which model?
Mine was running hot for the first 30 minutes or so but is fine now. Can't comment on the battery since it's not fully charged yet. Regular 6 here.

smells like coffee and stale urine at the apple store In Killadelphia right now.(Walnut)
It is just a case. A lot of retail establishments give a 30 day return window on things like that.

I have good 4G reception in my house, this is amazing. I just did a speedtest and I can get like 10mb/s down. Amazing.
He's right. You have 2 weeks to return it, no matter the condition.
Got the last plus (or so I was told) at ATT. 12th in line at a big city (Dallas) store. I saw the guy two behind in line me get a plus as well. Kinda odd to me. Gf and I were both after the same phone (64) and I ended up with a 16 because I hardly use any storage. Didn't even expect to get a phone today just took the deal. She preordered one and the rep was saying Xmas for shipping. This thing is the perfect size! My thumbs are hurting a bit heh

The 16 gig iphone 6 is really, really small but ESPECIALLY small on the 6+. As apps update to accommodate the larger screens, the sizes of apps will inflate as part of generating higher res assets. You add to that higher res video recording/pictures and it's gonna get tight. The 16 gig 6+ is really closer to an 8 gig phone once that happens, and people who have the 16 gig will be suffocating under the limited amount of memory it offers.

Oof... I hope you're right. 16GB feels so insanely tight to manage. My wife has a 16GB 5S and it's murder to try and free up space. It's all pictures/videos...like 20 apps total.
Awesome that you guys got the phone, though!

Got mine. I hope it lives up to the hype. (It's my first phone too.)
I should have gone with my gut and waited for the Apple online store to come back online.
This is truly baffling, some people pre-ordered before the AT&T site even came online and even they didn't get their phones on release day.
Is that place closer to you than Cherry Hill?

Gotta love those manhole covers that just spew visible rotten egg gas all over the streets!
People can't save their spot in line if they need a bathroom break?

This is the bane of my existence. I check it every oh, 30 minutes or so.I'm not crazy
I do this and I probably won't receive mine for another couple of weeks at least.
I'm that crazy.

Your first phone?
Do you know which end to hold up to your ear?
If you need any help dialing numbers, just ask. I believe most numbers in the terrestrial US are 10 digits. You can find many phone numbers in the phone book. Try dialing a few and making new friends.

I don't download video, play games or take many photos on my phone so I should be fine with 16GB.
To be fair, it's probably that Apple is not giving AT&T enough iPhones. And selling most of them themselves.

I ended up going into the store and comparing the sizes of the 6 and the 6 plus and decided to not settle for the 6. The 6's screen was nice but the size, potential battery life, and the resolution made me make a retreat. I can't settle, I want the 6 Plus. Verizon will call me.
Or... will I have a better chance just ordering it online today and waiting, I wonder? The store said it could be a week it could be a month, but they would call me. I tend to not believe them, myself.
I plan on auto-uploading to OneDrive so I can delete photos quickly.
If iOS 8 doesn't have auto-upload like Windows Phone, then I'm screwed.

Place an order in today. You should be able to cancel if you find what you want sooner.
I have two online orders placed. One with Bell (my carrier) and one with Apple since I imagine they will restock faster.

Plus?
Still makes you realize just how fragile these things are. I realize the visual appeal of not having a case for your phone, but protect your investment and buy a case guys. Pretty scary how a four foot accidental drop can not only crack your screen, it will protrude from the phone a little.
Either way, I am sure he is financially coming out ahead given the view count.
Ah okay - that makes sense. I actually didn't even know Apple had a story in Philly.
Regular, 64GB. Everything's going to shit. Running a fresh backup, now can't even download anything from iTunes. And it's still running crazy hot.

Ha, you know I didn't even ask.
Just called. No 6 Plus, they didn't even receive any. Lady on the phone said they have "a lot" of the 4.7" model though.

It does. You can auto upload to iCloud drive, and keep only the optimized version on your phone. Should be a lifesaver for the 16gigers out there.
Yup just like that.
They dont get lint at all because they arent sticky like silicone. Also after being in heat, they dont expand like silicone. The cases are snug so nothing gets caught in between the case and phone like silicone does. Its hard to describe, but TPU is only soft in the sense that it flexs, but its not soft like silicone at all. Its not squishy in the sense that you can squeeze it, but soft enough where you can make an impression if you press your nail into it hard. If youve ever had a self-healing cutting mat, id say TPU is about that level of softness.
I never took my 5 out of its case to clean any lint in between the case and the phone in the year that I had it. My pockets are also never that linty though.
