If I didn't preorder one of these? Can I still get one? I am looking for the 6+ version.
I don't think anyone has been able to just show up and pick up a 6+, but the 6's seem to be in stock

I did at an apple store. My apple store had a 100 of them and I got one standing at number 40 in the line
I held the 6 first then the plus but immediately the 6 felt . too small
Typing on my new iPhone 6 (white 128gb)
It's pretty thin. Looks a little nicer in person than I originally thought. But this thing is a bit too big for me. Not really comfortable for me to use with one hand. The 6 plus must be a monstrosity. This is definitely a step up from my 5 for web browsing, but texting was more comfortable with the smaller phone.
It's nice tho. Feels like it's going to fly out of my hand at any second. Sucks caring about my phone again! It definitely does feel lighter than the 5 although it's not.
Also, how are they going to update the software keyboard to include (useless) predictive texting but they haven't "fixed" the shift button yet.

Seems to be the case.
There was no little x but I was able to select all my old phones (had like 3 of them on there) and selected remove from my account.
Hopefully that does the trick.

This phone is a dream to hold and use. Its thin but the smooth edges make it super comfortable to hold. Holy shit.

Still waiting on the 6 to show up. I'd be fine if the 6 was 4". Just want the boost in camera abilities and Apple Payment.
It's a thing of beauty. It feels so organic in the hand, not like hard, cold technology. It instantly made my iPhone 5 feel old.

Is anyone else unimpressed with the cameras? I have an iPhone 6 here, and I honestly am not seeing any difference between the pictures it takes, and the pictures my iPhone 5 takes.

Well, just got back home from T-Mo. Ran up there after work to just check them out.....and I am back home with a 64GB Space Grey.
I honestly had no intention of trading. I knew the camera would perform better than my M8, but I had no idea it would be that significant of a difference. That pretty much sealed the deal, that, and they had one 64GB model left, and nothing but 16's other than that.
So....I'm sad to leave Android behind. Real sad. I know there's the usual mindsets of one on the other, but I loved Android's customization end. But the form factor, and camera really won me over. It is a gorgeous piece of tech, and I'm such a sucker for that.

I meant right now, the chances are slim for a +.

How does it work if you buy one at an Apple store?
Don't you have to buy one contract to get the subsidized price? How do you get that price if you buy it in the Apple store?
got an email from spigen. Seems like they will address the buttons issues with a little addon they will ship for free.
Good for them to be on top of things.

Just tried to buy a sprint phone at the apple store. Every time they tried to upgrade it said unable to access account due to manager/employee account. No one could touch it at the apple store, you can't even add a new line to it. I ended up buying the phone for full price, sealed, no activation, just because I know it's out of stock by now everywhere ($949, sprint 6+ space grey).
going to take it to a sprint store and see if they can give me a rebate/discount if I activate with a 2 year contract extension. and if I can keep my sero. otherwise I'll just return the phone to the applestore and wait 2+ months to get a plus and see if I stick with sprint or go to another provider.
Are you view it on your phone or on your computer? Also are you basically just viewing pictures uploaded to Twitter/Facebook/Instagram or the uncompressed images?

I'm viewing them on my phone, immediately after taking them.
Viewing pictures on your iPhone is not indicative of the actual quality of the picture.

I figured. But I expected to see some difference I suppose, even on my phone.
Additionally, I searched on Google, but isn't there supposed to be a difference with the phones ability to focus more quickly while taking pictures?
Has anyone in the Oct 13-Oct 10 range for an Apple site 6+ order had their date changed today? I've read that some people have had their phones shipped and will deliver tomorrow but mine is still chilling and driving me CRAZY. :')
I told myself I'd be fine with it but AT&T just activated LTE in my part of California and now my phone (S3) feels even more gimped because it just runs SO SLOWLY even with the faster internet. Everyone's new phones are making me feel happy yet sad.

It looks so incredibly nice in person when you get to touch it. The way the glass and case merge is so seem less, it feels like one solid, light piece of glass and aluminum. Like they're fused together. It's incredible, even the antenna bands on the back look nice on the space grey one.

Feels like barely anyone in the thread actually has the 6 Plus.
I have both but never opened the 6..
The 6 Plus is the one I think I will keep.
- It is huge.
- Cant use it in one hand that's for sure. You will drop it way too easily
- Most if not all 3rd party apps appear too zoomed in. App developers need to get some updates soon that scales everything down. I feel like I'm 85 and turned up my font size.
- Apple apps and desktop look absolutely ace on it though
- Keyboard typing feels great on this screen size
- Screen looks awesome.
- Fits nicely in my pocket (I don't wear skinny jeans. Just straight leg/boot cut/regular fit jeans)

It does anywhere Li-ion is used.

Yep, just go back ASAP and I'm fairly certain that if you walk up to the Genius Bar and explain that your phone's borked, they'll swap out on the spot from their extra stock.
This is my biggest fear, that most apps will take way to long to be updated...just like with the i5
Apple's marketing "Focus Pixels" but they aren't commenting on what it actually is other than it auto-focuses better and faster. It's probably phase detection though. Basically using 2 sensors to determine what part of an image is in the front and what part is in the back. Think the HTC One M8's camera if you're familiar with that.

I'm not.
I mentioned it, because it seems as slow to focus as my iPhone 5 unfortunately.

Yes. Great deal by Verizon.
I know that. Keeping it 100% all the time is still not good.

Waited in line for 9 hours only for them to runout when I was 4th in line.
Apple shouldn't allow people to get two phones per person.
Certain "group" of people were all buying 2.

I agree but he shouldn't feel scared to charge his phone and go to sleep
I have a 6+ 64gb Black ordered from Apple.com with the same est date. Also have a T-mobile order (same phone) "preordered" even though I ordered on the 12th. Hope to just cancel whichever comes 2nd.

No phone still. Feels bad man.
Okay, I was using what's basically a repurposed word since that old kind of overcharging doesn't exist anymore.

Fuck, I thought going to the Apple Store would solve my debate, but it didn't. The 6 is the perfect size and one-handed operation is nearly perfect. The 6+ has a great screen, but it's not fitting anywhere in my pants and one-handed operation is almost dangerous. Yet I could get rid of my failing Nexus 7 without getting something ridiculous. The 6+ battery life is great too.
