About to orderer a Spigen cae through Amazon. Standard (cheapest) shipping says "-get it Wednesday, Sept. 17", this is what I want, right?
 
Well I finally got my shipping dates for the 6's I ordered on att last night. 9/17/2014-9/18/2014 expected arrival 9.19.2014.

I got the last confirmation email at like 1am this morning it seems. then the one with shipping dates like at 4. Seems like it is moving along.
 
Ordered through AT&T @ 12:30.

I got a call from my CC company that my card was declined. Apparently AT&T used their own address and not mine as the billing address and Chase declined it. They're working to resolve it but wow is that annoying - did this happen to anyone else? The CC rep said it happened to multiple people on the phone.

Also, for my other order (iPhone 6+), it shows ship date as Halloween :/ I put that in at 12:30.
 
That iPhone box is going to look mighty fine on your front porch, haha.

Looks as though you're about to cancel this pre-order and wait in line early Friday morning.

No. I live in mid rise so it will get held inside. I ordered within 1st fucking hour and email said 19th. Fucking assholes.

I guess I'm going to have to go into a store. I've tried ordering both on Apple and AT&T and neither are giving me options to keep my unlimited data.

If those benchmarks are legit, I wouldn't be shocked if the Plus scores quite a bit higher. You can get away with better heat in there, so I wonder if that small form factor has hit a limit for now until some new CPU innovation.
 
People who were successful with an order through the Apple Store with a pick up date of 9/19. Have you been charged yet? I got my confirmation email and my order shows up in my Apple account as "processing items" but I haven't been charged yet. Does that normally happen when it actually ships to the store? I assume I'm fine because I have email confirmation and all that stuff, just wondering if others have been charged yet.

All I got from Sprint was the initial order confirmation email and then an hour later I got an email saying they charged my card. Hoping that's a good sign that I will get my phone next Friday. Guess we will see.

Nothing about ship estimate yet though.

Hmm, I'm still waiting on the payment confirmation and it's been a few hours. Gonna have to wait a while for my phone I think.

Just got back from Best Buy, got my iPhone 6 64gb Space Grey preordered and a $50 gift card for doing so :)

Almost everyone in line was turned away and mad though when they announced they would not be taking any Plus preorders at all.

50 USD gift card?

Suppose you pre-order and change your mind, do you keep it? A friend on Verizon might want to know this!

They give you a promo card? How would you apply the card to the already purchased iphone 6?

Might only work if done at AT&T retail store.

In AT&T-owned retail stores will receive instantly value as a private label AT&T Promotion Card (“Card”) issued by MetaBank™ or CenterState Bank of Florida NA, via license from Visa U.S.A. Inc.Card may only be used toward purchases of AT&T products & services in AT&T owned retail stores, at att.com, or to pay wireless bill.

Do you have to pay up front @ Best Buy? Might want to preorder one for my Dad.

I figured the 64GB versions might be scarce since I expected them to be more popular this time around due to the 4x memory increase for $100. But the delivery times for the 16 GB 6 is 10/7, but you can still get a 64GB or 128GB for delivery on 9/19.

Maybe Apple just produced more of the higher memory versions.

Edit: delivery dates taken from Verizon's website.

Who knew people wanted larger phones? Certainly not Apple.

Clearly people like them. I wonder how much of their resistance was jobs personal preference.

All the new stuff is like "hey we will make a million versions for everyone" vs the old style "this is the best size for a phone"

They also might have sold 10 times as many iPhone 6's as iPhone 6+'s.

"Sold Out" is meaningless without knowing how many they planned to ship.

True.

I certainly hope that they produced more of the 128GB versions so I can my Golden Iphone 6+ at launch!

i don't think people are buying it just because its larger.. if the 6 had the same features as the plus would people still go for the bigger phone?
What better features? Bigger screen, better battery and optical stabilization?

Were there any others?
