Me too I ordered the exact same phone on 10/02 and estimated shipping is 11/14. I'm pretty sure it'll be before that though based on what I've read on here. Hopefully end of October or first week of November
Got a tip for us?

When the 6 was first being rumored I was not really thinking abt upgrading.
And the bigger kicker I was not eligible either. During pre-order I was still in
both boats too. Friday, Sept 19th, I decided to just go see both phones in person. I fell in love with the 6+ and wanted the 128 in gold. I told myself
to let it go bc I at least had a 5c. The next morning (September 20th) all I could think abt was how to get out of contract. I was not able to edge. I had a bad incident that happened to me in a VZ store the month prior which is why I was in contract. I called customer service and explained the situation. They were able to look at the notes and what I paid out of pocket. I was let out of my contract within 30 minutes. I upgraded (6+ 128GB gold) that same day Saturday, September 20. Now of course I do not go to the same VZ location that wronged me I went to another location, played with the 6+ and placed my order. I traded in one of my 5c's. The rep told me the ETA was Oct 16-18. I received the initial email but it was generic to me. It had my order number and the location code. But it had no ETA. When I went VZ's site to check the status it's just the order number and a blank white box. Today makes two weeks since I've ordered. It's the first time I've checked the status. I'll just check again in another week. I know weather plays a part in air shipping , production workers play a part and plus ground shipping.
I've been keeping myself busy deciding what case I want. I know I want the tempered glass protector.

It depends if your old two year contract is over or not. If it is then you don't need to turn in your old phone. If it isn't then you may need to turn in your old phone or pay the $200.
I ordered 6+ 128 SG (Edge) on 9/23 - ship date of 10/31. Went to VZW store today, told me they had a gold 128 but that there were 12 ppl ahead of me so it was likely I wouldn't get. Glad I didn't get my hopes up because it was a 6 and not 6+. Also ordered another 6+ 16gb gold for my mom on 10/1 and it had the same ship date as mine which makes no sense to me but I guess it's because of the color and size.
Same thing happened Friday when I went to Apple store during my lunch break. Said online they had a gold 128 gb 6+ and when I got there manager said it's likely someone reserved it and the system hadn't updated. I just want my phone!!!

Hmm.. Seems like there wasn't a lot of movement with folks reporting shipping notifications today.. Hopefully Monday brings good news..

Here's hoping so! Anything sooner than 11/14 would be great!
I'll just keep busy doing git pulls on some open source projects in the meanwhile..I'm a loser...

This may be a dumb question...but how do you folks know if these planes have iPhones for Verizon?
Not a dumb question, and the fact is...We don't know, at all. I am assuming they do since they are coming from China, and they have lined up well, especially the shanghai flight with the waves of deliveries. I really freakin hope Verizon pushes them out even faster. Come apple, lol give them some phones. The 16GB SG+ must be incredible hard to make...SMH
----------
Funny note, the fam and I were at our local Walmart tonight, and they have a 16GB 6+ SG in stock!!! Bad thing is, they can't do edge orders...
Still no tracking number on your SG 64GB iPhone 6? We ordered at roughly the same time, if I recall correctly. I still don't have a tracking number.
Man lets raise some money for one of us to go down to Foxconn and crack the whip MOAR IPHONE!!! /Chinese accent. Kidding aside I hope Apple surprises us with a sudden influx in supply. Maybe they need to start strapping these phones onto whales, sharks, etc. to make the voyage from China to Alaska lol.
Pretty similar situation for me! I have a 32gb blue 5c and didn't want to upgrade but when I saw the complete finished product I really wanted it. Luckily my dad had an upgrade and he actually offered to trade his upgrade for my iPhone 5c since his iPhone 4 is only 8GB and its really bogging down....I like my 5c allot but the 6 is like a new level of iPhone haha.

It doesn't help that China is ordering millions of them also. lol!
Lol exactly what I thought when I saw that. I thought great now that takes away resources to build mine lol.
Yeah it doesn't help at all...first war started over the supply of a smartphone here we go yayy....Does Apple only have China to throw these things together or do they have another country as well where they are assembled? (In other words quite frankly: What other country with lax labor laws can we take advantage of to speed this up in the future? Lol
)Honestly though I'm glad China is finally going to get the phone...I'd be pissed if I was promised a date and then my government went all national security and delayed it 15+ days
At least we have 3 planes coming in and they are all "heavies" 2 B777 and 1 MD11. They should** all have iPhones on them, especially the B777 straight from Shanghai.
Our time is upon us. Come on!! Hope one juSt has space gray pluses.

Any new word from anyone? Everyone still set except them 10/3 being delayed. Bs
Nope, nothing new from my end. My order was placed on September 12th at 11:55 AM for 6+ 128 Gig SG.
I will never ever and forever do a pre-order again!

Indeed!! First and very last. I've always been a late bloomer to things. Thought I would get a head start. But these was pointless. But I still have 19 days of waitin til my projected ship date.
I think this is going to be a lot of people's standpoint next year. With so many places to buy from, there's always one available somewhere within a couple weeks of the phone being released. This whole preorder thing is a waste unless you order within the first hour or two (12:00 midnight to 1:00am) of the preorder being open.
Indeed, this has been an utter disappointment especially when folks pre-ordered after me and have received their phones or the folks who do the walk-ins!
Don't get me wrong because I'm happy people have recieved their phones but come on man!
Agreed!!! I think if there are preorders still outstanding then there should be no stock in stores.
