BTW this was my first and last time in line for an iPhone it was too tiring
But worth it as I originally had an apple pre order delivering on October 20. I cancelled the order while I was in line and att eligibility came back in 5 minutes

Got in line at my Verizon corp store, 19th place at 8am. I had a lot to accomplish, including trading in my iPhone 5, canceling a verizonwireless.com order for the 6+ that I changed my mind about, and changing from the unlimited plan to the $60 2GB loyalty plan. The whole thing ended up costing $129.99 for the iPhone 6 64GB Silver after my trade in and upgrade fee. Very smooth process. I'm stoked.
The Verizon people did try to sell me everything under the sun when I was there though, including iPads, home phone service, insurance, accessory bundles, screen protectors, and even ringtones, but I stood firm and politely declined it all.
This thing is sexy, coming from a black 5 to a white 6. Always have had black phones but the white one really does it for me.

I wish this shit wasn't always such a mess.
Yeah man, the line was really really long. I just walked into the Tmobile store that was across the street and picked one up there. Only like 3 people in line.

No I totally agree, freaking crackheads and pan handlers will try to swipe it on Walnut.

Some guy on Macrumors is saying his AT&T 6+ order which was "preparing to ship" after 10/2 showed up via UPS today out of the blue. Seems pretty fantastical to me, but maybe UPS My Choice isn't 100% reliable.

Was your address off by one letter or something?
;_;
I can't hold at a FedEx location because AT&T/Apple doesn't allow it and FedEx can't change the shipping address because of restrictions.
Fucking hell.

BTW the plus is not too big infact after holding both the 6 and plus at the store the 6 looked too small

I probably got yours. I went on tmobile.com last week just to see how much it would cost me to upgrade without jump.never hit the submit button and exited, sent me an email 3 days later telling me my iphone 6 will be delivered september 25th. never gave them my credit card info, called them up, they tell me " guess you are lucky, here is your tracking number" i dont see a charge for this either" sorry guy, i will prob send it back anyways
Size queen.
You're getting a free phone and sending it back? WHY?

I played with it today and I hated how big it felt when I held it up to my head.
I am one of those olds who still makes phone calls.
Definitely going with the regular 6.
Felt like a good evolution from the 5. I am not ready for phones as big as the plus.
By signing off do you mean immediately visiting gaf on your new phone?
Yup I think I'm stuck in a loop now because I wasn't asked to accept terms & conditions and now I can't trigger it to ask me.
Same. I assume it's just due to the heavy usage from all the new phones.
Once you experience a screen over 5 inches it's really damn hard to go back to something smaller. Just wish Apple were able to shrink their bezel footprint.
I share an account with my parents and siblings because it is under our family business account (good deal, it's 5 lines, unlimited talk/text, and 10GB data I think for like $200ish) - thus, I couldn't order on Apple myself due to the account type not being supported or order from AT&T because I'm not the primary account holder. Of course, when ordering over the phone, the rep that took the order from my mom didn't put the floor of the giant commercial building I work in (345 Park, it's the NFL HQ coincidentally lol). Looks like I'll be able to pick it up from a FedEx hold facility though after some hassling, but not until after 7pm *sigh*
Is it just iCloud only? I have like 200GB on OneDrive, 12GB on Dropbox, and 15GB on Google Drive. 5GB on iCloud won't suffice.
Also, I can't upload full quality pictures??

I'd sit on it for a month. If no charge, it's mine to keep
I might just do that! i have a LG g3 anyways, whats the going rate on these iphones right now anyways?
Yep, that's how they're meant to be. Couldn't believe there's literally no difference on the boxes between the 6 and the 6 plus except for a) the size of the box (I suppose) and b) it has what model it is written in small letters on the bottom. That's it.
Looks kind of silly but hey it's just a box.
I bet the black silhouette ones look nice unless those are blank too.

Is it new that on T-Mobile, you can easily use the WIFI tethering option?
At least on Verizon that feature was not available for us. Pretty cool.

Haven't seen one of the black ones in person or anything, but a quick glance at unboxing videos on Youtube makes it look like those are blank too. Which is weird, but there you go.

Can anyone recommend a good minimum iPhone 6 Plus case which has lips to protect the screen from receiving impact?
