You're looking under your orders placed? Mine doesn't even give me a date, just that the order is being processed.

Yeah, when I placed the order it said 9/19, then 10 hours later it was 10/9, now there is no date.

AT&T could not get their shit together on how much my 5 was worth on trade-in. On the website it's $150 but in their store it's $200 but can't be used to actually order a 6+ and yadda yadda yadda. Employees not knowing their own promotions and stuff

On the bright side, you can still buy the books from the Kindle store on your iOS device and that way you have them anywhere if iBooks or the prices aren't your thing.
Besides being easier on the eyes?
I've read books on phones, the paperwhite is much better.
I'm really excited about the curved glass. I still have my Nexus 4, and the curved edges are such a nice addition. I miss it on my Nexus 5.

Have you tried reading books on a 5.5" screen? The kindle being easier on the eyes was my biggest motivator for getting it in the first place, but I've been browsing GAF at night lately, in bed on minimal brightness + inverted and it hasn't felt too bad.
I've been trying to downsize on the number of electronics I own, which was a huge motivator for me going with the Plus in the first place. It would be nice to be able to replace my iPad and my Kindle as well.
People just have different preferences. If you've used an iPad, you know doing most tasks is a lot more efficient on a bigger screen; it's all about meeting the right amount of productivity for the right amount of portability. For some people, a bigger screen is worth the hit in portability while for others it is not.

Hey. Does anyone know whether the Music app on the 6 Plus represents the iPhone version or the iPad version more? The landscape mode on the normal iPhone right now is USELESS. Album cover grid I don't want. But on the iPad, it's more like a full iTunes and works in both landscape and portrait. Has anyone seen how it looks on the 6+?
Someone posted an interesting thread on Reddit discussing the AT&T shipping estimates in relation to what happened during the launch of the 5S.
So apparently people ordering the 5S from AT&T got a shipping estimate of 10/1-10/13 or whatever, and the phone ended up shipping on time.
This particular post was very reassuring:

This only applies to iPhone 6. we know from several places that even Apple is having supply constraint issues with iPhone 6+.
Ah, really? How do people know to make the distinction?

When a phone is being pushed to November 27th for many folks on ATT pre ordering , you know there is a supply constraint
But maybe there is still hope for those of us with an estimated shipping date of 10/3 - 10/

Yes that is a good point. I had to cancel mine from att (i had oct 13-20)
My strategy is simply. I cancelled from Att and pre ordered from Apple.com. the date still ended up at oct 13-20
HOWEVER.
I will go to the Apple store at 6 am waiting in line where if I do get in a position where I can get a 6+ then while in line I can cancel the Apple order right there with a Apple genius and then getting the 6+ in the store.

30/9 to 3/10 here. Plus 64Gb space gray.
That's a good plan. Or you could just get two and try to resell one of them. If supply turns out to be as bad as it seems, getting one early October could still fetch a high price.
Damn, from AT&T? What time did you order at?

No just off-contract from the store.
That's how mine looks :/

I find it unlikely given that the iPads are almost identical to the phones now & they're pushing way higher resolutions. The iPad version of iOS 7 was shoddily optimised for its first few months, but it's super smooth now.
I sure hope so. The ipads do have some beefed up hardware compared to the iphones, and their big batteries make up for any battery drain from all of that power.
YES. Used to read books on the go on my S3 but the 5S is it a bit too small for that. 6 Plus will be perfect for reading.

Same thing here. Did you order the 6+? My wife's order for a regular 6 still shows a date but my 6+ order does not.

A coworker of mine was going to use some BB credit he had to get a 6+. Needless to say, he's now going to wait for next year's iPhone.
Just hold off on trading it in right now. There should be a link at the bottom of your order confirmation email that goes to the promotion. If you read how it works, AT&T will send you a code when/after your phone ships. You will then have to enter that code on the website when you enter your info for the trade in.
I guess AT&T figured out one thing and that was that people wouldn't be able to trade in their phone until after their new phone arrives. The only problem is that this doesn't help you pay for the new phone, but you could apply it towards your monthly wireless bills.
not yet! need more destiny to fill this void in my life
Yep, ordered from AT&T website and it blatantly stated throughout the process and then in the confirmation emails that I get unlimited data.

Just got a text from T-Mobile saying that my order was in backorder (space gray 6+ 64GB). The lady on the phone said that it's in backorder 'by default' because they don't know what stock they'll get though.

I got this on Verizon so far. Is this a good sign?

Are you a T-Mobile jump member? I didn't order my phone until 11:30pm EST last night but I already got my confirmation and my order says preparing shipment. T-Mobile is giving priority processing to Jump members so maybe if you call and sign up, they'll push you ahead. I joined jump when I placed the order cause I wanted the phone at launch.

I just got a txt from Verizon saying they cancelled my iPhone 6 order from the other night. No reasoning was given, just that I could call or go back to the site to re-order.
I guess staying up til 4:30AM trying to get an order to go through their shitty website was a waste of time after all. My order was listed on the site and I had a confirmation number. However, I was worried because I never got a confirmation email.

for everyone talking about the comics on the 6+. do you zoom into panels?
I had a nexus 7 (2013 model) and found the screen too narrow (portrait mode) to be easy to read comics in full screen. comic pages are wider than the screen so pages have to shrink to fit entirely onto the screen. black top and bottom borders.
ipad mini was better, since its wider and the comic page isnt shrunk down as much. and, naturally, 10 ipad was best.
a 5.5 screen thats the same aspect ratio as the nexus 7 seems kinda small to me for comics, honestly. unless, of course, youre zooming into panels.
not saying its not an improvement over a 4 screen, but Id be surprised if anyone who reads a ton of comics would consider it as good as a 4:3 tablet screen of slightly larger size

Feels so good to be French.
Need to subtract sales tax / VAT from all the non-US countries. For instance, the UK price has 20% bolted on to all models because that's the rate, whereas the U.S. price doesn't include sales tax, which varies by state.
So - 6 Plus 64GB - VAT of £116.50 = £582.50 which = $947.41.

Apple retail store are reservations only right? So there's still a likely possibility that someone has just reserved for the heck of it and I'll be able to walk in and get one?
