And go to the Apple store everyday and hope to trade out once stock on the 6+ gets in.
Which is a real scumbag thing to do IMHO.

I wonder what time they'll start passing out tickets or give signs of what they have. I was planning on getting there by 5:45 AM or so but I'll be pissed if I stand in line for 4 hours and be told I can't get one.
My saving grace may be that most people are doing ATT, Verizon, or Sprint, and I got T-Mobile.
Any idea if they'll limit how many you can buy? I would hate to have some scalper buy 50 units and yolo while real customers are left behind.

If I was going to be in line this year, I would go at 9pm = 10pm the night before. Even then, the line in San Francisco is gonna be hella long.
Apple usually limits you to two iPhones. Carrier stores 5 (1 for each new line of service)
now that my upgrade eligibility finally works and i won't have to go to ATT i will go to the apple store probably at 11-12 last year when i got there at 12 there was like 10 people
I think it depends on the city, but I can tell you that in our area (Seattle and Vancouver), arriving at any of the Apple Stores after midnight will put you a hundred people or so back from the front of the line.
Last year we took in the Seattle stores, arrived at Alderwood at 10:30pm and were about 25 back, but security was chasing people off the property. So, we moved on to University Village, arriving at about 11:15pm, and were 142nd in line. The guy at the front of the line had arrived Thursday afternoon at around noon.
The previous years lining up at the Vancouver area stores, anything past 10pm put you into the 100+ place in line.

I plan on getting there at 6PM, mainly because last time I got the phone but they ran out of the Apple cases. I do want the case too.

Chased off?? I hope that doesn't happen. Where do people normally wait in line when when it's an "inside the mall" store?
Exactly, wondering where people line up for Apple stores that are inside malls, which is basically every store in my area.
I'm lining up at the T-Mobile store in Anaheim off the 91 cause my friend is lining up with me at 5am. But going to call just to make sure they at least have them in stock. I'm pretty sure the i6 64gb should be solid and they should have more than the plus.
I was ATT store today and they said they are limiting it to one iPhone per person. They said if I wanted 2 phones for 2 lines on my account I would have to have 2 people there to each buy one.
I called the Apple store and they are limiting customers to 2 phones per person.
Nope! I've been here and done that before 5am and you will be fine. Trust me on this one. Apple is expecting to sell 80mm units in a single quarter.
I'll be there at 1am Friday morning. Currently stuck in processing.
Did you pre-order for in-store pickup?
We all have the status "processing items."
anybody lining up at the apple store in pasadena?? Does it get pretty crazy? I am hoping to go to my local Mall, but after reading that it might be hard finding the iphone 6 plus 64 (in gold) at an AT&T Store, i am feeling nervous....I really do not want to go to Pasadena to line up....this would be my first time lining up....I usually pre-order but could not this time around...
6's should be plentiful... Yesterday morning I ordered a 128gb 6 for delivery on 9/19 on vzw. So I have no reason to believe there will be a shortage of 6's.
the 6 plus is a different story
However it is just a phone, so if I have to wait for a 6 plus then I will, no way am I camping for this.

Good luck with that. If you are looking for a Plus and thinking you can show up at 5AM and get one, you're dreaming. A regular 6, maybe.
Many people, including myself, are expecting the Plus to be in very similar to the gold 5S. The first 20 people in line got one and that was it. Some stores even less than that. The Plus was sold out just from people ordering off the IOS app before apple.com came up. If you throw in there that obviously you will be looking for a certain capacity/carrier, your chances of getting what you want are even slimmer.
I hope I'm wrong and time will tell, but I certainly wouldn't risk it.
You do not want to be THAT guy waiting in line at the Apple Store all night only to find you could've been there at 5am and still walked away with an iPhone 6+. You don't need to be the first person in line literally when Apple has ordered 80million iPhones to sell in one quarter.
I would rather be safe and line up earlier and make sure I get what I want, but that's just me. Ya' it will be annoying if I find out that you and others got there at 5AM and got just what you wanted. I would much rather be THAT guy than the one who sees the guy in front of him take the last Plus. Or have the Apple employee go down the line and tell everybody that they only have 30 of the +
Maybe if you tried to get the gold 5S on launch day, you would feel a bit more like me.
