Just a hurry up and wait game until iconic status changes to "s". That's the reality of it. Stinks


My iconic status has been changed to sent for processing, and got charged on my CC, but got the email about 11/10. A lot of people say it'll happen Monday, I hope it's true. I only went with verizon b/c apple f*cked up my data plan and verizon offered me 6gb of data for dropping unlimited.

What kind did you get?
 
Finally got some info on my 16GB iPhone 6 Plus Silver. Was supposed to ship by 11/7 but got tracking info and says it should be here Wednesday. Finally.. feels like I have been waiting forever.
 
Ordered VZW 6 Gold 64 on 10/9, expected shipment on 10/24, confirmation of on-track 10/15. Nothing as of yesterday. istocknow showed the model in stock all over NorCal. Cancelled VZW order and went to Apple

I got the same email about 11/10 after mine went to "S" status. I wouldn't sweat it too much. I think your probably in the clear.

Hopefully good sign for me, 64 gb 6+. I missed out at apple this morning, so with an 11/7 date, might as well wait the few days
 
Could you tell us more? When did you cancel your order? I was told that in order for the 200 promo to work you have to order with VZW before 10/15. My new order date would be November if I cancel and get the phone from Apple store instead.
Mine was a pre-order from 9/12/2014 and I got the phone at the Apple Store 9/22/2014. cancelled my pre order right in the store when the Apple guy had mine in hand in front of me. ifyou ordered that late then you cercumstances changed drastically. :eek:

That makes more sense now! I think you were able to still get the $200 because the promo was still going on when you got your phone from Apple. The promo ended on Oct 15 so now everyone else is stuck with VZW in order to get the full trade in value.

Sucks for me because all Apple stores in NYC has my phone in stock. Yet I have to wait for VZW to get their s*** together
 
I threw the towel in this morning and cancelled my 6plus order with Verizon and waited at the Apple Store. I picked up a 64Gb Gray with no problem. Good luck to everyone holding out!
 
Oh I wish but I am going to lose my $200

Same here. :confused: I haven't even gotten the delay email. Just, nothing, like my order is frozen. I've had it checked by a bunch of different people, and no one has anything remotely concrete.

It'd be a lot easier to wait if I knew I was going to get a phone at the end of it. At this point, I'm not even sure about that.
 
Did anyone get a text from verizon yesterday offering 4GB of data for free? That's what I'm paying for right now, it said to reply yes, no changes to the plan or contract. I know it's from them and not spam though.

I checked in my city and no store has the phone I want, best buy, target, apple. :( I'm stuck waiting.

Are you on the 6GB plan before you got the text? They are offering up 10GB for the 6GB price, and its available to current subscribers too. So thats what they mean by "Free". Its a new promo. they are also offering $150 for porting into Verizon, but don't think that offer is available for current subscribers.

Edit: I just re-read what you wrote, you are on the 4GB; I don't know what thats about. Haven't seen any other promo's besides the two I mentioned above.

Well i never get emails. But obsessively check MyVerizon. Did you check your order status there? And waiting sucks. I ordered a cheap case from Amazon that will do until i can get a better one.

Yea been checking it pretty often nothing yet but ill keep checking what case did you get?
 
Decided to take a chance since some people were having luck finding them in stores. Delivery date wasn't until 11/14. Checked and the five Apple stores in Connecticut all had my config - 64+ SG. Took a chance and canceled my Verizon order online, then bought the phone online for pickup at the New Haven Apple store.:) This was early, about 11:15 am Eastern, right when the stores here open.

I should say that I canceled once before online and tried to buy online at Apple but not that many stores had my config, and before my payment could process they were out (or the inventory at Apple didn't update timely), and I had to re-order and got the 11/14 date. So this is not something I would recommend for everyone unless you have a lot of stores around you with the model you want. I just didn't feel like driving and waiting in line to maybe get a phone when the closest Apple store is 40 minutes away.

Next time though, I'm going through Apple. I only had a Galaxy S3, so I don't have to worry about the $200 trade in.
Anyway, just wanted to say good luck to everyone, hope you get your phones soon.:)
 
Yea the closest Apple store to me is about 100 miles away and my local stores like Best Buy and Target only ever have 16GB models in stock. I wish there was an Apple store close to me.
 
I feel like I'm going to wait forever. Pretty sure Verizon is ignoring my order that I placed on 9/29 because I ordered 2 phones at the same time. Of course the closest Apple Store is in Denver an 8 hour drive both ways so that's not gonna happen and Best Buy here in town never has my configurations for my phones. I feel totally stuck. Damn you Verizon. :mad:

Where are you? Because I'm in WY and nowhere near any Apple , store or Best buy or even a corporate Verizon store.
