With this development, I change my previous decision.

Trade in the iPhone 4S to AT&T for $200. Get the iPhone 5S. Get Touch I.D. and a beautifully made phone.

pretty sure the trade in promotion is only if you purchase an iphone 6 or 6+ FYI

 

[noomi]

I went with this baby:

Same here, I just really hate the cutout apple logo bit, I hope it's at least covered with a clear plastic or something....

 

[Ninja Dom]

cos spacegray looks like shit?

I went Space Grey.

 

[NYR]

So, with the in store reservation at 0, is there a point of me braving it out next week at a lineup to get it earlier (Canada, Toronto, for reference)

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan, fuck this. Can't believe I stayed up until 2 AM for the same result. So pissed right now.

 

[Servbot24]

cos spacegray looks like shit?

A luminescent surface with a white border is gross and not an option.

 

[Snuggles]

pretty sure the trade in promotion is only if you purchase an iphone 6 or 6+ FYI

I think a fully functional, non-damaged 4S is worth $100 in trade-in credit at AT&T based on my research. That would still work for me. I'll find out in a couple hours.

 

[DarkChronic]

Didn't pull the trigger last night. I just couldn't decide on a size.

Anyone know when the models hit the floor in the Apple stores? Will try them both in person and then order one for late October.

 

[Eiolon]

I went with this baby:

That looks nice. I like how it restores the look of iPhone 4/5 phones. I just wish it didn't have the branding on it.

 

[Addnan]

yay, it has moved to preparing for dispatched

 

[knitoe]

You are officially on the hate list....

[Particle Physicist]

It's not unlocked. Your best bet is to order the T-Mobile (unlocked) one from Apple. Apple even offers 24 month interest-free financing.

Didn't congress recently pass a law that states that providers must unlock phones when the customer requests?

 

[Cuphead]

Lucky bastard.

 

[muteki]

I went with this baby:

I went with the one without the apple cutout and metal edges, just FYI don't order from Spigen's site directly as you can get it from amazon for more than half off, prime in some colors.

 

[Ambient80]

Att rep just told us shipments for all 6+ and most 6 models is 35-42 days. Ouch. Oh well, got what I wanted. Just a bit of a wait.

 

[-griffy-]

Got a text from AT&T this morning that my phone has already been processed and sent to the warehouse for shipment.

 

[jwluther]

I went with this one.

Branding isn't as bad, and I really like the utility of storing my cards in my phone case. Been doing that since 4S.

 

[Particle Physicist]

We signed up for next, heres how it works out...

Right now I was paying 50.00 a month for my portion of unlimited talk, text and shared 10GB of data.

So that's 1,200.00 for two years of phone service, plus buying a subsidized phone (lets say 300.00) brings the total to 1,500 every two years.

On AT&T next, my monthly portion is now 27.50, so 660.00 for two years. Then, my 300 phone is 37/month. Now, I did the 12 month plan. If I waited 24 months, I'd be paying more, but then I wouldn't have done the 12 month plan! I would have done the 18, or 24. If I had done the 18 or 24 month, my monthly phone payments would have been lower.

So AT&T next becomes a ripoff if you sign up for say a 12 month plan and DON'T upgrade at the 12 months.

50-27.50 a month for unlimited talk text and a share of 10GB? How is it so cheap for you? How many people do you share with?

 

[Bowser]

I like this case from Versus, but it's twice as expensive as the Spigen:

[Varion]

Well, one ordeal of a trip to the bank later, the payment authorisation message is gone!

Was scared it'd end up delaying the delivery into next month, but fortunately not.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I'll wait for a half decent case. Cases at launch are always based off of dimensions on paper and tend to have little issues that result in my phone getting scratched by the case.

 

[Interfectum]

Shipments as of *now* or last night?

is that for a 6+ and where can i get it?

 

[Maninthemirror]

Did they just send 10 phones to att for launch date?!

 

[CloakedPuppet]

I like this one - any idea what the style name is? Can't seem to find it on Amazon Canada.

No. It only made unlocking legal again.

 

[noomi]

Can you please link to your case

 

[MilkyJoe]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan, fuck this. Can't believe I stayed up until 2 AM for the same result. So pissed right now.

 

[twozerotwo]

They'll make way more money from reselling your used phone than they're losing with JUMP!

What is your expected delivery date?

I went with ordering through Apple and I transferred a line from T-Mobile and the email says I'll get it the 19th.

Didn't want to deal with probably waiting in a line so I'm having it shipped to me.

California here, BTW.

[ZeroX03]

Seems everything except the 128GB iPhone 6 models have been pushed back a week in Australia. Most of the 6+ units are at a month long wait. Looks like rumors of production issues were true, most people won't be getting their units til October.

 

[NekoFever]

Didn't congress recently pass a law that states that providers must unlock phones when the customer requests?

Only when out of contract, I believe.

 

[Dominator]

Looking for a case for the 6 Plus that will keep the phone slim but also have a flap that covers the screen.

Am I already dead?

 

[BSsBrolly]

I'll wait for a half decent case. Cases at launch are always based off of dimensions on paper and tend to have little issues that result in my phone getting scratched by the case.

I didn't have that problem with Spigen. Ordered a case for my Nexus 5 the same day I ordered the phone (whenever it launched, I can't remember). I also ordered a second case to switch it up a bit. In fact, that's why I decided to stick with them for the iPhone 6 and plan to stick with them from now on. Nothing but good experiences with them.

 

[HUELEN10]

Apparently, most stock is at two stores; Apple and Walmart.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Ugh, I preordered from AT&T @ 3:30am yet:

Shipping Date: 10/31/14 - 11/11/14*

Yet my card has already been charged. I'm so confused.

 

[Interfectum]

Ugh, I preordered from AT&T @ 3:30am yet:

Do they only charge your card when it's ready to be shipped because I'm getting the same info you are and I've been charged.

 

[knitoe]

Which 6 or 6+ and size?

 

[sweetvar26]

So do the delivery dates usually move up as the release approaches or am I stuck for 2-3 weeks of wait for the 6 Plus?

 

[Maninthemirror]

I went with this one.

Branding isn't as bad, and I really like the utility of storing my cards in my phone case. Been doing that since 4S.

you don't need that case with Apple Pay. just saying.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I've never heard of Spigen before :/ are they any good? I was hoping Speck would have cases for launch, I've had a Speck case on my 4S for years and it's been perfect.

 

[CloakedPuppet]

6 Plus: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JH83IK0/?tag=neogaf0e-20

6: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JH88L8O/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Thanks! Grabbed one albeit at a bit of an inflated price up here.

 

[jwluther]

Driver's License + Student ID.

And it'll be a while before Apple Pay becomes universal...

 

[Mononoke]

Unless you live in an incredibly densely populated neighborhood (in New York or London or Los Angeles, et cetera), you could probably get to a carrier or Apple Store around 5 a.m. and still get the phone you want next Friday.

I might give it a shot. But I really can't go any longer without a phone. It's been really shitty for my job and everything else. I guess if I go in store on the 19th it won't be any different then had I got my pre-order (as that would have only got here on the 19th). So I guess I'll give it one more shot and line up early as fuck on release date.

But I'm not feeling optimistic after all this bullshit. Sprint fuckin sucks as a company. Garbage provider. I'm really thinking of just getting an android device and using it for 6 months and then trying again at a later time for iPhone 6 + I expected this to be a hassle, but not this bad. Fuck. Then again, I just must have bad luck. So many people on here got their pre-orders nice and easy. Just my luck that when I actually need a phone (don't have a temporary one either), I can't get jack shit.

 

[Sobriquet]

When my order went through last night (64GB Plus), I got a notice saying that my unlimited data plan had been removed, and that it's shipping 10/02/2014 to 10/13/2014.

I called this morning AT&T and was told that I'm keeping Unlimited, and my phone is shipping on release date.

I know a few others thought they might also lose their unlimited data, so I definitely recommend calling.

 

[BSsBrolly]

I've never heard of Spigen before :/ are they any good? I was hoping Speck would have cases for launch, I've had a Speck case on my 4S for years and it's been perfect.

In my experience (2 different cases), yes very good.

 

[HUELEN10]

Ugh, I preordered from AT&T @ 3:30am yet:

Chargeback, call to cancel, and get in line.

Your best bet ATM.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

In my experience (2 different cases), yes very good.

Okay, thanks. I'm completely paranoid and probably won't even use the phone until I can get a decent case + tempered glass screen protector. I'm like this with all of my devices, and thankfully it's worked out for me. 4S for 2+ years, still in perfect condition.

 

[thiscoldblack]

I was unable to go through the check out at T-Mobile's website this morning, so I tried to call them and there was a 2 hour wait. Two hours. The demand for the iPhone 6 is crazy. I opted for them to call back, however, I might just wait until the craziness is over and can just pick it up at the store.
