that's insane.
Reasons it's not possible today, sure. But just adding a small backup battery to phones, or adding redundant functionality to a future version of the watch could make it a reality.
They may have just placed a hold on the amount of your purchase. It should disappear in a couple of days.

I dunno. I think if everyone's status remains "preparing to ship," that charge isn't going away until it posts.

Part of me really wants the Plus but I don't know if it's too big for me. I currently have the 4s which is really small in comparison but I'll feel like I am getting an inferior phone if I just get the 6. Is it really worth it to get the Plus over the 6? The price isn't too much of an issue as some of the deals are really affordable over here in the UK.

Can you explain this more? Your post has me worried due to the non-pixel perfect reference.
AT&T gives me 10/21 - 11/11 ship window, but charged my credit card already.
Isn't it good manners to charge the card when you actually ship the goods, not f-n two months in advance?
For those who cancelled your AT&T order, have they charged your card already when you cancelled it?

Just cancelled mine and I wasn't charged anything.
Yeah, my card was already charged. It hasn't been removed yet, but it's only been a couple of hours.
edit: I'm assuming Apple won't charge me until it ships, like a normal company.

How the hell does that represent normal viewing distances?
This again seems to ignore the point of the Retina branding. Does more density make a difference? Yes. When you aren't looking for the difference? Almost never. Retina is not a botched idea that 6+ is correcting folks. It is successful on all Retina displays.
http://www.paintcodeapp.com/news/iphone-6-screens-demystified
this was the page that Maninthemirror excerpted. it explains it better than i could in words, i think. (scroll down the page)
the 6+ display is 1080p but it’s rendering a larger screen size and downsampling. retina display macbook pros do this if you pick a scaled resolution that’s not exactly 2X the native resolution.
on the MBP, this downsampling adds a bit of fuzziness to text (only compared to the pixel perfect 2X retina resolution) but those screens are around 220 ppi, not 400 ppi as on the 6+. the downsampling might not produce any noticeable fuzziness.

weird when did you order? I around 3 am give or take a few minutes and didn't get the confirmation until 9:25 am.
wow thats crazy, i'll call them tomorrow morning and see if i can change my address.

Hmm thanks. Almost makes me want to cancel and go for the 4.7. I read a ton of books on my kindle app on my phone. I would think PPI would not make much of a difference. You'd just see that 23/20 ratio more clearly as a result

When can we expect reviews to come out? I guess that will tide me over until end of Nov when I can upgrade.
Yeah, that’s what I’m curious to see. first time Apple hasn’t gone pixel perfect on a display. always a little risk of artifacts when that’s done.
but keep in mind impressions form journalists at the hands on area didn’t mention anything about text fuzziness. So i think the high PPI may make any fuzziness on a scale so small that text still looks as good (or better) than the other, pixel perfect 326 ppi iPhones.
@effingvic. i think they usually come out a few days before the phones go on sale. so wednesday. give or take a day.

But the text is clearer on the Plus, due to the higher DPI. Right? I mean the A looks best in the image on the right. I'm looking forward to some reviews. Any more updates on the choppiness mentioned earlier with the Plus?
anyone else on verizon not get charged yet?
i got my email confirmation and order #. just no chrage yet.
Should i be worried?
I have not been charged yet either and I have Verizon.

Yah that's fair. I don't think I gave full appreciation to the fact that it's rendering at 3x instead of 2x on the regular 6. The "a" does look better in the 6+ column.
The OIS and Battery almost got me to go with the 6+, but the past few days I kept track how often I use my phone with one hand. A lot! Laying in bed, at work, etc. And I am 6'3" with decent sized hands. Still couldn't do it.
But for some the 5.5" will be great so enjoy. The battery on the 6+ makes me a bit jealous.
We get so screwed up north. Tried to get another contract, but the new minimum monthly rate for an iPhone is now $70 a month. It's essentially the same plan I have now except $20 more. It'd be cheaper in the long run for me to get a 6 off contract and use one of those pay as you go plans. Ridiculous.
There is always stock for those waiting in line in my experience. Also, for those that need to swap phones due to a defect, etc.

I canceled my 6 order that was going to be delivered on Friday, and went ahead and ordered a 6 Plus that is 3-4 weeks out. Go big or go home, right?
And my Verizon bill is actually going down by $10/month by getting rid of my unlimited data (sucks losing it, but I tracked my usage and it's only like .6GB/mo since I'm always around wifi).

Wait, has any site reported about choppiness on the Plus? First time I'm hearing about this.
Do both. Return the other.

This. I rarely use my phone with two hands. Once the new and sexy wears off, it's still just a phone. I don't want it to be a hassle later on.
You have to call. Took me about 10 minutes to get through (twice).

Hmmm gonna see if I get a shipping order next week ( hope it's placeholder date on my order page). Then camp out at apple store.

I'm not going to the apple store
Some people are posting they are now expected to get the phone mid-November.
I finally ordered 2 iPhone 6s through a Verizon store. My husband's Silver is coming next Friday, my Space Gray isn't coming until 10/7 though I'm thinking about switching to the 128GB model to get it sooner, I see those are still available. I'm doing their Edge program so it would only be an extra $5/month.
I'm so impatient...
