Will AT&T deliver on the 19th the same as the Apple Store?

14 days from AT&T according to their website...

I can confirm this
Earlier today, a store representative told me 30 days.
Trying to get over on me, huh.

I went through the process of adding a 5s to my cart and it automatically added my AT&T unlimited plan along with it so it should do the same with the 6.
Edit: I should clarify that I meant it automatically recognized my unlimited plan on the Apple website

This is a nice find thanks. With all the posts about the resizing taking place on the Plus, I was starting to question it myself. Even with the slight detail loss from re-sizing down to 1080p, the detail is still much clearer than the native 1:1 display on the regular 6 (in theory, as illustrated by that link).
Now all that remains is the degree / frequency of choppiness (if it's even there). I didn't notice any UI choppiness in the videos I've seen of people using the Plus, but good ol' Anandtech to the rescue in another week or so. I feel a little better about not pre-ordering, if there's is some sort of horrible choppiness to the UI on the Plus (which honestly, sounds extremely un-iPhone like), it's going to be picked up on in the reviews for sure.

Att has a restocking fee.
Apple store does not.

Quick question some of you might know the answer to.
I've got three lines on my AT&T family plan. My iPhone and two dumb/basic phones that family members use. I use their upgrades every year to upgrade my iPhone.
Has anything changed with AT&T or will I still be able to use one of their upgrades, then remove the data plan from it immediately?
EDIT: Seems like it's still possible.

I'm hoping someone here can help me out with this.
If I change my brothers line to a Verizon Edge line and get an iPhone 6, can I still switch phones with him?
Both our lines are on the same account and he's eligible for the switch to Verizon Edge and he says he's fine with upgrading and giving me the 6 and him re-activating he current phone.
The only reason why I'm not sure it'd be okay is because with the Edge program, they let you trade in your phone early if you want to.

Go to a store and put a Note next to your face, problem solved. Or just look it up online, I think the Note 3 has similar dimensions to it if I'm not mistaken.
Also, for pre-orders can you do it through the Next program for AT&T? Or do you have to buy the phone? I've never pre-ordered a phone before.

Naked.
That's the only way to use an Apple product.
Dodocase DURABLES wallet has served my iPhone 5 well for 2 years.
Should be 12 midnight PST 2 AM Central and 3am East Coast.
I guess one should start checking around 10pm/11pm PST just to make sure it doesn't go up early. Apple isn't the only site doing pre-order, some carrier sites are also going to be opening up pre-orders at midnight.
Also, a tip that other's on here gave, was that accessing iTunes store using the app on your iPhone or iPad is usually more reliable/quick (so if the site crashes), try using that instead.

I'm currently with AT&T on an iPhone 5. How can I go about pre-ordering the 6 while changing carriers? I see a lot of ads suggesting the competition is offering better deals than AT&T.
Can I just pre-order the new phone and then go to a store to change over my carrier there? Also, does anyone know who has the best deal going for two lines right now?

The trade-in stuff isn't complicated. Both AT&T and VZW said they're just raising the minimum trade-in values of certain iPhones starting September 12. You trade in your phone at anytime during their respective promotions to receive a gift card/credit.

Really hard to decide between 6 and 6+. I want to take advantage of the new sprint plan but man I just cannot decide which phone I want. Coming from a galaxy s3, so the 6 would be what I am used to. But a bigger battery, nicer screen and OIS on the 6+ is super tempting. Decisions decisions....
You can start a new contract with a new carrier while checking out at the pre-order. I don't think you can buy a phone and switch a carrier later -- unless you buy it unlocked. But that is off contract and super expensive.
I have this Ringke slim case for my 5s. It was like 8 bucks and came with a screen protector. I'm hoping they make it for the 6 cause I really like it.

I made my own mockup...
I'm going to carry it with me tomorrow at work and see how my workflow would have to change. Two-handed use will be a must I can say that right now. The Home button is super out of the way if you don't.
Don't forget to draw an actual homescreen on it.
Thanks for the info. I'll do that instead.
Also draw Spotify in action, I want to see how it looks on the plus.
6+ does look huge. Too big for me.

Anyone going to choose in-store pickup rather than having it shipped to them? Think I'm going to do this, as I won't have to wait for the UPS/FedEx guy and hope nothing goes wrong in the process. More peace of mind picking it up. Plus, being at the Apple store when they open those doors on launch day is fun!
I'd also be able to make it to work,

though I probably won't.
Should be 6+ gold followed by the other colors and then 6 gold.
Man, I'm just focusing on getting the phone.
Probably one of those nice Apple leather ones. Or naked.

So what are you thoughts? Go contract fee with the lower price or go through your current company?
For people that want to get it at launch, the decision regarding OIS is especially troubling.
Until there is field testing with it, we can only speculate on the performance versus the digital version. Really can't know ahead of time if the 6 is 'good enough'.

Was reading that earlier and immediately thought "we know what one of the new features of the 6S will be..."

Thanks for this. 6+ definitely doesn't work for my needs. Seems like if your clothes fit at all, this thing has to live in a coat pocket or bag. Further, it doesn't seem very realistic for exercising with. Given the design and dependency of the Apple Watch on the iPhone, it seems to me that a reasonably portable and pocketable device is necessary. That is to say, 6+ seems a bit too large to go jogging or to the gym with unless i'm going to take and wear a small bag of some kind.
Eeeeeeh. I think that makes it too large for my usages. I'll give it some sleep, but definitely leaning hard towards the i6.
Personally I'll be buying off contract.
I pay way too much for my contract as a single person.
Yup. Add that along with RAM, and they can pretty much call it a day.
Though I'm really hoping they come up with some type of co-processor like the Moto X has so Siri can be used hands-free without the battery hit. If those 3 things are addressed, will be a damn near perfect phone feature-wise.

It's incredibly frustrating that my contract is up on 10/5/14 and they still want to charge me full price for the phone if I try to pre-order before then. Guess I'll be waiting til then

consider this. You will laugh at the frustation of us early adopters.
