Apple iPhone 6 [OT]

- Start date
Not yet. It simply means that you have a specific iPhone 6 unit assigned to you and waiting to ship.
Wait for your Apple Order Status to go to "shipped" to be sure.

These people are doing this to be part of an event, right?
I don't know if this is the same everywhere else, but it's pretty easy to go to a local carrier's store a few hours before opening and secure a phone. There are rarely long lines.

Local carriers in Canada are just dicking everyone over with locked phones on 2 year contracts requiring a minimum of 80 dollars.

I downloaded swiftkey, though! Right now it just looks like a notes app.
Maybe they haven't activated the 3rd party keyboard piece.

Any t-moblie USA peeps getting tracking info?

link to the app?
Yup. It's cheaper to buy the phone outright and go month to month rather than dealing with the big three. Sad.

No that's the old one. I don't see the ios8 version released yet.

this hurts more than I could have imagined
Try both, pick the one he likes? If you have the money it would be a smart thing to do.

The whole swipe key-entry feature isn't working for me. Boo.
WTF man? There goes my hope of going in on Friday morning and picking up one... oh well, mine is going to ship a week later, I can wait.
Calculated it out... and it would cost me an extra $57 (because of being forced into an expensiver contract) to actually subsidize my phone with Rogers. Plus $50 to unlock it and getting locked into another 2 years.
Going with Apple nets me savings of $107 PLUS having 6GB of data instead of the paltry 500MB they're offering.

Are you trying on an iPad by chance? It says the swipe feature is iPhone and iPod Touch only.

It's been really depressing in these threads reading the non-US users' complaints about being locked into "shitty" contracts that are better than any US contract. Wonder if we'll ever get carriers that give us straightforward pricing...

Well, received my Apple leather case, my Spigen clear case and my Tech Armor screen protectors, now just waiting on the phone!

Link to the Spigen?
To me its more about phone insurance. You drop it you don't want it dead.

They lined up at the 5th avenue store after the event last week.
Most now do it for publicity. They usually have their company logos everywhere.
Have never used a case.
Never had a scratch.
But I'm unique. Most people I know claim scratches happen within minutes of they go naked.

I have never had a scratch. However I did drop my phone on the street and the back now has a crack.

Is that so? My sister who's in the US laughs now everytime she comes back to Canada. She carries here international dialing plan from AT&T and it's STILL cheaper than what Rogers offers. Here's a quick query:
Rogers (Canada - http://www.rogers.com/web/content/plans-pricing):
$70 /month
500MB Data
Overage $15/300MB
1000 Canada-Wide Minutes
Unlimited Canada-Wide after 6 pm
Unlimited Messaging
AT&T (http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/data-plans.html#fbid=ys0jaG34KM3)
$65 /month
2GB Data
Unlimited Talk and Text
Pretty sure you guys have it MUCH better right now.
The main reason why I use a case, one drop and a crack is on your brand new phone most definitely going to happen.
I've never used a case or a screen protector, but ordered Apple's leather case due to the camera wobble issue as well as ZAGG's Invisibleshield Glass (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-iphone-6-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields/9339) because I'm deathly afraid of dropping this rounded phone lol.
We'll see if I actually use them...

Extremely viable if you don't have a tendency to drop things. And this isn't a dig at people who do, I am just always very conscious of keeping my phone safe.
I always go naked on all my phones. I've had cases in the past, but usually ditch them after less than a week.

Doesn't look like my phone has shipped, but they've always arrived on time so I'm not worried. Mine always come with FedEx, though. Is it for sure UPS only this time or could it be either?
Bought this case. Hopefully it's like a full coverage version of the Apple cases, but it has an ugly logo:

Got my spiegen clear case today..when I took off the sticker inside the case, it left two nasty and deep scratches. It feels pretty nice in the hand but I have a feeling I'm going to use this one for a few weeks max. It's about what I expected, to be honest. My leather case is coming today too but I may just return it and use the spiegen till I can get the official silicone case from apple in October.

Why silicone over leather? I'm still deciding between the two for later on but I was leaning toward leather.

Here is the Speck! Sorry about the quality of the shots, I only had a potato on hand (iPhone 3GS).
As you can see, near the top, there is a thinner line, probably to aid in insertion of the phone. Honestly, I like the feel of this one more in the hand than the Spigen. It's 35 USD at ATT if you want one. I also really like that the lip protecting the screen is higher, and that the back is ever so slightly thicker, making sure that the lens will not protrude.
Now, one thing about the Speck AND the Spigen is that you might need a new Aux cable in your setup; none of the cables that fit the 5 cases I owned fit either one of these 6 cases due to the thinner design, so be prepared to get a new one.

That's...uhh..... I don't think that's supposed to happen.
That's just like your opinion man.
I've upgraded every year for six years and each upgrade has felt like a giant leap to me.

I went naked on my 3, 4 and 5. I had each phone for two years. The 3 and 4 were beasts and I never had an issue other than minor wear and tear with no scratches on the screen at all. The 5 scratched the day I got it and after two years of use there are multiple scratches on the screen, chips in the paint and a ton of scratches on the back glass. Decided to get a skin for the 6+ just in case.

literally ordered the same ones. I did the regular outfit on mine gray/gray
