not the least bit surprising
Join us in line next Friday, Deku Tree.
Not me. I like using Apple devices caseless, but the resale value is great on a scratch free Apple device. Sacrifice a bit of style for value and protection.
Damn I ordered from att also... but I really don't want to wait that long. I just ordered an hour ago.
October 1, 2015 ship date, haha.
Fuck I thought I'd wake up and see the order status move to less than 3-4 weeks, nope.
So when I ordered I had been hitting refresh on the apple site for about 90 minutes, while at the same time hitting the SIM-free button in the app over and over, and only then did I get one rare moment to order a 64gb space grey plus.
My question is, did Apple process a lot of orders this way, and just ended up selling out? Or was this model supply constrained from the start and estimates were always at 3-4 weeks? I find it really amazing that the Apple Store never actually came up and already the ship times on that model had slipped. I was able to see the short ship time a few times on the 128gb but that is just so unnecessary imo

Order status on apple.com store is all sorts of broke.
Never. Over the course of 2 years I drop my phone a few times, and even if the screen doesn't shatter you are guaranteed to leave permanent damage to the casing.
That's also still too long. 9/19 or nothing!!!!
Damn didn't even see that 2015... the thirst for the Iphone 6 is real yo...
How many kids do you have?

Try the Apple Store app - it let me order and keep my unlimited data plan. Downside is that it said the order was interrupted at the end, and to wait for a confirmation email to see if the order went through. Haven;t gotten anything, so not sure if the order worked. annoying..

What in the fuck? I tried to click cancel link on premiere page and it just redirects to add my order number and zip code in. I have no idea if it's cancelled or not and I can't order from apple site either.
My 6 order is still for the 19th. ANd i placed my several minutes before midnight because the site was acting up.

Hmm. Can't decide between these two.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LL6ZPXY/?tag=neogaf0e-20
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JH885TE/?tag=neogaf0e-20
There are others on Amazon.
Can anyone give any insight on either of these?
Since a lot of you guys are vouching for Spigen I'm gonna have to look into their cases at lunch.
EDIT: While I'm at it, anyone recommend a screen protector?

No, they are offering $50 on ANY 2 year contract signed at Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile store. Its not limited to the 6, but it includes it.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/misc/re...02/pcmcat274000050002.c?id=pcmcat274000050002
*edit* that was last years offer, this years is here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/mobile-...ls/pcmcat293000050015.c?id=pcmcat293000050015 I signed up for it soon as it came up.
Best Buy requires a $50 downpayment on the phone, but it goes toward the balance.
I have no clue, This is the 3rd year for the program though, kinda suprised no one else seems to know about it. Its open to everyone.
I tried to order on Apple's site for "pick up in store" but it wasn't an option in my local store. I am guessing that I would have to get in line the night before and even then no guarantees. My 5S can last me until I get a 6 Plus in the mail... I just hope this doesn't delay my upgrade eligibility for next year...
Hmm, still no email from ATT about my order. And when I log in and check Order Status I get an error saying no orders can be found. I did however get the 1.00 charge on my credit card last night right after I ordered around midnight. I have no idea what's going on.
Well that site says it expired in 2013...

My credit card has been charged. I have no idea if I cancelled my order or not. When I go to status page it still shows up as pending.

I wonder if I could probably skip work, sell a spot, and end up making more money that day...
How much do people actually pay for spots?

Telus offered AppleCare+ for free if I allow my shipment date to be delayed as late as October 15th. Solid deal. I think I'm finally becoming more patient!
Oh damn that's a good deal considering they have accidental coverage too.

Around my parts, anywhere from 100 to 600 USD; one time, an ex-roomie got a grand.
When I was camping for a Wii back in the day the guy in front of me got a grand for his PS3 spot.
I'm seriously considering doing this now, how early do you usually show up?
(I'm in Chicago)
It's comforting to finally see that someone else is waiting at least.
Made my order at 2:30 central this morning.
Me too. Got my email but need that charge.
Went on Apple an hour ago, got a 64GB 6 confirmed with my Unlimited data from AT&T. Received their email, card charged for full amount.
Order from last night on AT&T. Still not estimated date; cancelled on the website and says to expect a confirmation email of said cancellation. No email yet.
Tried calling both the main AT&T line and the Premier line: both say they are too busy to put me in contact with a rep. Total fail.
Now I just want my AT&T order cancelled before they charge me for that since the Apple one looks done and has a delivery date of the 19th.

Man... this T-Mobile situation is properly fucked.
The website hasn't let me proceed to checkout at all.
I went into a nearby T-Mobile store a bit after opening and apparently all of their systems are not working. A guy said he'd call me when they came back up.
Damn.

How the fuck do you have an eta of 19th when I got mine at 8:30 and says 3-4 weeks?
People who take the time to go in to the store are more important to them than people who order online.
No clue, but I went through the process before trying to cancel the AT&T one. Was as surprised as you that it came up with the 9/19 shipping.
Looks like the 6 is well stocked.

Guess that's why I'm getting it a month behind. They think Ottawa is in Toronto, and Toronto is now in Kingston.
The 6 is available for Apple in-store pickup on 9/19 while the 6+ is sold out but still available for shipping 3-4 weeks.

Yeah I ordered through Apple at about 5am pst this morning and got the 3-4 weeks response. Fine by me.
