Depends. How good is your credit?

Last go around I preordered through the apple store app, had it shipped to my door w/o any issues. The app was the only tool I could get to for preorder that morning, no issues.

That said, you can order through Next or the Apple upgrade program through the app. I use Next and have never had an issue with preordering or with delivery being on time, etc.

is it typically faster to get a phone thru apple or carrier?

Apple was great for me last year. Upgraded to the 6s Plus with AT&T Next. Heard some horror stories about AT&T's site last year for pre-ordering. Apple Store app was awesome.

Just know that if you're ordering on Next through Apple, you WON'T get a box in which to send your old phone back if you have to send it back to AT&T. If not, no worries!

We should qualify this: There is a difference between:

1. upgrading through <insert carrier plan here> at <insert carrier store here>,
2. upgrading through <insert carrier plan here> at the Apple Store, and
3. upgrading through the AUP at the Apple Store.

That is why I had asked about your credit, because if going through the AUP, and if you haven't done it before, it will be a hard pull on your credit report to determine your eligibility. That is not necessarily the case with a phone carrier's upgrade plan.
