It said the same thing when I upgraded to the 4s and again with the 5s. As long as you have the $40+$10 premium data plan, you won't have to change anything to upgrade. Just make sure to call employee care to activate, as the normal service reps have no clue when it comes to SERO, and can and will fuck up your plan.

This thread on the Sprint community forums basically covers the same issue.

Thanks for the reply and the help!

So is there anywhere to preorder and get it on release day? Apple Store won't let me order it because of my SERO plan I guess.

I'm stuck with the waiting in line approach if I want it on release day, aren't I?

 

[Cuphead]

Anyone that preordered on Verizon actually get a shipping date near the release date?

Mine says expected arrival, 9/19

Haven't been charged yet, still processing.

Not if you pay attention to actually performance and benchmarks running the OS and apps.

Again, a strange effect of Android's spec parties. There's a suggestion that the way Android phones have to throw power in a phone and hope for the best with their third party OS means that on paper specs prove performance differences. Yet iPhones benchmark competitively.

It might be different now but I remember seeing how much ram was actually required just for the galaxy to run Touchwiz. My 5s feels super smooth with half the ram.

 

[Ovid]

Has anyone been able to preorder directly from Tmobile at all??

Ordering from the website, I got as far as signing the contract. They even sent me a copy of the signed contract, but then when I hit submit it errored out.

Yes, it worked for me.

That size does look nice. I think the 6+ would be too much for me personally. 1 week left.

ATTN: Sprint people on the SERO Premium 500 plan

My chance to get the 6 Plus on release day is gone so I don't care about it anymore, but I noticed when trying to upgrade via Sprint's website, it says I'll have to change my plan. Did anybody else deal with this? Is this a thing they're going to do now to trying to get those of us left on SERO off of it?

the website can be flaky, phone ordering or in-store is better.

Doesn't the present participle "unboxing" usually describe a video wherein someone actually takes something out of its packaging?

 

[suaveric]

Hmm.. after reading everyone saying they're canceling their ATT orders I decided to check mine. Are people freaking out because it doesn't say delivery on the 19th? My orders now say delivery from 9/23 to 10/2. But is that even accurate? I feel like last time almost everyone got theirs on release day that preordered on the first day. Or should I be freaking out?

Att rep acted like it was accurate. My friend said this happened to him last year and he got it on time just fine. But why risk it?

 

[Squalor]

I'm really hoping stores have floor models on display next week before the phones' releases on Friday.

We really don't know anything at this point as to how accurately ATT's shipping estimates stack up.

Now we play the holding game with Apple

 

[Cuphead]

I don't think a lot of people realize that the plus is note sized.

 

[Jomjom]

Yes, it worked for me. I got to confirmation page.

Did you sign that Equipment Installment Plan? If you purchased it that way?

 

[ReAxion]

I got a reservation number last night and just now found where to enter it.

Got 6/64GB/Space Gray. In Store Pickup 9/19 at the store by my work. Thrillhouse.

If there's a line, do you get to cut it?

 

[Ovid]

Yup. I decided to upgrade from the $30 plan and go with the $80 one as well.

Truly unlimited.

 

[ReAxion]

I imagine so, since my stock will be different than what people are lining up for. Pickup was not available at the store closer to my house. I wonder if stores were able to opt in or out for this service.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

have sprint, they've already charged me as far as i can tell from their website. How can i check my delivery estimate?

 

[Squalor]

Since your stock is reserved, I figure it wouldn't matter if you had to wait in line, though.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

It wasnt working all morning. I was finally able to preorder from TMobile.com at 10am EST.

Did you have an existing account (process your order through the upgrade function)?

 

[Jomjom]

Yup. I decided to upgrade from the $30 plan and go with the $80 one as well.

Truly unlimited.

Congrats!

Just got off the phone with customer service and they confirmed that my order did not go through.

 

[The Lamonster]

How soon do you guys think I'd be able to walk into an AT&T store and buy a regular iPhone 6 without preordering?

 

[Jomjom]

How soon do you guys think I'd be able to walk into an AT&T store and buy a regular iPhone 6 without preordering?

Probably next year.

 

[Cuphead]

How soon do you guys think I'd be able to walk into an AT&T store and buy a regular iPhone 6 without preordering?

November at the earliest and that's a hard maybe.

 

[mercenar1e]

How soon do you guys think I'd be able to walk into an AT&T store and buy a regular iPhone 6 without preordering?

second or third week of October.

 

[ReAxion]

Well I'll be going after work, so the line should be gone by then (?)

I'll make a frowny face if I do have to wait in line. There might be a line just to get a rep to make the sale for me, though. Didn't think of that til just now.

 

[HUELEN10]

Guys, something is up at T-Mo.

I just left a corporate store, after inquiring for their new wi-if booster, and they told me they could pre-order any and all models, for 100 down for the plus, an they would ship to your home on the 18th, arriving soon after.

How can this be? I gotta add there were dozens of people there ordering and paying too. Something has to be up...

Oh, okay.

I just imagined your showing up at 8 a.m. and walking right to the front of the line in front of dozens or hundreds of people who had been out there for hours.

It was a good thought, haha.

best use case I’ve seen yet for allowing third party keyboards

(hmm. might be in wrong thread)

 

[HUELEN10]

I just inquired about this in person an hour ago.

The answer is no, so line up early. They will NOT sell your order if you are there later in the day, but you NEED to get in line.

Yeah, I think the 6 is the perfect size.

This is perfect, now I'm excited for custom keyboard support.

Oh that would be rich, and awkward. Hah. I do wonder if they'll separate the lines, tho.

Check it, Apple: two lines, wrapping around the block, both directions.

Honestly, that only seems fair, haha.

Line-waiters are going to be out there for hours, some of them over night.

As in supply won't meet demand?

Lancaster, PA, city, population, 60,000, Apple store, do you think I will be able to get a phone there?

Are you implying something is wrong with their online orders, or are you suspicious of the September 18 part?

 

[Squalor]

This was the line for the Apple Store there when the iPhone 5 came out.

I wouldn't expect it to be any better this year, haha.

 

[Guess Who]

Wait a minute, this shows a fifth row of icons there, yay!

There's a fifth row of icons on the iPhone 5, that's nothing new.

It looks like the phone in that video is in the "zoomed" mode (basically an iPhone 5 blown to 4.7") rather than the native more-real-estate mode.

 

[kaskade]

T-Mobile is weird. I'm pretty sure their online and store sale systems are completely different. I ordered a phone online and I thought I could just bring it back to the store to exchange it but I had to mail it in. Kind of shitty for this to happen to T-Mobile since they are making some good progress within the industry.

oooo

 

[LordCanti]

Was it not cracked? Just old? I really wanna try it once I get the new one delivered. Can't be without a phone :x

Just old and in otherwise fine shape. The home button was really screwy and it had previously refused to charge/boot, so I was very happy to be rid of it. After trading in my 5 on top of that, the 6+ will be free basically.

I think it needs to boot, not have water damage, and not be in horrible shape. Worth a shot in any case.

 

[Sobriquet]

Thank you The_Inquisitor and Mdot! I got release day delivery through Apple. If it wouldn't have gone through, I would've had to wait until November! That was stressful.

edit: I also got to keep my unlimited data and avoided the $40 AT&T upgrade fee.

 

[HGStormy]

Still don't know whether to get an iPhone 6, a Moto X or a Z3 Compact.. Sigh. Decisions! They all look so great!

 

[Edag Plata]

So I ordered mine as an upgrade on Verizon's site. As of now it says pending and expected delivery date is the 19th. Any of you who have more experience with this think I'm safe or are they going to pull a fast one later and I'll be delayed until, like, February?
