have none of the south Florida locations received any Verizon space gray iPhone 6+s within the past few days. Strange.

One glimmer of hope is that I do love looking at this thread and seeing other individuals trying as hard as me. Some die hard fans here. I am not trying to flip the phone, would love it for myself.
 
How is it possible that I get an error message so many times at so many stores and the item still shows as available.

So frustrating.

Anyone ever get the error message using the app where it says Apple will call you if your order went through?
