So in-store pickup is guaranteed while the 6+'s being shipped are delayed?
Happened to go to a Verizon store while at the mall today, and just asked some basic questions. I told her when I look at my orders placed on the website that it lists I haven't placed any, but that I got a confirmation email. She told me the order would only show up on the main site once it ships (this makes no sense to me), and that I should just keep the email for everything. I also told her my date changed from when I placed it to when I got the email, and she said thats normal and happened to a lot of people. Then I asked her what would happen if I placed an order right now for a Plus in any size, and she said I wouldn't get it until December. Yikes.

My 6+ is due for delivery on Friday. Serial number etc is available by logging in at http://supportprofile.apple.com.

If I ordered it for store pickup, it is normal for my card not to have been charged yet, correct?
What time did you preorder and what carrier?

You know, I still haven't gotten the confirmation email of all things from Verizon.
This is the only thing I have from Verizon. No order shown on the site, no charge on my card. Just the email. I'd call them up or try to get in touch with support.
How did you get to this on the phone? Going to try it now.
EDIT: Got it on the phone. "We find that your order has been received and activated". Dammit lol
Omg... I knew I should have preordered from Apple rather than ATT!!!

I'm in Europe, so I had the good fortune of being able to order unlocked from Apple. I got in at 8.40am GMT (12.40 EST) just before supply ran dry here. It was at 3-4 weeks not long after.
I see... so the 3-4 weeks thang is just an estimate in relations to preordering from Apple...

I mean I have an in store pick up date that says the 19th, so I assume it's guaranteed. When I placed my order it said there were 2 stores that I could choose for pick up, the third store around me didn't have any available. With all of the delays going on it wouldn't surprise me if my order for some reason wasn't actually available the 19th. It's currently still processing and I don't feel I'm in the clear until it tells me that it shipped to the store.

Got the same message from AT&T but it still says mid October.

I got my order in at 3:05 AM EST, and the one I bought was the only one showing as available. I didn't even want the 64GB, was aiming for the 16GB.
I got my order in at 3:30 AM EST.

I was looking through the thread and noticed that the Gold iPhone 6 isn't getting much love. I know its tacky to have gold-colored things, but dammit that's the one I'm getting in October. Hahaha
From Apple?
Are you sure? That's crazy... At least they could have thrown an iPad charging cube in the box...
Gold 5S looks great because it had the white stripe at the top and bottom. It stops the phone from looking too tacky. The two tone approach helps stop the champagne color from being too overpowering.
The iPhone 6 on the other hand, it's completely gold, and that's just a bit too much for me I think. If it still had the completely white parts at the top and bottom I'd jump on it.
Is it good to charge an iPhone with an iPad charger? I've always been under the impression that it wasn't.
Yeah it's fine. It even says its compatible on the Apple Store page. Your phone also charges a little faster. Your phone also regulates how much power it will accept at once.
No, AT&T site. Tried doing it on Apple but the store was down at the time (heard the iOS app was working perfectly though).

It looks a lot subtler in the hands-on videos, I think. It's not nearly as gaudy as some of the pictures make it appear.

You're not getting the phone because of a couple of white stripes? Or do you mean you're not getting the colour?
For what it is, I like it. It's not for me, but I think it looks pretty neat. My sister's getting a Gold 6, so I'm really interested to see how it looks in hand.
Even though I always buy black, I would kind of be all over a top of the line iPhone in 5C colors. I would totally go for that yellow, green or light blue. Colorful phones are great.

My apple.com iphone is preparing for shipment!
Yeah. Got mine through the Apple Store app. Worked better than any other site.
OMG THANK YOU. I haven't received any notifications from verizon or apple that my order was officially received but this totally worked! It now shows up on FedEX's website as arriving on the 19th!
Mine too. Then on Friday I plan on going to AT&T and trading in my iPhone 5 for $200 (as long as they still have that $50 bonus) to out towards my monthly bill.
I know I might be able to get more for it, but i would rather have the convenience of just going to the store.
Yep!
I got through on the Apple Store app just after midnight, and got the message that they were reserving me one but couldn't contact AT&T. So officially, I put in the order yesterday afternoon.
"Preparing for shipping"
Feels good, man.
Look at this google search...

An iPhone 6 Plus charger link sends you directly to the Apple 2amp charger cube...
Yep!

Sounds like you were one of the lucky few (like, 500,000?).

Been mulling it over this weekend and think I'm on board. A little late. I will need to see about preorderin a 6 Plus from Best Buy Canada tomorrow morning. I'm curious to see how long I will have to wait.
I was thinking about grabbing a new iPad Mini when they update but the 6 Plus as a replacement for both iPhone and iPad is starting to make more sense financially.
Anyone know the situation with Bell in Canada?

Interesting, but if you go here http://store.apple.com/us/iphone/family/iphone/compare, scroll all the way down, and it says you get a 5W charger. Now, the link on the google search is for the 12W iPad charger. I dunno though.
Nope. But you would think so since they don't let you select their single line plan when you pre-order on the website (Apple's or Verizon's).
Verizon prominently advertises their $60 single line plan: http://www.verizonwireless.com/vzw/landingpages/single-line-data-plan/
I ended up calling a verizon store and they gladly let me pre-order a iPhone 6 over the phone with that plan.

So I did the verizon trade in your iPhone 4s deal. Do they expect me to trade in my phone before they ship the iphone 6? I'm a little confused by their wording.

Yeah I said the same thing earlier. Totally agree. Gold looked good when it was secondary to the white. With no white glass on the back, it just doesn't look good.
That... looks... official... I am horrified. It is going to take forever to charge the 6 Plus with that thing... I'll compare charging with the 5W versus charging with my 12W once I get the 6 Plus if AT&T ever sends it to me.
You should receive a packing box with your iPhone for the one you're trading in.
It all depends on if the plus will accept a 2A charge.

Of course it will. The buck converter on the phone will take care of it. I don't know what the charger PMIC uses, but I'm sure it's spec'ed to at least 2.1A. I assume the current limit is even higher (probably around 2.5-2.8A)
How does this work!? dial *611>4>Say "orders">2>SS> 1
Do I dial 611 -> 4 ->say 4 -> Say Orders -> 2 -> SS -> 1
What does ss mean!?
