It is first come first serve. time order does affect estimate ship date.
There are difference between if you order 6 or 6+
16gb or 64gb. color matters as well.
ordering at at&t or apple.com matters.
Factor all that in and I don't see anyone cutting in line in front of me for that exact 6+ silver 16gb model at at&t.
Really?
I don't know what the problem is then.
Either way, I want more RAM. No reason not to have it.

New day means new reminder! They still have some left as a friend of mine just got a pack, so hurry if you want a set!

Of course, but I think some people had the expectation that it was going to be another big jump.
But with the transition to 20nm and switching partners (Samsung to TSMC, or at least part of the production) it was really a tall order even for Apple.
Makes perfect sense to go tick-tock from now on.
In addition to all of what you said, the location and stock levels of their closest distribution center to you may also matter. They're probably not going to ship you one from the other side of the country when they could send yours out from the distribution center 50 miles away a week later...
What do you guys think of this more ram for the iphone 6 plus rumor? I hope it's true
Don't think so, I guess the price would be a bigger difference than it is between 6 plus and 6 if there was more RAM in 6 plus.
Thanks, got one!
not worth it in my mind. caseless, no screen protectors, no jokes.

I STILL haven't gotten the confirmation email from Verizon. Still shows pending and 9/19 on the orders page on the site though....so I have no idea.
I wish I just knew either way.

The realest way to iPhone.

Oh man, if you want a car mount, this is the one to get. I've been through several, and this one is the first one that truly excels IMO. It's called the Mountek nGroove Grip, and it goes in the CD Player!
There is also a magnetic, slimmer variant if you wanna keep things slim. I cannot recommend these enough! They are also fairly priced.
I canceled my at&t order yesterday after it reflected the mid-late nov ship date for the 6 Plus and ordered from Apple
It seems at&ts order ship times are matching Apples at this point
Huh, seems like that would damage the player from the weight. Unless I am misunderstanding how it works

It sits on the very edge, not deep inside the player.

You control the tension and the load, and you don't need to use it in the player; you can use it in any crevice instead, should you have one. Basically, it holds itself to the metal in the top and bottom of the player, only the first centimeter or so. The only possible damage these things do is bend the felt guard of the player if yours is too spaced, but that it easily replaceable, or reversible.
There are tons of vids online and reviews, and people love these; i know I love mine!

Was gonna preorder the 64gb 6 in space gray, but after realizing how much I had to pay upfront I've decided to wait. If reviews and battery life are good, then ill try to buy it out right.

Yep, got the slimmer version with magnets as I was on a trip and renting a car, and renting a GPS is just absurd on price. Now my girl uses it in her car as her car didn't come with GPS(her next one will, I'll make sure of it.)
It absolutely does. Wyoming isn't receiving more iPhones than New York.

It's 100 USD less than a 5S a year ago for the same configuration, were you really expecting less for an off-contract phone?
Cool, thanks, been looking for a mount for the past couple weeks and this one looks like it would fit the bill along with a 6 Plus

I have to pay half up front, so its close to $400. And no, I'm glad we have a 64gb config instead of a 32gb one. It's just that the price of iPhones is quite outrageous, considering the fact that I could get a 32gb HTC one m8 unlocked for less than $600 with a 64gb sd card.
Well, considering a 32Gb Meizu MX4 is only $489, it does seem kind of steep.
Edit: And a 64Gb Xiaomi Mi4 is $500 if you order it through an importer, and it's way less in China.
Yeah so, I fully expect to get mine in mid October. Seems like there is something fishy going on with Sprint with the 6+ and their supply. Even from the moment their site went up live for pre-orders, they had the 16gb models of the 6 + being delayed with a 3-4 week shipping date. Only the iPhone 6 had release date delivery.
I wonder if only Apple directly had the bulk of 6 + for release date, and some of the carriers didn't get enough.

What good is a CD tray in 2014 outside of being a mounting point for a smartphone?

I bought one in 2012...
The damn car I had at the time only had a CD player, no aux or tape deck, and fuck FM transmitters.
Now, I have an Aux port and a CD Player, so I have my Mountek with a power cable and a AUX cable wrapped around it so I can easily plug my phone and go!

Sure, but my OCD'ness would annoy me still if it was being damaged

I was considering getting a bluetooth module for my car, but then I thought what the point was...
I mean, I am already using a cable anywhere to power the thing, what is one more cable for wired audio?

So I had to order the official apple black leather case seperate and it's actually due to arrive a little later than the phone. I've ordered this to use in the short interim for 9 dollars - it will be nice to have an alternative too when I want to show off the back :

October 7th for me, iPhone 6 64GB Space Grey
Not gonna stand in line.
Upgrading from a Droid X2, so this should be great

I don't know if this has been asked and answered but is there any news on the durability of the glass? I know that they aren't using sapphire but my iPhone 4 has been primarily in my pocket for 3 years now and I only have a few hairline scratches on it. My google search came up thin on the type of glass that they're using - some reports that it's probably Gorilla Glass again. I'm not interested in screen protectors for any of my apple devices.

If you were fine prior, you should still be fine, if not even better with this one. I must ask though, why not just get a screen protector (specially with those free ones posted a bit ago)? Is it that much of an eyesore? Is a few bucks not worth keeping a 650 USD phone pristine?

My Verizon thing still hasn't updated (my email says Friday) and their chat isn't working. Bah.

Yeah, that's the one I went with until I find a better case and some good case reviews come in.
You should get her an aux. cable and a smartphone.
The flaps that are at the front of most cd player slots do get damaged by the mountek.
