So I can pre order the plus at apple.com at 2am central tonight?

If you do Next with your unlimited, your plan price is going to go up by the installment payment amount.
It's basically like paying full price for the phone without getting a discount on your plan; you just get to do it over 20 installments.
Silly, in my opinion, but if you regularly use well over 5GB of data, I guess it could be worth it.
I find the shared plans to actually be a decent deal with the discounted off-contract rate, especially with tethering.
Then stick with the iphone 6 instead of the plus...
Anyone know how much a perfect condition 5s should get me?
That's why there is a choice. Unless you mean the 4.7" won't fit in your pocket, in which case I think you may be mistaken.
Bigger screens (up to a point) are better for smartphones. 4" was too small for the majority of consumers, Apple finally realized this.
I'm gonna have to go into an ATT store because I just don't get it. I'm not sure what the best deal is for me. I have a grandfathered iphone 4, want to get a iphone6 which I am able to upgrade since I am out of contract. However my wife still has 1 year left and is wanting an iphone 6 as well. she has a 5s currently. But she is only able to get the ATT Next plan. Which means she pays for her phone in 24 installments. So she technically isn't getting a "deal" per say. Just financing her phone?

That's a fair point, but then things like vector graphics (especially in Maps) come into question in terms of how they'll look.
Should be fine...?!
You can trade in your 4S to AT&T when you purchase your phone. You'll receive a $200 credit.
Of course, you will have to do that in store.
I think I'm going with the 6. Looking at the paper cutouts I feel like the 6+ is going to be too big. I typically put a thin case on my phone and I feel like it's just going to make it a little unwieldy. I can't even imagine what those things will look like with those crazy otter box cases. Anyway if I play the the 6+ in store and feel like it's not too bad I can always exchange it. I'll just have to suck up and pay the restocking fee.
Here's to hoping Verizon's site doesn't implode tonight.

If it's the same as last year, than yes you can.
I ordered an iPhone through Apple's site and another through Verizon's since I didn't get a confirmation from Apple...turned out both went through, cancelled the Apple one...no problem. No charge.
I believe Apple charges once the device ships vs. at point of sale.

How do I make sure none of my personal data is left on the 4S? Do they transfer everything in-store at the time of purchase?
It's in your best interest to cancel it 48 hours before the phone's release.
If you wait any later, you're going to be out of luck.

Ultimately you can return/exchange within 30 days right? Seems crazy to worry about though, now.
Earliest I would worry is after anandtech's review. Their 23-page review of the iPhone 5 is probably the level of detail to expect for their 6 review, probably even longer now that there are two very distinct models. If there is even the slightest visual blurriness of the Plus to the regular 6 or even 5/5S, I'm sure they'll mention it, and show extremely close-up pics illustrating it for anyone to see. They usually compare the screen in detail to prior phones, and I expect them to say it's an all-around improvement.
Glad this will be my first off contract phone. I'm sticking with my £15/month unlimited data (with tethering) plan until they prise it from my cold dead hands.
YOU HEAR ME THREE? I DON'T CARE ABOUT 0800 NUMBERS!
WHY
It looks like the iPhone is wearing a pair of assless chaps
I'm not positive but I hope the sim cards from the 4S fit with the 6. I'm in the same boat.
Also though with the iCloud, your contacts and stuff should be saved so when you log in with the 6, it should sync.
Anybody can confirm this?

when upgrading to a 5s though Apple.com, I get the following options:
on the next page I don't have an option for unlimited
I don't know.
All of my data is in iCloud. It's the easiest way to do things.
They probably tell you to completely wipe the phone before you trade it in.

I use 15-20 gb a month.
Get Space Gray.WHY
At the end of the day, though, you're doing something wrong if you're constantly staring at the back of your phone.
I'm still going back and forth between the Note 4 vs 6+.
I own a MBP and iPad so it makes sense to go with the 6+ but the Note 4 specs just seem ridiculously good in comparison. I know specs don't matter that much, etc, but I can't help it.
I'm upgrading from a Nexus 4 lol so either phone would be a monstrous upgrade.

I would believe that the 6+ will be similar to the 6. They will increase the speeds internally or whatnot. Its like how ipads have an A8x chips to compensate for the larger screen and etc.

Make sure fit to page isn't selected otherwise it'll be smaller than it should be.
That is space grey no?
WHY
Ew...
*buys case*
Ugly as sin (Apple? Really?) but I still think I'm going to get space grey.

Have to admit, that doesn't look too good. Could be the lighting though, as the silver looks darker than it should.
I really don't want black/space grey again as I've had black iPhones for the last two years, but I have a feeling it might look a bit better on the iPhone 6.
EDIT: Assuming that's white. Pretty sure the lighting is making it look bad.
I thought that was white, and the lighting is making it looked dark and washed out.
Anyway, as I said, it's the back of the phone. So it hardly matters.
WHY
First phone I will ever buy a case for.

Yeah, Anandtech's reviews are stellar.
I just worry about everything when it comes to this stuff. This year's decision making process is much more complicated than it's been in the past.
You have 30 days to decide if you like it.
If you don't, take it back and get the 4.7" and a refund on the price difference.
WHY
Is there a reason behind this phone-thong they're using? Perhaps to snap off the bottom of the phone to take it apart?
WHY
As someone that likes the overall design, this is fuckin atrocious. Why didn't they make the bands black or silver to blend in with the back?
You know, I totally think I'll do this actually. Will buy 5.5 inch on day one, if I can't get into it, will exchange for 4.7 inch. Fair plan!
It's what I'm doing.
I think the bigger size will feel nice after squishing my hands together so much on this 5s.
Well in your case then, I revoke my "silly" comment
I thought it was throttled after 5GB, though. Are they not too aggressive with how much they reduce the speed?

Mine feels throttled most of the time. Seems impossible to watch a YouTube video without wifi. :/
Ah okay, so it'll probably have a higher clock speed. I was wondering if that would be the case. That assuages that worry.
Dear God the 6+ is a huge phone. I'm really torn because I'd love the new features that are only on the +, and it would be nice to not really have to carry around a Nexus 7 anymore, but yeah.. That's a big phone.
WHY
Looks like thongs.

This a concern which might lead me to go back from 6+ to 6

OS X Yosemite is going to have a lot of integration with iPhones. You're no longer restricted to iMessage, you're able to send txts and make phone calls on your MBP when your phone is range. Not sure if that is important to you, but it is an advantage if you're already in the Apple ecosystem.
And again, the specs aren't going to mean shit. If you're actually worried, wait until the benchmarks comes out, the 6+ will do fine. There's no reason to think you won't get a perfectly smooth experience on the phone (TouchWiz on the other hand).
